My question is specific to YouTube app's new offline functionality.
I have saved some video from YouTube app on my Android phone. I restored my phone OS due to some problem. But I have files that were downloaded by YouTube app stored on SD Card. Now YouTube is not showing that videos in offline list.
Is there any way by which I can open those files in through YouTube app?
Append
I am just wondering whether youtube uses some config files to store list of downloaded videos. If so can we modify such config files and add those videos to the offline list.
Answer
No, currently there is NO way to recover those previously downloaded videos.
Reason?
Offline feature rather counts as cache so it's not considered as "your data".
And since you restored phone (assuming it to be "factory-reset"), what it basically does is to wipe the content specially from the /cache (holding the application cache) and /data (user data and user-installed apps, dalvik cache) partitions.
Caution: You will loose all Downloaded Offline YouTube videos, when you "Uninstall Updates" of YouTube App.
I asked similar question HERE when I too found that my offline videos from YouTube Gone Missing!
