Using windows7, I had to back on virtualbox to the latest where all works:  7.0.22r165102 (taken from virtualbox archive - older build)
(I know, now win11 only is supported  ;D )

Hi!

I give it a try, it start but my upnp servers after a long time !
Files on the servers uses a long time to be displayed and finaly got it working....
What could be done to have a faster upnp server detection including display of folders/files on the server

Under windows, the server is detected + file list is available nearly 20 time faster !
Have some buffers to be adjusted or something else ? 

cfg:  ArcaOS --- upnp --- Metronome DSS (streamer/server) --- USB M.2 disk with audio tracks
Pictures show I'm controling the DSS, selecting tracks from on the M.2 USB disk and plying on the DSS (what is expected)

Ok, this " --newline --ignore-config --no-playlist --restrict-filenames -o %(title).200s-%(id)s.%(ext)s " corrected the latest issue
Thanks

Hi Remy

Not sure if you do this from readme...

How to install:

If you get error that it cannot download yt-dlp then you have to set in ?:\Home\.local\share\media-downloader\settings\settings.ini to NetworkTimeOutInSeconds=300
REQUIREMENTS

PYTHON3
You need python 3 to run this software, you can get it from the netlabs rpm, but sometimes there are a conflict issue to install this software.
The issue was listed here: https://mantis.arcanoae.com/view.php?id=3523

The trick to install python 3 is:
- In ANPM (Arca Noae Package Manager) go to "Available - RPM"
- Select "python2.7", "python3", "python-unversioned-command" and run "Install".
It will take some time while it obsolete some packaged and get the new ones.
After that you will be able to run Media-Downloader and will automatically download "yt-dlp runtime" that is required.

CONFIGURATION CHANGES
'By default, youtube-dl and its forks create files that are in title-id.extension format and what you seem
to not want is the id part and you can remove it by doing the following:-

On OS2 we cant have utf8 filenames, and we need to stick with ascii, that's why we need to
add --restrict-filenames

- Go to Configure tab.
- Go to Engines's Default Options tab.
- At the Engine's Name drop down list, select an engine you want to change its option.
- At the "Options To Add" text field, add  --newline --ignore-config --no-playlist --restrict-filenames -o %(title).200s-%(id)s.%(ext)s
- Click Add.
- Right click the newly added entry and then select Set As Default.
Now you won't get an error while trying to download the file.

The python 3 from official repositories is 3.9 and doesn't work due mediadownloader requires 3.10 as minimum level.
>> python 3.12 is available on experimental repository only

Will try your suggestions
Thanks

I progressed (give a try on python 3.12)

Now, trying to download a video, I have:

YouTube extraction without a JS runtime has been deprecated, and some formats may be missing. See  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS  for details on installing one

Will it work with python 3.9 ?
How to safe install python 3 without disturbing python 2 under arcaos v5.1.1 with valid Arca noae support ?

Sure. First try python --version to see what you have installed, here,
Code: [Select]
H:\tmp>python --version
Python 3.13.2
if you need to install Python3, IIRC, "yum install python2.7 python3" then "yum update"

Hi,

I was at python 2.7.6
I run suggested commands and it ended correctly.
After update, I have python 2.7.18 + 3.9.21

Rum mediadownloader and this time, I've got a message telling min supported python version is 3.10 ! So, this version is unsupported by Arca Noae support...
I think the the readme into mediadownloader should be updated including minimum requirements about python 3.10 and cmd line to upgrade from python2 to python 3.


python 3.12 is on experimental repository !
I suppose

Hello

In my case MediaDownloader_5-4-5.zip is working for me to download YouTube Files.

I also have Python 3.13.2. When it runs for the first time, it downloads "yt-dlp" first and I guess it uses python to get it. It also requires ffmpeg to create the video file in your hard drive.

Regards

I think you did settings or have additional options installed !
e.g. bsdtar libarchive-os2 ?  where did you get it etc...

Of course, I have my
AOS 5.1.1 at latest level including ffmpeg
Default python and only this one is installed is python 2.7.6 (so, it isn't compatible and media downloader requires python 3.xx !)
Only Python 3.9.xx is available for install but it look creating a lot of problems to install and I didn't install it now until it is possible to install it without trouble from under anpm
Python 3.13.2 is not available from under an official depository !

I think that installing python v3 may desactivate arca OS support  help !   

mediadownloader should not be distributed without the correct python prereqs

I thought about buying a second M2 SSD and put it into this machine. As far as I read this should work and I've planned to do that anyway. But quick search turned out the prices are now nearly double at they where a month ago. So have to wait until they drop down again.

Btw. I have a desktop system with two NVMes inside. Running here as my main machine. Didn't have a problem with them when trying ArcaOS installations.

Hi Andi!

Try here, works good and at lower price.

I bought a few once and all are very good and low power use.

Hi Richard.

If you want to add Workspace On-Demand to your list that will be great.
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=IBM_WorkSpace_On-Demand

The lastest version of IBM WorkSpace On-Demand for OS/2 was version 2.0. I always wanted to make it run, but it never worked for me. The idea would be to have one server with Wsfeb + WorkSpace On-Demand, and have one dumb workstation (thin PC) that will boot OS/2 Warp 4 desktop from the server.

Regards

Hi,
