mika’s advent calendar – day 6: clive

clive is an open source command line tool to extract videos and to bypass the need to use Adobe Flash in order to view user-generated content available on video-sharing websites. It supports Youtube, Google Video, Dailymotion, Guba, Metacafe, Sevenload and Break.

Its usage is as easy as:

% clive 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goTaNrLsny8'

    If you use bash, your clive command is operating as expected. But if you use zsh, i noticed that you have to escape the question mark (\?). This behavior might be a result of my zshrc but others may come upon the same problem. % clive http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=goTaNrLsny8
    BTW thanks for this nice advent calendar.
