I have both of those in my catalog, same errors as before.

Maybe I'll try to catch you on IRC later tonight since I don't care for derailing threads like this.

Okay. So I found the needed .deb here.

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../1.0.3-1osso2/

I have such super happy giggles!

All I now have to do is copy a youtube link from the web browser then tap on my shortcut icon.

Boom.

Just one more thing with this.

I can't delete any of the videos after I've downloaded them for some reason.

I'm getting a read-only Videos error.

Am I do anything wrong here?

Try deleting them through xterm as root maybe?

cd /media/mmc1/Videos
sudo rm [filename]

Well, I'm not quite sure if I have all of the permissions and owners correct on this, but here it is.

Videos.zip

Download and unzip to /media/mmc1/

Open up the install note file, select all, then paste that into X-term.

Create a new shortcut in Personal Launcher or Personal Menu.

The command to execute is simply...

y

Now, when browsing online, highlight the complete URL for a YouTube video, then select copy in your web browser.

After this, tap on your shortcut or type y into Xterm.

Because this doesn't add .part to the end of the video file while it's downloading, you should be able to play it almost right away.

They get stored in the Videos folder.

Let me know if I goofed on anything.

Cheers.

Cool. I'll have to give it a try and let you know how it works out for me.

I found out about URLSnooper 2 for Windows last night.

It's awesome.

Almost any streaming video, it will find the file so you can download the video directly instead of having to watch it on a web page.

Simply copy the URL.

How can I download the file in Xterm if it's not a YouTube vid?

Also, I would like to have the -nopart option as well so I can play it while it continues to download.

I know I could just paste the link in Microb, but I'm looking for something a little less messy.

Hopefully something similar to that y script I posted the other day.

The youtube-dl script supports sites besides youtube. Problem is that it must have code to handle every site it supports and some sites like to change their hashes every week to break downloaders.

Read the authors section at http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/about.html for a list of supported sites.

http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ -- if you have perl on your tablet you can try this script, it might support sites not supported by youtube-dl but you'll have to go look.

Thanks!!!!

What about sites like Megaupload?

That site usually makes you wait up to 45 seconds before the download begins.

Would that youtube-dl-x time out during the wait?

Addison | # 450 | 2011-12-21, 01:14 | Report

Sorry.

I didn't realize that I can simply close the download progress window then close out Microb and that the file will still continue to download.
