YouTube BoxOffice India !!

[! 0 t A]

YouTube has launched a channel :

YouTube - ‪BoxOffice's Channel‬‏

Where they will be airing bollywood flicks (even in 1080p) for FREE ! It is an AD supported channel. Now I dont know what the frequency of these ads will be, but it is definitely a good start to tackle piracy

First Film released is YRF : Band Bajaa Baraat

YouTube - ‪Movies‬‏

Bah! not my fault,IDM came up on its own

Its really pointless if people are unable to stream it which going by the present broadband situation in India won't happen for a long time to come.

@Bluffy - My point exactly. With FUPs in place, how many movies can a person stream? What about speeds? Will people wait for the movie to buffer first?

I am on a 768Kbps connection, and was able to stream a good 20 mins of the movie without break, with a pre-buffer of 5 mins @ 360p. For 460p a pre buffer of app. 15 mins is required.

Hey guys

I have tried the second link and dunno why, IDM is not catching it?

The first link in OP, only the current movie, i.e. Band Baaja Baarat got caught, others were still unavailable

Is it working fine for you? Using Chrome BTW

I have also noticed this. While BBB can be downloaded via the IDM window/prompt that comes up automatically some other movies can't. For instance the following:

Mili:
YouTube - ‪Mili‬‏

Golmaal:
YouTube - ‪Golmaal‬‏

Its not like I want to download these movies. I already have them. But how does youtube manage it in such a way that some movies can be downloaded while others can't? Isn't the streaming technology same for all videos on youtube? Maybe some experts here can shed some light on this.

^^ I have faced this issue wherein no youtube downloader (no website, no IDM) was able to download few of the full length videos that i wanted it to download. I had opened a thread for same in internet section.

I see that the requests are coming with the header X-Content-Type-Options set to nosniff.

Now so many airtel noobs who don't know they have been FUP'd are going to find out when they try to watch these movies.
