Nothing special really, I packaged youtube-dl and it should be available in the repos soon.

youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from
YouTube.com and other sites that don't provide direct links to the
videos served.

youtube-dl allows the user, among other things, to choose a specific
video quality to download (if available) or let the program
automatically determine the best quality video to grab. It supports
downloading entire playlists and all videos from a given user.

Currently supported sites are video.google.com, youtube, photobucket, dailymotion, and metacafe.
However, I'd like to point out PaulFertser's script, which streams videos from youtube and plays them with mplayer

/usr/bin/ytstream:
Code:
mplayer -cache 2048 "`youtube-dl -f 18 -g $1`"
chmod +x it, then ytstream youtubelinkhere

I came prepared and added a bugtracker link, so I might push it to -testing straight away, since it's a very simple script :P

I'm using gPodder to download and view YouTube channels. Some might find that option interesting.
