Hi Arslan S.,
i use a functional minitube-installation now for some weeks.
the same configuration i used on different medias without any problems.
since today i get the message:
cannot get video info
with the browser i can watch the same videos on ytube without any problems,
but minitube doesn't work in the moment.
does minitube use different protocols, channels or so?
did ytube perhaps change some protocols, channels or plugins?
i downloaded the newest binaries 1.4.3 from the minitube homepage and experienced the same problems.
is there a problem in the core?
i really felt in love with minitube, such a great platform without that annoying ad and script stuff from ytube and gozzle.
thank you for your help.
-
It's very possible Youtube changed protocols, they intentionally try to break all the youtube downloaders every once in a while.
-
you are right! it happened today that there were changes in the protocol.
on the minitube-homepage a couple of users report the same issue on different platforms,
from mac over win to linux.
so we have to wait, until the developer react on the changes, made by ytube.

Mhm I get some qt version mismatch. And I don't feel like fixing it because this has too much dependencies, yuck.
Thank god GEMA blocks most youtube videos in Germany anyway. No big loss.
-
So that's what happened :(
-
the vp8-video format is more and more part of the html5-framework.
giggle wants to change the format of utube to vp8-streams.
ffmpeg gets these codecs, so probably ffmpeg needs an update.
some basics you can find under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP8.
-
flavio, the developer of minitube, is back from vacation,
and told that he will fix this issue soon...
http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube
so don't despair...
... or don't you know what you have missed without using minitube!?
-
hi friends,
flavo fixed the bug in version 1.5.
i tested it in microcore and it works flawless.
http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube-1-5-to-the-rescue
is there anyone who is experienced to package it in a tcz!?
http://flavio.tordini.org/files/minitube/minitube-linux-1.5.tar.gz
would be great , if an experienced user could do that job soon :)
thank you
-
it is done already, submitting minitube 1.5 soon
-
thank you for the fast response.
i'm looking forward to the update.
-
great and sure hope the dependencies are fixed also :)

hi Arslan S.,
yeah, it works fine.
by the way, here is my dep-file:
qt-4.x-base.tcz
qt-4.x-dbus.tcz
qt-4.x-xml.tcz
phonon-backend-gstreamer.tcz
phonon-backend-vlc.tcz
gst-plugins-good.tcz
gst-plugins-bad.tcz
gst-ffmpeg.tcz

phonon-backend-gstreamer.tcz

gst-plugins-good.tcz
gst-plugins-bad.tcz
gst-ffmpeg.tcz
hmm what kind of video you can't play without gst-plugins-bad and phonon-backend-vlc ?
also plugins are optional only mandatory ones should be added to dep list
-
actually i guess only phonon-backend-vlc is really basic to start minitube playing in my configuration,
without phonon-backend-vlc just any kind of ytube-video didn't start playing...
perhaps gst-plugins-bad is not important.
-
Although this is not an app I would normally use, I decided to take a look out of simple curiosity, and found it did not work. It starts OK and finds a range of videos, but will not run any of them.

Seems to indicate Xvesa-7.1 is preferred over Xvesa from base.
Check for Missing Dependencies:
ldd /usr/local/bin/minitube | grep "not found"
Nothing reported.
ldd /usr/local/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_gstreamer.so | grep "not found"
libGL.so.1 => not found
libGL.so.1 => not found
This seems to refer to Xorg-7.4 & 5.
Hopefully, it is possible to run without adding the full weight Xorg and the slower performance it brings to older machines.
-
I have Xorg and it still doesn't work.
I get errors about gstreamer base plugins not loaded.
-
My report in reply #14 was not meant to indicate that using Xorg would resolve the issue. It is possible that using Xorg might produce similar, but different symptoms arising from an as yet unidentified cause.
Full Xorg is not specified as a requirement by Minitube. This is usually an indication that Xvesa is OK. Supplying feedback on Xvesa was an attempt to provide controlled, repeatable conditions to assist with finding a fix. It might be possible to do something similar with Xorg.
-
phonon-backend-gstreamer depends on qt-4.x-opengl which of course depends on Xorg
i just did a clean base test with Xorg loaded everything is fine here
-
phonon-backend-gstreamer depends on qt-4.x-opengl which of course depends on Xorg
If Minitube is incompatible with Xvesa might it be worth mentioning this in the info file and adding Xorg as a dependency?
-
no need to add Xorg as a dep but i agree that it worths mentioning it in the extension info
-
Xorg can not be added as a dependency in the .dep files because there are several of them available for the user to choose. Yeah, the .info file is for that.
-
after installing Xorg 7.5 minitube is working
however, my laptop now uses Xorg graphics and it's a little slugish
is it possible to return Xvesa but still have minitube working?

Reporting success with Xvesa. Offering the alternative phonon-backends seems to have worked well.
Tested with minitube, phonon-backend-mplayer and Xvesa from base. Videos display as expected. An added advantage - it is also a much smaller download compared to Xorg and performance is much better on low-spec machines.
Starting minitube in a terminal still produces Xlib: extension "SYNC" missing on display ":0.0". but does not prevent anything from working. Installing Xvesa-7.1.tcz eliminates the error message. Is this message significant?
-
No, missing sync shouldn't matter.
