yoump3

I've recently downloaded yoump3 to get my video from youtube converted into mp3 on my hdd, but strangly even if I change the directory of yoump3.conf it doesn't convert the video to mp3, see output:

[root@myhost etc]# youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2QX_XP1zeU&feature=BFp&list=WL73D8359255A34A36&index=2

[3]+  Done                    list=WL73D8359255A34A36

yoump3.conf

directory = '/home/mazax/yoump3'

Only thing it does is downloading the video into my /etc/*.flv

I've checked abit the source code in hope to understand a bit, but I'm not so cool yet.

Suggestions? It looks like the 2nd part of the code doesn't execute or I really don't know, there is no real instruction files.

Re: yoump3

You see, the bash shell uses the ampersand character to denote a command to be backgrounded. Since the url has 2 of them in there, it understands that as being 3 separate commands, the latter 2 being variable assignments. In PHP, the & represents the difference between 2 variables sent through POST. For youtube the last 2 variables aren't necessary to find the video, so try the command again without them.
On a separate note, why are you running this as root?
