request a new package youtube-dl-gui

[Yousuf 'Jay' Philips]

I would like to ask that youtube-dl-gui found at < https://github.com/keelerm84/youtube-dl-gui > be added to getdeb.net as its a gui frontend for the commandline youtube-dl application.

Was also looking for the pytube package that use to be on getdeb.net but cant find it anymore.

Seems the application does not work with the latest version of youtube-dl

I am the one who submitted the issue you referenced, but as stated in it, its only versions that have come out in the last 2 or 3 weeks and most people dont upgrade youtube-dl often.

Any info about the pytube package?

What license does the project have?

Starting from scratch.

The video download shows an error here.
Is there a log about what went wrong?
youtube-dl (2013.08.29-1) installed.

[Yousuf 'Jay' Philips (philipz85)]

i'm not sure if there is an error log as i'm not the author of the software. I had no problems when i tested it on youtube-dl versions from 2012 onwards until the versions that came out in 2014.

I just downgraded to 2013.08.29-1 and didnt have any problems downloading a video. The video i just tested on was < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAdYtnQK3-I > with a 'webm' video format.

An error might be occurring for that particular video because there wasnt a version in that format. In the interface if you click the 'show advanced' and set the 'video format' drop down to another format, it should work. If an error occurs, if you move your mouse over the error icon, a tooltip should popup which shows what the error was. I've had error occuring because of video requiring user authentication and when the video format wasnt available.

Ok, setting the video format to webm worked.

What license is the app published under?

[Yousuf 'Jay' Philips (philipz85)]

The author hasnt mentioned anywhere in github what the license is. I have stopped using it as the author hasnt made any changes in the last 3 months, and it stopped working with newer versions of youtube-dl, but primarily because i have found a better and more complete youtube downloading app called ytd-gtk < https://code.google.com/p/ytd-gtk/downloads/list > and would prefer you add this one instead. You might like to also add the gplv3 clip grab - clipgrab.org.

Hum, seems to be a bug in the youtube-dl version in Ubuntu 12.04.

[Yousuf 'Jay' Philips (philipz85)]

Didnt get what you meant by "Starting from scratch". I just came across another complete youtube-dl gui frontend that you might consider packaging - https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui
