Hello again, While I'm at it, I might as well share a pair of my media scripts which are extremely helpful when it comes to handling web A/V from command line browsers.
These two files are various bash scripts I've written [or adjusted] for CLI media-related activities. "mcfmod" is a heavy modification of a last.fm mpd player which allows a user to play specific songs, artists, genres, or songs via mpd and the command line. "mcf --help" details syntax. The script as I have it now will download and label a single mp3 file from a specified genre, artist, or etc. The script depends on id3, xmlstarlet, and misc. other the standard GNU-linux tools. "youtubedl" is a fairly short bash script which, given a youtube URL, provides an mplayer-able or wget'able download URL. While this is definitely not the shortest of youtube download scripts, it is extremely readable and sends the minimum required information to the youtube servers. This script can be used as a basis for other, similar scripts. I run mcfmod in a while [ True ] loop on my server, slowly filling up the 300gb sata drive I have in there with assorted house and techno music. youtubedl I am currently working on binding to a hotkey in w3m to allow near-seamless viewing of youtube videos from a command line browser. Enjoy! -- Ian Daniher
