Télécharger une vidéo sur Pluzz sous Linux? Video DownloadHelper ne sait pas faire, la vidéo est disponible sous Silverlight 2 Live Smooth Streaming, la technologie Windows anti-Adobe, qui n’est pas vraiment (!) adaptée au monde Linux, ni aux solutions courantes, développées pour lire les vidéos Adobe Flash (détails techniques ici). Mais c’est possible en ligne de commande avec youtube-dl:

sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2014.03.10/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

tvdownloader devrait aussi pouvoir rendre le meme service mais je ne l’ai pas testé. La CLI c’est si simple!
