In my case, the main disadvantage of the browser-related downloaders (as opposed to a command line utility) is that I have a hard time scripting them. If I am given 100 YouTube links to download locally, am I supposed to copy/paste the addresses one by one into those plugins/websites/javascripts/whatever? Really, the simplest way is to create a bash script: #! /bin/bash youtube-dl -t <url1> youtube-dl -t <url2> youtube-dl -t <url3> ... and let it run. That's my main reason for using youtube-dl. Then again, my usecase is not very common... ;-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
