You can see that there are some characters (square brackets) that are URL encoded.
I renamed the file (removing the square brackets) and it worked fine. The two possible fixes are to replace these characters when downloading the file, or to decode the characters when passing the URL to the video player (this would be my preferred option, but I need to test it first). I'm not sure why it would work on the stock player, but not when using the QML Video component (stock player uses MeeGo Touch Framework for the UI, but I think it still uses the same backend). There must be a difference in behaviour (perhaps the stock player decodes the URL, or alternatively does not URL encode it). I expected that any legal filename would be acceptable to GStreamer.
Can you tell me which quality setting you are using for downloads? I haven't ever experienced that. It sounds like the video was only partially downloaded. If that happens, it should mark the download as 'Failed'. I handle all cases where the download operation is completed successfully or the QNetworkReply returns an error. Perhaps there are some cases where the download is incomplete, but the QNetworkReply does not return an error.
I downloaded some more videos last night and it appears a file has downloaded in full - its 300MB. However it wont play in cutetube. The length of the video is shown as 59.59. This video however will play in the stock video player. The name of the file has the following special character -
On the whole I seem to have a hit or miss experience with downloading.
I went into usb mass storage mode and manually deleted video files which would not play - however they remain in the cutetube archive and the stock video player. Is there a way to update/activate the tracker to rescan for media?
Finally - the thumbnails for all downloaded videos appear in the Gallery. Any plans on hiding these from the tracker so they dont show up?
Thanks for working through with these issues i'm experiencing.

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.

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.

As an alternative, you can add it to the IgnoredDirectories list by editing the file atCode:
/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg

Look forward to the other updates you're making. I havent read other people having the issues i've been reporting - that means either I use your app a lot more then most people or my device is buggy.
Cheers

If someone ports ffmpeg to Harmattan, we could convert the videos manually into m4a files with:
I tried to install the N900 version, but it gave me alot of errors 
Edit: it seems like ffmpeg is already in the repo of Rzr... but somehow, I couldn't install it :/

Updated cutetube marxian and so far have had no repeat of the issues. Downloads are smooth and I can now download videos which were failing before.
Will report back if I notice any bugs.
Excellent work thanks.

hi i'm using pr 1.2 and when attempting to play a video it says unable to establish a network connection. This problem didn't exist in pr1.1.1.
even download fails with the error 'Forbidden'. I've updated to v1.1
1 yet the problem persists
the network connection is working as results can be searches just cant be played and downloaded
your help would be much appreciated.
