so I'm hoping that means I now have youtube-dl installed. Now to find
out how to employ it!! Add it as an extension to my SeaMonkey, I guess! ;-)
Stand by!!
In your terminal window (Xterm) type 'man youtube-dl' (without the
quotes) and then Enter and read the fine manual. Use the space bar to
page down, b to go up and, as it says, q to go back to the shell prompt.
Basically, copy the URL of the page with the video you want and paste it
into a youtube-dl command in a terminal window, so it looks like this:
youtube-dl 'wanted_video_url'
And then press Enter ...
You might want to restrict the format of the resulting video file, maybe
to reduce the file size or to get a certain combination of container and
codecs. Either add options before the url or edit youtube-dl's default
settings.
Although youtube-dl packages may be available for Mageia, the program
changes faster than updated RPMs can be made, because it includes many
extraction modules that have to match changes in the target websites.
Your direct installation is fine. You need to run this command every so
often (especially if things stop working) to ensure you have the latest
version:
sudo youtube-dl -U
/df
