  • Monty Python officially on YouTube

    Posted on Nov. 19, 2008 at 23:59 +0100 Tagged with ,

    "For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube" but now Monty Python strike back and come after you ... with high quality versions of their greatest clips. A couple of days ago, Monty Python opened their own channel on YouTube with a short clip explaining what they want in return from you: "click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years."

  • youtube-dl: Downloading with Python magic

    Posted on Aug. 24, 2006 at 10:29 +0200 Tagged with ,

    Ricardo Garcia Gonzalez has published another tool for downloading videos from YouTube. youtube-dl is written in Python and a commandline script (day of the commandline tools today, ey?) (Thanks William Pramana for that link). Besides actually downloading the video, it also has an option for only printing the video's real URL on YouTube, so that you can start the download process with whatever download manager you like. The only disadvantage here is, that the script also prints some text alongside the actual URL, so it's not you usable for some piping action. Not all that hard to patch that.
