Will this work?

No, that did not work either - at first it looks as if the file is there, but then comes up and says exactly the same error as the previous attempts. Strange. Maybe we have some local ISP issue. I will try again later. Thanks for the help.

hi greengeek

the file is definitely still there... i've uploaded it to my dropbox, see if you have better luck with this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19554672/cde-package.tar.gz

the youtube api allows you to look at anyones subscriptions list

e.g. for mine see here:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/use ... tionvideos

no password needed.

Is there any chance of being able to choose from my subscriptions to download and watch videos?

hi slenkar,

i think you can watch/download your own subscriptions from within the app, i can't see a way of viewing others though.

you just need to 'login to youtube' from the 'file' menu in the app. (this option may be broken though in some puppies)

i did make a portable cde package that can run in 412.

Thanks Philb and RSH - I have been able to download the file now. It seems that my problem was due to some oddity of the browser on the 412 based puppy I was using to access mediafire.

oh yeh that worked thanks

Hi 666philb

Just tried the viwer on Slacko 5.4 and got: In /usr/bin on Slacko 5.4 there is perl5.16.1 and perl linked to it.

Does gtk-youtube-viewer need updating for Slacko5.4?

Many thanks

yes i'll have to try and package up a new one for slacko 5.4. in the meantime i've made a note on the first post that it's old slacko only

thanks

i've added a .pet for slacko 5.4 on the first post ..... not sure if everything is working.

It breaks Sakura for me in Slacko 5.4.

hmmm odd, as the package actually includes that sakura. can you look in /usr/bin and see if the sakura symlink i put there is broken..

it's also worth noting that for some reason, because there are 2 .desktop files in the .pet, slacko puts them both in multimedia. so you may find sakura there. manually editing the categories section of the .desktop file and running fixmenus would fix this.

It's working well in slacko 5.4 here.

EDIT:from lxterminal as well.

Thanks 666philb

Worked fine for me to download a 54min tv episode this morning. Not tried anything complicated like login details....

No problems with sakura - BTW why is it necessary to include this? Can't the terminals already in Slacko be used?

Now need to understand how the FFconvert in Slacko 5.4 works - it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as intuitive as the one in 5.3.3 and doesn't seem to recognise the FLV format - I guess I must be doing something wrong but can't work out what!!

Thanks for your efforts to update.
Cheers

Ah I see. Your symlinks did not sit happily with my pre-installed Sakura. Anyway, I started again and uninstalled Sakura and vte before installing your pet. Everything works as expected and Sakura is in correct category after manually editing sakura.desktop.

The problem with including Sakura and vte in your pet is that it is not apparent in PPM that they are installed.

If you must include them It would have been helpful if you made clear that the pet included Sakura and vte.

unfortunately i can't get the program to work with the terminals in slacko. that's the reason i included sakura. but if someone can get it to work ...(01micko )... that would be cool.

i've amended the first post to mention that the .pet includes sakura terminal

and i've posted a bug report in the slacko thread about the menu entries as this doesn't happen on precise.

thanks for testing

Has the Lucid md5 changed since your opening post?

I just tried the gtk-youtube-viewer 3.0,2 for Slacko 5.4.
I could not get it to work initially as it closed shortly after opening.
I then ran it from a terminal and saw it was having a scripting problem with edu-cat classification.
I then opened /usr/bin/gtk-youtube-viewer in geany and commented out lines 1102-1103 by adding a pound sign to the beginning of the lines and saved the file.
It now runs with no problem other than one has to remember to edit the configuration file to save their downloaded videos to an area outside of their pupsave file.
