Thanks for the great plugin, can't live with out it
I made an update from your source with some QoL changes, I hope you don't mind! (forgot to include yt-dlp in my former post)- Changed so that yt-dlp now handles searching for video sections (no need to download full video anymore)
- Due to the change above, you can get footage of any hour-long "long play"/"let's play" videos in just a fraction of the time.
- Removed "EndTime" and introduced "Duration" in its place
- Some naming scheme changes and refactoring

It doesn't work. It doesn't download anything. I don't understand why you do something you haven't even tried before.
dont have time to test all problems, so sometimes i just mention what i would try. i did say in the post it might not work.

Love this plugin and works like a champ. I'm having one slight issue though. Whenever I download a video with it, it always downloads at a maximum resolution of 720p. Is this a limitation of grabbing videos from Youtube? I have the best quality available option selected. I also can manually set a video for it to download by setting a path to it in the game's settings for LaunchBox. Still won't download greater than 720p even if it's pointed directly to a 1080p or higher video.
I will have a look in the morning (about 12hrs from nw).
edit: it seems 720p is a yt-dlp limitation yes. try downloading ffmpeg. you can download it by ticking the trim videos checkbox. if that doesnt work you can download it manually and put it in the vidsnap scraper folder.
might still not work, but definitely worth a try

good to hear, thanks👍

I must say this is by far the best plugin for Launchbox and deserves more attention.
There are three things, that would make it even better imo:
1. I don´t do a full run on a whole system because you would want to check if your keywords and timings fit sometimes and do it step by step with may 5-10 games in a row. But then, the Timings and Keywords are not saved and "Trailer" is not really my keyword of choice, I get better results by simply adding the system name + gameplay/longplay for example. It would be great, if the last search parameters would be saved.
2. A per-game Preview-Window before downloading would be nice for quality control. Once you´re satisfied, you script starts to download and shows up the next game/snap. And if you are not satisfied...
3. ...a "next suggestion" or "+/- 30 Seconds"-Button for the next best video would be nice.
Still, even without that, this plugin saves sooo much time, thank you! 😃
@totoro I thought I replied to this earlier but I don't see my post so i must've not submitted it.
Anyhow, I'm glad you like it and it's a pleasure. With regards to your suggestions:
1. I think this is a great idea, and have implemented persistent settings in version 0.4.7 which I've just uploaded. I might add a "reset to defaults" button in the future also. Please have test and see if it works ok.
2. I think this is a good idea also, but would require quite some work to do, so I can't make any promises that this would be implemented anytime soon.
3. If I do decide to implement #2 then this would be implemented at the same time.

@Zazamastro I've uploaded a new version as it seems download speed was crippled in youtube-dl. not sure what the reasons are, but for me it was about a 10th my line speed. Simply switched over to yt-dlp which is a fork of youtube-dl with some extra features, and seems to saturate my line. give it a try and see if it works better for you, or let me know if there are any issues.

I forgot to label the one file as source/master, my bad.
As for it being slow, I seem to think so too. I recall it being much quicker. I checked with an older version because I know when I added the trimming it changed things a little, but even the older version is slow.
Or maybe its all in my head and it was always slow, but Ill definitaley investigate.

Seems to still be working my end. It seems to be slower than it used to be🤔.
Anyhow, are you maybe not mistaking this with "Youtube Scraper" by srxz as that was what "Vidsnap Scraper" is based off of:

O ok, I'll have a look and post an update when I get a gap so unfortunately no eta

Hi, this is still in development? It would be really helpful for the community to have a YouTube working scraper that can automatically search trailers and download them.
I guess so. Is it not working anymore? or are you looking for more functionality

Hey,
I'm glad that someone picked up the project, ive been really busy and couldnt fix the plugins that Ive made, Thanks @maikeru86.
Would be good to post the source-code as well if possible.
No problem, its a pleasure. I started with your code and not knowing anything and ended up changing quite a bit so I've kept a similar name as homage to the original.
I only posted here on suggestion, but I actaully still feel it should be tested and improved (by me or others), thats why I originally posted it in the "3rd party applications and plugind (Developement and Beta Testing)" section. I've posted the source there as well. see below:
but yeah, i'll post the source here too to get more eyes on it maybe.

Hi There,
Try replacing the yt-dlp in the plugins folder with the latest version:
