You lost me on that one - if it doesn't play in Media Player, how does it play from Archives? CuteTube internal player?

And, how the "doesn't play in "Media Player" manifest itself, exactly?

@pichlo- the cutetube player supports more video types than the stock player, from what I've seen. I tried playing AVIs and FLVs in the stock media player and got the "You can't play this type of file on this device" popup. I'm betting this is what happens to you also? The nice thing is you can still play these files in cutetube, though. Is there a reason you need to play them in the default media player?

They are all MP4 files. Some of them play in MP, some don't. I can convert them to MPG with ffmpeg but the quality suffers.

Organization. I have a bumch (hundreds) of cartoons for the kids organized in folders by the show name. It is rather inconvenient to go to CuteTube just to play a cartoon, not to mention that CT does not know folders.

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

I don't think it's about lacking format support. pichlo, could you try to:

Code:

killall mafw-dbus-wrapper

...and check if "unplayable" video starts OK afterwards?

Otherwise, it may be good idea to ask in Open Media Player, for a way to get debug info. Also, are you using OMP?

@kapu2 - if you're getting message about unsupported video type for .flv, then you lack some gstreamer plugin (sets). It works fine here. Using mplayer and friends you're just doing whole decoding on CPU which (in some cases) may result in more battery drain.

As a rule of thumb, there shouldn't be any format type that you can download by cutetube, that isn't possible to playback via Maemo's media player.

I've tried moving, but it didn't help. I didn't really expect it to, really, because the jpg that was created is named (1).jpg (after I downloaded the video again, cutetube created (2).jpg). In /.thumbnails, the jpg's names match the video file names, and since my video is not called (1), it doesn't look like it will work. In any case, the user shouldn't have to move jpg's manually, no?

The video does appear in the Archive and it plays, it's just that the thumbnail is incorrect (a picture of a film reel, which I guess is the generic thumbnail in cutetube).

An interesting observation today.

About half way through the 20-odd items long download queue. CuteTube is the only app running. CPU maxed out, device unresponsive and getting quite hot. According to top, the two CPU hogs are tracker and cutetube. Then I noticed something curious:

Attachment 35119

Yes, that's 3 (three) instances of the same thing, all updated simultaneously.

I brought one of them to full screen and clicked the blue back arrow in the top right. CuteTube went back to the main screen as expected. This is the resulting applications view:

Attachment 35120

Yes, that means one of the windows is in the main screen, the other two still in the download queue view. I happened to take the snapshot at just the right moment so you can also see the "download finished" notification in one of the windows.

Is this normal?

The regex needs to be changed in the source code. I'll do it for the next update.

If it helps, the video I was downloading was the highly popular clip of a pig trying to eat a camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrxPuk0JefA

It did not, BUT then I followed the CSSU-Thumb official upgrade which brought back a few previously removed packages and that fixed it. I don't know which one was the crucial one.

Funnily enough, the problem still reccurs from time to time. Downloaded video plays in Media Player once, twice, five times, then out of the blue stops playing although it keeps playing fine in CuteTube. Killing mafw-dbus-wrapper as you suggest helps in those cases. Which makes the issue OT in this thread, sorry.

This is from observation only so marxian may want to correct me. All paths are relative to MyDocs/cuteTube:
1. Downloading a video foo creates files foo.mp4 and .thumbnails/foo.jpg.
2. Dowloading foo again creates a copy named foo(1).mp4 and (1).jpg (note not .thumbnails/foo(1).jpg as one might expect).
3. foo(1).mp4 does not have a matching foo(1).jpg in the .thumbnails subfolder and thus it is shown in Archive with only the default thumbnail. So downloading it again is not going to help.
4. Deleting a video from Archiive deletes foo.mp4 but not .thumbnails/foo.jpg.

I have managed to reproduce your issue like this:
1. Download foo, creating foo.mp4 and .thumbnails/foo.jpg.
2. Delete foo, deleting foo.mp4 but leaving .thumbnails/foo.jpg behind.
3. Corrupt .thumbnails/foo.jpg (e.g. truncate it to zero bytes).
4. Download foo again: voila, no thumbnail in Archives!

