  1. I have a new tool for downloading videos from websites. It was not easy to get this working, so I am not recommending the investment of time for this, but I am dropping the link here, possibly for future reference, or for technically-minded people who have been looking for another way to download streaming video.

    This is working also as a #GreaseMonkey script in the #Falkon web browser.

  2. #Zenity is a bit of a winner for knocking together simple UIs. For ages I've been using a wrapper script around #ytdlp which determines the screen resolution of the computer it's running on, updates yt-dlp, then fetches the video supplied as an argument and streams it to #mpv.

    However that's not very friendly for folks who share the media device on which the script is available, so I wrapped it in Zenity to present a friendly UI for either playing a previously-watched video, playing a new video (by URL), presenting a list of previously-watched videos, and providing a means to delete one or all previously-watched videos.

  3. One thing bothering us when playing videos with our little, mobile friendly video player #livi was that playing from video sites like #peeretube or #youtube showed very little information in #phosh's media player widget. This is now fixed on Livi's main branch where it fetches the necessary bits from #ytdlp to display a thumbnail and artist information making it a better companion to the pipeline app too.
    We've improved a bunch of other things like faster seeking as well.

  8. Aus Langeweile mal ein Script gebastelt, was mir mittels yt-dlp ganze Playlisten bei YouTube herunterlädt, mit Titelnummern versieht und Ordnernamen anhand der Playlistbezeichnung erstellt.
