I don't use "Download YouTube Videos as MP4" script because it doesn't work with old versions of Opera browser.
Also I don't use mplyer-plugin anymore. I use
ViewTube script,
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011and redirect url straight to commandline mplayer.
In
Opera browser:
I open using
Ctrl+F12 Preferences > Advanced > Downloads > video/mp4 > File typeI set
Open with other applicationaterm -geometry 4x1 -e /usr/local/bin/mplayerI also set
Pass web adress directly to application[I use aterm window, because sometime when I play flv files, mplayer suspend. Then I can simply close mplayer by closing aterm window.]
Tip. 5
If you want to listen to music videoclips without overloading your cpu, you can just turn off video processing. Using:
mplayer -vo 123 this will play audio only, just like in internet radio player. Your cpu doesn't have to decode video stream. But if you use
mplayer -vo null cpu will be overloaded by video processing and you don't see video, wasting your cpu power.
Tip. 6
On userscripts.org website, there's many other scripts that are useful for users who don't use Flash player plug-in. Especially for people with slow cpu.
