(gtk-ytvwr) download instead of playing (no-right-click-available)?

[mrkapqa]

hello,

i got myself a new chromebook and it supports also some basic linux function as it seems.
to be able to play video on the go id like to download some video or so,

and gtk-youtube-viewer seems best,
but unfortunately in this environment the right-click seems not available (the tablet has a keyboard, but it seems not fully operative in the linux box) so

i would like to request being able to download video instead of playing when i double click a search result in gtk-youtube-viewer.

you have helped very many times hope you dont get bored of me.

thank you very much - multumesq.

Unfortunately, the right-click menu seems to be broken on older versions of Gtk3: trizen/straw-viewer#17

One solution, if possible, would be to update the gtk3 library to (preferably) the latest version available.

If you have youtube-dl installed, you can use the solution discussed in #181 for downloading videos, instead of playing them, by adding a new video player entry that uses youtube-dl.

thank you, i found another solution after being able to activate developer mode on the chromebook, which allowes for installing android apk outside of google play store (went for "tubemate" which also gives download)
was looking for the other solution, but didnt quite it yesterday :)^

Another solution is CTRL+D, which opens the "Video details" window. See "Help -> Help" for more shortcuts.
