Bash script to utilize youtube-dl in accord to my own needs
This script retrieves URL from given user input or clipboard or primary (selection), attempts to extract a video, plays it and then asks the user whether to save it to drive or not.
When this script is not being executed via terminal, a simple GUI dialog will be made available for end-users.
Programs used are:
