I realised that smtube isn’t configured correct to work with youtube-dl. The fix: Open smtube-view-preferences-player and andd an entry for youtube-dl with this code included:
-e youtube-dl %u -f 22 -o "/tmp/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s". This will save the files in your tmp folder.
I wasn’t able to create an audio download only option which also doesnt work.April 14, 2020 at 7:02 am #34667Forum Admin

::It’s not a bug – it is the default.
Thanks for the info though, I’m sure it will help users who need this feature.

::Well if its default (legal issues?) why is smtube and mps-youtube preinstalled at all? I doubt that this software has many users anyway.
I think the software which is preinstalled should work without any issues. If it doesnt, take it out of the distroApril 14, 2020 at 8:09 am #34672Forum Admin

::Ok, so should we take out all the other apps that are not per-configured for every eventuality?

::Certainly not. If you find any bug in fundamental software like the office programm or browser it still has to stay until until you find a better software.
But smtube is a software with very little use to most users.
I don’t want to insult anybody. So far i like antix otherwise i wouldn’t write in this forum.
But i dont understand why this is inculeded and why there are options in the contextmenu available that don’t work.April 14, 2020 at 8:22 am #34674Forum Admin

::Don’t use smtube then.
There are plenty of other options.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

::Certainly not.
But i dont understand why this is inculeded and why there are options in the contextmenu available that don’t work.Because smtube is used on lots of linux desktops that ship with a variety of media players.

::I ll probably will never use it anyway. I just wondered what additional feature this programm might offer to me. Thats why i tested it.
The most fundamental feature to me seems to be the download of youtube Videos and this didn’t work out of the box.
When you say thats default setting and not a bug i wonder why the developers don’t delete the download option.
I don’t want to make any fuss about this. Just think it’s not the best promotion for a system if you have to do a research because the default settings are wrong.

::smtube is included mainly as a player of youtube videos, not a downloader.
It is included on antiX because it uses far less resources than playing youtube videos via a browser.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
