Yeah.., very perfect

Weird... sound works for me.
Did you try again ? Maybe sound was disabled at the mpv screen (was set to -/1 see pic)

Anyway, I wasn't satisfied already with the included mpv (if I remember well it uses OSS sound rather than ALSA), so here's another "package" with included the mpv from precise .pet here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 332#859332
Size is more than 10MB bigger (extracted), because of that.

EDIT: Oh, on systems that have gl support (e.g. libgl1-mesa-dri package installed) that mpv doesn't work OOTB, workaround can be changing video output in the Preferences to:
(by adding "--vo xv" to the args)

Code: Select all

                                           mpv => {
                                             arg   => "--really-quiet --vo xv --title *TITLE* --no-ytdl",

(named it yt-viewer-3.5.1..... now)

Didn't think this would become a sort of development thread. Much more issues than I expected !

EDIT:

Something else: just for test and not essential: I tried unsuccessfully to make links in /cde-root/usr/bin to /usr/bin/vlc, mplayer etc. already installed on my Puppy and even replacing the /cde-root/usr/bin/mpv with a link to /usr/bin/mpv but all complain about their missing libs...
Too bad!
Isn't there some way around that?

I think the only way is to add the required libs in the cde-root (e.g. in cde-root/usr/lib)
It's a closed environment, so cannot "look" outside AFAIK.

Yay! My vids play now.

Dunno what you did with the symlinks, whatever they are, but it fixed it. The latest version works a treat - and I've got sound.

No doubt my Firefox, and my Puppy, will sink further and further into obsolescence, for more and more sites, as time goes on, but for now everything's great.

Thanks for the help, guys, and if my struggles have helped in some small way with your development of the viewer, that's great too.

Cheers.

Bonjour,
Now sound works!

fredx181 wrote:Maybe sound was disabled at the mpv screen (was set to -/1 see pic)

The sound was marked as off (-/1) but nothing to do to enable it.

Didn't think this would become a sort of development thread. Much more issues than I expected !

In reality, it's always the same song with programs and computers but I think you're at the end of your rope now!

Thank you for all.
Cordialement.

Bonjour,
As I wanted gtk youtube viewer to be fully integrated to my Puppy, I did a little script (rough coding, which could probably be improved/shortened but working well!) that I would like to share with those who would be interested.

Steps to be followed:

- Replace /cde-root/usr/share/fonts with a link to the standard Puppy /usr/share/fonts (copy first the "oxygen.ttf" font if you want to keep/use it)
- Replace /cde-root/usr/share/themes with a link to the standard Puppy /usr/share/themes
- Replace the original gtk-youtube-viewer.cde with "my" gtk-youtube-viewer.cde (note that the auto update of youtube-dl may be disabled/commented)
- Copy gtkthemeinteg in the same directory.

Now, when you start gtkyoutube viewer it is automatically displayed using you current gtk theme!
I added 2 desktop files (youtube-dl-update.desktop and youtube-viewer.desktop) to be copied to /usr/share/applications/ and 2 icons to be copied to /usr/share/pixmaps/. Desktop files has to be modified to take the current gtk youtube directory into account. Here it is /usr/local/gtk-youtube-viewer/ I chose for my own use.
Refresh the menu for entries to be displayed.

Cordialement.

Something new I didn't get previously (when I run gtkyoutube viewer in console). This seems not to prevent videos to be played properly:

Code: Select all

I think those errors are because mesa-dri isn't set up for your graphics card. You are in Puppy, right?

Open the console and run "glxgears". If it works, then never mind, I don't know what I am talking about.

If it doesn't work and if you don't want to ignore it, then you'll need to figure out what driver you need for your graphics card and install it.

If you don't have glxgears installed, install the package "mesa-utils" (in Debian at least).

If you are using Debian Dog or similar, install mesa-utils and libgl1-mesa-dri and try again.

