Help fixing clive
Clive is a media download script that runs on command line. It was working until two days ago. Today it isn't. I didn't install or update anything except some winetricks stuff. I get this error now:
Checking ... .. .. libquvi: error: /usr/share/libquvi-scripts/0.9/media/youtube.lua:121: no match: url_encoded_fmt_stream_map Clive seems abandoned so I guess I'm on my own. I had a look into it and couldn't fix it myself. Does anyone here want to try? |
I installed "clive" from the Fedora Linux repo. No matter what command I try, I get this error:

I also have youtube-dl, but I hate it because it's too slow, it always performs some lengthy and annoying conversion that takes a long time while clive did none of that. And it's failing with one particular video I've been trying to get and I'd like to try clive on it. It seems that youtube-dl downloads it, but then some conversion fails and it produces a 48k file out of a 240Mb mp4 file that obviously does not work. I used the -k option to keep the mp4 file, and that file only plays for about a second. Your example with pure quvi works for me, but not with the video I am trying to download. It produces that same error that clive was generating. Then I tried clive again, this time on your video and... it works! So there seems to be something wrong with the one video I was trying to download specifically. I've tried three times and it failed every time, so... I guess I'll have to give up on it. Looks like there isn't anything wrong with clive yet. That's good news because I would hate to rely solely on youtube-dl. Not sure if I should mark this as solved. Thank you for your assistance. |

read the documentation (mine has a nice long man page). you really, really want to use youtube-dl for this (*). it plugs straight into mpv, and mpv in turn can plug into smplayer. (*) but it needs to be updated constantly because of race with youtube, so installing from repos is not so good. the downloadable standalone has a -U switch. |
