It works if there are no spaces in file name. It also adds ".mp4" to the file name when that format is not used for some quality's.

Thanks abushcrafter for replying.

The problem of spaces in filenames is not new. I made my own you2pup and there is a message for that.
I don't know how to change the script, so that the right file format is written.
Most of the time you can download mp4. If I change the ending to flv the 3gpp files are not right. Hmm. Hope somebody can help.

Take care

Bingo! :D. I have fixed the file names with spaces issue :P. Here is how:
  1. Open the file: "/usr/sbin/youtube.sh".
  2. On line 68.
  3. Put the variable "$filename" in quotes. I used double quotes.
Like so:

Code: Select all

wget -O - -t 7 -w 5 --waitretry=14 --random-wait '--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0' -e robots=off $url > "$filename"
Another issue is that Gxine in 431/2v3 can't play quality 34(...and some others.). However this the build of mplayer can: Puppy Linux Discussion Forum :: View topic - Mplayer with Multi-core support (09/2009) + gnome frontend. On some quality settings "Mplayer with Multi-core support (09/2009)" can't play them too but MPlayer-1.0rc2 + mencoder Feb 2008 can.

Thanks for making this possible. I'm happy to have a real youtube downloader with these options.

Sorry, but your menu entry is not right. You'll have to rename the pic or the icon in youtube.desktop. The rest is working great!!

What do you think of using ffconvert to convert the files? I'm using it but not happy with my text to it. Or just making a button like "convert with ffconvert".

Greets and take care

In this version I have fixed Licensing so I think it is now properly legal and tided up comments at the beginning of the scripts. I have also updated the version numbers in the GUI.

Hi,

I've been following this thread as a guest for about a year now as I like to use you2pup and occasionally it stops working.

I don't seem to be able to get you2pup working today. I have upgraded from v1.4 to 1.4.4 but still no luck. Has anything changed at youtube again does anyone know?

Thanks.

just copy from /tmp

#117 Post by CGP »

Here I expand a little on panzerpuppy's solution.

(I post this because it took me a little time to figure out that the video file is in .flv format and because Windows Media Player 9 will not play .flv files)

The following works fine and obviates the need for you2pup on Puppy 4.3.1.

Using Seamonkey1.1.18, start playing the Youtube video you want to download. Pause it. Wait until the entire video is buffered. You don't need to play even a moment of it. Or, if you want, you can watch some or all of it. Then

Go into /tmp. Rename the file 'Flash...' to, for example 'GreatVideo.flv'. Copy that file out to a computer running Windows.

Play the video using Adobe Media Player 1.8.

That is all. Works great as of Aug 12, 2010.

if it is the same as opera, the 'Flash...' files will play in gnomeplayer in quirky.

youtube downloader 1.3.2 on lupu5.10

#121 Post by kostas801 »

I tried this you2pup-1.3.2.pet on lupu 5.10 linux
but it does not work.
It opens the console window, it finds the youtube.com site,
it locates the file and then the console window closes
and the result is a file of 88kb size (empty film)

any ideas about the problem

Don't get bored with a GUI...

open the youtube page with the video and wait till it's fully downloaded,

go to /tmp (works the same in Chrome too), you'll find the video (Flash*),

if you want to save some disk space do:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i Flash[press TAB for name completition] Video.mp4
to get an mp4 movie you can play with almost any player.

perhaps someone can make a one click gui that does just this? or then also plays the file.

Aarf thanks for describing this. I bought a SonyEricson recently. Android thing. So I need such tips on how to get music on it easily from Youtube.

When I do it over Wireless from Dlink router then the music has glitches and hack in it. While using Puppy has no such disruptions.

Now I only need to find a good Directory to put it in on the phone.

Support on SE told me one need to create such a Dir and they told me how but now I forgot how one do it so I fail to tell others how to.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
