The video will be downloaded.Īnother example, to call youtube-dl (Linux): Name: youtube-dl Now in SMTube, right click on a video and select uget. This player supports video sites: unchecked Parameters: -quiet -folder=/tmp -filename=%f %u The configuration, for Linux, is the following: Name: uget This is free download manager with versions for both Linux and Windows. You can add a download manager… in this case the video won’t be played, it will be downloaded… Actually you can add any kind of application, you are not limited to media players. So I can’t add any function to download videos from YouTube.īut this new version includes a configuration dialog that allows you to add more media players (VLC, Windows Media Player…). Those terms of use don’t allow to implement applications to download videos.

And you have to accept their terms of use. In order to use this API it’s necessary to ask Google for a “developer key”. Short answer: yes, but you have to configure it. You can download it from īut now people are asking “ is possible to download videos with this new version?” A new version has been developed, written from scratch. In this case the Youtube URLs will be passed directly to mpv, which actually provides an interesting feature: subtitles are available.ĭue to changes in YouTube, the old SMTube doesn’t work anymore. However it’s possible to disable SMPlayer’s internal support for Youtube. SMPlayer already had support for Youtube, so the Youtube URLs will still be handled by SMPlayer. The video will be played by mpv, which will use youtube-dl to get the real address of the video. You need to enable the option “Play video from streaming sites” in Preferences -> Network.Īfter that you only have to enter the URL of the video you want to play in Open -> URL. Performance is much better in SMPlayer (or any other player) than using the flashplayer in a web browser. Youtube was already supported, but now you can play videos from DailyMotion, Vimeo, Vevo and many more sites, just by entering the URL of the video in SMPlayer.

A new very interesting feature, thanks to the newly added support for mpv, is the possibility to play videos from many video sites.
