Re: [ANNOUNCE] zoutube a youtube browser and player now in extras-devel
 

Looks like there were api changes between 0.3 and 0.4. So it is a bug in zoutube's depends. I will add that for 0.1-8 which I'll upload a package for today. To workaround your issue do: apt-get install python-osso and it should update you to version 0.4.

Thanks for reporting the bug!

Thanks to everyone's feedback. version 0.1-10 is now in extras-devel. Differences it has from first version are:

Take best format available for playback
Allow choice between the different formats
Set progress indicator when downloading
Search support (start typing on main screen and press enter, it will use your text as a search query to youtube)
Stop screen dimming (though it seems to not work very well)
Change pause/play button to be an icon
Add download menu option on playback window
Add portrait mode and autorotation
The video list is now a thumbnailed list instead of a list of buttons

So it downloads the videos but are they automatically converted into another video format or do they stay in flv format?

Great app. I was expecting an official Youtube client from Google. But I guess the community is much faster. Now if only we can have the N900 on our hands...

They stay in FLV. This is no problem for the inbuilt-mediaplayer once it has been updated with the additional plugins (happens automatically when installing zoutube).

Now if only there was a way to log in and view videos you subscribe to. ;)

I want to get around to that, but first I want to make the video player widget better and more like the media player's one
and also improve experience when not on wifi as well as do some proper download management.

Maybe someone should write a download manager activatable by dbua.

I have had a really strange problem with zoutube since I started it. When I was on wifi, it would work perfectly. When I was on 3G, it would just hang when about to play the video. After a lot of detective work, I figured out that O2 was completely changing the youtube viewing webpage with a transparent proxy. This meant it worked on my wife's N900 as she is on Vodafone. So I had to add headers to force no caching. This made the pages the same on wifi and 3G for me.

Anyways as a result I just uploaded 0.1-15 to extras-devel and I finally pushed my git repository to github.

Is there a possibility for something similar for other flash sites? Youtube works pretty good imo, but some other sites suffer badly in the browser.

Either way good work, most definately a useful app.
