The problem with special characters is not related to the partial download problem. The issue with special characters is that QDocumentGallery URL encodes the filePath of the video, which confuses GStreamer. I have solved this by decoding the filePath when passing it to the video player. The fix is in the update that is currently in Nokia Store QA, along with a fix for the crashing problem when attempting to play a video whilst downloads are queued.

cuteTube displays the video duration that is reported by the QML Video element, so it seems that the video player is reporting the incorrect duration in this case. I noticed a similar problem using the QML Audio element in MusiKloud, so I switched to using the duration metadata of the file instead of relying on the audio player. I will now use the same approach in cuteTube.

I have recently noticed that some 480p YouTube videos will not play using the QML Video component, even though they do play in the stock player. They both use the same backend (and I presume that the stock player also uses Qt, though not QML), so they should have the same playback capabilities. I'll file a bug report.

I think the tracker should update automatically after the device has been unmounted. However, I noticed a similar problem myself last night. I did the same as you, and it seemed that the video files were still there until I deleted them from within the video player, even though I could not see them when mounting the device in mass storage mode.

The thumbnails are stored in a subfolder named thumbnails. In hindsight, I should have made this a hidden folder. I will change this for the next update.

As an alternative, you can add it to the IgnoredDirectories list by editing the file at

Code:

/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg
