Hmm... updated the old version of You2pup that was included with my 4.3.1 setup to 2.1.1, and it seemed to be working properly - but the rxvt window disappears after I've selected the download resolution/filetype. Sad

YouTube hasn't changed things again, have they?

Still works,

Try again? or post the video u want to downlad? Check your connection?

I think it may be the length (time?) of the video - I've tried a few smaller videos (commercials, etc.), and all of those worked. The one I tried first just caused rxvt to evaporate no matter what resolution/format I picked (I also tried it again after having no problems with the 'smaller' videos, and it didn't work), but it's more or less a 10 to 15-minute video (from a cartoon, Spliced!.)

Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEFJvjYR3ks

I didn't try it with any of the other 10-15-minute clips. Could RAM limitations on my system have something to do with it? I do only have 128MB of RAM (640MB of swapfile space, though). I doubt it's the hard drive space - otherwise, I might have had a chance with the 320x and 640x resolutions... maybe.

aaah found out why ....

the problem is the title, it contains "/" ..
"Spliced! Sugar Low / 27th Annual Blargey Parble"

will try to deal with it, when I have time

Version 2.1.3 - Fixes if there's "/" in title, 2 versions available, for general puppies and for lupu520/wary (with urxvt embed option) - thanks Makoto

Bleah. I should have wondered if there might have been something involving the file-creation routines, as well. (No, really. It's reasonable to assume the download file's being created right after you select the resolution and download type, so if it stopped for me, there...)

Thanks! Smile

It works in Quirky 1.2.0 NOP but for one small problem, it won't open the download folder, I've tried replacing the reference to rox with thunar but still no joy, i assume that the func script in /usr/local/you2pup is the one that does this, or I'm I wrong?

Wrong, later you2pup is at /usr/sbin/you2pup

Hi Trio!
I'm having the same issue as Makoto.
I use Wary 5 and tried all the pet versions of you2pup in this post but none worked. My rxvt window closes after selecting the video type.

I have came to the conclusion that web browser addons are far better.
Some Firefox ones:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-downl-10137/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-caption-downloader/

I tried one of these and surprisingly it took several from USA but almost none from Sweden.

My extreme wild guess that it can be due to some protection of copyrights. We often get messages that some videos are not allowed to play at all due to them having music not copyrighted for Sweden.

Here it seems to be something opposite. A Swede not allowed to copy a Swedish copyrighted material from youtube.

The workaround for me was to go back many many versions of Snowpup from snow 15 to snow 5 and use the totally manual approach to take the flash file from teh Root/tmp where it is until one take another clip when it sometimes get deleted and sometimes are there until one shut down the browser I use FF.

Sometimes one have to go to Root/.mozilla/firefox/cashe/xxxxxxx some random number and then look for it there. Some files does not show up anywhere at all???

Which of all the many addons are best then. They are so many to chose among.
