It's simpler and faster to use this method.

What was that all about. Site page seems to not exist on that site anymore.

How does one find it on some other site?

Could this be the same?

Im using 1.3-2 right now.
I called my save folder vids and my files are all one word names and I think that must be why they are downloading alright.
They play in gxine without error.
I tried some two word names with a space in and they wouldn't download at all.
Anyway its an easy way to catch a utube file and watch it when I want so I am well pleased.

You are right. I tried your way and it worked.

Many thanks for the solution.

Yes, It worked....hmmm strange...as for the naming of file...yes it should be one word name, but that's not why it won't work last time (It's is always like that from the first time I made you2pup)...well, good now it's working again (downloading a video now)

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.

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 :)
