"no streams found" still popping up in the latest version (0.2.3), can't stream any video on vimeo. don't have other accounts so can't tell whether they work or not.

This new "Live TV streams and podcasts" plugin sounds promising, although it's now working only for Symbian.

Hi Marxian. I noticed you've updated Cutetube. The " no streams found "error has gone in Youtube but nowHowever now Cutetube refuses to even play the videos no matter what stream i choose! Error says "video cannot be played" I tried other players n they also cannot play

Thanks so much. For this app. I use it every day

So the latest update(Cutetube2 0.5.1) appears to remove the automatic integration of ffmpeg(if installed) to convert videos to mp3.
I notice there is an execute custom command in it's place, or maybe this was already there. In any case what would be the correct ffmpeg string with %=filename to get the input videos to automagicaly convert DLs to mp3?
I have already tried several combinations
think this is what I stopped with
it has been a long time since I have had to do much scripting with ffmpeg or anything so my skills are super rusty.
(edit)
I checked and ffmpeg is still installed.

Just wondering - why is Harmattan stuck at 0.2.3?

According to the changelog, see:

https://github.com/marxoft/cutetube2...ttan/changelog

the latest version of cutetube2 for Harmattan is 0.5.1, the same as for the Maemo5 and Symbian versions.

As to why marxian has not published an installation file for cutetube2 version 0.5.1, maybe he has no working N9 to test it on. Someone could ask him if this indeed is the case.

ok, so changelog says
"* Replace save as audio feature with custom command."
cool super hackable feature if I were a better geek

So what is the command to replicate that service?
In cutetube2 (see my attempt above) which I could see starting after DL finished but left me with a video file not an mp3 so must have failed.
I probably misused the % in the script

I will be more verbose.
There are two new custom command places in 0.5.1
the first is in the Media/content heading
Custom command(%u for URI)
_____________________
the second is in Transfers
Custom command (%f for filename)
_____________________

I am reasonably sure that this is where we put the ffmpeg convert string and while there is an override global settings and space for a special custom command in the download media option it would be nice to have the old option of convert(or run custom command) in the GUI.
IN any case if anyone would like to take a knock at what custom command it would take to make an mp3 or m4v I would love to see it.
I tried
hoping it was just lame acting weird, but no luck again.

Hi,

you can start cutetube with verbosity from commandline:

and see what results are produced in a second commandline with this:
the command for cutetube, where i get to-audio-converted files is this:
but i'm not glad with it, because the input video-file remains and the outputfilename has already the full input-filename

That did it, thanks!

Not got device to hand to test though, but wouldn't the output of this be VideoFileName.xxx.m4a where xxx is the original extension (flv/mp4)?
