Smtube Smplayer no longer playing Youtube Videos

#1 Post by backi »

Hi !
Smtube/Smplayer does not play Youtube Videos anymore .
(Unfortunately this Video can`t be played.The Server returned 403.Forbidden.
Unable to locate URL of the Video)

Same goes for Vlc Player .
Also Youtube-downloader stopped working .

Anybody any Idea ?

Hi backi, Same error for me with smtube, but I have no idea why.
Most of the times it's because something has changed on the YouTube end .
But Gtk-youtube-viewer still works, also youtube-get2

Thanks norgo !
Although I mostly don't use puppy, I now know which version.

@backi, just for info, to install e.g. on Xenialdog, you can add ppa to the software sources and install smplayer and smtube:

Code: Select all

add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer xenial
apt-get update
apt-get install smplayer smtube
Works fine now for me !
