FILES DOWNLOAD

By default, mps-youtube is basically a YouTube audio player (and downloader), but you can enable external video playback (via mpv or MPlayer) from its options:

• search and play audio / video from YouTube;
• search tracks of albums by album title;
• search and import YouTube playlists;
• create and save local playlists;
• download audio / video from YouTube, with support for DASH (so it can mux separate audio and video streams - that means it can download 1080p YouTube videos since all 1080p YouTube videos use DASH);
• view video comments;
• works under Linux, Windows and Mac OSX;
• many other small but useful features.

• auto detect terminal size;
• transcode audio to mp3 and other formats (requires ffmpeg or avconv);
• added "da" (download best available audio file) and "dv" (download best available video file) commands to playlist search results;
• added options to download YouTube playlists (use "dapl" for audio and "dvpl" for video) by url or id;
• the progress indicator now works with mpv;
• added option to show system notifications (on Ubuntu, install "libnotify-bin" and enable notifications using "set notifier notify-send");
• Added overwrite true/false option for downloads (skips download if downloaded file already exists);
• added copy to clipboard feature (requires "xclip" from the repositories and "xerox" which you can install via python-pip);
• remux audio downloads for better file compatibility.

q to quit

• download videos (in HD as well as standard definition) from: YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Youku.com, myspass.de, myvideo.de and clipfish.de as well as other websites for which it has a generic downloader;
• integrated YouTube video search functionality;
• automatically convert downloaded videos to mpeg4, mp3, wmv and ogg theora/vorbis;

ClipGrab allows searching for videos on YouTube directly from its UI

• only the "Always download" clipboard feature works (but it doesn't automatically download the video - it only adds it to the downloads tab) because if you set ClipGrab to "Always ask", when a video is detected you must click on the notification to download the video, and the default Unity notifications don't support this;
• A missing icon symbol shows up on the panel.

Install ClipGrab in Ubuntu / Linux Mint

sudo sed -i 's/qiana/trusty/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clipgrab libav-tools
