Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

i have that thanks

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

If you copy a video URL to the clipboard and bring up the search dialog, you should see this:

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I could make it 360 pixels high (instead of 270), which would benefit videos in 4:3 ratio, but since most videos these days are in 16:9 ratio, the extra pixels will often be wasted, at the expense of the info/comments/related section. I'm open to suggestions on which is preferred.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

is there another way to get this cute tube for the n9? it seems i am unable to buy anything from the ovi in my country which sucks in general.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

In ~/.config/cuteTube/cuteTube.conf I've set my cuteTube download directory to /home/user/MyDocs/Movies as I want to avoid cluttering the device with useless directories. I aim to have all my video files in the same place as I'm in opinion that video is a video anyway.

Videos are downloaded into ~/MyDocs/Movies allright, but the cuteTube itself is unable to play them (it needs a subdirectory named cuteTube for showing archived stuff). It's not a huge issue since I can use other players to watch the movies, but it would be nice to have ability to watch downloaded (and other) videos in the cuteTube itself.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

marxian, awesome work on cutetube!

Using the latest 1.4.4 version on my n900, i noticed that when I select mplayer as my renderer, multiple mplayer instances open when trying to watch a video. I tested other renderers (such as kmplayer which is a frontend for mplayer) and it only seems to happen with mplayer.

edit: interesting, upon restarting it no longer does this. I did just reproduce it by switching from 'media player' to 'mplayer' without restarting the program.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

i dont have that option :(

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

i got it now

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Hi, I installed 1.4.1 version. I noticed that audio download not working. is there a solution?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Download and install the latest 1.4.4 on the front page. Audio download should be fixed now (I've been using it).

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Not yet. I haven't found the time to set up an alternative. :(

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

cuteTube is not designed to play local videos other than those downloaded within the application. That's the purpose of having the subfolder. It prevents other videos being listed in the archive.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

It seems that the video launcher method is called twice (when using an external media player). It won't be noticeable with kmplayer or the stock media player, because these are called via dbus, so the existing instance is called again to play the video. mplayer is called using QProcess (it doesn't have a dbus service), so a second instance will be created if the method is called twice.

i have finally been able to do that. This is the outcome:

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

i get no connection to server when the videos open up in media player.it used to work not now after the latest update.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Dear marxian,

thanks in advance for Your wonderful app!
I was only wondering why the application is not in the maemo repository and thus why it is not directly upgradable to 1.4.4 with a simple "apt-get upgrade" rather than dowloading separately the app from ubuntuone and then installing it manually with dpkg...

Thanks in advance again!

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Autobuilder is not working so developers cannot release updates to the repositories ATM.
FYI it is best to use HAM when updating packages.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Dailymotion is currently not working, and not just through cutetube but on QDL too

they must've changed something

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Hi, I believe I have a bug file and a question:

The question is: Is the youtube login stored/sent somewere else than n900/Youtube? Is because I'm kinda freaked about security issues and if they are stored/sent somewere else is another possibility for security breaks and ykw...

The bug is: When I pause a download, when I restart, it will use the downloaded size in the calculation to look for the speed as in:
If I'm downloading something of 6mB and it says it will take 10min, and I pause it at the middle; 2hen I restart, it will say the download will end in 1s, then 2s, but never getting even close to 5mins. And it keeps wrong until the end, without noticing that it shoud've subtracted the already downloaded part from the equation.

That's it, thanks!

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Dailymotion playback/download has been fixed for the N9/Symbian versions (updates are awaiting QA approval), and will be fixed soon for the N900 version. I'm currently working on some other parts of the code, so once that's finished, I'll release the update. The QDL Dailymotion plugin is also fixed, so I'll update that this weekend.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The account username and access token are stored on the device in a SQLITE database. They are not sent anywhere else. Also, the YouTube access token is only valid for one hour, after that, it must be refreshed. In any case it can only be used along with the other credentials (client id and secret). The access token is not of any use by itself.

Yes, there are a couple of problems with calculating progress and eta for resumed downloads. The download code is completely changed for the next release, so those problems will be fixed. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

missing ffmpeg, I have searched it via FAM, but there isn't any package.
How to solve this?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

This is OT, but anyway, it's there in the Extras repository:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/ffmpeg/

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I install any of those packages, and it says incompatible

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

marxian, it's impossible to reinstall or remove cutetube version 1.4.4 (from openin post, *not* repos), using normal way. When trying to remove, following error appear:

When trying to reinstall:

It seems, that pre-removal script is broken.

/Estel

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks for reporting that. It seems that in your case the dbus call is made after the cutetubeevents binary is removed, though I'm not sure why that would happen at the prerm stage. I've added some checks to the prerm script to prevent it from happening in future.

Dailymotion search, it always says no videos found, whatever you search for. Accesing it by categories works, so playback is fixed now :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

A logical error in checking the language filter. :o Fixed in version 1.6.1.

Package for version 1.6.1 can be obtained from http://ubuntuone.com/2hpizfn2ZDxpQNwXDaVIq9

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I remember the comments on here last time xtube disappeared. didn't use it but for those who did, what was the reason?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The reason is to simplify code maintenance. I don't have enough time to maintain features that I consider low-priority.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Version 1.7.0 for Maemo5 is now available from extras-devel. Changelog:

New features:

• Added full Vimeo support.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Fair enough, might be worth mentioning this on the extras-devel page somewhere as the 1.6 changes are not listed there from what I can tell.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks marxian for your wonderful work!

However I downloaded the last version from extras-devel and I have a problem with the media player: I set KMPlayer as the default player and cuteTube hangs when I try to see a video. I can only stop the player with the power button, but then cuteTube shows me only the "buffering" system modal dialog box and no other actions on the GUI are possible. Only the reboot is possible with the power button..

Thanks again

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

So I'm guessing the QML version shouldn't be too far behind? :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The error is that the progress dialog is not dismissed when the video URL has been retrieved. Since it's a modal dialog, it cannot be dismissed by the user. I have fixed the error and will submit the update to the autobuilder shortly. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

BTW, any reason, why this dialog must be modal? Couldn't it be normal, cancelable one, that, upon dismissing, would cancel current operation?

I've other bug to report - but, this one haven't appeared in last version, it's present for some time. When traversing into videos tree (for example, entering video -> related -> other videos, their related, etc) and watching a video through cutetube player only first playback works ok.

Then, if cancelled (by back arrow), video stops OK, but next one is borked - sound goes "twice", echoing itself one or more times, and videos seems to appear and disappear on itself, too (maybe it's also played twice). Only one way to fix it, is gong back into main menu, or reversing back through video's tree many "hoops".

It isn't 100% reproducible on 2nd video, sometimes it happens at 3th or 4th playback - but, generally, if you watch few videos cancelling them, you will get hit by this bug for sure. I've tested it only with dailymotion, mind you.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I'm planning to implement it that way in future. :)

My experience is that the error occurs only when the video is played until the end. If cancelled using the back arrow, it doesn't occur for me. Also, the error only occurs when streaming videos. Local videos always play correctly. It seems to be a problem with QtMultimediaKit. I have tried one or two things, but so far I haven't been able to fix it. Popping a second window off the stack solves it, so it appears that Qt keeps the last popped window in memory, and only deletes it when an additional window is popped from the stack.
