I installed the plug-in but I don not see an icon to click on to use it, even after using the arrow on the right side of IE can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I saw in the add on list for IE that it was installed just don't have anything to click on to capture the vids. Thanks Happy New Year;

Gary

i love this tool. its too bad no instructions are included with the file. the zuneit icon is probaby going to be hidden if you are using IE7. look for the icon under the tools menu (yes thats the arrows the author speaks of). also, at first its not clear where the files are stored, or wheather anything is being processed in the BG. if you open the usersyournamevideosyoutube you will see the flash video being downloaded (refresh to check size) and eventually see the new converted WMV file there. awesome piece of soft.

Has not worked at all for me.
event viewer always shows this error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at ZuneIEPlugin.ZuneExtension.Exec(Guid pguidCmdGroup, UInt32 nCmdID, OLECMDEXECOPT nCmdexecopt, IntPtr pvaIn, IntPtr pvaOut)

Even with the picture I still can't get it to show up, I don't get the double arrow that is shown in the picture, I have a 17" wide laptop screen so there is no need for the arrows. Again I see the add on listed in the list of add-ons as active, but there is no icon or other way to activate the add-on. Oh well it would have been nice to have it work, but typical windows program.

I just installed this and had no problems. It did take a a little time for the videos to show in the Zune software, though.

You can add the icon in the toolbar from View->Toolbars->Customize.

I got an error of not being able to convert it from flv to wmv.

I have installed this and it is very cool. Would love to be able to modify it to use with other online services that service up video the same way? Would be cool of there was a gui interface to name a service, give baseline URL, and off you go.

Anyone know how to fix it?

Michael, if you look at the way the resultant files are named from ZuneMyTube, I think it'll answer your question about why the tool is tied to YouTube & GoogleVideo right now.
When videos are played back on YouTube, the identifier for the stream as read from YouTube is a jumble of unrecognizable characters - not an easily-readable English language video title. This isn't very user friendly and obviously a lousy way to save file names for individual users. Imagine the ease at which you could archive 50 videos from YouTube using ZuneMyTube... each saved with horrendously unrecognizable names like aDSehSDktyG.WMV.
Instead, ZuneMyTube renames the video when it saves it to disk to the video title which is scrapes from the YouTube page, eliminating any spaces to make a single contiguous file name.
For example, the video at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWf7yVt5NA0&mode=related&search=
...has a unique "ID" of "aWf7yVt5NA0" when it's sent from YouTube. Without any title mapping logic, the file would probably be saved as "aWf7yVt5NA0.flv". The real "understandable" title should be "AndrewtalksabouttherecentturmoilatRocketboom.flv" which would be converted to "AndrewtalksabouttherecentturmoilatRocketboom.wmv".

That's why random services & random URLs can't be used: I believe specific logic for determining a good file name has to be coded for each online video service. Sure it could be expanded in the future, but this is beta, right?

Has anyone figured out how to fix the 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object error msg' yet? Seems like several of us are having that problem but I can't find a fix for it anywhere online.

After installing the plug-in, it functioned for ~5 videos and then ceased to convert. Running flvtowmv from a command line netted the following:

Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040207): The owner SID on a per-user subscription doesn't exist (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040207)

I know a good software for converting youtube videos. It is Moyea YouTube to Zune Converter. All you should do is to copy the URL of YouTube video and copy to the specified field for URL. Click the big button on the bottom-right corner, and the conversion begins.
This only limit for the trial version is the watermark on output video.
Try the free trial at http://www.my-video-converter.com/youtube_to_zune/ and the output video could be WMV, MP4.
You can set H.264 as the video codec for MP4, after clicking the “Settings” button. The quality with H.264 is stunning for Zune.
