Thanks for the update of your YouTube script series. Tested and works great!

Hi!

- I like triggering download via monitoring Clipboard. So should be possible to get action from e.g. Virtual Machine.
- In your script is a small bug. Global variable mp3x should be assigned in autoexec section, to avoid Waring when manually copying url.
- There is script to programmatically Get Url
- youtube-dl can download from variety of sites, not just YouTube
- while downloading, it's not possible to trigger new download or stack url to buffer to be downloaded subsequently.
- no (option) downloading subtitles

bye!

thank you rommmcek , small corrections made :
-mp3x=0 ;- at begin , so with ctrl+c downloads video
-run,https://youtube-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe ;- https:// was missing

it was just a short example to download MP4 or MP3
have you a more complexed example with youtube-dl ?

[rommmcek]

Not much more, then described above. The code is a real mess so it's not to publish (and have no time to clean it up). If you're interested, I can send you a PM?

[adegard]

Great! than you
I just changed send,^l (instead of !s) for chrome

[garry]

@adegard , thanx, modified , ^l works with Firefox and Chrome
