Hello All,

Loaded up= Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.01-x86_64.iso on USB stick a few days ago ...

Having a gas with it, SO fast, doing all I want, BUT looking for=
-Burner software MODULE
-some way to dl youtube and or ALL vids MODULE

Do ALL modules load/work once placed into porteus/modules folder?
Or must it be a module specifically for CINNAMON-v5.01-x86_64 ??

Not all modules work this way correct?? These ones don't seem to work
-xfburn-0.6.2-x86_64.xzm - did not appear in menu or work
-yt-dlp-2022.01.21-x86_64-1smt.xzm - did not appear in menu or work

Are there more modules which work in xfce version?? I change to this?

No, I have never mastered the art of package/module making!!
I know I should but ...
:sos:
Thanks + Have nice day

Hello max2004. :) Welcome to the forum.

Modules put in the porteus/module folder activate when booting. To use/test before booting right click on them in the file manager and select Activate. :happy62:

it depends, literally, on dependencies.
xfburn is most likely missing some dependency(ies) not included in cinnamon
here's what salix lists for it deps: https://download.salixos.org/x86_64/15. ... 64-3gv.dep
in particular: libxfce4ui,libxfce4util
for cinnamon, brasero might be a better fit: https://slackware.nl/slakfinder/index.p ... e=#results

yt-dlp-2022.01.21-x86_64-1smt.xzm - did not appear in menu or work
you can get the latest yt-dlp via > menu>internet>Browser Selection and Update tool.
it is a terminal program so there won't be any menu item, so in a terminal:

Code: Select all

yt-dlp --help
omg that's a lot!
can be as simple as:

Code: Select all

yt-dlp https://yourfavoritesite.vid/somevideourl
which will typically grab the largest format available,
otherwise, first check what formats there are:

Code: Select all

yt-dlp -F https://yourfavoritesite.vid/somevideourl
what you want is the number or code at the beginning of the line of the chosen format.
then:

Code: Select all

yt-dlp -f <code> https://yourfavoritesite.vid/somevideourl
the video will appear in your current working directory, typically /home/guest is where you'll be when opening a terminal.

Probably better to change to xfce ... most modules geared towards?
Should learn about dependency checkers.
Yes, yt-dlp was there all along ... got that one figured.
Wanted something to DL ANY vid ... similar to IDM, is there an IDM module?
Xfburn still not working for me.
Ran Slack before, always used K3b ... must be a module out there ...
I find if you keep on punching something will happen.

Thanks for the help.

yt-dlp can download from quite a lot of sites: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/m ... edsites.md
and https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/F ... -by-yt-dlp
be sure to use the latest version.
alternatively, for a gui type, there's this appimage: https://clipgrab.org/

for troubleshooting xfburn, try running it from a terminal and share the output here (this goes for any package)
K3b can be easily got from slackware with: (as root)

Code: Select all

getpkg k3b
but, outside of kde, it'll need quite a bit of kde.

Just checked it out ... converted to Porteus 5.01 xfce ...
Very happy now. Thanks for the modules link.
Thought I finally had K3b, but this is not it=
CD, DVD and Blu-Ray burner: k3b - https://www.mediafire.com/file/gmovmhr0 ... 0.xzm/file
How to respectfully notify the Module_Maker ??

:hi:
Just quickly - exec "pmod -m k3b" as root (create k3b module) and use this module together with my kf5libs https://archive.org/download/porteus-mo ... killer.xzm if k3b won't work and if I will have free time, then I will try make this module.
