It's thanks to lunatics like you that Linux will never succeed as desktop OS. I bet you put CHMOD in your resume.

>>58344255
We're talking about a simple program here you retard. You don't need a fancy UI to download videos and audio files from youtube. It's light and efficient.

youtube-dl or jDownloader 2

>>58343995
You can use the -x flag to get audio. RTFM you faggot.

Don't listen to this autists. All you need to do is enable Stereo Mix as a recording device and then use Audacity to record the audio and them export it to whatever format you want.

It's simple, fast and has a GUI. That's why this autists aren't telling you to do it this way.

That has to be the worst fucking thing I've ever heard

Are you mentally disabled?

Yes, please help.

youtube-dl is the best out there.
Takes 3 seconds to rip whole channels in original formats.
-f bestaudio+bestvideo

>>58343850
flashgot plugin for firefox can get the job done and you can chosse the quality of the audio the most symple way to get the job done

>>58344048
So write ONE script to find the audio and execute the other command, you can even drag and drop after that.
Fucking plebs.

You are welcome to develop your own GUI based tool for downloading YouTube videos.

youtube-dl is not a Linux program. It's a cross-platform script written in Python. Funny enough, the post that you had initially quoted, complaining about it needing two executions to get done, was of youtube-dl being used from a Windows command prompt.

How do you install AtomicParsley for youtube-dl?

>>58349090
grab a fork

>>58351475
But i'm not hungry

>>58351500
you're not going to use it for that. grab the fork and a toaster.

Did youtube change the UI?

>>58344255
>gui based OS

>>58343850
Dump the video file in highest quality, then use ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -c:a copy output.m4a

>>58351624
yes

>>58351817
Why?
The new UI is taking more memory.

>>58351820
Because they're complete idiots

Every time I start youtube-dl i get a command prompt for a split second and it closes automatically. I use windows 7 SP1. WTF is going on?

>>58351935
The problem is that you are using Windows and that you are a retard.
I assume you literally fucking downloaded it and clicked on it. When the script is done it closes itself, and windows launches a terminal to execute the script, and closes it once it is done.
Open a terminal in the folder and open it from the terminal you fucking faggot.

>>58351954
Enlighten me without insults

>>58351979
Welcome to /g/.
Here in /g/, we are computer literate and prefer to use GNU/Linux because it is superior in every way.
Since your IQ is lower than my farming level on runescape, I'll explain it in baby steps.

Youtube-dl is not a program that uses a GUI, it is a Python script that outputs to a terminal.
You require Python to run this script.
Now put the youtube-dl program in a position that is easily reachable from the windows command prompt, like in C:\ or something.
Open your start menu and insert "cmd" in your search bar.
Click on the fucking cmd thingy
Go to the directory using "dir" and "cd". Pretty sure it's jut "cd C:\" or something.
Insert the name of the program if it's in exe form, or do "python [program name]" to execute it.

Congratulations, my Runescape farming level went up by 1.

>DIRECTLY rip the audio quickly from a YouTube video
I use Youtube-dl. But apparently, after reading this thread, I am autistic or retarded or both.

If you are using a web browser like Firefox then seach their addons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

You will find a ton of addons that will do what you need. Once upon a time I used an addon called FlashGot. I know it will download the audio only formats from YT. But I don't know if it can extract the audio from a container (ytdl does this by calling ffmpeg).

>>58343850
By DIRECTLY fucking off.

If I use youtube-dl to download videos, does it still give the uploader views?
