Ubuntu 20.04 ClipGrab hangs when loading information about the video

I'm having issues with ClipGrab getting stuck on "Please wait while ClipGrab is loading information about the video ..." every time I try to download a video. I installed clipgrab from source and I also tried this solution to use the .AppImage instead. It doesn't work either way. I'm not sure what's causing the problem here. Is it something related to youtube-dl? Would appreciate any troubleshooting tips/help with this, thank you.

Usually the youtube-dl on Ubuntu derivates are not updated as often as they should.

I've written another (simpler) GUI for youtube-dl, that uses the latest youtube-dl available:

In case you are interested, look here

Else you could uninstall youtube-dl with apt and install the actual one using this script

Took a while to figure out, but I found the solution at least in my particular case. When checking my python version I get this:

$python --version

Command 'python' not found, did you mean:

  command 'python3' from deb python3
  command 'python' from deb python-is-python3

I know i have python2 and python3 installed, but it's not showing up in /usr/bin/python After some searching I figured out the issue. ClipGrab is expecting python to be in that path, but it's not there.

Solution:

sudo apt install python-is-python2
sudo apt update

This will install the package python-is-python2 and there's a python-is-python3 as well. You decide which one you need, but for me the first option worked. ClipGrab is now working for me. The solution was to get a link setup /usr/bin/python -> python2 which is what that package does. Anyway I hope this helps anyone that builds from source.

For more details on the package type sudo apt show python-is-python2 in cli.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
