youtube rip with dwb + youtube-dl
Published 2014-05-24, last edit 2019-02-19
Just finished a snippet that can be used in combination with dwb(or many other browsers, probably) to auto download a youtube video and convert it to audio using youtube-dl.
#!/bin/bash # dwb: xf download\_dir=/my/media/dir youtube-dl -x -o $download\_dir'/%(uploader)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s' $DWB\_URI
It can probably be noted that I had some trouble with the youtube-dl naming syntax at first - the ’%(title)s’ and such needs to be in a string or else bash freaks out. Also this will fail without ffmpeg, as that is a dep for audio conversion with youtube-dl.
