Tony,

Well, I am using 430 beta and all functions works. But, it may fail if the puppy you use doesn't have the codec needed. Try puppy package manager to look for ffmpeg codec or google it.

Cheers

Hi trio !
On Acer Aspire One it connects to the URL, tries to locate the video file, and then, nothing happens.

eztuxer,

i don't think there's a problem with you2pup or the type of computer you are using matters, if it opens rxvt then it should be good, but:

1. Few youtube's URL can't be downloaded (I had one URL that can't be downloaded, dunno why, URL spesific), try other URLs, and see if they work
2. Internet connection is also a main issue

I am not in puppy right now, but you2pup uses youtube.sh as the engine ( I think it uses wget in its process), so you might also want to check your wget function and curl function

Regards

Hi trio,

This puppy thread helped regarding missing libraries :-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43455

ffmpeg as loaded for the pup4 package manager does not contain all required library files.

I have one dependency to go libx264.so.60

All this has been a bit of a nightmare really.

Regards Tony.

Tony,

Which pup are you using anyway? Why don't you download 430 betaw (or soon beta2) as puppy is so easy to install in minutes.

Yeah, ffmpeg is a pin in the ass if not complete, I think 4.2.1 is also not complete (in my experience)

Hi trio,

used pup 4.2.1 with 2.6.25.16 kernel.

I got all dependences sorted but crashed out with GLIBC_2.7 not found.

So back to the drawing board.

Regards Tony.

HI trio,

I downloaded and installed puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.25.16-r4.3.iso.

It ran you2pup and converted to DVD no trouble at all.

Regards Tony. (on Dell Inspiron5150)

Tony,

Yup, they're all there in 430 beta. Glad it worked for you

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!

@jayargen

yeah, linux doesn't like spaces in any file names. and you are welcome