Your use case may have been different but I would start by looking into your MyDocs/cuteTube/.thumbnails folder for leftover files.

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

My case may have been slightly different in that the first download only partially succeeded, and then I repeated it. I wasn't suspecting a bug so I wasn't paying attention. I can confirm that it does create (1). jpg (note the blank space, if it matters) and subsequent downloads create (2),(3) etc.

However, even with the correct jpg in place, cutetube will not show the thumbnail. Here is the listing as proof:

Code:

/media/mmc1/cuteTube/.thumbnails $ ls Camera\ falls\ from\ airplane\ and\ lands\ in\ pig\ pen--MUST\ WATCH\ END__.jpg 

Camera falls from airplane and lands in pig pen--MUST WATCH END__.jpg

/media/mmc1/cuteTube/.thumbnails $ ls ../Camera\ falls\ from\ airplane\ and\ lands\ in\ pig\ pen--MUST\ WATCH\ END__.mp4

Removing (1) .jpg didn't help, either.

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

Are you sure the .jpg in .thumbnails is valid? Have you opened it in a picture viewer?

Obviously removing (1).jpg won't help. However removing Pigs_Can_Fly_Etc*.mp4 and .thumbnails/Pigs_Can_Fly_Etc*.jpg followed by a new download might. As might renaming (1).jpg to Pigs_Can_Fly_Etc.jpg and moving it to .thumbnails, overwriting the one already there.

chill

2014-05-25 19:15

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

Correct and correct! The original .jpg was corrupt (how did that happen?) and replacing it with the renamed (1). jpg solved the problem.

Either the server returned invalid JPEG data or there was an error writing to the file. Because such errors are non-fatal (the thumbnail is downloaded after the video download is completed), the download is not marked as failed.

Not at the moment. I received a request for it recently, so I'll be looking at the possibility of implementing it soon. The stumbiling block is that not all media players support live streams.

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

Just a little request that buggered me for a while - is it absolutely necessary, that every new version of cuteTube (no matter if it's a "small" bugfix-release) overwrites configuration to default? It's surely not a showstopper and I can live with it, but I'm just wondering if it's done on purpose, or effect of some overlook.

Thank you for your awesome work on cuteTube,

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

Update. :)

Version 1.10.0 is now available from extras-devel. I've promoted it to extras-testing too.

Changelog:

* Support for internal/external URLs in descriptions.
* Support https scheme for URLs.
* Multiple connections for downloads.
* Option to download subtitles.
* Bug fix: Possible error in naming downloaded thumbnails.
* Bug fix: Thumbnail not deleted when deleting videos from the archive.

Incomplete transfers (including uploads now) are now stored in an XML file (/home/user/cuteTube/transfers.xml), and the downloads table will be deleted from the database. As a result, any existing downloads should be completed/cancelled before updating.

You can choose the video formats for both playback and download in the settings. Disabling all the optional formats will result in the lowest quality format being used.

Progressive download may be added in future, but it would require quite a bit of work, especially if you want to maintain the ability to seek to different parts of the stream.

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

I have another issue, if you don't mind. The movie lengths in the Archive are not displayed correctly. Some are longer and some too short; I can't see any correlation between the displayed and the actual times. The lengths shown after a search or during playback from the Archive are correct.

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

@Pichlo see previous posts. I mean downloading the video and playing it simultanesly or buffering the video even when paused so that it can be watched on slow connections or else regular streaming in slow networks is just like a slideshow with music. :) i used to watch videos fluently over the network using the awsome coreplayer in symbian i could just start downloading a video and play it with coreplayer sure i can do the same in maemo but if you reach the end of downloaded stream it stops you need to restart it or worse something happens and it wont play again etc. The feature is also available in older s40s and some androids by default you can download and view simultanesly.:) Pocpcorn time xd

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

Re progressive download: I think that on slow connection, you're better off with downloading video (to the archive), than streaming it. With 2G (or any other slow connection), you need a buffer the size of whole video to watch it smoothly :rolleyes:, which, incidentaly, you get when you just download it.

I don't see any real benefit of having "progressive download" feature, considering the above.
