Good evening. There is also the very easy to use youtube-dl script [1] available. Its code is in the public domain. It is a python script.
Usage: (a) create a directory ~/bin (b) download the file "youtube-dl" from [1] and put it in there (c) log out and reconnect (in order to add ~/bin to your path) (d) type $ youtube-dl -t <URL> in your terminal (e) a *.flv should be in your working directory. view it with xine, mplayer,... I have not followed the entire discussion, so please apologize if this program does not satisfy all of your usage criteria. Greetings b Vladimir B.
