Hi Darkcity !
Thanks for your interest .

Here is a statement from pemasu

" Probably gtk-youtube-viewer suffers from the same changed API problem as all the other youtube viewers. Those others has gotten patches, but in the gtk-youtube-viewer source is not yet the patch.

People can watch the source themselves and report if it get the patch. You will notice with the date, if there is recent commit.

We use in Puppies the original setup, so for example gentoo recently patched version does not work. It might have the needed code change...if someone is willing to try to grab it from the perl script. I dont have the knowledge to do it.

01micko managed to patch Umplayer using Smplayer code. So....the open source can give you insight how to do it....if you are capable and persistent....lol.
Or....it is just the temporary glitch. We will know better tomorrow.."

Backi, it's not nice to post the same thing several places in the forum.

And when a problem is solved, please add that to the title of the thread. Thank you.
