Full install - how much RAM?

How much RAM does a full install of Wary 5.5 use? Does it still start things like cupsd and ROX-filer at startup?

How does the gtk viewer deal with the new youtube DASH video format, which requires downloading separate video and audio (at least with youtube-dl)? I read that only very recent mplayer can reassemble and play them together. You get a choice of three audio qualities and DASH video resolutions. The 480p regular mp4 is no longer available at youtube. A lot of people are annoyed at youtube for constantly changing things.

Youtube is intent on leading its customers by the nose towards a point of no return where YT will be able to fully control (and charge for) access to content.

Since they didn't own that content prior to it being uploaded to YT it is time to stop adding such content to YT, and find / make an alternative.

Till then, it will continue to be a moving target that moves gradually away from any open source philosophy and further towards an "App Store" type of approach.

Hey PhilB, does yours still load mplayer when videos are dbl-clked?

I see 3.0.9's out. Is there a code line that can be adjusted or, will you update any of the offerings on your opening post?

If need be, I'm sure the Wheezy pkg would work with Lucid..

Danks.

+Config folder, done. Still, some do, some don't. I suspect YT's :roll: @ it again.

One I've had trouble with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMHfVJ0NLCQ

Hey, not overly important @ the moment, so, not to worry..

ok tested it...youtube download button gets nothing and movgrab says only webm available and fails to download. Also one of those that my older flashplayer will not play...i assume for the same reasons gtk-youtube-viewer will not work. Indeed not all content on you tube is the same and its amazing how possessive sites get of content they got for free... :D

edit not sure if relevant but link was to googlevideo.com.....

Hey Mike, this *still* works >> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... d-youtube/

Yeah, Movegrab I'm aware of. As for this, I have yet to try the 3.0.9 build. :arrow: Ditto on the content..

ah ha lol...you just reminded me to check...i still have version 1.5.3 on here...that may explain a lot.... :D

Ok guess its time to update it....

The way you tube obfuscate the url now is enough to make you go cross-eyed so I leave others to do it :)

movgrab sees only webm format

movgrab, when I ask for the flv, often tells me only webm is available, but if I keep trying
eventually downloads the 3gp for me. If it says wait 20 sec to retry, quit and start over.
Does the latest version download flv when asked to?

Cli program (w/backgrounding) that can, it's doc, and a brief example:

Code: Select all

youtube-dl -f 18 -o - 'youtube_url' > /destination_directory/output_file.ext
If "-U" fails, wget or "save target as" the 2014.02.24 binary >> md5=97baf61ea2c516052a99876d97bf975c

Hmm updated addon still failing..odd

But youtube-dl grabs it no problem.

Which vid Mike? Maybe spoof your user agent?

Posted: Tue 25 Feb 2014, 10:37

This one...been using as a test for several methods.

user agent...hmmm will try that...

My only thoughts otherwise was that a particular combination of characters confuses some methods...had that problem with the dropbox and url encoding solved it in that case.

Mine, 27.0.1 works for that. You run an older Fox.. which?

3.6..... though I did get the latest version of the addon working on it ;) .... it may be using a function that does not exist on the older version I assume though is fine for others still. movgrab behaves the same and no sign of a newer version when I last looked.

I find javascript semi incomprehensible plus the code obfustication used by you tube is confusing in itself so not something I am equipped to debug much further.

youtube-dl ...I have a python sfs thats just a few megs and it is a well behaved downloader.

When flashvideoreplacer stopped I looked at using the code from mp4 downloader to keep it working but found it too much for my tiny mind.

Just keeping abreast of the options for handling you tube really.

Yeah, probably somewhat sketchy on the dated browser.

That the add-on works with recent builds and youtube-dl in general.. should be enough for the moment.
