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.

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.

trio,
When all attempts to download a video by using all other ways failed I tried your You2pup and it has done the job without any problem.
Many thanks!

Leon,
You are welcome. Users like you, make devs feel happy. Puppy is free, but the efforts cost devs time and energy, sometimes personal values. But it's all worth the effort when puppy users are happy. My time is very limited now, that's why my lastest release (wbarcc) has a big time gap with the last one before it. But I never really leave puppym
Cheers

Hello: I've tried several times the You2pup that comes with the last Puppy Linux (v. 4.3.1). Its version is 1.3-1. The terminal opens but after 2 or 3 lines closes (it doesn't do all shown in rxvt.jpg, image of first page of this post). It creates .mp4 files of 88 B that don't work. The videos I've tried don't start with dash, so I shouldn't need the last version, 1.3-2. Or do I? Does 1.3-2 have more improvements apart from the dash issue? Thanks

Thank you, abushcrafter. I've upgraded to v.1.3-2 with same results. More info: if I click on the 88 B mp4 files that create gxine 0.5.9 opens with a message that says: "Error from the xine engine. The xine engine failed to start. No demuxer found - stream format not recognized".
