Using YouTube download - fails for this single occasion

Post by cobaka »

Hello all! Woof!

I got a script from this forum - YouTube download.
This shell program sits in the top corner of the desk-top. Using click & drag the script will put a you-tube file in your drive.

Great program - but it doesn't work with this file:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... nian+style
The video is called "A country fair, Tasmanian style"

It's a beaut little home-video made by an American travelling in Tasmania. (Oh! You don't know about Tasmania? It's an island south of Australia, 26,215 square miles in area.)
Any ideas why the you-tube down-loader works for nearly everything except this file?

The code:
I put this in /bin. Click to run.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z $(busybox which gxmessage) ]; then

if [ -z `busybox which yad` ]; then

	echo $msg
	$MESSAGE "`echo -e $msg`"

if [ -z `busybox which yad` ]; then
	msg=" You don't have yad installed.\nIt's a dependency of this program.\n Please install it."
	echo $msg
	$MESSAGE "`echo -e $msg`"
exit 0
fi

if [ -z `busybox which youtube-dl` ] && [ -z `busybox which youtube-dlc` ]; then
	msg=" You don't have youtube-dl or youtube-dlc installed.\n  It's a dependency of this program.\n   Please install it."
	echo -e "$msg"
yad --center --text=" $msg  " --button="gtk-close:0"

Hi @cobaka

I am afraid I cannot help you with the script.

However, I can recommend an alternative way to download the content.

@fredx181 has a super application which can do the work for you

Youtube-Get, a GUI frontend for youtube-dl (now yt-dlp)

@cobaka
@Jasper
I use both of the above and had the odd failure with both but all in all I find them both very good and would recommend them. I don't have a solution to cobaka's problem but would be interested to know what the solution/explanation is if there is one.

Regards,

Ken.

@keniv and @cobaka

I took a peek at this and my initial thought was busybox should be looking for yt-dlp ???

also, a bit further down the script if tells me that "youtube-dl" is using it's own internal downloader.

In @fredx181 application (uses yt-dlp), I changed the option to use Aria2c as an external downloader. For me it works faster. You can also use WGet too.

Re: Using YouTube download - fails for this single occasion

Post by fredx181 »

@cobaka the problem was that the video ID (what comes after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=) starts with a "-" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-meEe-jTFlk (rather exceptional, I guess)
So that way youtube-dl thinks of it as an option (that doesn't exist)
Updated the script ytdl-dnd with fix, see here: viewtopic.php?p=12313#p12313
Also note that youtube-dl is very much outdated (slow download speed), so I'd recommend to use the other attached script ytdlp-dnd (makes use of yt-dlp), but needs python3, see more info at link above.

Hello @fredx181 and woof!

I think you're onto something about the "-" character. Recently (can't remember the detail) I did something with file-names beginning with hash "#". Nada, zip, nothing. Decided the file-name was passed to the shell where "#" was seen as 'comment'. I removed "#" and waddayaknow? Everything worked as expected.

Even Linux/Unix has foibles!
Thank you for this observation. I should be able to deal with '-' using a back-slash pre-fix.
Going back to the original video, "A country fair in Tasmania" - this ten minute video - is superb. Well scripted, nicely edited and has captured the essence of the Huon Valley, Tasmania. Bushmen, on their day off, doing what they do well.

Result of adding back-slash prefix before "-". "Download error".
I will explore the possibility of intercepting the video stream and saving to disk.
Also - other suggestions made by other 'woofers'.
Thinking about this - I intended to show this to my neighbour (who grew up in Tasmania but is fairly-well house-bound at the moment). Life will go on if it doesn't happen!

@cobaka There seems to be a misunderstanding, not ?
I recognized the code from your first post that it's mine from here: viewtopic.php?p=12313#p12313
And yesterday replaced the attached ytdl-dnd there with a fix for that "dash" problem.

Details:
The fix is on line 248
Replaced this:
echo -e "${URL}" > "$URILIST"
with this:
echo -e "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${URL}" > "$URILIST"
(the complete url instead of only the id, normally it works with only the ID, but not in case of starting with a dash)

See also issue here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/4800

In your case with the video "A country fair, Tasmanian style", using only the ID doesn't work as it starts with a "-", so youtube-dl -meEe-jTFlk fails to download,
make it youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-meEe-jTFlk and it works.
(or as stated on the github issue, this would work too youtube-dl -- -meEe-jTFlk
