I'll have a look into it. Since I'm currently busy writing my Master's thesis, this may take a while. Expect updates in April. But of course, patches are always welcome ;) |

Hi!
According to http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/documentation.html , it is possible to search video sites and automatically download the videos found.
As far as i can see, ytsearch (for youtube), gvsearch (for google video) and ybsearch (for yahoo video) are implemented.
But i can only get ytsearch working. The other boths dont work for me.
Example:
A batch file "test.bat" with the content:
e:\programme\python26\python youtube-dl.py -U
e:\programme\python26\python youtube-dl.py -i -w "ytsearch2:funny cats"
e:\programme\python26\python youtube-dl.py -i -w "gvsearch2:funny dogs"
e:\programme\python26\python youtube-dl.py -i -w "ybsearch2:funny animals"
produces the following output:
c:\test>test
c:\test>e:\programme\python26\python youtube-dl.py -U
Updating to latest version...
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2012.01.08b)
c:\test>e:\programme\python26\python youtube-dl.py -i -w "ytsearch2:funny cats"

So, from youtube there are two videos downloaded, as intended, very fine :-)
But via google and yahoo none.
Am i doing or understanding something wrong, or is there something broken?
And... unfortunately i am no programmer, so i can not implement it by myself, but i suspect that i am not the only one who would appreciate it very much, if such a search option would be implemented for other video download sites too, e.g. dailymotion or myvideo :-)
Thanks in advance, best regards :-)
