My method uses a simple ~/.bashrc alias & a tiny little script, that you need to put in the root of your ~/ directory; /usr/bin or in another directory that is in your system's search path like perhaps ~/scripts. You just type dv at the CLI prompt, & it calls the following tiny little script (which gives the alias that I use in its comment section), I call the script dl-youtube though it lives in my ~/scripts directory, so it doesn't confuse me that the name is similar - not the same. You can call it whatever you want (same goes for the alias) :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
# I run this from ~/.bashrc with the following alias:
# alias dv="sh ./dl-youtube"
# Use the ~/.config/youtube-dl/config set your default download path. 

echo Please, Enter a URL
read URL
/usr/bin/youtube-dl --prefer-free-formats $URL

After typing in "dv" you are presented with Please, Enter a URL as follows:

Code: Select all

 [handy@madmx ~]$ dv
Please, Enter a URL

Then you can use either the keyboard combination of Ctrl v , OR, you can use the RMB menu of whatever Terminal program you use to past in the URL that you have (usually) copied from your browser's address field. Then hit the Enter key & in most cases your video will download, though, unfortunately, some vid's are locked in a way that prevents youtube-dl (& similar) from being able to download them.

I have used both youtube.dl and clipgrab. I prefer clipgrab. It has a nice and clear interface.

I used Youtube-dl initially but then I found Clipgrab with its wonderful graphical interface is my favorite.

I use 1-click youtube video downloader with Waterfox. Surf and download I find this to be the fastest easiest way, as I download a lot of videos on i3 and related stuff at 720p. Good speed 3 to 5 mbs
Now and then Youtube-dl

I like just typing in dv then pasting the URL; hitting enter & checking out my vids-tmp directory later when I want to view the file. :)

Each to their own eh!

youtube-dl url -f 136+140
136 = video file usually 720p file and 140 = best audio (135=480p video and 137=1080p video and i havent yet seen a youtube link where it is not like that). Any ways, youtube-dl merges the video and the audio you give to the "-f" using ffmpeg(i think). if you straight away give youtube-dl a youtube link it downloads the best video which may be a 1080p or higher resolution video and the file size will be huge. you can also download the video, then the audio and merge them using ffmpeg but this just does that.

I use it mostly if I want to download playlists of movies and the like. Plus I always download in 720p. I like your script will use it in the future and add -f 136+140

Thanks for your post nice info

Thanks for that youtube link KoO, it is a great intro' to youtube-dl. Good info' about the size difference between 720p & 1080p too. :) Luke Smith is a good presenter.
