Thanks! I was just looking for something like this, wanted to get some cool Honda engine sounds, and maybe a bit of Ecstasy of Gold.
[Reply]
I am not able to play the audio on rhythm box or Mplayer. Any suggestions?
[Reply]
Thanks. I actually got it working.
[Reply]
cool, fast and easy… In the Ubuntu way…
[Reply]
Thanks a lot!

Yet another useless piece of software … Open the Youtube site, and after the download is complete do
ffmpeg -i /tmp/Flash /path/to/where/you/want/the/file.mp3and you’re done[Reply]
Can this rip ‘HD’ version of YouTube videos?
[Reply]
mplayer -dumpaudio nodame_theme.flv -dumpfile nodame_theme.mp3
[Reply]
Will there be HD Ripping in the next Version? PLS

No package for Intrepid?

UTube is really a very useful application, but after downloading I am not able to find the downloaded file by browsing, as you have shown above. Please help, as to what to do.
[Reply]
I’ve tried using this program but it doesn’t seem to want to work. I’m using Ubuntu 9.04…I put in the url, clicked convert and it says that its completed and in the ~/utube folder. However, when I go into that folder it says that there are zero files in it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
[Reply]
I have the same problem as Sean above… file is not downloaded, even though it says download complete. Using ubuntu 9.04.
[Reply]
I have Ubuntu 9.04 too and I have similar problem, but trying to download a few more times, somehow it worked. S. and g. - try to clear directory, while downloading or “fake downloading” (you know what I mean:)) check the directory, if there is a temporary file then it’s all ok and the video will be downloaded successfully.
But it’s not always working, so the problem is not solved.
[Reply]
Ha, if you give the flv file name “video” and place it in ~/.utube converter will work in 100%
and you can download from YT in thousands of ways (example: UnPlug)
[Reply]
Problem, when i click to open it from the Accessories > internet > utube ripper. it says it is starting, then goes away and it never opens. running ubuntu 10.4 lts
[Reply]
For these of you that are not familiar with the runtimes in Ubuntu, this application is built to run under the gambas runtime environment.Depending on the configuration of your package manager(QTdebi,etc), this dependency may not be installed automatically.To do this,go to the Synaptic Package Manager, search for Gambas and install all it’s components.As an application built to run on the gambas runtime, a missing component for gambas will mean missing orr malfunctioning application components.
[Reply]
I downloaded and installed it and all the Gambas packages so now program opens and says it saved but nothing. I am running 10.10 please help. I am a musician and really want this to work
[Reply]
Unfortunately, this just does not run on 10.10. I have installed all of the Gambas packages and corrected the installation so the directory structure is in sync with the menu.
If it helps, running from the command line, I can see:

This sits there forever until I kill the application.
This looks like it could be a really useful tool so I hope you will be willing to sort out a fix.
Cheers

Same here, 2 files are written to the .utube dir ,url.info and urlsrc.txt but these disappear as soon as the download is finished leaving the directory empty.

[Reply]
Right I have tried and it will not work I am using ubuntu 10.04 and it wont read the file for the installation
any idea’s?
[Reply]
UTube ripper is a Youtube-Downloader wanna-be which sometimes does not work at all.
USE “ClipGrab”, available for all distros, easy to install, looks great and has a lot of features.
It simply works !

ClipGrab is totally useless. I tried it but the mp3 convertor function doesn’t work on Linux machines THe mp3 convertor only works on Intel Macs according to their website.
GlibCrap for all I care.

As I said: it works as in download and convert to mp3 / mp4. What converter?
[Reply]
10.04 needs gambas2
sudo apt-get install gambas2
[Reply]
when will it be available for 64 platform ?
[Reply]
Install youtube-dl
youtube-dl http://youtube.videos
install ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i video.flv -ab 128 song.mp3
gives you a 128kb bitrate mp3
install sox Sound Audio Exchange
and you can readjust treble bass gain
and do lots of other things with all kinds
of audio files.
