Save youtube videos from totem

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: totem

I have been using the youtube totem plugin a lot lately, and I think it would be useful to have the possibility to use it to save videos to disk. It already seems to copy the actual video to /tmp, so I guess technically it shouldn't be too difficult.

You already get a menu when you right-click the videos in the sidebar, so it would only be a matter of including a third menu item, "save to disk", which would span a save dialogue.

I'm attaching a mockup.

it's more a feature request, but i confiremed it anyway. It can be useful.

May you please forward it upstream since you're interested on the feature? thanks.

Still present, there is a patch upstream, if some developers wants to work on it.
