Hm.. does the exporter work for anyone? There are many videos I would like to download

Got always the same result after about a minute processing:

Security question is wrong

Nope. Bomber and I tried it with Chrome, Firefox, IE and in none of those browsers worked. Then he connected to his vps and I connected to my root and it didnt work either, so i guess it just doesnt work lol

They've been updating that page like 5 times, anyway...

EDIT Now it does


Also,

Goodbye my friend, goodbye my love, you're in my heart

So now I'm curious. Not to derail the thread or anything, but what are you guys going to use now, since Xfire is gone?

[Viathan]

I would find it nice to have a member-shoutbox or something like that on this site

[Syyy]

Oh man farewell Xfire.
I guess their competitor Steam took the upper hand.
They are using some sort of queue time to retrieve user's files, so maybe you didn't access to the page because too much people were trying to access the archives.

Please wait - Your archive is being processed...

You are #1105 in queue
Note: You can close this window and visit later; Your data is still being processed in the background.

Very disappointing to see this. I've logged over 11k hours so I'm trying to import them to either evolve or raptr but it might not work in time
Anyway, I'm not sure what our clan will use for IM now. I don't like steam so I'll probably continue using something that has a plugin for pidgin. If I find a way to transfer xfire hours to something else I'll post it here.

I saved some videos from xfire before this happened and will try to upload them later. Maybe led can host an xfire pics/video archive in the download section, or would this take too much space? We should try to save cull's videos, battlebelk's, and any other important ones if possible. The SWBF community relied heavily on xfire for communication and now that it's gone we will have to find something else.

It could also create a lot of content for a potential SWBFGamers Youtube channel.

We have our own screen shot gallery that we can use for individual shots.

We can upload archives of videos, but we should be somewhat selective.

I found a way to save the videos.
You need this tool (it's possible without, but it's much easier with the tool) VideoCacheView
Every video you stream in your browser is actually already downloaded to your computer. Into the cache.
I saved almost every BattleBelk video:

• Chameleon DT
• Chameleon
• Grumbling Tauntaun
• Laser Party 2
• Laser Party
• Retarded Rocket
• Sticky Nade

One is missing: (idk why, but this video is buggy in my cache and I can't export it to .mp4)
Wireframe ATAT

The screenshot gallery does not work for me. I'll try it later.

Edit:
If I got all BattleBelk files, I'm gonna create an archive and Upload it to my mediafire account and/or to swbfgamers if allowed

you can save your profile page by going this link add your username after the profile/
http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/39a41v/xfire_social_profiles_shutdown_save_your/

it looks like this might work for saving screenshots and videos selectively also. save what you can while its still up.

to save xfire video you can copy the URL here
http://www.clipconverter.cc/

it will download as mp4 but it might be slower than viathan's method or using the export feature.

[Black Water]

how can i to the page on the opening post? I've looked on the xfire site and tried looking at my profile but I can't find anything

[Viathan]

Cull uploaded about 120 videos. I think we have to use the exporter here 
I have all videos of BattleBelk now, just the screenshots are missing.

@BlackWater,

Also, if you have used your computer to record videos, there is a local cache at
C:\ProgramData\Xfire\videos
