Before I released Quirky 1.0, I tested You2pup, it worked fine, using 1.3-1, and that's the version in 1.0 final.

Today I tried again, to download one of Lobster's videos on Youtube, named it "lobster1", clicked Download button, it created "lobster1.mp4" but only with this text in it:

wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

So, I installed 1.3-2, but get same error.

So now we know they don't want us to do it?

I have stopped using M$ Windows so I have not tested the versions of downloading they have.

Has any of you tried if they work?

I just checked and Firefox has 3 or 4 one-click youtube downloaders. I would say, let them handle it (unless I am missing something which is always possible).

Why use apps like You2Pup or web services like www.dirpy.com when you can download files from YouTube with Puppy Linux + Opera easily?

Just start Opera, load the YouTube page with the video you want to get. Then pause the playback, wait until the video is buffered (loaded) completely.
When the video is fully loaded, play it for a second and pause it. Then browse to the /tmp directory with ROX-Filer.

You'll see a file named Flashxxxxx. Rename the file to blablabla.mp4 and copy it somewhere to your hard drive. Now you have the original video without any transcoding/degradation that adversely affects quality.

NOTE: You CAN'T do this thing in Windows 7 (!) The flash temp files are protected and locked with some kind of DRM and there's no known way to unlock them. You can't copy/move them or even view them in a video player to see what they are.

This is another big advantage of Puppy Linux. It rocks as a YouTube downloader.

Gnome MPlayer (included in Quirky) plays the Train Fail video perfectly

GXine is a great audio and internet radio stream player, but it sucks ass for video.

FWIW, I just performed a Full install of Puppy 4.3.2 v3, acquired a flash file in the manner described above by panzerpuppy, and it plays okay in gxine 0.5.9.

switched 2 q1 and was able to play the previously download video. thanks.

Panzer, that is so cool. Finally a usage for Opera browser then

Typical of me to fail something. Very good but behave in peculiar way.

Sound fails for me on the mp4 if Opera is running. Have to shut down opera and the sound comes back.
Another bug is that Opera fails to pause the video. It just goes on playing but download of temp works anyway so thanks indeed for describing this way to save things on yt.

Wonder if they come up with ways to stop that one too. They are at it I guess.
Fun while it work

Edit after more testing

I used opera in Q21 to download a tmp file of Dizzy Miss lizzy Larry Williams.

Reminded me of when I was 13 years old and loved the Little Richard screaming.

It played in Q21 but did not play in Lupu 499.

Firefox can also save youtube files that way. You look into root/tmp and when all is downloaded make a copy of it to your home partition so it doesn't go away.

Then rename it to one name like DizzyMisslizzyLarryWilliams.mp4 and quirky can play it off line. YT maybe do't like it and plug the ability sooner or later.

But you guys already knows this

I am a Johnny come lately I guess

OK, there is a way to bypass the locked file problem in Windows 7 by using an app called YouTube Downloader, but there are still issues with that app: there's no way to download 1080p (Full HD) videos and no option for downloading normal quality (480p) videos. When you download an SD video with the app,it downloads the crappy 360p version.

So, a Puppy Live CD is still useful even if you use Windows 7 as your main OS

Few days ago I posted a change to youtube.sh and now it looks like it really works. I tested it several times and running fine.

My work now is working

this one i guess http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 630#409630
failed but with this mod as well it works on my unusual wifi proxy internet connection

Code: Select all

wget -4 -O - -t 7 -w 5 --waitretry=14 --random-wait '--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0' -e robots=off $url > $filename

just add -4 to the wget line.

edit: worked for 1 file but failed the next try on the train and lobster1 links as posted before-above.
edit; worked 1 time only then failed on the one it previously succeeded on downloading the first time.

I forward this from Quirky 1.1 bug report.

By panzerpuppy,

You2Pup downloads the 480p version of any YouTube video (link) you drag into the URL box.

Attaching a '&fmt=xx' string after the URL will not override You2Pup's 'hardcoded' 480p download.

If you want higher or lower quality videos, you'll have to edit the script manually.

NOTE: if you change the fmt value to 22 or 37 in the download script to download HD videos, you won't be able to download 80% of the YouTube videos out there. Most videos are still in 360p or 480p format.

Someone needs to edit that script and add a quality selection box that changes (overrides) the fmt value for that session only.

fmt=18 for 480p
fmt=22 for 720p
fmt=37 for 1080p
and fmt=?? for 360p

We need to make You2Pup as good as (or even better better than) the 'YouTube Video Downloader' for Windows. It's a sad thing to see that it's much easier to do stuff under Windows.

Can someone please mirror synth's you2pup elsewhere. I have forgotten my password on stashbox and stashbox's hint+reset system does not work. Thanks.
