Somewhat tangential, but: I'd love to have a script that automatically downloads the FLV file for every YouTube video I've bookmarked in del.icio.us. My collection of videos is slowly leaking away due to takedown requests.
- pkrumins 19y agoThat's pretty trivial to do. Do you have any programming experience? Here is the method: 1) Use del.icio.us API to extract your bookmarks linking to youtube (http://del.icio.us/help/api/ http://del.icio.us/help/api/) 2) For each entry in the list, call the downloader script on the url. 3) Optionally convert the video to a better format than FLV (http://www.catonmat.net/blog/converting-youtube-flvs-to-a-better-format-with-ffmpeg/ http://www.catonmat.net/blog/converting-youtube-flvs-to-a-be...) Easy :)
