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

is there a saved searches option?

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

Really nice work. But...at the risk of this becoming bloatware...how about the ability to upload videos from the N900, since cuteTube already has us logged in to our account anyway?

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

To prevent this or give user better use experience. Some suggestions:
- Better threading of processes? (probably quite hard to code.)
- Add "more" button to end of list that launches query (user experience is probably better this way {because it does it when user wants it} even thought it still stutters when loading)
- Or popup loading icon animation to user, no interaction during loading.

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

a wonderful app for the great n 900...

but....

i cannot download any video from youtube.... pressing download adds video to download-queue.(download immediately is activated) ... then later i switch to the download-section where the video is listed.... there the status ALWAYS is FAILED..... what a pity...what am i doing wrong??? need help to solve this problem..

thanks

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

Qt doesn't seem to emit any signal when the last item of the list is reached, which if true means there is no way of automatically appending results.

I personally prefer the 'more' button in the menu, so I'm going to leave things as they are, unless there is a consensus on a different approach.

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

It has always been my intention to include video uploading, so it will appear at some point.

I have added a 'recent searches' function to the latest build.

Can you give me some examples of videos that you have tried to download?

I tried downloading a couple of those, and they worked fine. Are you able to play the videos?

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

Wonderful app!
Can you plz also introduce a 'Replay' button...................so that it doesn't start buffering again( that happened when I tried to push the cursor back, to replay the song) ?

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

There is no buffer storage at the moment. The application just passes the video URL to the media player. This will be changed in the future.

It could be a problem with the download folder that you have chosen. Try running the program from xterm by entering:

You should get an error message in xterm when you try to download a video. If you can report the error message here, I'll try to help.

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

A great app. Really appreciate the effort you've put into this mate. Love it.

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

This is a MUST have app!

Congrats!!!

thanks alot

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

Darn you marxian...you you.....

You battery drainer you. How dare you make this great app so that I waste more time on youtube...

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

Ok so i just now installed kmplayer and now the videos play flawless!!! :D
The vids that used to always buffer every few secs now played without a single buffering, AWESUM!!!
Btw, can kmplayer play downloaded 480p vids, cuz i tried and nothin happened...it cudn't play it i guess, so can it play or not???

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

It might be possible to play 480p with one of the available backends. I don't think performance will be very good, though.

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

I haven't been able to download the app yet from devel because of conflicts/problem with the package python2.5-qt4-network and python2.5-qt4-webkit. What would cause that?

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

I don't know, to be honest. You could try removing those packages and then reinstalling them after installing cuteTube.

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

cuteTube 0.9.2-5 is now in extras-testing. Please test and vote here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...etube/0.9.2-5/

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

Adding -cache 8192 to the mplayer command line fixes the problems with stuttering for me. Also with -lavdops skiploopfilter=all might just allow you to watch 480p videos if you are overclocked, but with a significant drop in quality.

A problem I am having is mplayer is not responding to keyboard input when launched by cutetube. Is anyone else seeing this? I have built my own version of mplayer so it could be a problem with that.

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

The mplayer keyboard input works fine for me. I'm not willing to introduce any experimental attempts to play 480p, because it will result in too many complaints from end users.

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

I have now managed to implement this. I'm still testing at the moment, but if all is OK, I will release a new build with this feature.

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

the recent search feature is nice but could you please add an option to clear the search strings as well

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

Really enjoying this app after a couple of days of using it.

My fav features:
- Easy access to full YouTube functions (Subscriptions, etc.)
- Higher video quality than web-browser YouTube

Thank you!

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

I have a problem. I have many subscriptions and cuteTube doesn't load the videos list ("Latest subscription videos" button) and the list of subscriptions is partial. With another account (few subscriptions), cuteTube works well.

(Sorry for my english)

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

to author: it would be amazing if you could fix this issue in next verion.

1. video playback quality 800x480 or Original size
2. video downloading quality to 1080p
we wont be in need of any youtube downloader on PC right away we can download vidoes or documentery in its original size 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p whatever
thanks

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

He probably meant an actual "more" button at the end of the results.

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

He requested automatic appending of results in an earlier post.

I've implemented the automatic appending of results in the extras-devel build (0.9.3). It's slightly jerky, but I'll be improving the algorithm today, so it should be very smooth in the next release.

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

Is there any chance you could add an option to forward a youtube link to the media player? Sometimes I get links via chat and youtube's heavier than cuteTube on the CPU.

Thanks :)

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

Wouldn't it be easier to use the youtube-dl/ytstream script for something like that?

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

By default, the YouTube API only returns 25 results, but this can be increased to a maximum of 50. I'll do this for the next release. I'm not sure why you are not getting the "Latest subscription videos" feed. I'll look into it.

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

hello every one,

first I should thank marxian for this great application but there is a little problem.

Why cutetube does not return result when the search keywords are in arabic? while mediabox does return result if searching with arabic keyword.

Do I need to do some thing before I run the application.

again thank you for this app.

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

Yes but how do I pass it to the mediaplayer?

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

You can use this command:

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

It must be a string encoding issue. I'll look into it.

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

@marxian

Can you take a look on this? It would be great if cutetube could convert a downloaded .flv video to mp3.

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

I would think that conversion chores should be a separate application. And marxian already has plenty of feature requests from us greedy users to keep him busy. Lets not take advantage of his generosity.

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

Conversion tasks are too CPU intensive for an application such as this. I would imagine that it would seriously impair performance during the conversion process.
