hi darkcity, yeah i can't seem to get the icons to work in slacko or wary, in lucid & precise they work fine though (although there is one i can't find) .

I believe i just left the icons out of those pets, after giving up trying to make them work..... here's the icons if you want to try to get them working..

Can a wish come true

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but is there any possibility of a version for Puppy-412. Or how to make one of the existing versions work in Puppy-412.

hi tuxtoo,
i'll have a go at it this week sometime. the hardest thing in getting it to work is installing gtk2perl and it's dependences. once you have that the other perl dependencies are usually quite easy to install using cpan.

Is one's email address and password required by the application?
I am not sure I like that aspect of the application.
I normally use my gmail address to see movies that require one to log in and I am kept logged in.
But I cannot seem to get past that email-address password windows to connect to YouTube.
I am interested in basically getting one free movie that seems to be related to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
And then only because my internet connection is too slow to view the movie without major pauses when the download to the buffer is not keeping up with the playback speed.
And my 1.5mbs connection speed is often slower than even that due to line degradation.

hi 8bit

yes if you want to log in, you'll need to use a gmail account (same as on the youtube site)

Note: that login doesn't work on the slacko version but it does work on the lucid, precise & akita versions (not sure about wary)

i may have a go at fixing the slacko version at some point.

In YouTUbe, on the login screen, there is an option to stay logged in.
I had previously set that.
Anyway, I typed in a search option, "free movies" and pressed return.
I got a display of movies then and after stumbling once, I clicked on information on the movie I wanted and then download.
But.....
I stopped the download when I realized it defaulted to downloading to the /root directory and into my pupsave area.
This is not a good thing as a YouTube video can quickly fill and overflow one's pupsave file and maybe destroy it in the process.
So I brought up settings and changed the destination to an area outside of my pupsave, aka, /mnt/home/videos.
I got the file downloaded. It was a 90 minute movie and took 8.5 hours to download at 1.5mbs which is the best speed I can get with my connection and often even lower speed.
But now, I can watch the movie without major pauses for buffer refill and out and out dead stops with no recovery apparent.
I envy those that have fast internet connections!
Anyway, It is working fine for me in Slacko 5.3.3 frugal install with a 512 meg pupsave file.
Just remember to check and change your destination as necessary to preserve your pupsave file.

Hi 666philb,

Thanks in advance for taking the time to have a go at making Gtk-Youtube-Viewer available for Puppy-412. Your time and help is much appreciated.

Hi 8-bit,
I have noticed not just in GTK-youtube-viewer but other youtube downloaders as well that youtube seem to throttle downloads to around 100KB's so they take quite abit of time to download - in GTK-youtube-viewer you can change the resolution in the bottom right corner lowering it will make the download files not as large - i find 360p is adequate on my laptop screen.

added a note to the first post, to warn users with frugal installs

hi tuxtoo,

i couldn't get it to work in puppy 412 even after updating perl. it seems that the gtk in 412 is just too old!

i did make a portable cde package that can run in 412. just unzip it then click on the 'gtk-youtube-viewer.cde' script to run it. not everything works. to play a video you need to right click on it and choose the 'play in new terminal' option, as double clicking doesn't work!

and videos downloaded, are downloaded inside the cde package (.../cde-package/cde-root/root is default) .

How does one view a selection of videos that would be more than one page?
I ask this since your app does not seem to have a button or option to get past the first page of selections.
I tried to change the amount of selections displayed, but did not have any luck.

to add to what pemasu said .....
you may need to enlarge the window to see the 'next page' text double-clicking still works even if you can't see the 'next page' text.

see page 2 of this thread.
