The script require youtube apy key on config.php
And Curl installed on server

You can use
<pre>code</pre>

or
<code>code</code> tags :)

*** i can’t post a less than symbol, so change the lt in that command to a less than symbol

echo “Title ${nv}”
wget “${uf}” -O ${tmp}.flv
ffmpeg -i ${tmp}.flv -r 30 -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 1500k -s 320×240 “${nv}.mpg”
mv ${tmp}.flv “${nv}.flv”
rm ${tmp}
exit

If you want to use the flv from your own apache server you’ll need to add

video/x-flv flv

to /etc/mime.types and restart apache, then go and get flash_flv player from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/upload/flash_flv_player.zip

unpack it, put flvplayer.swf and flvplayer.html on your site with the .flv, and modify flvplayer.html appropriately

#!/bin/bash
bu=”http://youtube.com/get_video.php?”
tmp=`mktemp`
touch ${tmp}.flv
read -p “YouTube url? ” ur
wget ${ur} -O ${tmp}
uf=${bu}`grep player2.swf ${tmp} | cut -d? -f2 | cut -d\” -f1`
nv=`cat ${tmp} | grep ‘h1 id=”video_title”‘ | cut -d “>” -f 2 | cut -d “
