Re: How to dump youtube live TV stream to file using commandline?

MKANET · #11 01-20-2013, 12:16 PM

EDIT: There aren't any updated cclive builds for windows.
It seems youtube-dl is the only commandline downloader that has a Windows executable.

Thanks, but I dont have cygwin; and, definitely not worth installing just for a shell script.

MKANET · #13 01-20-2013, 07:54 PM

I wasn't begging and certainly not from you.

Suit yourself but it does work.

No doubt it works for you, but if I was going to install an entire cygwin environment on my machine, I would have done it a long time ago; and certainly not for a single script. I do have cygwin1.dll on my machine for a few standalone exe's, but that's about it.

Elgero · #16 01-21-2013, 01:14 AM

I can write a commandline tool tomorrow that is similar to svnpenn's script, but it requires .NET Framework 2.0.

MKANET · #17 01-21-2013, 02:33 AM

That would be great. I already have .NET Framework 2.0. I appreciate it.

@svnpenn5 I really do appreciate pointing me to babycygwin. I didnt even know there was such a thing.

One of the reasons why I was hoping for a windows native command-line tool was because it's much easier for me to integrate into my existing Windows batch files and apps; plus, the output would display natively in my Windows command prompt. I'm sure there are probably ways to further bridge the gap; but, it's hard to pass up a Windows native command-line tool if it's available.

BTW: I did try youtube.sh. I think Im doing something fundamentally wrong. But, it gave an error for me. It would be good to get this to work just in case the .NET solution doesnt come through.

Code:

MKANET@Horizon ~
$ youtube.sh youtube.com/watch?v=LHelEIJVxiE
/bin/youtube.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/bin/youtube.sh: line 4: `<!DOCTYPE html>'

You need to get "Raw" version by clicking Raw link on GitHub.

@svnpenn5 @Elgero, the whole purpose of needing this functionality in the first place is because I currently have Windows applications that depend on a external youtube plugin (looks for a user-defined Windows EXE,BAT, or CMD) to handle youtube streaming. Ive been using youtube-dl.exe for this, but unfortunately youtube-dl.exe doesnt handle live-tv correctly. So, I've been searching for a suitable Win32/Win64 youtube-dl.exe replacement.

With the solution that svnpenn5 so kindly created, I have no idea how to tell it what to do from a windows command prompt. Below, is the functionality I would need for this to work:

@svnpenn5, I hope this isn't asking too much (at this point it is getting closer to begging

), but is there any way you could convert your batch script into a Windows executable (with builtin baby-cygwin) that works like the above example?

BTW, @Elgero, did you change your mind to make a .net based script that does this?

Thanks so much,
MKANET
