I used these instructions from the other thread word for word and it works flawlessly.

mkdir /media/mmc2/youtube-temp
now the "crucial part": this one deletes your normal canola temp-dir
rm -r videos
and now we create a symbolic link called "videos" which points to our newly created temp dir:
ln -s /media/mmc2/youtube-temp videos
(in caps this would be LN not 1N)

after this you should be able to do a
cd videos
echo 1 > 1

and if you open your filemanager and go to the folder in which the youtube temp-files should be stored (internal mem. card/youtube-temp)
you should see a very small file called "1" now.
Delete it, as we don't need it anymore and test your youtube videos...


To revert this change:
=================

open an x-term shell: you are in your home direcory now.
cd .canola/youtube
rm videos
mkdir videos

this will only delete the *link*, so your "new" youtube-temp directory is still there and can be deleted.

Well,
1) You can be patient and wait for the next release, which will probably be pretty soon. These guys are fast.
or..
2) We can troubleshoot symlinks!!! Yeay troubleshooting!!!

Since you chose option 2, (you did, right?) we can continue...

Open your terminal program and type:
ls -al /home/user/.canola/youtube

It should look something like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user users 23 Mar 20 20:40 videos -> /media/mmc1/tmp/videos/

desiv
p.s. Yes, I cut out the lines from my ls that didn't relate...

Munky : we had this info, we are actually removing some info to allow the list to scroll, a little bit of more information really kills the performance. sorry for that detail, we will try to add in future versions.

well how bout removing the star rating , which i feel is very unnecessary and perhaps even the number of views... i feel and so do most peoples opinion i ask that the length of the video is more important information than the stars or # of hits

@munky, yeah, that could be a solution. If more people request that we will surely consider changing.

requesting it.

True, it's sometimes nice to know the "star rating" and/or the number of views to help select something from the list... but, it's also handy to know, without having to download it and start it playing, that what you thought was a 2-minute video clip is actually an hour-and-a-half video.

Handful : Thanks for a great plugg-in and the new addon skins are just awsome.
But should we just get this great software for free ?
Canīt you make a way so we could sponsore with some money for this.
