For anyone interested I use an app called clipgrab which is a single appimage - easy to use works with youtube and dailymotion.

Recent Youtube changes broke gtk-youtube-viewer (maybe other clients). It was forked to "gtk straw viewer" and works again. Well here and for now at least.. https://github.com/trizen/straw-viewer

Using a youtube client avoids heavyweight browser loading, ads, tracking... This one is quite light on deps and system resources but has a very good descriptive gui. No qt deps. Probably needs latest youtube-dl to run properly https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

I posted (probably the only) deb package: http://exegnulinux.net/apt/pool/main/s/straw-viewer/

Sources, dsc et al are at the same url if anyone wants to inspect, compile or modify yourself. If interested, please post back if you see anything wrong with the package.

EDIT: youtube-dl (and anything else that uses it) will puke unless you update it quite often.

Slightly beside the point, but, I use youtube.dll as the download-manager of SMPlayer/SMTube; that couple works fine for me.

Cheers,

Not my language, but I guess "orden" is for the command to execute, and then that is where the full pathname to the program should be. The next field, "directario de trabajo", is probably the working directory, and I would suggest you pinpoint one of your own directories there.

It never works. Most of the icon/applications that are coming with Devuan can be adding to xfce panel but not all of them and if you install something (not from synaptic) most the time is a big problem. They are not at the menu neither ...

i was trying this:

I created a launcher, then i was looking for the GUI:

keos@kaos:~$ whereis youtube-dl-gui
youtube-dl-gui: /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl-gui

And:

Nothing happen ...

But thanks for answer my question..

I'm not zephyr but . . . right click on the panel then "Add new items". "Launcher" is the first option on the list here. There might also be an option to do the in the youtube-dl GUI.

@ alphalpha: Very cool YT-dl, quick and easy too!

it should also automatically be added to your /usr/local/bin
so you can just type youtube-dl-gui in the terminal to start it

Running Openbox, added

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl-gui

...to obmenu!

Ops checked and works as advertised!

Created a launcher for the tint2 bottom

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Youtube-dl
Comment=Search,download and play YouTube videos with MPlayer.
Exec=/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl-gui
Icon=/usr/local/bin/images/youtube.png
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Thanks!

cheers

of course a .zip file is not a .deb file....
you need to build it yourself

first make sure you have the dependencies:
Python 2.7.3+
wxPython 3
TwoDict
GNU gettext (to build the package)
FFmpeg (optional, to post process video files)

that would be:

sudo apt-get install python python-wxgtk3.0 gettext ffmpeg git

TwoDict is not available in the Repository so you need to complie that too

git clone https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/twodict.git
cd twodict
sudo python setup.py install

now you have all the dependencies and can build youtube-dl-gui like this:

git clone https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui.git
cd youtube-dl-gui
sudo python setup.py install

now you can run it with

./build/scripts-2.7/youtube-dl-gui

it should also automatically be added to your /usr/local/bin
so you can just type youtube-dl-gui in the terminal to start it

I have tried many times this option with gdebi but every time i got the same error message:

youtube-dl-gui-master.zip is not a debian package.

MIME file is an application/zip and can't be installed in this system.
