Nice tool ... a few CLI addition to the article

Since this is a "command line interface" article, why not download the script using wget (or curl)<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...




You can still check the md5sum, but it's probably unnessecary since wget is unlikely to munge the download like browsers sometimes do. It's a good idea if you are paranoid, however (which you should be<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:) ).



Also, you don't need to install the script as root right away<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... I'd suggest testing it out first, then installing it in<nobr> <wbr></nobr><tt>/usr/local/bin/</tt> if you want to install it system-wide. It will run just fine from your home directory.



Finally<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. you can play your newly acquired videos using mplayer:

<tt>mplayer videoid.flv</tt>


Ta-da !!!
