This is a question which is probably best asked to an audience that knows something about mps-youtube. The README at https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube says that you can install mps-youtube using Homebrew. Homebrew is not MacPorts. It's not even a good idea to install software with both Homebrew and MacPorts on the same machine. using mps-youtube in terminal does nothing Help- please. I hope you can find help. Maybe ask on a Homebrew mailing list? Maybe read the documentation? -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
Re: Using mps-youtube
My mistake, it should be "smtube" instead. How does one run it is my basic question. Entering it at the command line does nothing. Thanks.

Re: Using mps-youtube
To use "smtube", the best way is to go to /Applications/MacPorts and double-click smtube.app Good luck! Just tried it and still works for me, although I see something is going on with a Google "quota exceeded" thing today... anyway it redirects to Youtube.com and that works fine for me too! Best, Ken
Re: Using mps-youtube
Oh, maybe spoke too soon... it goes to youtube.com, but then the vids are not opening... have to see if there's an update to smplayer perhaps, I guess, or some other weirdness... If you're on an older Mac that could make use of smtube.app, I presume you also know about TenFourFox, the FireFox browser for < 10.8 that works so well on those systems.

Well, which "obscure" commands are you looking for? 'man dscl' will give you extensive instructions for dscl, and hitting tab a couple of times at a shell prompt will offer to show you a list of a few thousand available commands, assuming your shell has completion active and configured normally. Which is exactly my point: a few thousand commands that are not mentioned anywhere except by accident. I've been a "shell" person for decades, and whilst GUIs are all very well I want to know what's really happening under the bonnet (ObUS: hood). For example, "dscl" looks useful but this is the first time that I've come across it; what other gems are awaiting me, I wonder? And it doesn't help that the Mac's manpages are largely incomplete; I know, getting a bit off-topic for this list... -- Dave
Re: Using mps-youtube
I just bumped it to the latest version for lastic, who hasn't been around lately. The newest version is indicating they want you to register for a Youtube API key -- I haven't done that as yet, but presumably it will make it work as it did before.
