That solved it!

 

Thank you for your super fast solution.

 

*update

Unfortunately it would seem that although this initially fixed the issue, it now seems to be a problem again. The search works fine now but there are no results after selecting the audio. Notifications are working but not the actual download.

Are you saying that the download doesn't show up in the downloads folder, or are you not able to download the file at all?

All audio downloads first get downloaded to a temporary file located at "/tmp/luxinate_temporary.part" then this file is converted and saved to wherever you've specified downloads to be saved.

So to test if your downloads are working try having a Finder window open in "/tmp/" when you start a download. If a file luxinate_temporary.part shows up then your downloads are working and it might be either the conversion command or a specific download path you've saved. 

For me to figure out whats going on I would recommend entering

open /tmp/

into your Terminal and then running a download. Then post a reply telling me if you saw the luxinate_temporary.part file be created in the /tmp/ directory. This will help me get a grasp on what is messing up. Thanks!

Awesome workflow. Thanks for your work and sharing.

Unfortunately luxsafari ► audio when a youtube video is open it only shows the google search.

All other actions are working. Is there something I can do?

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick fix for that.

Thanks for the bug report, Ill have to fix that in the next update.

The way I have luxsafari and luxchrome setup takes the "audio" or "video" parameter and filters the open tabs by what is available for download.

So downloading audio from youtube using luxsafari doesn't work in this update.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Next update will fix this bug. Thanks for the feedback!

Really impressive workflow, love it. Thank you.

Unfortunately luxsoundcloud does not seem to work for me, after entering any letter after luxsoundcloud it reverts to a simple google search.

 

I have the latest version.

Thank you for the report. I was afraid that that the way I set up the SoundCloud search wouldn't work for everyone.

If you could open up your terminal and install the SoundCloud directory to your machine by entering...

sudo pip install soundcloud

This should download the SoundCloud API directly to your machine.

If the pip command doesn't work for you, then try this command instead.

sudo easy_install soundcloud

Let me know if this fixes the luxsoundcloud option. Thank you.

Wow, fantastic update!!! This workflow just keeps getting better and better 

 

Also: thank you so much for implementing the default-format setting! 

Your very welcome! And thank you guys for the support you've shown to this workflow.

Any new ideas and suggestions are welcome.

New update is out as well.

In this update I added the ability to search through SoundCloud for songs to download and fixed many bugs.

Thank you again!

/Volumes/Storage/Downloads/

I would suggest updating to the newest version and then trying the download again.

Since your saving to a volume it might be a problem with permissions of the drive. Other than that there shouldn't be a problem with the download.

*** Major Update ***

I have included a option that allows the user to check whether there is an update available for Luxinate.

This will keep the amount of times I have to modify the forum post due to small essential updates.

Please report any bugs to me via this thread.

Thanks for your support!

Just a notification to everyone using the workflow.

The LuxPlaylist download audio option is broken in the latest release.

This will be fixed within the next week.

Downloads don't seem to work with me.

 

1.) I set the downloads folder via luxsettings to the desired folder

2.) I download a song, lets say lux https://soundcloud.com/goldfishlive/goldfish-one-million-views

3.) I get a notification saying the song is being downloaded

4.) I get a notification saying the download is completed

 

But the song is not in the folder I specified in step 1, and after searching for several minutes I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

 

Anyone else having a similar issue?

Can you please give me the path to the new downloads folder you set in luxsettings?

It may contain characters that I didn't know should be supported for console use.

Nice workflow! Any change to get bandcamp on board as well?

As of now, youtube-dl's extractor for Bandcamp media is basically broken.

Luxinate can download Bandcamp media if:

1. The URL is similar to this "http://brove.bandcamp.com/track/alone"
2. The song is listed as free on Bandcamp
3. The webpage refers to bandcamp, not some other site

Sorry that I can't fix this to work on all media available on Bandcamp.

If youtube-dl's extractors get updated Ill make sure to find a way to modify the extractors for Bandcamp.

Luxinate version [3.4.1] is out and available for download!

New updates include:

1. YouTube video title query feature
2. Playlist download feature
3. Ability to set default download formats for video and audio
4. Many bug fixes

This version may still contain bugs (especially with the new features)

So if any bugs are found, then please notify me immediately via this thread.

Very useful, thank you.

 

Hi Ritashugisha!

 

Since you've been asking for feature requests... I understand that the workflow will always download the highest quality version, no matter what format. I personally always want the same format and I use luxadvanced to make sure I get that (and not some other format, even if it is a higher quality version).

