Second Test Version of Downtube 3.0 for Linux has been released.
ChangeLog
downtube-batch: additional script for downloading bundled videos only once. It is in testing phase and is intended to be coupled to the main program when stable.
Example
$ downtube-batch videos.txt
*connection via proxy: proxy allowed for downloading videos
Initial conversion setup: called “presets”
complete translation: two available languages for the time being: English and Portuguese.
This was carried through using gettext (), that brings two benefits:
- Downtube is now capable of automatically detecting the language of the user and capable of loading the translation.
- new languages can easily be added, only translating the file
downtube.pot – that contains the original strings (in English)- into the new language, using a tool (KBabel, for example)
file names: downtube saves the files with the same names of the video hosted in youtube.
Default directory: a default folder to save videos in.
Encoder and player: ffmpeg pack (ffmpeg encoder and ffplay player)adopted as default, due to easy installation handling.
All options are visible by entering “downtube -h” in command-line.
downtube 3.0 beta 2 – 49kb
