Vodman enables you to save videos from popular sites such as Youtube or Twitch to your device.
Simply copy the URL of the VOD to the clipboard. Then, open Vodman and use the pull down menu to start the download.
Decided you didn't want a VOD after all? No problem, cancel the download and optionally delete the file.
Vodman uses youtube-dl or clones and can download from any supported site.
The sources are available on GitHub, translations on Transifex.

Sorry to bother you again, but i get a lot of "Access denied" before the download starts. Do we need an yt-dlp update?

Since a few days I'm unable to download YouTube videos, other platforms like vimeo are working. I guess a new release of yt-dlp might solve this. I only get version 2022.11.11. Is there a solution?

Thank you for your feedback. I have updated yt-dlp and the app to go along with the changes in yt-dlp's output format.

Have you ever thought of aarch64 edition?
Vodman is one of those apps, which keep me still on 32bit with my XA2.

Since one of the last updates of SFOS Vodman complaints about missing yt-* and when I click download, the message is: python not found. But on my commandline it's found. How to solve this?

This is due to Jolla enforcing application sandboxing by default on 4.4. I have updated the application to disable the jail which seems to work for now.

Just as inspiration (nothing to do with vodman perse): Fishtheke uses mediathek's web apis and archive.org https://github.com/zwieberl/harbour-fishtheke/blob/master/src/apis/media...
Different use case, obviously, but I found it a nice set of abstractions for downloader.

have you tried copying the binary to /usr/share/%{name}/lib ? This can work even with sandboxed apps. I managed to get jolla to permit access to ffmpeg and ffprobe (with the Compatibility permission) which probably won't last more than a couple of years.

Then you should file a bug report with one of the projects. Vodman delegates all downloading to yt-*

Does the download still work with youtube-dl or yt-dlp?

Hi, thanks a lot for this tool, I use it on a daily basis. Since a few weeks the download is pretty slow and i heard it is because of youtube-dl, there seems to be a bug. But because of many... problems with layers it was tagged as inactive. But maybe yt-dlp is an alternative?

I am in the progress of adding support for youtube-dl clones to the application.
Meanwhile, I have replaced the youtube-dl binary with yt-dlp (which gets misrepresented as youtube-dl). Please give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

Kindly try out version 1.2.6 to see if it works for you.

youtube-dl seems to support m3u8 just fine (with or w/o ffmpeg). Looks like the app doesn't handle m3u8 downloads properly.
I'll have a look.

I am guessing you installed the app via storeman? There seems to be an issue which causes not the latest version of the app to get installed but the outdated service components.
Please uninstall all vodman related components from the command line as storeman leaves some of them installed.
Repeat the 'rpm -e' command for anything vodman you find. Once you are done you can try to install the app from Jollla store or try to use storeman again. I have removed the legacy versions of the application, after a refresh it should install fine from storeman.
Cheers,
J
