Programming and Scripting :: Script for downloading Youtube videos

I copied the script to a file called "rip" , and ran "rip [the youtube URL]"; produced a "wget --n invalid option" error. No doubt, I'm missing something obvious.

Usage: wget [-c|--continue] [-q|--quiet] [-O|--output-document file]
[--header 'header: value'] [-Y|--proxy on/off] [-P DIR] url

That's probably due to the wget from busybox...

-nv
Non-verbose - turn off verbose without being completely quiet (use -q for that), which means that error messages and basic information still get printed.

Should be safe just to remove it.

I did have full wget.. That seems the right solution for busybox version

Doesn't matter; the script doesn't work even with the full wget installed. I don't know much about mktemp, but I tried it with that and directing to a file 'mktp'

EDIT: Problem was those little single quotes around mktemp didn't copy correctly; things almost working, although:

=> `mktemp.flv'

I had this fully working.. But I personally haven't tested on DSL.
Those aren't single quotes, those are "backquotes" meaning the output of that command will be there:
VAR=`mktemp` VAR will have the output of mktemp
VAR='mktemp' VAR will have "mktemp"

I'll edit it for DSL needs. The link will stay the same.
