kopurando / virga.app-youtube-dl-gui-for-os-x Goto Github PK

Hi,

superb work, you earned the hall of fame after having coded something like this in AppleScript... :)

I have 2 suggestions:

• The program could warn the user when going to download more than 1 link because downloads are unstoppable... Just a "Are you sure?" message would be ok.
• I see downloaded files are like "Title - youtube_xxx." or "Title - soundlcloud_xxx.", I think that there is no actual reason to keep the "- yotube_xxx" suffixes. This will save me from manually rewrite the files.

Thanks!

Do you have any instruction on how to bypass the require of my admin creds? I'm using the latest youtube-dl 2017.10.15.1.

Avast detected and quantined this app as a virus when I tried running it. Irk!

Hello,

I have been looking for macOS GUI's to download videos. Yours looks interesting. However, I've had some issues.

First is that the pbs command might need the "-update" option to work properly. The man page doesn't mention it but, I've found I get an error without it.

Second is that when I start Virga, I get a dialog asking me for the location of Google Chrome. I suspect that's because the code has this:

tell application "Google Chrome"

I don't understand AS well but, I think that when the script is run it checks the code, sees the "Tell" and hoping to avoid a future error, looks for Chrome. I've found the solution is to put "Google Chrome" into a variable (eg. google_chrome_app) and change that line to:

tell application google_chrome_app

Works for me anyway.

Third is that after cancelling that dialog, nothing happens. It suggests there is an AS error. When I try to run the Virga script in Script Editor I get this error "Expected end of line but found property". The error is on "tab" in this line:

tell application frontApp to set theURL to URL of active tab of front window

Hope this helps

Cheers.

Launching Virga on a system that doesn't have Google Chrome installed causes the standard AppleScript dialog "Where is 'Google Chrome'?" to appear. It would be great if that didn't happen.

some services, especially niconico, needs -u USERNAME and -p PASSWORD options to download these videos.
Please add some configration to use it for these sites.

Hi, where are files downloaded? An option for a donwload location or ask for default location would help.

Hello

Basically, the subject title... It was working a few days ago, and I LOVE this app. It's so lightweight and unobtrusive – a brilliant utility.

• Launching Virga causes the Mac to freeze for a minute or so (audio continues to play, and the cursor is still responsive, but no clicks or keyboard presses are registered, and the screen stays frozen)
• Happens when using with both Safari or Chrome
• I don't see any error messages
• Am using macOS 10.14.6
• I'd updated to Safari 13.1.2 (14609.3.5.1.5) a few days ago – is it safe to assume this has broken Virga somehow‽

Please let me know if I can share more info to help get this fixed! Thanks.

I use youtube-dl on the command line, but I installed Virga for a less computer-savvy relative. The first thing she did after I added the Virga app icon to her Dock was to click the Virga icon multiple times, which caused it to launch multiple times, and to display the "video or audio" selection dialog box multiple times. There was no Cancel button, so we could not cancel the erroneously-started downloads.

Hi all and firstly, thanks for this incredibly useful app. Recently (last couple of weeks), every youtube rip has terrible quality. maybe 64kbps - no more.

What might have changed and any ideas for fixing it? Thanks again!

Hi again,

sorry to report a new bug, but it seems it is not working with Safari.
When I open virga.app my Google Chrome opens (with a blank url) and the download fails.

Thanks in advance.

The virga app not working properly under "El Capitan", the popup box that asks for input e.g. video only, Mp3 only or both is not appearing. It starts downloading without the popup.
