my zoutube not working and that's all i can say i hope it get's fix soon .

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

I have attached my modified file to this post, unzip it and transfer it onto your N900.
Install rootsh if you not already have and open the terminal window.
enter the following commands exactly as shown (they are case sensitive).

sudo gainroot

cd /opt/zoutube/

mv zoutube ztbackup

(if you have transferred it using mass storage mode without putting it into a subfolder, the following should work)

cp /home/user/MyDocs/zoutube ./ (don't forget the dot)

chmod 755 zoutube (to make sure the permissions are set correctly)

And you are done.

                '35/640000/9/0/115',  # 640x360

                '18/512000/9/0/115',  # 480x270

                '34/0/9/0/115',       # 320x180

                '5/0/7/0/0',          # 320x180

        ]

Seems like we might have a problem right here. You see zoutube prints out:

"formats available: ['34/640x360/9/0/115', '5/320x240/7/0/0']" (random sample)

While none of these are included in format_priorities.
This seems to result in variable 'format' never getting a value. Then again I haven't read the whole code.

Part I'm refering to:

Code:

        for wanted in format_priorities:

            if wanted in formats_available:

                format, rest_ = wanted.split('/', 1)

                fmt_id = int(format)

                available.append(fmt_id)

edit1:

I managed to get the quality selector to work. by changing

Code:

        format_priorities = [

                '22/2000000/9/0/115', # 1280x720

                '35/640000/9/0/115',  # 640x360

                '18/512000/9/0/115',  # 480x270

                '34/0/9/0/115',       # 320x180

                '5/0/7/0/0',          # 320x180

        ]

Code:

  

        format_priorities = [

                '22/2000000/9/0/115', # 1280x720

                '35/854x480/9/0/115',

                '34/640x360/9/0/115',

 #               '35/640000/9/0/115',  # 640x360

                '18/512000/9/0/115',  # 480x270

 #               '34/0/9/0/115',       # 320x180

  #              '5/0/7/0/0',          # 320x180

                '5/320x240/7/0/0',

        ]

Only "bad quality" will show up, that is due to the line:
" if fmt != 22 and fmt != 35 and fmt != 34:"
fmt=18 is still missing. Could be a broken parser.

edit2: Can somebody confirm that fmt 18 isn't even included in the webpage source? Seems like it is a default option and it is available format for all videos.

edit3: If that's the case then
line 176-178

Code:

 

            else:

                formats_available = []

        print "formats available: %r" % (formats_available,)

        # This is the proritized list of formats that zoutube will

should be changed to:

Code:

            else:

                formats_available = []

        #add the default format (18)

        formats_available.append('18/512000/9/0/115')

        print "formats available: %r" % (formats_available,)

        # This is the proritized list of formats that zoutube will

edit4: Included an attachment with patched zoutube(from 0.2-3) file and the patch itself for closer inspection.

Refer tho's post for installation instructions. (remember to thank him!)

Only problem is that' it's a blit slow to load page you searched for. Mytube is much faster by me.

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

Media player shows "No connection to server for me". Download takes me to a blank page/redirect.
I was going to update the package with the above fix but it still seems to be broken :/

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

Mine too, just happened the last few days. I remember it was still working fine last week.