Maybe it would be nice if we could set a default "favorite" format, so that we can skip luxadvanced to make it even faster if we want a different format for whatever reason, we could still use luxadvanced.

 

It's just an idea, but it could be useful to people like me who always want the same format (highest quality mp4 in my case).

 

Thanks for your continued work on this!

 

Good suggestion. I had this feature in mind a while back but never thought anyone would want to mess around with custom downloads that much.

Your feature will be in the next update!

Got it ! Reinstalled the workflow. Working like a charm.

Thanks for your awesome workflow + support.

Your welcome! 

If any ideas for future features occur to followers of this thread, please post a response!

Just updated to the newest version. 

This workflow is getting better and better 

 

What is luxadvanced supposed to be doing ?

 

Changed the keyword to "luxa", typed "luxa", got a please wait subtext, nothing happened.

Only got my three fallback searches.

"►luxadvanced" is meant to only be used as an action modifier to the default "lux" option.

Let me explain how "►luxadvanced" operates.

When you enter a url into "lux" you get 1 or 3 options...

When the action modifier is applied to one of these options, "luxadvanced" will start.

I believe that the default action modifier key is ⌘. 

After selecting the option you want while using the action modifier key you should see a window that resembles this...

In this loading window, the original "lux" is saving the data to a temporary text file and then prompting Alfred 2 to search for an option named "►luxadvanced".

For this reason, "luxadvanced" must be named "►luxadvanced".

After "luxadvanced" reads the text file with the data, it will generate options specific to the data supplied, then it will prompt the user to pick one of these options.

Selecting one of these options will allow you to download custom formats of video or audio.

So to fix your problem, change your keyword "luxa" back to "►luxadvanced" so that Alfred can find the option successfully.

Then if you want to engage "►luxadvanced" just use the action modifier key on a default "lux" option.

Update is available

• Fixed custom download folder bug
• Added download history setting
• Increased download speed by using youtube-dl's -f option

Thanks you for your explanation.

 

I like the idea "Let's keep it simple when using youtube-dl via Alfred"

So the workflow is as smooth/fast as it absolutely can be.

 

Can't wait for the next update 

The new update is available. Please notify me of any bugs via this thread.

Awesome. Thank you. 

 

What do you mean by "put your path inside of the "formatSpaces()" definition" ?

I see three "formatSpaces()" definitions. Sorry, newbie here   

 

About youtube-dl: I was thinking of an action modifier linked to one option. 

For example: an Alfred user would be able to set the following preferences:

-"When hitting Cmd+Enter, I download the video in  the highest quality format available". 

-"When hitting Alt+Enter, I download the video the X format".

 

youtube-dl options look more interesting when using the shell. 

So for example:

If I wanted to set my downloads to be saved to the path "/Users/ritashugisha/Desktop/LuxinateDownloads/"  I would modify line 45 to the following:

On the other hand, if I wanted downloads to go to the directory "/Users/ritashugisha/Desktop/Luxinate Downloads/" (notice the space between Luxinate and Downloads) I would modify line 45 to look like the following:

As for your idea with action filters, I have made plans to create an advanced downloading process in the next update.

youtube-dl's options are vast but limited at the same time. Post processing options as well as authentication options I tend to stay away from.

Using FFMPEG the way I need it to be used is much faster and effective than using youtube-dl's built in post processing.

The theme used in the demonstration is Rayless by Humanoidism. You can download the theme here.

How do I change the directory the files are downloaded to ?

How can I change youtube-dl options to better fit my needs (i.e. always download the highest quality format available)?

Thank you.

Future versions of Luxinate are going to include a settings option that will allow the user to...

• Set the path downloads are saved
• and more... (Suggestions are greatly appreciated)

As a temporary fix to your problem:

• Open the workflow folder for Luxinate
• Open "LuxinateProc.py" in a text editor
• On line 45 change the global variable DOWNLOADS to the path where files will be saved

(If your path includes spaces, then put your path inside of the "formatSpaces()" definition)

To change youtube-dl to fit your needs requires some background knowledge about youtube-dl itself. 

If you want to know more about youtube-dl I would recommend reading this as well as the source code itself.

To answer your question "(i.e. always download the highest quality format available)"

youtube-dl defaults to downloading the highest quality available as stated on youtube-dl's FAQ.

Thank you for your feedback!
