Slightly customized version of ClipGrab (http://clipgrab.org/)
ClipGrab is a GUI frontend for youtube-dl.
See README for build instructions if you are building yourself.
Unless you want to hack on the code, I would recommend downloading a pre-built AppImage file.
You'll need to make the AppImage executable, then you can run it:
# Set version of ClipGrab. As of Oct 31, 2021 latest version is 3.9.7
CLIPGRAB_VER=3.9.7
# Change directory to ~/Downloads and download latest AppImage
cd ~/Downloads
wget "https://download.clipgrab.org/ClipGrab-${CLIPGRAB_VER}-x86_64.AppImage"
# Make downloaded AppImage executable
chmod +x "ClipGrab-${CLIPGRAB_VER}-x86_64.AppImage"
# Run it!
./ClipGrab-${CLIPGRAB_VER}-x86_64.AppImageIf you find this software useful, please consider making a donation.
Pre-compiled packages for ClipGrab are available on https://clipgrab.org But compiling ClipGrab is really easy!
You need to install the Qt5 developer libraries in order to compile the program.
On Ubuntu and Debian-based system, you can install the necessary libraries like this:
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qtwebengine5-devOther Linux distributions might have slightly different package names. Packages for Windows and macOS can be downloaded here: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.12/
In addition, ffmpeg (no developer libs necessary) and python needs to be installed: Ubuntu 20.04 requires python-is-python3:
sudo apt install ffmpeg python-is-python3To compile ClipGrab, simply execute the following command:
qmake clipgrab.pro && makeThis will create an executable "clipgrab" that you can start via ./clipgrab.
