youtube downloader

hey /prog/ i wanna download youtube movies with a bookmark, i know there's hundreds of sites out there that do this for you... but i want to automate part of the archiving so i feel a custom solution is in order. anyhoo

i installed apache2 and php5-curl (i know there's probably something better i could use) but i'm having some trouble finding the url of the .flv i need to download. i tried to find some example code, and i found something that works but it's OBFUSTCATED

http://deturl.com/download-video.js

does anyone know how to extract the url for the best quality FLV from a youtube url? if not, should we crack deturl's?

userscripts.org

There is a python script that will handle the downloading and saving for you http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/

Quickest route would be to write a bookmarklet that saves the URLs to a db to be passed it into a queue to be processed by youtube-dl later.

well, turns out it wasn't so hard...


wget -O test http://www.youtube.com/etc...
wget -O test.flv $(grep "fullscreen" test | tr '[:blank:]' '\n' | grep 'videoplayback?sparams' | cut -f 2 -d '"' | tr ',|' '\n ' | sort -n | tail -n 1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | tr -d '\\')

This isn't normal. But on UNIX it is.
