ytplay script Q & A

<== Back to ytplay project

• Q: Can I develop/test ytplay on rockhopper?
  • A: Unfortunately, cclive is not installable on rockhopper at present, so developing ytplay on rockhopper will be severely limited. You can login to opus instead, which does have cclive installed.

• Q: How to do get on opus instead of rockhopper?
  • A: If you installed MUCSremote, it included vnc2rockhopper and vnc2linuxlab scripts. The vnc2linuxlab scripts log you into opus.

• Q: How do I use the yt script from the ytplay script to download videos?
  • A: See list:

             - yt needs to be in the same directory as the ytplay script.
             - In ytplay, you need to call the yt script with ../yt because ytplay
               creates a video search directory and changes into it before doing
               anything else.
             - yt needs to be executable.
             - You have to comment out any 'mplayer' and 'rm' lines in yt, so that it only
               downloads a video, instead of downloading, playing and deleting a video.
