Download videos

VLC

See VLC tips.

  1. Play the video in VLC
  2. On VLC, check Tools -> Codec information and find a URL there
  3. Open the URL on a browser. Right click the video and choose to save the video.

The method works for youtube and vimeo videos.

Firefox/Chrome add-on

3 Easy Ways to Download YouTube Videos in Ubuntu and Other Linux Distributions

Video DownloadHelper add-on works fine when I test it on Firefox and Chrome. I need to install an app Video DownloadHelper companion app (the source code is on Github) in order to use the extension. It saves the videos to ~/dwhelper folder.

mpsyt: mps-youtube (mp3 + stream + youtube)

By default, mps-youtube is basically a YouTube audio player (and downloader), but you can enable external video playback (via mpv or MPlayer) from its options. Check out

  • An article on webupd8.
  • More keyboard controls can be found on the webpage of mps.

Installation on Linux (works on Odroid with low CPU usage for audio stream from youtube but Odroid gives dirty noise when I played the music). 

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install mps-youtube
sudo pip3 install youtube_dl

# On Ubuntu/Mint. Do not use mplayer. Use mpv instead.
# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/mpv-tests
# sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mpv

mpsyt   # launch
set player mpv
pl https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6h94tLpXv3LabUa7B0tCz7K0pI5ZzZEi   # a playlist
h       # help
Space   # pause
p       # play
q       # quit mpsyt

h search
url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgIfZz8STLk   # retrieve specific youtube video by url or id

Installation on Windows

Some highlight

  • Search
  • Local playlist
  • support YouTube Playlists
  • Download
  • Music Album Matching

If something is wrong with using 'set' command, just run rm -rf ~/.config/mps-youtube/ and restart everything.

By default, it only streams audio. To watch the video, use set show_video true.

Below is what I got from the set command (as you can see the default player is mpv) 

  Key                 Value                                                  
  order             : relevance
  user_order        : 
  max_res           : 2160p
  player            : mpv
  playerargs        :

  notifier          : 
  checkupdate       : True
  show_mplayer_keys : True
  fullscreen        : False
  show_status       : True
  columns           : 
  ddir              : /home/odroid/Downloads/mps
  overwrite         : True
  show_video        : False
  search_music      : True
  window_pos        : 
  window_size       : 
  download_command  : 
  audio_format      : auto
  api_key           : AIzaSyCIM4EzNqi1in22f4Z3Ru3iYvLaY8tc3bo

The screenshot shows mpsyt contains basic playing keyboard shortcuts.

                                          Doesn't work with -H -D
     -D, --ext-menu                       Use external menu(default dmenu) instead of fzf 
     -H, --choose-from-history            Choose from history

     -m, --audio-only   <search-query>    Audio only (for music)

     -a, --auto-play    <search-query>    Auto play the first result, no selector
     -r  --random-play  <search-query>    Auto play a random result, no selector
     -n, --video-count= <video-count>     To specify number of videos to select with -a or -r
     -l, --loop         <search-query>    Loop: prompt selector again after video ends
     -s                 <search-query>    After the video ends make another search 
     -L, --link-only    <search-query>    Prints the selected URL only, helpful for scripting

     --previews=       <left/right>      the side of the screen to show thumbnails
     --upload-time=     <time-range>      Time range can be one of, last-hour, today, this-week, this-month, this-year
                   You can also put the filter as it's own option eg: --today
     --upload-sort=     <sort-filter>     The filter to sort the videos can be one of, upload-date, view-count, rating
                   You can also put the filter as it's own option eg: --upload-date
     --filter-id=       <filter>          The id of the filter to use for video reults
                   A filter id can be found by going to youtube searching, filtering how you want
                   Then taking the value of the &sp= part of the url
                   Filters may not work especially when the filter sorts for non-videos
                   In addition this overrides any filter provided through options
                   Example: ytfzf --filter-id=EgJAAQ minecraft
                   This will filter by livestream

     --update                             clones the latest commit and installs it
                   on Arch ytfzf is available in the AUR
  Use - instead of <search-query> for stdin

  Option usage:
     ytfzf -fDH                           to show history using external 
                                          menu and show formats
     ytfzf -fD --choose-from-history      same as above

  Defaults can be modified through ENV variables
  Defaults:
     YTFZF_HIST=1                          0 : off history
     YTFZF_CACHE=~/.cache/ytfzf
     YTFZF_LOOP=0                          1 : loop the selection prompt

     YTFZF_CUR=1                           For status bar bodules
