Hi. I recently published my app on Flathub and have been steadily updating it to make it better.
With it you can download Music from Youtube and tag it to create a beautiful collection of local Music. Check it out: https://flathub.org/apps/net.fhannenheim.musicfetch
You must log in or register to comment.
I am trying to use it, but when I download the music, nothing shows up in my music directory. I read the logs and saw that it is trying to move the downloads to ~/Music. I don’t have that directory, in my localization, it is ~/Música. I tried creating a symlink, but it did not work. Is there any way to fix this? I can share the logs if you want
Hmm. You can set the Download directory in the settings, by clicking on the settings button on the top left.
I didn’t anticipate Localized Music directory names
You should check the XDG_MUSIC_DIR environment variable. Most distros have it as a path to the users music folder.
It doesn’t seem to be set in the Flatpak container. Also .config/user-dirs.dirs is inaccessible.
I’ll probably have to request access to that file
Okay I’ve now pushed an update that fixes this issue.
Thanks it worked, great app!

Man alive. Play a record
Are you OK?

This is why we can’t have nice things.
The communityVocal members thereof, instead of seeing genuine effort as something praiseworthy always find the worst stupid angle to belittle well-meaning people from.I’d sure like to know where I belittled OP. The comment is factual, no judgments were made. Not by me anyway.
I’m judging the shit out of you now though.
for some reason
To make it easier to download and use I imagine.
That’s what things like deb and rpm are for, or scripts to download and compile locally.
Edit: thank you tomalley8342 for being the single person to reply with any basic sense. It’s a hell of a thing to thank someone for but with how stupid everyone else has made this comment thread I really do mean it.
yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).
Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.
Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.
Abandon elitism
Especially the made up kind. 🙄 The good news is lots of people here won’t show up in my feeds anymore.
