Google will allow users to download and watch YouTube videos offline in India!

YouTube is popular here. You watch some videos again and again. How awesome would it be if you could keep watching them again and again without having to pay for data, and take the videos with you wherever you go? Within the coming few weeks, much of YouTube will be available offline in India. This is huge, and our users will really, really like this. You can download a video once, save it to your phone, and watch it again and again.

The video would probably stay inside a container accessible to YouTube only. Further the ads would be downloaded on the fly. Yeah at least it is better than having to download it again and again.

i read " you can watch youtube ads offline too."

This feature will only be available in the developing markets for the time being

Makes sense considering the pathetic broadband infrastructure here.

No need to go for the hassle of tubemate now, nice move.

But how do I download lots of videos regarding Tablet-PC and Indian Railways(interest since childhood...),save it on a disk and watch later according to my convenient time,for the past few years???

Digit should release e-mag now, good timing

Edit: Oops, I thought this news includes Newstand, BTW newstand launched in India

Well few years back there are very less ads and google apps were clean at that time they were not facing any problem it is their greed due to which most people are using ad blocker now which instead of helping is just doing opposite..but now ads are too much i even reduced watching youtube videos for this reason.

Does it work on non rooted phone?

You can always use IDM software to download all youtube videos and use Adblock plus to avoid ads while watching online.

I don't think so,i think it only works in rooted :?:

What is Adblock Plus for Android?

Adblock Plus for Android is an Android app that runs in the background and filters ads, using the same filter lists as the Adblock Plus browser extensions. It works on Android version 2.3 and higher.

Because Android's support for traffic filtering is limited, Adblock Plus uses several approaches, automatically selecting the best one for the device:

If the device is rooted, Adblock Plus will filter all web traffic out of the box.
On non-rooted devices running Android 4.1.2, 4.2.1 and higher, Adblock Plus will filter all WiFi traffic, but it needs to be configured as a proxy server manually. Detailed instructions are provided by Adblock Plus for not experienced users.
On non-rooted devices running Android 3.1 and higher, Adblock Plus will filter all WiFi traffic out of the box.
On non-rooted devices running Android 3.0 and older, Adblock Plus needs to be configured as a proxy server manually. Some devices do not support proxy configuration, and Adblock Plus does not work on those.
