Youtube-dl 21 January 2018, 22:50:18 So youtube-dl has stopped working properly - "ratebypass" stopped working right, everyone on their github page is also having this problem. I don't know if their release as of today fixes it or not just yet but I'd just like you guys to get the newest version into the repos ASAP if you can, because the version we're on now downloads videos at literal dial-up speed, 50-90 kbps. I'm compiling it from source FOR NOW...But it would be nice if you guys kept it as updated as possible until ratebypass starts to work again. Thanks.
Re: Youtube-dl Reply #1 – 22 January 2018, 00:11:46 Maybe if you offered to maintain the latest release for Artix they would run with that? Beyond that isn't it coming from the Arch repo & not the responsibility of anyone packaging for Artix (they do only the openrc stuff I believe)?If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll be corrected. 1 Likes
Re: Youtube-dl Reply #2 – 22 January 2018, 17:08:13 Offer to maintain the latest release? How do I do that? I'm not really sure where to even begin. youtube-dl is in the [community] repo - pretty sure that's the Artix repo & not the Arch repo.I'd love to be able to maintain some packages for Artix, but I'm not so sure how that's all done, maybe I should look into it some more when I have time.

Re: Youtube-dl Reply #4 – 22 January 2018, 21:03:38 It stopped working because mplayer/mpv have stopped working because of https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,365.msg2960/topicseen.html#msg2960Just do:Code: [Select]pacman -Syu extra/libcdio-paranoia extra/libcdio
Re: Youtube-dl Reply #5 – 23 January 2018, 04:38:48 @Sero Forgive me, I can ask silly questions sometimes?How are those files that mplayer (& associated media player packages) needs, connected with youtube-dl?Does youtube-dl use those same packages in the trans-coding process?
Re: Youtube-dl Reply #6 – 23 January 2018, 04:46:49 mpv/smplayer automatically use youtube-dl in the background when opening some urls, at least that's 99% of my usage of youtube-dl, through them, not sure about the transcoding part, but the same libraries might break transcoding as well. I now realize that people might be using youtube-dl in different scenarios than I am - archiving, not viewing. Last Edit: 23 January 2018, 04:52:21 by Sero

Youtube-dl isn't downloading at normal speeds unless its the "muxed" kind (best) usually number 22 or 18 or something, it usually says "best", its the one that doesn't need to be merged. Ratebypass broke on youtube-dl. Dunno what you're talking about with mpv or mplayer... I've been compiling youtube-dl from source for the past like month almost now, hoping that they'll find some sort of fix..
Re: Youtube-dl Reply #9 – 28 January 2018, 13:45:28 Clipgrab, specifically clipgrab-qt5, is what I use for downloading (and converting) videos from youtube. It will also download videos from some other sites too. It works great for my purpose. It's available in the AUR. Best regards.
