NANY 2021: yaydl
« on: November 08, 2020, 03:01 PM »
NANY 2021 Entry Information

Application Name yet another youtube down loader
Version 0.3.0 changes regularly
Short Description does what it says
Supported OSes developed on macOS, compiled for Windows 10 11, but in theory, yaydl should run where Rust is available
Web Page https://code.rosaelefanten.org/yaydl
Downloadvia cargo: cargo install yaydl
System Requirements
  • ffmpeg. unless you can live with the default video formats and don’t ever use the audio-only option.
Author that would be me


Description
You know what was missing? A tool to download YouTube video files! Here’s mine.

Features

  • Can download videos.
  • Can optionally keep only the audio part of them.
  • Could convert the resulting file to something else (requires ffmpeg).
  • Comes as a single binary (once compiled) - take it everywhere on your thumbdrive, no Python cruft required.

Non-features

The list of features is deliberately kept short:

  • No output quality choice. yaydl assumes that your internet connection is good enough, or else you would stream, not download.
  • No complex filters. This is a downloading tool.
  • No image file support. Videos only.

Missing features (patches are welcome)

  • yaydl currently ignores video meta data (except the title) unless they are a part of the video file.
  • Playlists are not fully supported yet.
  • More supported sites: Possible, but not implemented yet. Check the README!

Usage

USAGE:
    yaydl [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <URL>

ARGS:
    <URL>    Sets the input URL to use

FLAGS:
    -h, --help          Prints help information
    -x, --only-audio    Only keeps the audio stream
    -v, --verbose       Talks more while the URL is processed
    -V, --version       Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -f, --audio-format <AUDIO>    Sets the target audio format (only if --only-audio is used).
                                  Specify the file extension here (defaults to "mp3").
    -o, --output <OUTPUTFILE>     Sets the output file name

yaydl.exe "https://www.youtube..../watch?v=Z-b13Df2QT0"

That results in an error: "Relative URL without a base"
Did not find any info about that error at the provided links.

Naturally, this specific video has a very different get_video_info file.  >:(
I’ll investigate... not today, I’m afraid. Maybe tomorrow.

Sorry.

Whenever you have the time, the resources and the desire to do anything about the previous problem, that is no problem. Better yet, I should say thanks for the effort you have already put into the current version. Nice, simple and (almost  :-[ ) doing everything it is supposed to.


At the risk of you hating me even more:
yaydl.exe "https://www.youtube..../watch?v=PNrVNbLGcY8"

That link gives the following error:
Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (os error 123)

Which is normally reserved for folders/files that have characters in their name that NTFS trips over.  Yet I could manage to download others in that series, which also had the | character in their name (I assume that is the character giving problems). Hence why this one goes wrong and others ok?

For matters like this the output parameter should be used, I'm aware. Just letting you know about my experiences with your software.

Yes, it does.
I hope that I find some time this week... thank you.

I’m afraid that the problem with some videos having a bad “base URL” will require some refactoring. I’m not even sure how to fix that.  :huh: But the other two problems look easy to fix...

Another one for you -

> yaydl "https://www.youtube..../watch?v=bS4Q-WWyl3Q" --only-audio
Fetching from YouTube.
thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not find ffmpeg - no processing is done.: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "The system cannot find the file specified." }', src\ffmpeg.rs:34:10
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace


Checking the source I see that you're just using the system's ffmpeg - should probably be listed as a requirement above.

Stop it!   >:(

Well, yes, it should... but at least it tells you what’s wrong!
I modified the system requirements above. I’m not quite sure about a better method yet. Ideas?

Ah, the precompiled binary. Yes, might well be. Have you tried installing it from Cargo?

Wanted to say thanks for this.. My first installed Rust app, was pretty painless and it worked great!
