Dear Debian folks, I tried getting flashplayer-nonfree to work with youtube but it didn't quite succeed. So I then read some web pages that said gnash could read swf files and so you in theory download a youtube video and then watch it using gnash.....
I found youtube-dl but then noticed it wasn't installed on Lenny (at least man youtube-dl doesn't result in anything) and it didn't seem to be in the synaptic list..... Is it a new package that is a squeeze addition? There does seem to be squeeze deb package for it in the debian repository web pages....... I have installed gnash and gstreamer. I wanted to watch Jeremy Paxman interviewing Christopher Hitchens who has recently contracted oesphageal cancer. Doing something like this: gnash -u http://example.domain.com/flashfile.swf or flashfile.flv etc would be good but you need to figure out how to get a software trufflehound to sniff at this sort of URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwDYbNIHyN0 (or something similar) and then find the .flv or .swf truffle that I am interested in pointing gnash at. Looks like youtube-dl would do this. youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"; or youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwDYbNIHyN0"; in my case. If this would work I could avoid this non-free messing about and would be quite contented.