Looks like you use the one from here, see EDIT (adding "--vo xv" to the args in Preferences works for me as workaround ):
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 31#1008731

The one from here doesn't have that problem (different mpv included):
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 23#1008723
You have still no sound with that one ?
(I probably misunderstood, thought you had solved it)

EDIT;

For me the videos won't play when I get these libGL errors.

No you did not: your latest version solved the sound issue and seems running properly except this message apparently with no incidence that is displayed when gtkyoutube is executed in a terminal.
Sorry if it was not clear, this is what I was meaning:

Sorry, I missed your message. Thank you.

Works fine!

Smithy wrote:Forever Still Vids Playing ok for me, BUT all stopped working a few days ago.
Had to do the curl code in the artful pet, the one that puts the new youtube dl py file in usr/local/bin. The other code youtube-dl says bash command not found or something.
I've made a clickable .sh update file for it, but would be cool if it was in the main script Fred. Not a biggie, just glad to be able to watch an occasional youtube vid, since every bugger seems tied to it now. Are google custodians of everyone's life now.

Hi Smithy, I tried the pet on Artful again, when e.g. playing videos from Categories, all plays fine.
I expected some errors (missing HTML...) but noticed that these required perl modulles are already included in Artful, so no need to update the .pet.
(earlier I thought something possibly could be fixed).
But tell me if you notice errors or videos that won/t play

Fred

Smithy · #387 Post by **Smithy** » Sun 04 Nov 2018, 12:31

Ok Fred, seems to be working fine thanks.

I've made a little updater pet if it decides to stop functioning again.
It appears as a Desktop Menu entry in Multimedia.
I can't get the terminal to come up to show progress but internet activity shows and it does update the usr/local/bin file.

Whether this would be a lot of hassle to incorporate into the Main GTK YouTube Viewer Menu I don't know.

fredx181 · #388 Post by **fredx181** » Mon 05 Nov 2018, 17:58

Thanks Smithy, good improvement, I'll upgrade the pet packages later with your updater script included.

Not tried the latest artful pet yet Fred but will try it out soon.

Just a bit about the mechanics of the app.

I tried downloading a couple of tutorial vids.
Each time it downloads, it progresses to 100% and finishes the download successfully, but then it starts to do it again, so it seems to download twice?
And when I close the app, there is some residual activity going on for a minute or so, just wondering what that is? Maybe some google ghosts..

And if you have a list of all the icons used and where they go that would be cool.

My puppy versions: tahrpup-6.0.5 (kernel:3.14.56)
Remove old Gtk-youtube-viewer pet, (3.5.2.pet) and install new 3.5.3-tahr_i386.pet.

Program windows tittle bad, program versions incorrect.
Even though I update my youtube-dll file, the downloads function does not work!
Live playback works, mplayer and mpv engine ok.

youtube-viewer file line143 bad:
use WWW::YoutubeViewer v3.5.0;
gtk-youtube-viewer file line 34 bad:
use WWW::YoutubeViewer v3.5.0;
/usr/share/perl5/WWW/YoutubeViewer.pm line26 bad:

correct program windows version info:

@ntamas,

Even though I update my youtube-dll file, the downloads function does not work!

Change in Preferences to xterm and add option "-hold":

Code: Select all

  terminal                            => "/usr/bin/xterm",
  terminal_exec                       => "-hold -e '%s'",

Added now to info here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 18#1007818

Can't really see what's the problem with the version number. the 3.5.3 is just for the pet version (but indeed you are right that the real gtk-youtube-viewer version is 3.5.0)
EDIT: On second thought, I must admit that it might be confusing, so next time I'll do it different, thanks.

Bonjour,

Nice ! , did you construct this by yourself or was it already sort of existing ?

@Smithy, I'll get back later on the (download) issue and which icons are required.

Date (and time if a second package the same day) would probably be the best?

I made it for ToOpPy users first, then I thought I could share it here.

But it is not new: this was the subject of the thread, initiated on Wed Aug 06, 2014:
