this seems like python (and hildon) was installed. wasn't it?

Yeah!!, but funny bc i was trying to installing from project's page first n it said i need python-hidon then i tried from yr page mytube.garage and installed.....wow! Thanks for u hard work!!!

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

..... 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.

Thanks for the update. I'm afraid that I am *not* a fan of the newly implemented kinetic scrolling. I find it very hard on the eyes when trying to locate an item in the list of saved videos. Any possibility of giving us the option in a preferences menu to choose between old-school scroll bar and kinetic scrolling?

I generally like kinetic scrolling, but I also don't like the way kinetic scrolling has been implemented in MyTube.. I prefer kinetic scrolling at stop at the end of the list. The never-ending wrap-around kinetic scrolling makes it very, very difficult to find something on a page or to sometimes know that you've hit bottom despite the little bar. I'd suggest that the list be made longer (say 30 entries per screen) with kinetic scrolling that has a definite top and bottom and doesn't wrap back around, and if scrollbars become optional and put back in, a much shorter (say 10 entries per screen) with scrollbars? It would be even better if these were variables that a user could choose in a preference menu. ALL features are good features as long as they're optional.

it was initially implemented to give a choice between scrolling and kinetic. bat because of loading time optimization i've kind of removed that code .

you can however try to set in preferences->kinetic->max speed = 0.
this way you can scroll without kinetic (drag anywhere on the list).

...do others have this problem?

thanks for input.

keeping these all in one place will help

Is Mytube still working for everyone? I can't get any search results, results from "most viewed" etc., or see any of my local files. I'm not sure how that happened, but I just un-and re-installed and it still doesn't work. :|

Agreed with the no-wrap-around. You can't "flick" to the top of a list if it keeps spinning. VERY disorienting.

However, you can make it 30 entries long right now: Preferences -> More... -> Misc (tab) -> Entries Per Page

Hello. I just want to say that mYTube is an excellent application, and is one of the main used of my N800 currently. I have a question concerning the latest build of mplayer (maemo.29 which is in extras). I know this really isn't a mYTube question, but is there any advantage to using this new compile, versus maemo.24 (which you currently recommend)? When I tried version 29 with mytube, there seemed to be major sync problems. Maybe there is a command line switch that could be used in ver 29 to get it to play correctly?
