Free youtube software for linux

Get YouTube Video is a service menu for KDE.

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 -> ...

Install:
cd ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
tar xvzf /path/to/youtube-servicemenu.tar.gz

I made some modifications to the YouTube Service Menu. It didnt work for me, so I looked at the source. I added a differnent method to guess the video_id and I added additional parameters to the query string to download the video.

The query-string trick is:
video_id is a part of the site-url, in which the video is embedded:

video_ids = set(re.findall(www.youtube.com/v/([-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data))

or

m = re.search(video_id=(?P [-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data)

or

m = re.search(v=(?P [-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data)

Then I do:

url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s" % video_id

Now url points to a site in which the video will be embedded, so I can apply following regular expression to its contens:

m = re.search(watch_fullscreen?(?P .*?)&fs=1&title=" + "(?P

UnPlug is a its a video download tool for Firefox.

UnPlug is an extension which lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage.

UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where media players are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file.

UnPlug works for lots of sites including youtube.com, iflim.com, current.tv, myspace.com (video), revver.com, mobuzz.tv and lots more.

Unlike many other extensions, UnPlug scans the page, and if it doesnt know there the data comes from it can guess - correctly most of the time.

UnPlug your Plug-Ins and view media however you want!

youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com. youtube-dl requires the Python interpreter, version 2.4 or later, and its not platform specific. It should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac. The latest version is 2006.08.10. Its licensed under the MIT License, which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like complying with a few simple conditions.

Ill try to keep it updated if YouTube.com changes the way you access their videos. After all, its a simple and short program. However, I cant guarantee anything. If you detect it stops working, check for new versions and/or inform me about the problem, indicating the program version you are using. If the program stops working and I cant solve the problem but you have a solution, Id like to know it. If that happens and you feel you can maintain the program yourself, tell me.
