The mp3-samples at amazon works great when I copy the link from the play-button, but I miss the function for the normal sound-samples at amazon (without a play-button) like here.

Your wish is my commnad! ClipDown v2.4 can play sound-samples at the regular amazon site. Not only do they play but they can be downloaded as well and will be given the song title as a name. Unfortunalty the mp3 site sound samples can't be downloaded currently. v2.4 should be appearing on OS4Depot shortly.

No, I'm using OWB (3.15).

Hmmm......are you clipping the video by moving the mouse over the video's picture, then using the middle or right mouse button to clip the URL from the menu or are you clicking on the picture to got to it's page then copying the URL to the clipboard from the URL string gadget at the top of the page via the RAmiga+C key combination?

I usually move over the picture and copy via the dropdown menu.

I've discovered that if you use IBrowse or AWeb to cut the URL in stead of OWB, the error you discribed occurs. The download still works fine but the URL is not added as a file comment. Looking into it.

Should streaming from youtube with MPlayer work? For me it downloads all before playing it in MPlayer...

Yes, in Auto Action mode and Play with getvideo it will stream the movie.
If you set a large cache with MPlayer it will fill the cache before playing the movie so there may be a delay before the video starts playing. If you have a reasonably fast connection the default cache size of 1k seems to work fine. The only time it save the movie is if you have "Save then Play with GetVideo" selected from the menu.

If it's not working that way for you then hit the space bar after clicking the ClipDown button and resize the shell output window so you can see the command issued by ClipDown. It should say "play" at the end and not "saveplay".

So now it downloads a file to a correct place but I get message "FILENOTE: target not found" and it creates that new dir with empty name anyway. It looks like that problem is in the getvideo script.

What happens if you run the getvideo command right from the command line in a shell? On Aworld sundown said he went back to getvideo v0.17 and it worked again for him. I don't understand why I don't see the problem though. I double checked and am running v0.20. Hmmm.....

I had some problems trying to stream youtube with ClipDown. I noticed a couple of things.

You're using "run rx getvideo.rexx" ? I guess that background CLI created by run cmd has smaller stack size than what's required by MPlayer causing instability. MPlayer needs huge stack.
Do anybody know how to set default stack for all background CLI's ? (DOS prefs or Workbench prefs or something else ?)

Hmm....I don't have such problems on my system. Are you using CLipDown v2.3 and the latest version of MPlayer (see requirements in guide file). I set the stack to 500k when launching the getvideo command and I beleive the child processes inherit the stack size from the parent so I don't think that's a problem. My experience is that MPLayer will crash everytime with the system default stack of 8k. Anybody else experience this?

Quote:

I'm usually using a root level of a partition as download dir. I had defined a tooltype with "temp:". So ClipDown tried to download a file into "temp: /<blahblah>.flv" (notice a space char between ':' and '/') so it created a new dir with empty name and downloaded that file into it. It gave me an error message saying it can't save that file but saved it anyway (?).

Ah, it's becoming clear to me now why so many people are having problems with setting the tool types. I forgot to add the code that I have in in ffmpegGUI to handle if the tooltype setting includes the quotes or not. I'll put it on the list to add to a future version. For now don't include quotes around the SAVE_PATH tooltype and it should work. (ie. SAVE_PATH=Temp:) or (SAVE_PATH=Ram:Save me), spaces Ok.

Your tools is really cool but IMHO is a lot difficult to use expecially when you install it for the first time, the tooltype config is an hell for me

Sorry to hear it's difficult to use.

ClipDown was initially designed to just be a download assistant for OWB until it received it's own download capabilities built-in. Initially it only relied on wget being in the C: directory. I never really expected it to devepe into what is has now.

I chose to use ToolTypes and command line options for setup so it's easy to run multiple copies of ClipDown taylored for the specific program you want to use it with. (ie. different screens and options.)
In this case I think it would be more of a pain to have to start the program then change the options from a preferences program each time you wanted to use it with a different programs.

I know this can be a pain for some people so I tried to provied good documentation to explain all the options.

Quote:

not to mention the various deps with the other applications,

Well, if I didn't use existing programs it would take me a very very long time to code up the capability they provide built in and ClipDown would never exist. I did think about building in the getvideo functionallity but that would also cause significant delay and with gnash on the horizon to play flash videos I'm not sure it's worth the effort. wget, getvideo and MPlayer are all significant efforts and without them ClipDown would not exist. [/quote]

Quote:

so how about adding a proper Reaction GUI like the one written for Gnash ?

