maemo.org - Talk - [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client

I've been having problems with the filesystem on my N900. The permissions are set incorrectly on the cutetube.py file, so it won't launch. I'm sorting it out now. :)

here is the desktop file it works set it like this, open cutetube.desktop on /usr/share/applications/hildon and overwrite and paste all of this

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Version=0.1

Type=Application

Terminal=false

Name=cutetube

Exec=/usr/bin/python '/opt/cutetube/cutetube.py'

Icon=cutetube

Type=Application

X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

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

cutetube 0.9.0-8 now in extras-devel. I had problems with the file system on my N900 last night, and I messed up the permissions on the cutetube.py file.

2010-11-23 10:13

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

maybe still some file permission problems?

I updated to cutetube 0.9.0-8 and it keeps closing randomly BUT if I open it from terminal with command python2.5 cutetube.py it doesn't crash.

.edit
argh i dont now remember that were i root when I run it from cli.

Of course! I left the '<' and '>' characters in the search terms. Doh. I'll change it. It also means I can use string formatting rather than concatenation.

As for the random crashing. It is stable when using

Code:

run-standalone.sh /opt/cutetube/cutetube.py

but crashes randomly when executing via the .desktop file. :confused:

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

I admit I have not had time to read this thread. Well the first version did not open and the newest just keeps crashing...so that is progress, I guess the next version will open and not crash...does look like a nice app once it is ironed out.

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

Great application. But I confirm crashing when launched from Desktop. Crashes unexpectedly(while downloading, while viewing video). When launched from command line, seems to work correctly. Maybe some environment python-sensitive variables?

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

I installed 0.9.0-9 from the devel catalog.
It starts from the icon just fine. It also opens internet connection.
Just great!

Note that you need the X-Osso-Service line only if you actually use osso services. Including that line in the .desktop file without proper handling of osso events in the application will result in the application being terminated shortly after startup.

I'll make the necessary changes and upload a new build shortly.

OK. I've tested it, and it works. I can't believe how many hours I've wasted, when it was something so obvious. I even flashed the eMMC.

The new build is in extras-devel now. :D

I owned a HTC Desire for a short while, and the only things I missed after selling it were the GMail and YouTube clients, so I'm hoping I can go some way to addressing that.

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

excited test this out, but got kind of a noob problem.
when trying to update there is a problem with conflicting packages,
the python2.5-qt4 network and another python2.5-qt4.

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

I have no idea if you could do this...pretty much the only time I want 3g is for youtube. Any way to make an option to switch to 3g when watching or downloading a vid? Or just have a checkbox to have the app enable 3g on start (if avaolable) and disable 3g on 0p close?

That should be possible. Currently, the application enables 'any' access point, which I assume will be a WiFi connection if available. I think I can obtain the list of available access points using DBus, and provide an option in the settings to select your preferred default connection. cuteTube can then attempt to connect to that access point on start-up.

Switching connection before playback/download would lead to performance issues IMO, because you would need to wait for the switch before even beginning to pass the stream to the media player.

Yes, you need version 0.9.0-10. It's in extras-devel. If you do an update, you should find it.

Do you mean closed completely or minimised? When launching the media player, the task manager switches to the new window, and minimises the cuteTube window. I'm not sure if I can control this behaviour. I'm going to write an internal player anyway, so no task-switching will be necessary at that point.

@marxian
I cant express how awesum u r....U ARE REALLLLY AWESUM!!!:D
Upto this moment i was using one of the earlier builds, b4 it was uploaded to extras-devel and was very stable...Now this new one is better in terms of streaming as i barely had any buffering on a vid that was fast action and Im downloadin a torrent on my network pc at the same time!!!
So i confirm again, this build 0.9.0-10 is very stable and perfect!!:)

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

2010-11-23 19:06

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

Ok well the buffering problem still occurs in some vids, but i think u mentioned b4 that it is all dependent on youtube server how it streams...but still one suggestion:
Is it possible for the video to keep buffering/loading while u pause it so if a specific vid keeps on buffering every few secs, we can pause it for a min or two and then watch the hwole vid without it stopping to buffer???

It's there for those that want to download videos at 720p to play on other devices. The feature was requested, and I included it. There's not much I can do if PLBKAC. ;)

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

Everything is OK. Except you still have a problem with most viewed. Not to be an idiot but this means a lot. I would like to view the most viewed instead of most viewed per month, And I don't think you have to set it to "today" instead of "month". All the new music videos are on top.

Thanks. Errything else works just fine. Downloading especially. Can you make mplayer stretch the video when you open it? Some videos are 2.35:1 by default, but some still don't fill the screen.

THANKS A BILLION TRILLIONS

QUESTION: Where do I get 0.9-10? Testing?
