Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello Everyone,

I happened to have seen a Puppy version with a Youtube Downloader, I think its called Browser Linux... but is there a loose .pet package containing this application? And can someone give me the link?

I have tried searching this forum, but can't find it... maybe someone else can?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Kirsten

Well, there's You2pup:

You2pup-2.1.4 - YouTube multi format video downloader

...but I'm not sure whether or not that's working, at the moment (since YouTube just changed things around yet again).

If you're simply looking to download the videos, and using Firefox or Seamonkey, you might try one of the video-downloading extensions like UnPlug, or a site like Keepvid.
(Opera has at least one YouTube-downloading widget, but I haven't tried any of them. Not sure what Chrome/Iron/Chromium might have.)

Kirsten, what video downloader does BrowserLinux use? Is it the YouTube Downloader add-on to Chrome?

If you use Chome, there are two very nice youtube downloaders. I like fastesttube.

I use the Firefox add-on = "Easy YouTube Video Downloader v5.7".

go to youtube and find your video. Click play then click pause. Wait for the video to download.

Then go to /tmp . There you will see a flash file . It will have a randomn name but this is the video. Rename it and move it whereever you want if you want to keep it. Puppy can play flash (.flv) videos.

No downloader required.

Yeah, but my question is to know which downloader comes by default on BrowserLinux, without actually needing to add anything.

P.S.: Though I understand that the OP could be interested in an add-on.

I figured there was a decent chance that BrowserLinux was packaged with You2pup.

I had the need yesterday to download some videos from youtube. I am running Racy 5.2.2.

I tried the latest You2pup, but it does not work.

That's why You2pup is not included in Wary and Racy 5.2.2. Probably Slacko has left it out also.

However, in SeaMonkey, choose Tools -> Add-on Manager and do a search for "youtube". There are a few downloaders to choose from.

I installed "Download Youtube Videos as MP4 and FLV" addon. Works great.

Yeah, there do seem to be quite a few extensions (for downloading and converting YouTube videos) for both Seamonkey and Firefox. I'm not sure why other browsers usually only seem to get two or three choices on average for this type of extension, add-on or plugin, though (not counting external sites like keepvid). Neutral

Somebody very structured should look into all this.
And pardon me if I am totally wrong now but does not
youtube say them have two formats on their clips.

one is flash and can be downloaded as you guys have described
but the other format can not?

I remember vaguely that there where one
or several scripts that allow one to find where
the flash ended up among the 16 different Dirs
in Cache. Way back in the old FireFox one could
find it in Tmp or in Cache a single directory.

But not now. One need to use old FF 3.6.24 something for that.
Here is the link to the one I guess Barry talked about?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-youtube/

I have installed it but not tested it yet

I'd prefer just downloading the video as-is and then later converting if necessary for whatever I want to do with it (rather than have the plugin or extension convert it for me from the original FLV, MP4, or whatever). That way, I can change or experiment with the conversion settings, if I want, and go back to the source, if necessary.

With the plugin or extension converting for you, you can't completely guarantee the end result will be how you might prefer.

There's the Flashgot extension for both Firefox and SeaMonkey. For Opera there's the Fastest Tube extension, and there's a similar extension for Chrome. You can also try video.online-convert.com and convertfiles.com. I'd post links but I'm on my mobile phone
