On other sites and with Coreplayer it's not so fast, but still very simple (with CorePlayer you also don't get playlists, but it still is the best if you want to watch HD clips). Do it again with other videos and you'll see how easy it is to create a playlist (so you can keep track of what you have watched/listened to). So on youtube (and for VLC) it comes to a simple sequence of "command l" "command c" "alt -" "command p". FlashVideoReplacer and DownloadHelper really come in handy here, especially when dealing with embedded videos. Coreplayer accepts only links to video files and will freeze otherwise (not a big deal, just force quit). Elsewhere you will need the link to the actual video file. Be careful! On youtube (and only on youtube) VLC will accept the link to the video webpage. For example I've assigned "alt -" to VLC and "command alt -" to Coreplayer.įor the scripts to work you have to copy the video url in the clipboard. Assign a name and a keystroke combo, then click on create. Click on file and select the script you have just created. Download a cool little app called Spark from here: Now we will create shortcuts for these scripts.
Tell application "CorePlayer" to activateĬhoose a location on your hard drive and save.
So I tried to automate the copy and paste process of the video URL from browser to external player. I don't even want to compare it to CorePlayer. FlashVideoReplacer on Tenfourfox is good for that, but Quicktime, while being a lot better than Flash, still is a bit of a resource hog when compared to VLC. I like to listen to music from youtube while surfing the web. Also, I'd like to know how these work in Tiger with older versions of VLC. Now, I'm a complete noob with Applescript, so I hope you can help me improve/expand them. I'd like to share two very simple scripts I have created to watch videos on an external player.
