[Ilugc] Unable to install You tube downloader

2011-10-15 Thread SRIKANTH NS
Hi All

I run Debian 5.0 in a dual boot machine.

When I ran apt-get install youtube-dl as root,
it says could not find package youtube-dl.

I saw in Synaptic package manager, metacafe-dl.
That installed without any problem.

What could be the problem?

Will the youtube-dl install only in DEbian 6.0?

Please help out.

Srikanth

If you cant find youtube-dl then there is an beautiful plug-in available for
Firefox called as FlashGot.
It fetches all the videos, not only videos from youtube. I hope Firefox runs
in Debian without any problem :)

Looks like it's not packaged for Debian 5. But youtube-dl is just a
single python script that you can download from
http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/download.html

Here's the direct link for the latest version, if you want to wget it:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/2011.09.30/youtube-dl

 Will the youtube-dl install only in DEbian 6.0?

Python 2.5+ is the only requirement for youtube-dl and it should work
everywhere Python 2.5+ is installed including Debian 5 (or even
Windows for that matter).

That's fine except for the fact he would not be able to schedule an
automated downloading from a shell script or chain it with other
command line tools.
