After I download them, they suddenly disappear and I have to download them again. When they disappear, the "downloads" menu in the side bar disappears.
Where does YouTube those videos for offline use in local device? I am on Mac.
From this site, it seems as if there is no possible way to download YouTube videos via YouTube Premium on Mac computers.
From what I can see from these users, it seems like the video does not download locally regardless, sadly.
"YouTube Premium video downloads are only available on mobile devices such as iPhone and/or iPad. They apparently will not download on a Mac."
"Strange, there was a progress circle showing a download process, though it was on the website itself and not in the usual downloads progress area at bottom of Chrome."
"That progress circle means that it will be downloaded in your devices. It will not download like a file, its only for offline watch into the YouTube app."

I have developed an iOS app that gets webviews from a Wordpress page. These Wordpress pages has embedded Vimeo videoes, which are hidden from Vimeo search and can only be seen and embedded on my domain.
I have a Wordpress plugin for embedding the Vimeo videos. Lately, in the app (not at the webpage/desktop view where the content also can be viewed), instead of showing the video I get the message “Sorry, because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here”. When I go back to the menu, and then back to the video page (web view) a few seconds later, the video is shown and everything's working.
Is it something wrong with the plugin I use?(https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder/)
Or maybe a cache delay?
Update: Can it have something to do with iOS9?
Update II:
I got an answer from Vimeo:
Hi there, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are currently aware of an issue where videos with domain-level embed privacy are not playable on Chrome and Safari for iOS 9.3, or Safari 9.1 for OSX due to a bug with Apple's WebKit browser engine.
We have confirmed that the next update to iOS, v9.3.2, will fix this issue. There is no ETA for the update, however, as Apple does not comment on the timing of their future releases. In the meantime, you should be able to work around this by temporarily disabling domain-level privacy for your videos.
Puffin works fine.
Download a browser app named PUFFIN from AppStore, it is able to run the videos which showed the privacy error in ios 9.3.
I think I already know the answer to this ("can't be done"), but I figured I'd see what people think...
On my client's website they're posting files for download that specifically need to be viewed on iPads using the Cadwork Viewer app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cadwork-viewer/id505161598?mt=8
You can't open the file on an iPad unless you have that app, and I'm wondering if when clicking on the file to initiate download if there's a way to scan the device to see if Cadwork Viewer is already installed. If so, proceed with the download of the file. If not, pop up a notice "This file requires the Cadwork Viewer app, download it here from iTunes." Something like that.
Again, I think this is just not doable, but hey...there's all sorts of things I don't know!
Thoughts?

You can add a banner to the mobile site that lets you open the app from Safari.
Explanation from Apple:
If the app is already installed on a user's device, the banner
intelligently changes its action, and tapping the banner will simply
open the app. If the user doesn’t have your app on his device, tapping
on the banner will take him to the app’s entry in the App Store.
This should be a good starting place.
I've setup a Captive Portal with dd-wrt, wifidog, authpuppy and some plugins from authpuppy as well as my own web app.
I've found that video tag from html 5 could not be played on ios popup broswer(I think it's a UIWebView), while android works fine.
Is it possible to make video play-able on this reduced version browser from ios?
It works in ios 7.
It seems that ios 6 (or below) cannot load some resource types (such as mp4 or zip and so on) in the popup web browser.
Here mention a method to how to solve these kind of problems.(it skips the popup browser)
But if you really want to play videos in the popup browser, I'm also researching it...:P
My app uses mergMP to list and play videos from the iPad library. This works fine for all videos except those downloaded from the iTunes store, which can be listed and selected but only generate a blank screen. (They play OK from the iPad's own Video app.)
Is there any workaround for this?
I have had issues with (song/video) files being listed as playable but that were not actually downloaded onto the device yet. Apples software will download them first and then play them if they are not already downloaded. To test out whether you are trying to play un-downloaded videos on the device: Go to "iTunes & App Stores" Settings in the Settings App on your iPad and then turn off "Show All Music" so that "Only music that has been downloaded to this device will be shown". Then try your app again. If it works then this is why they are not playing. If not then the problem must be elsewhere.
I'm about to launch a service where one of the feature is to upload files with an 'upload' button on a website. Some years ago, I made some program for iPhone, and I remember that it was impossible to upload an MP3 from the library, because each app is in its sandbox, though I was able to upload MP3 placed in the sandbox itself.
There is an old post on SO about the impossibility to upload from the library to a website:
A html5 web app for mobile safari to upload images from the Photos.app?
Is possible as of may 2012 for an iPhone/iPad to be prompted into the music library when clicking on an html upload button?
I don't think things will evolve in your way on iPhone.
I assume your service will not be in native objective-c.
look at the features of phonegap to see what interactions are currently possible :

You can probably develop a dedicated app to extract the music file using the Media Player framework and send them to your service, but I barely doubt it can pass the apple verification team.
Apple will not allow you to do this. Although it may be possible using private APIs or perhaps the Media Player framework, it will not be accepted by Apple.
