yaydl 1.4a
It's already been more than one month since I released yaydl
1.3.7, so it's time for a small status update. The attached preview
of the upcoming release already includes two main new features:
support for playlists and 1080p videos on Youtube. Please note that
these improvements aren't fully stable yet and might include some
bugs - so if you're a fan of rock-stable software, keep your hands
off this alpha ;-)

Lyrics fetcher for moc
As the newest alpha version of moc comes with the ability to display
song lyrics, I thought it might be a nice feature to fetch these
lyrics automatically. So I just cobbled together a few lines perl
code, that actually work pretty well. Nevertheless it's just a
quick hack with a lot of bugs, so don't expect too much.

HowTo: Convert Windows-style line endings to Unix-style (and vice versa)
Though there are some tools (e.g. dos2unix) available to convert
between DOS/Windows (\r\n) and Unix (\n) line endings, you'd
sometimes like to solve this rather simple task with tools
available on any linux box you connect to. So, here are some
examples - just pick the one that fits you best:
Windows to Unix:
#Shell perl -pe '$_=~s#\r\n#\n#' < windows.txt [> linux.txt] sed -r 's/\r$//' windows.txt [> linux.txt] #Vim :%s/\r$// :set ff=unix
Unix to Windows (do you really want this?)
#Shell perl -pe '$_=~s#\n#\r\n#' < linux.txt [> windows.txt] sed -r 's/$/\r/' linux.txt [> windows.txt] #Vim :set ff=dosDon't forget to save your file, when you're using vim.
