But this is for Diablo.

Double check that both libxmu6 and xclip are for Maemo 5.

Recently I've started using mytube (n810) and found that login and favorites buttons are inactive (grey). Does mytube supports logining at all?

After reflashing, I'm trying to get the xclip and y script to work again.

I download the latest version here:
http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/download.html

Here's my error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl-x", line 28, in <module>

ImportError: No module named getpass


Am I missing a dependency or something?

yes. you need to download get_pass. This deb file will do so. Unfortunately it also downloads an obsolete version of youtube-dl so after installing the patch you will need to download youtube-dl again. Also note as youtube-dl currently stands it will download all of the video, showing nothing but spinning bar (no percentage completion) and cannot start playing until download of video is complete. better than nothing however.

See post #341 and #410 in this very thread. Also in mytube options check whether it calls youtube-dl or youtube-dl-x. It must match the name of the updated file which is youtube-dl by default but can be renamed if desired.

Sweet!

Thanks for the deb.

I'll post back in a few if it works.

Excellent!

At first I thought my old youtube-dl-x was stale so I grabbed the newest version I posted just above.

However, that one gave me a --no-part error.

I went back to the one I had before and it's back to working again after your patch.

Plus I can watch a video without waiting for it to fully dowload.

Thanks!

The newest youtube-dl gives an error for --no-part? You might want to look into that and see if its a bug or if it was removed/renamed. Eventually the youtube API will change and your old youtube-dl will stop working.

Yeah, the Feb. 27th, 2012 release of youtube-dl gave that error for some reason.

I didn't test it any further than this.

wait, how are you doing that? Or are you using that xclip program?

This is what I currently have, and no, I didn't have to install MyTube before this.

YouTube.zip

For me, that folder looks like this on my internal memory card.
/media/mmc2/N800/Youtube

I run the install Note's file just once.

I usually use go to http://m.youtube.com/ using Tear, setting the zoom_step to 0.8 and zooming in once, or a regular forum that has a YouTube video link in the message thread.

Copy the link using your browser.

Then execute the command y.

You can type y in Xterm, but I have a shortcut of this on my desktop using Personal Launcher.

Anyway, I wait about 1 minute and the video will immediately begin to play.

They get stored in /media/mmc1/Videos.

You might want to change any preferences in that y file if you don't like the directories or time delays I use.

Cheers.
