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...

Fast.pm is present

Sakura terminal works.

Is this a problem with API? Did Google change anything that prevents viewer from work?

Thanks.

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.

peebee , any search does not work.

Sakura terminal work.

It used to work for me when I insalled the previous version but then stop. Now I installed this new one and fails too.

I I enter the url which the error says [401 Token invalid] in the browser it works.

Line 28 /usr/local/lib/perl5/XML/Fast.pm read this:

_xml2hash($xml,\%args);

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

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...

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 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.
