Is there a way to install this script youtube video player in fossa?

[joet12345]

This is the script: https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf

type curl in a terminal to see if curl is installed. if so, try to paste the script but remove the sudo command where it occurs. if it fails, post the output.

can you find/install jq with the puppy package manager or maybe pkg would be better?

I installed jp and fzf from package manager and it still not go

It's been a long day. But I kind of remember that you have to sfs-load the devx file to work with github. See if a search reveals that.

[williwaw]

if you open /usr/bin/ytfxf as text in an editor and maybe enable line numbers? (it's under the view menu in geany)

line 458 is?

You mean this:

[williwaw]

yes, but line 459 (and surrounding)

edit: I missed it in your pic

[williwaw]

i think you need to include an arguement to the ytfzf command

ytfzf -t richard stallman or whatever per "examples" https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf/blo ... /README.md

[williwaw]

what does it return if you try ytfzf puppy or ytfzf -D puppy

edit: fixed link to examples

the -t is for thumbnails, and so is ueberzug?

lets see if we can get it to work without images for now

I got it to work in Bionic64 and I am using ytfzf -D puppy linux. Also needed to use:

Code: Select all

pip3 install ueberzug

I have to try out the -t switch again, first attempt did not work fully with this error thrown:

Code: Select all

invalid preview window layout: left:50%:noborder:wrap

Also the playing of a selected video seems to start and shows data but no video.

[joet12345]

I have not had time to keep playing with this till now and I got somewhere further by using this

Code: Select all

ytfzf -t 1 -D puppy linux

I know YouTube has a stand alone servers for the main site thumbnails...so maybe this is what line 459 code is asking the youtube server... ytfzf needs to ask for thumbnails as a web browser would.... that is my theory at least.

Me, I cannot install euberzug... in the command prompt I get lots of errors so....example:

[666philb]

Code: Select all

pip3 install ueberzug

of course you need pip3 from the ppm first.

you also need the latest youtube-dl (uninstall first if got from the PPM)

Code: Select all

curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

all working here, nice app
