First of all, I like to make something clear about YTube. This is a heavily modified, perfected version of cuteTube python which were developed by Marxian. All credits still go to Marxian for developing this app in the first place. I am just a modifier, who had some spare time to optimize it and incorporate more features and gave it some resfresh Ui changes.
