That did the trick. Big thanks for help.
BTW since the name potplayer was mentioned do you have any experience with this player? I really would like to use it to play Youtube but I am not able to solve similar problem with playlists I had with mpc-hc.
If the command executed looks like this:
PotPlayerMini64.exe <video_url>\"Title" <audio_url> /same /current
potplayer opens and plays both video and audio correctly. But it adds to its own playlist only the video stream. One can check this simply by double-clicking on this playlist entry which restarts playback. And this time only the video is present, not audio.
I have experimented with potplayer's own playlist files (*.dpl) but I'm simply not able to format them the way the player sees both streams as one and plays them at the same time. I succeeded with mpc-hc but not this time. It a pity because I like potplayer's thumbnail previews on navigation bar a lot. On the other hand potplayer's own build in youtube engine causing frequent Youtube's blacklisting "due to suspicious activities". SVP Tube is much better with its built in cookie support which prevents that. But is it possible to connect both of these two apps the way the potplayer's playlist works correctly?

Yes, there isn't such a feature in mpc-hc64 directly but I would like to pass "video title" along with video, audio and subs url's to vbs script which prepare playlist and then add this playlist to mpc-hc with /add command line parameter. mpc-hc has an annoying bug where calling "mpc-hc64.exe video_url /dub audio_url /add" results in two instead of one new playlist items, separately for audio and video stream which is incorrect. The bug manifests itself when mpc playlist is not empty so for the second playlist entry and the following.
As a walk around I generate temporal playlist.mpcpl file with all needed streams present and then call "mpc-hc64.exe /add playlist.mpcpl" from inside the script. And this time mpc adds new playlist entry correctly without splitting video/audio streams into separate entries.
To simplify integration with SVP the vbs script is converted to exe and named: mpc-hc64.exe
Basically it works correctly. But I would like to take advantage of the opportunity playlists give to set the proper playlist entry name instead of generic autogenerated "index.m3u8" (or similar). It will help navigating through the resulting mpc playlist by a lot.
So I need a way to pass a "video name" to an app which is called by SVPTube to display video.

Hi! Is it possible to pass youtube video title (which is parsed correctly as anyone can see in SVP Tube window) to an external player?
I tested in the advanced settings (tube>player>user):
"<path>\mpc-hc64.exe" "%1" "%2"
"<path>\mpc-hc64.exe" "%1" "%t"
and a few more but to no avail.
I need this to proper playlist creation for mpc-hc64 player. I'm using external vbs script to do this so any method to get title data using vbs will be sufficient I think.

This works perfectly. Mission accomplished.

I'm not so sure. Note that any such passing requires two arguments if I'm correct.
The problem will manifest itself nevertheless. I'm using wscript and vbs script and:
   wscript "C:\StartMPCBE.vbs" "%1"
not working.
I'm not having access to audio stream coz you split audio and video and not put audio in %1 variable.
How to pass audio url to script then?
 

EDIT:
   wscript "C:\StartMPCBE.vbs"
doesn't work either. Video with no audio.

I'm supposing: &WScript.Arguments.Item(0) i'm using for accepting the arguments whithin the script does not like white characters. This is probably the cause of my problem (no audio).

EDIT2
No, it seems you can have access only to video url, audio url is getting lost and not passed "outside" right now.
Just like I said I have to use 2 arguments and exe and that's the place something is wrong with code (more then one argument) and audio url is going with the wind smile

"/add" adding new entry in player's playlist and play it or not depending on other settings.

Why:
mpc-hc.exe" <video-url> /add /dub <audio-url>
but not:
mpc-hc.exe" <video-url> /dub <audio-url> /add
?

%1 should be equal to:
<video-url>
or
<video-url> /dub <audio-url>
depending on the non-DASH / DASH isn't it?

EDIT. I checked this scheme in command line:
   mpc-hc.exe" <video-url> /add /dub <audio-url>
and it works too. So now I don't understand. If I manually issue the command SVPTube2 is supposing to generate I'm getting all OK but if I let the SVPTube2 to do this (generate and execute) for me I'm getting no sound for DASH and invalid stream for non-DASH content.

The thing I'm trying to explain here is that both players executes /add correctly also in DASH when issued within command line.
Try this with mpc-hc.
Standard setting in SVP:
  mpc-hc.exe" "%1"
Open any DASH video, it plays ok. Look at playlist and copy the playlist entry to the clipboard. This entry consists of 2 url's with CR character between them. So you can extract <video-url> and <audio-url> from this. Having that, issue from command line:
  mpc-hc.exe <video-url> /dub <audio-url> /add
and you will see the video is being added to playlist and play with sound. This works ok.

The thing is I can't make SVPTube2 to behave like this. As seen above SVPTube2 is able to get both utl-s correctly and send it to mpc-hc.
But for some reason I'm not able to set SVPTube2 to add "/add" swith at the and of command it generates.
Don't know why. After setting:
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe" "%1" /add
I'm getting what you said: only Video for DASH and invalid stream for non-DASH.
This is not the mpc-hc or -be fault.

Yes, it does. (at least in MPC-BE)
I checked this a few seconds ago.
Extracted <video-url> and <audio-url>
Formed the command:
mpc-be.exe <video-url> /dub <audio-url> /add and that worked.

But for some reason changing this in svpTube2 All settings:
tube->player->user path:  C:\AudioVideo\Media Player Classic - BE\mpc-be.exe "%1" "/add"
not working
Maybe it should looks like this:
tube->player->user path:  C:\AudioVideo\Media Player Classic - BE\mpc-be.exe "%1" "/dub" "%2" "/add"
or some other way?

Hi,
I'm struggling a lot with trying to accomplish the very thing explained in the subject topic.
To make long story short I want to force SVPTube2 to add stream to player's playlist instead of playing it immediately.
Can't do this for DASH streams for some reason.
I'm doing the most obvious thing:
- Going to SVP All Settings
- changing tube->player->user path to for instance:
    C:\AudioVideo\Media Player Classic - BE\mpc-be.exe "/add"
    or
    "C:\AudioVideo\Media Player Classic - BE\mpc-be.exe" "/add" "%1"
But this is simply not working with DASH videos (all youtube >= 1080p stuff).

I think there is some specific way SVPTube2 sending these kind of streams to the destination player (especially MPC-HC or MPC-BE) because if I get the video address and manually issue it in MPC-HC I'm not getting audio only video.
I would appreciate any help or explanation how all this work.

For SVPTube1 and nonDASH streams I wrote some vbs script to intelligently add or play immediately the target player depending on the player state.
I want to do the same for SVPTube2 but to do so I have to know the exact command SVPTube2 executes sending DASH stream to DASH-supporting player (MPC-HC or MPC-BE).

I test this program with daum potplayer(64bit). This program is working fine with podplayer smile

On windows 7 (64-bit) ?

I've experienced the same self-healing phenomenon in the past. And that makes me think the problem could be on the server not client side.

EDIT: Unfortunately configuring ESET didn't help. This is something else.
Right now I have to restart SVPTube 3-4 times after each reboot (each time it hangs on "Getting info..."). After that it works ok.

I've done two things:
- Added http://youtube.com* to "list of excluded from filtering" and "List of allowed addresses" in "Web Access protection">"URL Address Management"
-  In "Protocol filtering">"Excluded Application" added svptube.exe to the list.
Lets see what will happen.

Interesting. I'm using ESET Smart Security. Will test this for sure.

I observe this issue just after booting PC, but after playing at least one Youtube video in a browser and subsequent forced shutdown SVPtube by Task Manager (not through the menu of SVPtube) followed by its restart, the problem disappears.

I observe very similar behavior. The first video usually causing trouble. Sometimes I have to restart SVPTube more than once. After that usually no problem until system shutdown. I'm glad you make log working. This functionality of the test version does not working for me, maybe because I'm logged as a user with admin privileges. Don't know.
Hope Chainik will figure what it is all about.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong but logs are not generated. I have edited registry, ran SVPTube as the same user who's logged in and been opening only https videos to no avail. No YT* files in %temp%.

I hanged on  "Getting info for video ..." today (it is quite often the first video played after the system startup which hangs) but could not find YT-xxxxxx.log either. Non present in my system for some reason.

I'm using your test version since you published it but as strange (or not?) as it sounds it's working ok (more then 50 videos opened). And simply cant provide any error log. I wonder how about others with "Getting  info for video" problem.

Seen that minutes ago.
Restart of SVP Tube fixed it for me.

But I still have a "bug" that the video stops after a few minutes while the sound plays on.
Nobody else having that issue with SVP Tube?

I have that same issue with my Note 3 Smartphone since the last update of the Android Youtube app. (technically at the same moment when I recognised the SVP tube problem)
I do know that other users complained about the problem at the playstore. So its not me alone that has it.

Playing a youtube video in firefox browser works fine with PC and Smarthone.

I can't say I have your issue with video stopping after a while but i can say I have the same symptoms of SVPTube hanging on "Getting  info for video" as you and the author of this thread.
Even on the latest version this problem is still present but rare comparing to the older revisions.
It is nearly impossible to replicate because after SVP restart the same video plays fine. When SVPTube hangs on "Getting  info for video" restart is necessary, without that no further videos are recognized and processed.
I'm on 40/4 Mbps DSL BTW and getting full 5MB/s continuous transfer from youtube.

Use latest version of SVPTube.
That fixed it for me.

I've been experiencing major SVP Tube problem for about a week.

Every third - forth link to the youtube video I copy to the clipboard causing my video application (all of them to be more exact: mpc-hc, mpc-be, vlc ) to not render the stream at all.  It stops with status "Invalid" or "Cannot render stream".

I started to search for the cause of the problem.
First of all the videos giving me trouble always played ok in the browser player in both html5 and flash mode.
Secondly they sometimes streams ok with SVP Tube but sometimes do not. It is purely random.
After a few minutes of wait they are playing ok and then stops for a random period of time and so on.
I want to remind that through the browser all seems to be working continuously.

So I started to look at direct links generated by SVP Tube and realized that in not working cases these links direct me to the dead youtube servers. Sometimes they do not even respond to ping. After a few minutes the address returned by SVP Tube changes server domain name and some signatures and video streams ok. Then after a few minutes it skips to the problematic ip again and problem reappears.

I don't know if it is a local (geographical) problem. Browsers however seems to be working without any trouble.
Do you experience similar phenomena lately?
Maybe google changed something recently and SVP Tube should be updated?
