May 27 06:16:43 <Maxdamantus> sunshavi: I think I've had decent success using `-f 'mp4[height<=576]+m4a'`
May 27 06:17:38 <sunshavi> Maxdamantus: I am going to try it
May 27 06:27:17 <sunshavi> Thanks. It works nicely
May 27 07:46:07 <sixwheeledbeast> cutetube2 uses it's own qyoutube I believe, it seems to get broken by youtube often.
May 27 07:46:33 <sixwheeledbeast> Is that with the latest youtube-dl Maxd?
May 27 07:47:02 <sixwheeledbeast> or the one from the maemo repos?
May 27 09:43:57 <Maxdamantus> sixwheeledbeast: it's from git. Haven't used the one from maemo repos.
May 27 09:44:31 <Maxdamantus> I imagine with youtube-dl you'd usually want to just use git, unless you know that another source is being updated regularly.
May 27 09:44:58 <KotCzarny> you can use youtube-dl -U to autoupdate 
May 27 09:45:01 <Maxdamantus> and it's pretty easy to run from git too—no compilation required, works using maemo's version of Python last I checked.
May 27 09:45:52 <Maxdamantus> wonder how `-U` works.
May 27 09:46:04 <KotCzarny> downloads from website and replaces on filesystem
May 27 09:46:56 <KotCzarny> [root@e6440 11:46:58 /usr/local/bin]# ./youtube-dl -U
May 27 09:46:56 <KotCzarny> Updating to version 2020.05.08 ...
May 27 09:47:02 <Maxdamantus> Presumably that wouldn't work if it's maintained by a package manager.
May 27 09:49:18 <KotCzarny> its a single file
May 27 09:49:26 <KotCzarny> with embedded python archive
May 27 09:49:41 <KotCzarny> so all it takes is just replacing single file
May 27 09:50:00 <KotCzarny> of course package maintained can be a bit faster, because doesnt need to unpack the archive
May 27 09:50:42 <Maxdamantus> But people don't want packages that modify their installed program files.
May 27 09:50:45 <KotCzarny> and/or precompiled .py into objects
May 27 09:51:31 <KotCzarny> in case of youtube-dl it changes often, and dont think package maintainers track all the changes in files
May 27 09:51:51 <bencoh> google is a pain with that
May 27 09:52:10 <bencoh> and I don't see a good solution to youtube-dl unfortunately :(
May 27 09:56:18 <Maxdamantus> Pain with what?
May 27 09:57:09 <bencoh> "updating" youtube (breaking scrapers)
May 27 09:57:25 <bencoh> I'm wondering if they do it on purpose to be honest
May 27 09:57:56 <Maxdamantus> Well, as long as you have a youtube-dl that you can update easily (either because you just downloaded the file and use `-U` or because you just run it from git), it should be okay.
May 27 09:58:44 <Maxdamantus> Given that KotCzarny has it in /usr/local/bin, I'm guessing he did the former.
May 27 09:59:12 <KotCzarny> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1753976 May 27 11:47 youtube-dl
May 27 09:59:22 <bencoh> Yeah, but the fact that we need to keep it uptodate on an almost weekly basis is ... sad
May 27 09:59:44 <bencoh> which reminds me
May 27 09:59:51 <bencoh> Maxdamantus: I guess you run it in a chroot on n900?
May 27 10:00:12 <Maxdamantus> bencoh: yes. I run most custom non-graphical things in a Debian chroot.
May 27 10:00:31 <Maxdamantus> Don't really like having to rely on maemo repositories for things.
May 27 10:00:35 <bencoh> yeah
May 27 10:00:45 <bencoh> it's not exactly a good thing cache-wise, but ...
May 27 10:00:58 <KotCzarny> i think the autoupdating version can run on n900 assuming proper python version
May 27 10:01:05 <KotCzarny> but it's kinda slow on arm devices
May 27 10:01:52 <Maxdamantus> Yeah, I tried youtube-dl once outside the chroot and it seemed to work. I think there was some compatibility issue though with maemo's version of ffmpeg but I suspect there was a workaround for that, can't remember.
May 27 10:02:00 <KotCzarny> and i think -U pulls latest release from https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases
May 27 10:02:43 <bencoh> Hmm, I think I built a not-so-old ffmpeg for maemo months ago
May 27 10:02:47 <Maxdamantus> 10:19 < Maxdamantus> when I run youtube-dl at the moment, I get an due to the ffmpeg version in maemo not having the "-loglevel" argument.
May 27 10:05:08 <KotCzarny> when i build libav, it has some quirks with default gcc, i had to use newer one
May 27 10:05:38 <KotCzarny> most likely ffmpeg suffers similar issue
May 27 10:08:28 <Maxdamantus> I remember being able to build the latest version of ffmpeg about a year ago in the debian chroot (which itself is quite old—wheezy, now archived)
May 27 10:09:09 <Maxdamantus> bencoh: do you still use wheezy in the chroot, or have you got some sort of glibc hack?
May 27 10:37:28 <bencoh> Maxdamantus:  don't use any chroot
May 27 10:37:33 <bencoh> I*
May 27 10:42:44 <Maxdamantus> Ah.
