Apologies for overposting when I should have looked for a thread that could have helped me.

Basically, I've combined a couple of issues as if they were linked to the same problem, but I've solved one of the issues, and I'm still looking for a possible answer to the other.

As far as the problem with not being able to download in order to play a youtube file; well, it turns out the reason it wouldn't play is because I had run out of space on the internal memory due to lots of youtube downloads and it could no longer buffer the file, so after deleting some files and giving back some space, the program now works. In other words 'mea culpa'.

I would still like, if possible, any suggestion on the parameters required to scale video to cover the full nokia screen even if they were originally designed for youtube videos or how to access the config file in mplayer so I can set a universal scaling size so that all videos are played at a certain scale size. Is this possible or am I biting off more than I can chew.

Thanks
LTM


..... just wanted to add a followup to one of my issues. I know that the author of mytube is working on a cache cleaner, but it turns out I ran out of space because I didn't know where all my lost space went to and it was due to the invisible cache that mytube uses when just watching a youtube video ( not saving it) and it doesn't show up in the mytube storage folder. Only downloaded videos that are saved show up as a file, but the cache is invisible until you take a look to see how much space the storage folder is taking up. Once I deleted the mytube folder, even though nothing was visible using the built in file manager and gpe file manager, I gained back my 250mb's of internal memory. My point is if you've been using mytube a lot, watching videos, but not saving them and see a depletion of your internal memory or external memory and can't figure out where it went to, the temporary fix of deleting the mytube cache storage folder will give you back a lot of your missing space. It was the reason I ran out of memory and why the program wouldn't run in the first place.
