[Updated for iTunes 4.8] Save iTMS Music videos in iTunes 4.8
Authored by: alazzaro on May 12, '05 05:04:15PM
This Automator file (based the file from the guys at apple-x.net) automatically downloads the movie file, adds it to the iTunes Library and plays it. Click here for the automator file. It has been saved as a Plug-In for the Script menu. Such drop it in the following location '~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/'

I can't get this to work with iTunes 4.8.

I always get a AppleScriptError:
"„item 2 of {"SoundSource"}" kann nicht gelesen werden. (-1728)"

"kann nicht gelesen werden" just means "can't be read"

I think the problem is with Quicktime 7.0, because I can't "right click" on the video in iTunes to get the URL...

Can anybody with iTunes 4.7.1 or 4.8 and Quicktime 7 run it?

Right clicking is allowed with a 4.7.1 and QT 7 Basic setup.

I installed iTunes 4.8 and when I try to "downgrade" to 4.7.1 again,
right click isn't supportet anymore...
Must have changed something more then just the iTunes application, I guess.

Same here: does not work (iTunes 4.8, OS X 10.4.1).

I hope this can be fixed soon.

I guess I found the bug. Open the workflow in Automator, then in the first AppleSript, change:
set UrlBase to "http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/
MZStore.woa/wa/viewVideo?b=a&videoId=" & VIDEOID & "&videoIndex=2..." as text
to
set UrlBase to "http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/
MZStore.woa/wa/viewVideo?b=a&videoId=" & VIDEOID & "&videoIndex=2" as text
(remove the trailing "..." after videoIndex=2). This fixed it to me.

Cheers

I can't seem to get the automator script to show up in my itunes script menu.
I see all the other scripts like add to itunes library, etc, but not the automator script.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Bag the Automator stuff... Just use the long AppleScript that Miller021 posted above. I pasted it into Script Editor, compiled and saved it as a script in iTunes' Scripts folder, then copied the URL to a video in the iTMS, then ran the script. It proceeded to download in a Terminal window. It took all of a couple minutes to get set up. I'm running iTunes 4.8 and OS X.4.1

It seems the only other stumbling block is realizing that you have to be viewing a page in iTunes that is just BEFORE you actually view the video, in order to be able to right-click and copy the URL. This is a little different from the old way we did it, so it's a bit confusing...

Good luck,
John-o
