KDE Service Menu

Downloads: 24214

Submitted: Jun 25 2006
Updated: May 5 2012

Description:

Usage:
Right-click onto a link to a YouTube video or at the background of the YouTube site showing the video and choose action -> Download YouTube Video -> ...

About:
I made some modifications to the original YouTube Service Menu. It didn't work for me, so I looked at the source. I added a different method to guess the video_id and I added additional parameters to the query string to download the video.

With this Konqueror/KDE service menu it is possible to download a YouTube video
by right clicking a link to the video and choosing "Download YouTube Video" from the
actions menu.

For more details see:
http://bitbucket.org/panzi/youtube-service-menu/wiki/Home

http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=41432

Note:
I don't use this script myself anymore because I now use this userscript (which I also made):
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98782

This means this script might not be maintained in the future.

Changelog:

version 1.12a:
FIX: encoding problems

version 1.12:
NEW: chose format from menu with --format=ask.
NEW: --list option for Python script.
FIX: typos that made the script crash

version 1.11b:
FIX: Crash introduced in last version.

version 1.11a:
Updated greek translation. Thanks to Dimitrios Glentadakis.

version 1.11:
FIX: Extraction of video information. Now a different data extraction strategy
reading the flashvars of embed is used. Hopefully this is more stable.

version 1.10a:
ADD: Greek translation, thanks to Dimitrios Glentadakis (dglent)

version 1.10:
FIX: Extraction of video information. Now a different data extraction strategy
reading the flashvars of embed is used. Hopefully this is more stable.
DEP: New dependency to lxml: http://lxml.de/
NEW: Added video format 38: High Definition 3072p (mp4)

I installed your script and nothing happens when I right click and choose any of the options in the service menu. There are no error messges, what's wrong.

Well, thats interesting. Do you have python and kdialog installed? Type "kdialog --version" and "python -V" on your shell and tell me the output. Anyway, TODAY I don't have time to do more debugging. ;)

Do you use version 1.2c?
If yes, please start konqueror from a terminal, try to download a youtube video, and post the output on the shell (if there is any). If there isn't any output, tell me exactly what you are doing (which video you want to download and how).

PS: There was a error message. But it was not caught by my script, so it was printed to the shell (you have to run konqueror from a terminal to see such error messages). ;)

You have to rewrite this script in JavaScript. I don't know mozillas/firefoxs plugin API and it's so f*king easy to write such a plugin for konqueror, so I use konqueror only for browsing youtube. ;)

Sorry that I didn't see your posting earlier. This forum here is confusing (I often don't see all comments o_O, not even my own). Your links are broken, I guess It's my fault because I didn't notice it earlier. You can use this page to send me an email: http://kde-apps.org/usermanager/message.php?username=panzi

To all: Use the mentioned page to send me a email when you have done a translation or have found a serious bug. (Not a bug in the (gui-)setup.py, I know this thing is a not working shame.)

I just noticed that my spam filter has marked some mail sent over this system as junk. I guess it's hard to get in contact with me.

Well the best thing is to sniff with wireshark/ethereal to see what the flash player is downloading. Usually it's a HTTP GET request with some kind of (video-)id in the query-string. If the mime-type of the reply is video/x-flv you know for sure it's the right request. ;)