Sorry, I don't think I'm going to spend the time doing that right now. Maybe if there is a lot of demand but it wouldn't eliminate the need to install the dependency programs.

If you put the dependency programs in the C: directory there should be not setup required unless you want to set different options.

Do people find Shift-Clicking on a ToolType entry to activate or deactivate it or modifying Tooltypes that difficult? I'd like to receive more input on this.

Thanks guys! It's nice to know that all the hard work is appreciated.
I think OWB along with the various bookmark add-ons and ClipDown v2.3 now makes for a pretty decent browsing experience with on OS4. When gnash gets here it will be even better!

Thanks to all who have put in the hard work to get us this far!

ClipDown v2.3 has just been uploaded to OS4Depot with the following changes:

Version 2.3 (released)
Fixed bug where saving with getvideo would fail if save path had spaces
Added "Ask Save Location" menu item which can be toggled on/off.

Sorry for the frequent changes. I think I'm done for now unless a critical bug is discovered.

For people having trouble getting all the programs setup to run ClipDown, here are some simplified instructions:

The simplest way is to:
Put 'wget' into your 'C:' directory.
Put getvideo.rexx into your 'C:' director or 'S:Arexx' directory
Put 'MPlayer in the 'C:' directory.
Set ClipDown's VPLAYER tooltype like this: VPLAYER="C:MPlayer"

====================================================================

If you don't like everything in the "C:" directory then do this:

Install wget where ever you like.
Put getvideo.rexx into S:Arexx.
Install MPlayer where ever you like.

Modify the folloing setting in getvideo.cfg to point to the paths for MPlayer and wget
then put it in SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive:

Don't forget to uncomment the lines by removing the ';'.

;# here as examples the default settings
save_http = 'Volume:[path]/wget -c -O "%d" "%s"'
save_mms = 'Volume:[path]/mplayer >nil: -dumpfile "%d" -dumpstream "%S" -quiet'
play_file = 'Volume:[path]//mplayer >nil: *>nil: "%d" -quiet'
play_stream = 'Volume:[path]/mplayer >nil: *>nil: "%S" -quiet'

Modify the following ClipDown ToolTypes:

CMD_PATH="Volume:[path]/wget"
VPLAYER="Volume:[path]/MPlayer"

Added FILE_DOWNLOAD tooltype to start in FIle Download mode instead of Auto.
Changed gadget hint so it's much smaller, less annoying.

(Just copy play.arrow URL to clipboard and click action button in Auto mode.)
Added experimental .m3u playlist support in Auto mode. (CAUTION: Can't abort!)
Added Help menu for easy access to supported video sites and file types.
Modified 'Auto Select Action' so it now plays video for all the following sites:

www.last.fm
www.megavideo.com

Yes, saving the video works. But getvideo has had to be updated several times due to changes at YouTube. I think mplayer doesn't follow redirections (well enough anyway).

I think the problem is that YouTube keeps changing the way they address the videos. In any case I'm going to add a save then play option to the getvideo selection as it will be easy since get video already supports it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Haven't downloaded it yet but it sounds like a useful program,( especially for watching youtube Videos) I just hope its easy to use

It's very easy to use. Just copy the URL into the clipboard and click a button. Setup is a little more difficult but I included a Readme 1st file to try and explain it, so make sure you read it. The most difficult part will be setting up getvideo. It has it's own docs to explain how to do it and it is worth it.

One note on MPlayer. Make sure you get the version outlined in the Readme 1st file. The lastest version has a bug and doesn't exit properly which causes ClipDown to hang because it never returns. I'm working on a workaround for that now. The latest version of MPlayer streams files better than the older version.

After giving it some thought I've decided to launch the external programs as a seperate task. This means control to ClipDown is returned right away and if a video cannot be played the task just ends without hanging ClipDown. This will allow older YouTube videos to be played in auto play mode. This also has the benefit of allowing mutiple downloads to take place in parallel instead of just one at a time.

I've got a partial implementation already and it looks promising, although I'll have set a limit of one copy of MPlayer running at a time because Mplayer has problems with trying to run two instances at the same time. This also allows me to work around the problem of the latest MPlayer not exiting properly which is good because the latest MPlayer steams video much better.

I'd like some feedback. Do enough people find value in CliipDown for me to continue investing time into it?
