youtube-viewer

[garby]

Since adobe-flash in 64-bit architecture is buggy and the replacement gnash is very much resource hungry, I suggest to create package like youtube-viewer (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37779). A wonderful package to watch youtube videos with comandline without need of flash.

youtube-viewer can search and play videos from youtube.com

The original developer's site is http://trizen.go.ro/

Thanks!

Now I made the youtube-viewer work (there is gtk-version also, but I prefer to go with command line. What I did was:

1) First installed the dependencies:

Code: Select all

slapt-get libwww-perl

2) Downloaded and placed the binary in /us/bin:

Code: Select all

wget trizen.go.ro/files/youtube-viewer
su
cp youtube-viewer /usr/bin/
chmod 755 /usr/bin/youtube-viewer

3) Executed youtube-viewer in terminal:

Code: Select all

youtube-viewer salixos hd 

And choose the number you want to play and the resolution. Isn't that wonderful? Enjoy!

This could be helpful for other Salixers

You can use the dev version of flash. See this thread http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 21&p=11838
