Thanks, mikeb, I'm using this Firefox add on:
http://www.downloadhelper.net/welcome.php?version=4.6.2
It's been updated to the new format, and even offers the choice between different resolution for MP4 HQ18, HQ22, HQ35. or .flv
This might be the reason You2pup gets confused if it looks for any .MP4 file, it finds more than one, and gives up.

Etuxer;
For a very simple way to save your guitar lessons try this;

Hi Trio,
Just wanted to let you know that I got You2pup 1.3-1 working in Upup 476 after I discovered that the script does not seem to like spaces in the new filename you specify. I saw at least two different errors in terminal possibly related to the number of spaces or the length of the filename.
Thanks for the nice app!

eztuxer,
I tried the youtube video provided in the link you gave. It downloads OK! so, it must be your internet connection.

@trio: Could you add an option for downloading higher quality videos - HQ and HD (by appending extra strings to the URL)?
Also, an option to select between FLV and MP4 would be great

The slow connexion is a drag.
Thanks anyway.

How would a slow connection affect downloading...I've done this stuff on dial up?
curious

No, I don't think I will make any changes soon, I already provide you2pup with convert function (which you can choose variable formats, including audio), one of which is to flv format
eztuxer & mikeb
What I meant was, eztuxer maybe only have to be a little bit patient and wait longer with your slow connection
I find it useful.. Thanks.

These small GUIs should come as standard - keep up the good work.

Hi, I love the idea of this app but when I run it I get "Finding hostname" for ages then "Cannot connect to remote host ...".
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but would love to get this program running.
Any help much appreciated.

Bug: if the vid ID begins with a dash, it won't download. (e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=-sulDYYAiCU)
Cool & useful app otherwise, thanks.

Bug: if the vid ID begins with a dash, it won't download. (e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=-sulDYYAiCU)
The '-sulDYYAiCU' is being mistaken for an option by 'getopts' in the script /usr/sbin/youtube.sh.
In the Puppy 4.3.1 I'm using this can be stopped by adding '--' to a line in another script, /usr/local/you2pup/func.
The '--' tells 'getopts' that the end of the options has been reached so that any '-' after that is treated as a literal character instead of the start of another option.
Code: Select all
# In /usr/local/you2pup/func
# Original line:
exec rxvt -title "$@" -e youtube.sh -f "$DIRECTORY"/"$FILE" "$VIDEO"
# Modified line:
exec rxvt -title "$@" -e youtube.sh -f "$DIRECTORY"/"$FILE" -- "$VIDEO"

Glad you like it. Puppy is for young and old I guess
Trio,
Nifty app, but I'm trying it, and I get an "ambiguous redirect" msg. Solution?
I'm running Puppy 3.01 Retro on an old Compaq laptop.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I can't help if you don't give detail about "ambiguous redirect" msg. I don't understand. I use this app on regular basis, and never have problem.
regards, trio

It's after I paste in the video url and hit download...then a terminal window opens displaying some information ending with "ambiguous redirect" and the terminal then closes before I can copy the entire text.
Does this help?
Thanks.
