Hi memo, looking at your output it says:

Code: Select all

[ffmpeg] Merging formats into "Akon - Right Now (Na Na Na) (Official Video)-vIaH35-MLsk.mkv"

So you have in /root the video ending with .mkv , right ?
Then to play with mpv should be:

Code: Select all

mpv "/root/Akon - Right Now (Na Na Na) (Official Video)-vIaH35-MLsk.mkv"

Also... now you have a recent youtube-dl in root, to make it work system wide replace the old one on the system, first check where it is:

Code: Select all

which youtube-dl 

Then copy (and overwrite) the one you have in /root to there.
Again, check version if its from 2020:

Code: Select all

youtube-dl --version

EDIT: How things are handled by youtube-dl depends probably on the ffmpeg version you have (in Xenialpup probably rather old), that could be why enrique has .mp4 video and you .mkv

Hi Fred, I applied your code. However it does work and the video appears, however I want it to work automatically with youtube viewer or smtube so I donot need to download the video every time.


EDIT: I moved it manually to two places one in user/bin the other user/local/bin. I have also deleted the older version. Now smtube works using mpv+youtube_dl.

is there a pet for newer version of ffmpeg ? mine is;

Code: Select all

I also search for the latest version of gtk3_youtube_viewer for xenialpup 32 bit, is available for my system , the one I found so far is for 64 bit.
