So far everything works! (Update, installation of youtube plugin, searching for youtube videos, watching youtube videos)

Small UI things that would be nice:
1- On search results of youtube videos, it would be nice to see the length of the videos, in addition to that information already provided (star rating and # of views).
2- With the graphite theme, it is a little hard to see the download bar (the bar that moves across the screen as the video is being downloaded/buffered), because there isn't much contrast between the download bar and the grey background of the time bar. In other themes it may not be a problem.
3- "Local videos" could be called "Saved Videos" or "Videos Saved to Disk" instead. When I saw the term "local" videos, I thought there was a way to put in your zip code or address and find videos that we posted from around your geographic location! As a result, I expected saved videos to be listed when I clicked on the "My Videos" icon on the main screens.

All of these new Canola updates have made my N800 so much more useful!! I love downloading podcasts over wifi-- take that iPod!!

I just installed this at lunch and it rocks!!! I wish there was a way to specify were the saved videos are placed that wouldn't require using x-term. I really appreciate you guys for all your hard work on this great ap.

Follow Tantris instructions found earlier in the thread word for word, line for line. They are EXACTLY what you need to do, in fact short of GUI I don't think it can get any simpler than those instructions. I was having a problem due to wanting to download long content, with this fix it makes Ctube perfect.
Once again good job Marcelo and team, this program and its functionality alone makes the IT worth the money.

i cant see the videos in youtube. i install the beta 7 and the plugin. the installation its ok. i see the icon in videos and it works. but when i select a video doesnt play. doesnt appear any error. i have n770

My installation went fine. I start plugin --- do a search -- and videos appear to choose from. I choose one and video seems at is is about to start playing -- but screen stays black. Below, the video appears to be caching (purple line is moving) -- but screen stays black. I think that my problem is that I disabled Mplayer as the default video player in Canola (I didn't think that mplayer showed videos that I downloaded as smoothly as the default player). Perhaps mplayer needs to be the default video player. My question is .. . what are the instructions to reenable Mplayer as the default video player in Canola? I can't find the post that tought me how to make the change. Can someone let me know how to reenable Mplayer as the default player in Canola? Thanks.

just found it . . .

Go to home/user/.atabake, edit config and change general = mplayer to general = oms. Works like a charm.

@handful: 'Pick album cover from file' in beta 8?

The new youtube plugin is beautifully done. It's been a lot of fun this morning searching for various videos; I never really bothered when using the regular browser/player.

Two small glitches I came across:

1) Right after starting the new canola, I initially went into the youtube bookmarks menu (don't ask me why, I knew there wouldn't be anything there). There was no back button, so it seemed impossible to get back to the previous screen (I had to quit canola). Now that I have a couple of items in the bookmarks, the back button is present and works fine.

2) I spent a bit of time doing searches, and going between videos and back to the search results. Two times I ended up trapped in the search results screen - it would scroll fine, but it wouldn't play any videos and the back button wouldn't work. Again I had to quit canola to escape.

I'm curious if anyone else experienced these problems; or if it could just be me...

Other than that, it's a really nice update.

YouTube complaints/bugs.

Search does not shift focus to the text dialog

Animated icons for videos appear to freeze the interface for unreasonable periods of time.

Tapping on the screen to switch between window/fullscreen often causes some sort of artifacting where I tapped.

Saves all video's to the internal card causing all sorts of issues. ( mv'ing and linking the directory is a hack ).

Still another great release.

the problem with that is the videos i save to the memory card cannot be seen on local videos!
