Download resume prompt not accepting input #33

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If I download say, fifteen youtube videos at the same time using 15 
iterations of the script simultaneously, sometimes some of the downloads 
won't complete. So i run the script again when this happens, and it says 
that it doesn't think youtube explicitly allows resume function, do i want 
to try to resume (y/n)? However, anything I type into the terminal when 
prompted for a y or n will cause the program to stop after saying 
y: command not found.

To reproduce, download a video, cancel download halfway through, then try 
to download again. 

On an unrelated note, if there's an irc channel or mailing list I don't 
know about where people can discuss ways to use the app, like in scripts to 
download whole youtube channels, download video urls from reddit rss feeds 
or ways to incorporate it into greasemonkey scripts, I would love to know 
what it is. This is such a powerful program but I often feel like I'm not 
taking advantage of its full capabilities because I'm not a programmer.

This is why the --yes option is there.. We could maybe add some support for 
realizing
it has been backgrounded and then default to --yes, not sure if that would do 
what
people want though. It might be an idea though (e.g. wget does similar by 
carrying on
downloading when your terminal dies).

As for mailing list, there is one, but it's not really used aside from 
somewhere to
send commits (http://groups.google.com/group/get-flash-videos), there's no other
subscribers besides the developers at the moment, feel free to use it if you 
like.

IRC could be interesting, I've joined #get-flash-videos on freenode, we'll see 
if
(m)any people turn up, I have a feeling it probably won't get enough traffic to 
be
useful.
