Some of you already use youtube-dl on the N900. As pymp is just a frontend, the most credit goes to the makes of youtube-dl and mplayer and lame and...

Pymp is the frontend for and based on the script youtube-dl. youtube-dl is a downloader for videos from certain sites (youtube.com, google video, yahoo video ...). Therefor it is not specialized on one. This program only relies on the availability of the video host. Which is much better than that of the conversion sites which also dont really function with mobile browsers.
For N900 cutting and normalizing the audio is only available if normalize and sox would be available.
Pymp needs python (pyqt), mplayer and lame installed.

Pymp is more intended for desktop computers but can also run on the N900. But it is recommend to keep the number of simultaneous downloads and conversions low.

The simple usage would be like:
Add some URLs into pymp. Start downloading. Watch the movies.

Features
  • Video download (many simultaneous)
  • mp3 conversion (many simultaneous)
  • Loading/saving of download lists
  • Starting mplayer to play the just downloaded files
  • Update youtube-dl as some webpage sometimes change their style and youtube-dl needs to adjust to it.

Not much, but enough to make me happy .

Resources

Pymp is currently available through extras-devel (search for extras-devel warnings before activating it).

Pymp builds on maemo.org
Pymp download page here you can get a *.deb or *tar.gz. The *tar.gz needs to be extracted on the PC (as long as it fails on the N900) and then the directory can be copied to the N900.
