Running gtk-youtube-viewer 3.0.2 in Wary 5.2.2.
Looks like they've turned the screws again.
Videos no longer download as mp4s.
Instead, they load the same way they would through a browser.
And if I log in to YouTube in gtk-youtube-viewer 3.0.2 using my GMail account info., I get
(see below...strangely, I don't get that error when I don't log in...)

It used to work for me (v 3.0.4 in Slacko 5.6) but now I get this error when searching:
No video results...
=>> Previous warnings:

Fast.pm is present
Sakura terminal works.
Is this a problem with API? Did Google change anything that prevents viewer from work?
Thanks.

Version 3.0.4 for Slacko5.6 |
|
A small change was needed to make v3.0.4 run on Slacko5.6 - having made the change I decided to upload the amended pet:
gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.4_slacko5.6
Make sure you uninstall any previous version & delete:
root/.config/gtk-youtube-viewer and youtube-viewer folders
before running
I notice that v3.0.9 is now available:
https://code.google.com/p/trizen/
but I'm not sure what would need to be done to turn it into a pet - the 3.0.4 pet is much bigger so must have lots of 'extras'.
but Slacko5.6 comes with perl5.16.3 so it should work....if somebody knew how to do it.
Cheers

Hi Rope
Works for me - on a pristine frugal install of Slacko5.6 - both with the default unchanged locale settings and also when I've configured for the UK....
?????????????
What kind of search did you do?
Cheers

Hi Rope
Have you tried deleting:
root/.config/gtk-youtube-viewer and youtube-viewer folders and then running?
Other than that I can offer no suggestions as it works fine for me.
Regards
peebee

Thanks for keeping this upto date peebee .... i'm away over the winter and haven't got my main computer so can't update stuff much, i'm basically on an old macbook that you can't turn off or it may not turn back on again!!!... it is running in ram with no save file ....precise only
I did try to get gtk-youtube-viewer working on precise, and had the same no search results problem as above

Hi 666philb
With the same small change (sent to you by pm) the Precise version also works fine for me:
gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.2_precise5.7.1.pet

Thanks peebee.
I deleted root/.config/gtk-youtube-viewer and it works now. The other folder you mention I dont know where they are.
Do you know if it is possible to replace mplayer with gnome player? It has more GUI controls.

Version 3.0.9 for Slacko5.6 |
|
Here's version 3.0.9 to try on Slacko5.6
gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.9_slacko5.6.pet
Seems to work OK on Slacko5.6 but on LxPup13.11 it has a stange interaction with the panel which it blanks - however the panel does "recover" later...
Cheers

Hello All
I had been using gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.2.-lucid.pet in Lucid Puppy 528 which I found very useful. However, it no longer works properly. I have been using the "revitalised" 5286 version here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461 . I wonder if somebody would be kind enough to make a pet of gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.9. that would work with this updated version of Lucid Puppy 528. I am sorry to say that I do not have the expertise to do this myself.
Regards,
Ken.

Hi Ken
It may be possible....but....
the Viewer is a Perl application and Perl seems to be very sensitive to all sorts of system components so I'm not sure even the revitalised 528 will be enough for v3.0.9 - I may be wrong.
It will be a lot of work even to investigate so at the moment my recommendation would be to have a frugal boot of Slacko5.6 just to run this application - you never know you may find you like it
Cheers
peebee

Hi Peebee
Thanks for quick reply. I did not realise it could potentially be so much work. I have tried slacko but before it got to 5.6. However, I have a couple of frugal installs of different puppies booting with grub4dos and it would easy to add slacko 5.6 so I'll take your advice and try it.
Thanks again,
Ken.

Hello
Just for info. I have viewer V.3.0.2 here on Lupu 5.2.8 and it still seems to work OK for me in the UK. I can search by keywords or user name and videos play or download as mp4 files.
