Main features:

- Automatically encode videos with mencoder, or just download
You can use ffmpeg too, just comment out the right lines in the python file, Im unable to encode some videos with ffmpeg, so mencoder is the default

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

python-youtube is a simple YouTube API Client for Python.
You can use it to access YouTube metadata in your applications and webapps. This implementation allows you to access the REST interface of the YouTube API.
Example usage:
c = youtube.YouTubeClient( your-dev-id)
for video in c.list_by_user( your-username):
v = c.get_details( video[id])
print video[id]
print v[thumbnail_url]
print v[title]
print v[description]
Enhancements:
- This release has been updated to include support for paging (the "page" and "per_page" parameters), so clients can fetch all data on a per-page basis.
