Anyone Got ClipGrab v3.9.7 working?

Hi All!

I have used ClipGrab in the past, including the versions that worked under OS/2 / eCS / ArcaOS but not for awhile. So when I noted a new version available through the ANPM accessible respositories, I thought I'd download again and try it.

Through ANPM I installed ClipGrab v3.9.7-1 with all the dependencies it required under QT5 as well as other libraries which were not on one of my test systems previously. The installs seemed to go flawlessly, as I noted no errors.

Running Clipgrab, it took about 10 seconds to load. It then presented a dialog about downloading YouTube-dlp where the "Continue" button needs to be pressed in order to proceed. Pressing the button, the download did not start for about a minute, but finally the download bars appeared and when finished. the dialog disappeared.

However, going to the search tab and typing any subject at all brings up the animated search dots, but always ends with an empty screen with the default watermark "No Results Found".

Has anyone been able to use the latest version of our ClipGrab successfully and if so, were there any tricks or added dependencies required to get it working?

One thing I did note, was that every time I've started Clipgrab 3.9.7, it again attempts to download YouTube-dlp. If someone has got it working, is this normal behaviour or not?

Best of the day and weekend to all, as always!

Heh Pete!

So dependencies are involved. Read the Linus comments - the question are which and why. Will see if I have time this weekend to explore and Best of the weekend to you Sir!!

I either installed or updated it the other day but have never used it before... I just tested it.  I downloaded the youtube-dip and then searched and downloaded successfully.

Dave Yeo:
Possible youtube-dip (a youtube-dl fork IIRC) needs Python3 or some other extension. If you could run it standalone, you might see an error message. "python youtube-dip" on a command line. Could pass it a Youtube URL as well.
