GTKplayYT
GTKplayYT3 (v3.0.0) is now up on github! (under the GTKplayYT3 branch, not the main one)
you can also find it in the releases section! here
The scripts now self-locate! (aka its now portable!)
note about portability: the directory "/root" or any sub-directory thereof, may cause problems with GTKplayYT3 if it is installed there.
i have attached the v3,0.0 .pet below
-main menu script (chooserYT3.sh) (so anyone who wants a desktop entry (i.e. convenience, making packages) only needs to write one instead of five)
find me on GtiHub: https://github.com/ThomasTheSpaceFox
you can find the .PET(currently also attached below) and the source code inthis repository
also see the new wiki: https://github.com/ThomasTheSpaceFox/GTKplayYT/wiki
set of bash scripts that use gtkdialog and mplayer to act as a shell for youtube-dl
playYT2.sh can help older pups play youtube videos.
-Youtube Format codes can be used (at least with mplayer)
getYT2.sh is useful for downloading youtube videos on many pups
-(Youtube Format codes can be used)
audioYT2.sh works great for playing youtube videos as 128k & 256k m4a audio
-Lightweight:
playYT2.sh and audioYT2.sh cache the full video/audio file before playback. minimizing CPU and memory usage.
-pick your media player:
both audioYT2.sh and playYT2.sh let you choose the media player to use.
-send more options: users can send extra options to the chosen media player and youtube-dl just as they would from the command line right from the script's dialog.
small: minimal file size.
requires gtkdialog, youtube-dl (mplayer is recommended for convenience because mplayer is the default in both playback scripts)
TIP Type youtube-dl -F [youtube-Video-url] to get a list of available format codes for a video
Wikipedia has a nice chart of youtube format codes:

GTKplayYT a script for playing youtube videos on older pups
audioYT3.sh is a modified playYT3.sh.
whats the difference?
audioYT3.sh is reprogrammed to play only audio for when you are only interested in the audio EX: music, talk show, news, radio show /podcast ported to youtube, you get the idea.
what formats?
the default is 128k m4a but you can also use 256k m4a the dialog explains how to set this.
IMPORTANT NOTE: when using mplayer with audioYT3.sh LET IT FINISH PLAYBACK!
TIP: you can skip forward with [Page Up] pressing it usually skips to the end of the video press again if necessary.
the problem is if you close the terminal that appears when you run audioYT3.sh, it closes the script and the cache file doesn't get deleted. it needs to be because if the pre-programmed cache file isn't deleted youtube-dl will "think" its the same video and the video that is in that cache file will play over again.
to fix this just run the script again as usual (enter any youtube video url) the previous video will play. let it play through. and the cache file will be deleted and the script will play properly the next time it's run.

Haven't spent enough time with it to know all the details but, they appear to be functioning properly aboard 528.
Folks, for the youtube-dl binary, you grab the 940k, "youtube-dl" item here.
Place it somewhere on your path, then rt-clk and make executable.
If you already have a copy, it's: youtube-dl --update
*ACTUAL SS URL.

Nice job Mr.Leathers.

GTKgetYT works great on Sulu2 (5.2.8.7-June2015).
I guess audio & play scripts will do the trick, too.
Thanks!

Good job mate. I'd help you but everytime I see a gtkdialog dialog, I just don't know what to do, it's just another world.
Being a bash purist, I use YAD, simple and well done dialogs, that's how I can create a script of 500 lines easily, everything makes sense and I can go on and on.
Other than that, I came here to cheer you up yay

yea playYT2.sh (version 2.3.2) is only 102 lines while getYT2.sh is only 92.
gtkdialog is a little complicated to learn. (i learned what i know now programming the dialogs for GTKplayYT. over the course of a week.
there is still a lot i need to learn. and i want to know how to do things like change the window title and icon. I learned what i know in BASH, gtkdialog, lua, HTML and so on, in practice.
recently i started my first Minetest mod. nothing fancy, just some decorative nodes that don't even have crafting recipes.
you can find it and anything else I'm working on, Including GTKplayYT, at my GitHub: https://github.com/ThomasTheSpaceFox
i figured i needed a GitHub after realizing i had 2 active projects, in 2 different areas, on 2 different computers, and in 2 different programming languages.
oh sorry, monologing

I'm sorry if I offended you, it's just that I've been programming in bash for 2 years, and I never touched gtkdialog, it always looked weird in a bash script. I always thought YAD was the best for beginners.
You treat YAD the same way you treat other programs, once you learn how to use it, you don't need XLM templates, just a few command line options to fine tune your dialog.
You store YAD's output in a variable and process it, you can specify an exit code for a specific button and then
process according to that exit code... it's very limited compared to gtkdialog, but it's worth it... because you now know how to work with every other program's output and exit codes....
I'm currently the only one following your project on github.

i could just rebuild the .PET with "defaultmediaplayer" as the entry for the script's default setting for the media player.BarryK wrote:In all pups, you should use "defaultmediaplayer", not mplayer.
Then there is no need to choose a media player.
its as easy as going into the new settings menu, and changing the setting for the default media player to "defaultmediaplayer"
UPDATE: updated the .PET "defaultmediaplayer" should be the default setting for the media player by default.
Thank you for posting this.
Finally decided to remove Flash after yet another public security warning. Playing HTML5 video however takes up so much resources on my computer that the controls become unresponsive and my browser almost freezes.
This is the perfect solution for me.
Easy, fast, smooth, great.
