FC: SafariDL - Download Files with Safari (Video Included)

[x999x]

that's good info, I've had a few emails about this where it goes up a folder...

thank you for pursuing your goals

I am a real busy guy these days, but I have this thread bookmarked. I''m also monitorring avplayer support across 5 or so more forums. Including Chinese and Taiwanese iPhone forum.

I'll be checking in from time-to-time

x999x: good video of you setting up and configuring the app, I may be adding it to the app's homepage when I get time.

Thanks Optimo, and as always we value your continued support!

Don't hesitate to ask for help, myself or other community members here are always more than happy to return the favor you've done for us with AVPlayer.

SOLVED* In your video you mention a symlink to move downloaded songs from the media folder into the root folder. I can't find any good instruction on how to do this. What I did find was a basic In -s command (location/ /location), but I get a syntax error whenever I try it. Too bad there isn't an option on where to save a DL'ed file in Safari.

New issue after getting everything working. when i double click an mp3 file in mobilefinder, the file doenst start playing, it jumps back one folder and i have to double click the downloads folder again to see my DL'ed files. i can play them by clicking on the mp3 and hitting modify, open with. i did create all the file associations in mobilefinder as well. they are listed correctly....double checked. just wondering if there was another step or perhaps its a glitch that will be fixed in the next version.

thanks

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't SafariDL work? I enable it but nothing happens.
-Did you restart your iphone as instructed after installing? Not a respring, a restart.
-When you turn the plugin On and Off, are you waiting for the spinning progress bars to complete before exiting BossPrefs?
-Toggle the switch On and Off once or twice, waiting a moment before each toggle. Sometimes the first attempt takes a couple toggles.
-Make sure to leave the media page before turning on the plugin. This eliminates issues where the plist files could not be changed because they were in use.

Where are the Downloads going?
-Downloads are saved by default in: /var/root/Downloads. I put a symlink to /var/mobile/Downloads so that its easier to access later on from Mobile Finder. When Uninstalled, I delete the Symlinked folder but leave /var/root/Downloads in tact.

I Uninstalled, but now Quicktime won't stream my music.
-This happens when the SafariDL plugin didn't close properly, and as such was left on when it was unisntalled. The plist file which tells Safari what to do with a media file it recognizes is still looking for the SarariDL plugin.
-To fix this reinstall the SafariDL plugin and toggle the On and Off switch in BossPrefs a couple times. Check a media file in Safari to verify that your media will stream again as normal. Once you are streaming media content and things are back to normal, you can now uninstall SafariDL.

It can be hard to notice this sort of info in a thread, but the answer is right here in this one.

Hey Optimo,

I posted this in 999's other thread about AVPlayer, but I'm having trouble getting my associations to work in MobileFinder. I set everything up according to the directions, but double-clicking an mp3 just goes up one directory. Any ideas?

And welcome to our community. Nice to have you here!

I'm sorted. Turning on "System File Access" (which is off by default) in MF solved it. I'm a downloadin'/double-clickin'/dancin' dude right now. Thanks to everyone involved in these various projects!

Hey guys maybe someone can help me, i cant get SafariDL to stay on. I go into BossPrefs and turn it on, wait for the spinning load thing to stop and say on, then hit the home button, but if i go back in to BossPrefs it shows SafariDL as being off. Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried toggling it a couple times, waiting too long (like 10 seconds), then exiting bossprefs? I assume you've also rebooted since installing it?

[NicAllen63]

Yeah i have tried all of that, maybe reinstalling it will do the trick?

[psylichon]

that would be my next course of action.

[NicAllen63]

So i uninstalled and reinstalled SafariDL, and no change. Anyone think reinstalling BossPrefs would do the trick? Or does anyone know of any other programs that will let me download things off of safari?
