UMPlayer can be downloaded and installed by adding the Webupd8 Team UMPlayer PPA. Among umplayer's many features is a YouTube search field and options to download videos. Do this by opening a Terminal and entering the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/minitubeĪnother choice would be UMPlayer, which is simply a tricked-out frontend for mplayer.

You can install minitube in Ubuntu by adding the official minitube PPA. MiniTube will also let you download the video you are watching and save it to the directory of your choice. It allows you to search YouTube without using a web browser and also allows you to watch YouTube videos without having to use Flash. The best program I have seen that can do this is MiniTube.
