Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

youtube application for nokia n97 is better ...i don't like the one for nokia n900 honestly

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Ok, I have built on Emgmex's idea, and have gotten the new youtube-dl script to work somewhat. I have had to hack it so that its stdout looks similar to youtube-dl-x. I'm not quite there yet, but you can at least hit the download button, and watch the percent climb until it hits 100%. Once it does, you can hit the play button.
lines that I changed in youtube-dl are lines 360,361, and 382.

My guess is if we can get the stdout to look exactly like the youtube-dl-x, we should be good to go.

Edit: go here to get the deb, which installs Emgmex's modified script.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Hi Liquid Many thanks! I'll take a look at your script later.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Hi Liquid Yes your script is an improvement thanks. I'm trying to follow your suggestion and get youtube-dl to output the same as youtube-dl-x. Unfortunately it ain't that simple because youtube-dl-x has an additional parameter in the relevant line. Here is the line in youtube-dl-x (line 360)

cond_print('\nRetrieving video data: %5s%% (%8s of %s) at %8s/s ETA %s ' % (percent_str, counter, video_len_str, speed_str, eta_str))

and this is what we have in your version of youtube-dl

self.to_stdout(u'\nRetrieving video data: %s of %s at %s ETA %s' %
(percent_str, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True)

I think the problem is the counter parameter in youtube-dl-x code, which does not exist in youtube-dl. I guess this is what tells mytube to launch mplayer. I'm trying to add the counter somehow , but is is proving difficult and isn't helped by the fact that I don't know python. What we need is a kind and friendly python programmer!
Regards

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Yea, i'm not really a python guy either. I think you are correct, that there is a "bytes outputted" line in the stdout that mytube watches for. As I get time, I'll look to see if I can figure that out.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Well by messing with the script a bit and adding the code below at line 360 I now have a byte count on the std out, but unfortunately Mplayer still doesn't launch automatically. I guess there is something wrong with the byte count format.
Line 355
def report_progress(self, percent_str, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str):
"""Report download progress."""
if self.params.get('noprogress', False):
return

#CHANGED BY ENGMEX
percent_str = percent_str.rstrip('%')
percent_str = float(percent_str)
data_len_str = data_len_str.rstrip('M')
data_len_str = float(data_len_str)
counter = int(((data_len_str*1048576)/100)*percent_str)

self.to_stdout(u'\nRetrieving video data: %5s%% (%8s of %sM) at %8s/s ETA %s ' %
(percent_str, counter, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True)
#END ENGMEX


def report_resuming_byte(self, resume_len):
"""Report attemtp to resume at given byte."""
self.to_stdout(u'[download] Resuming download at byte %s' % resume_len)

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Thanks, Engmex and liquid217. I'm sure looking forward to your success in fixing the Diablo mYTube.

(It seems like, so far, there's no point in a non-coder downloading any of what you've implemented these past few days; and that all we can do is thank you and wish you good luck. Good Luck!)

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

sorry to dissappoint, but I now have the modified youtube-dl script producing the exact same output as the original youtube-dl-x script. Here is the code:
Line 359
#CHANGED BY ENGMEX
percent_str = percent_str.rstrip('%')
percent_str = float(percent_str)
data_len_str = data_len_str.rstrip('M')
data_len_str = float(data_len_str)
counter = float(((data_len_str*1048576)/100)*percent_str)
if counter < 1048576:
self.to_stdout(u'\nRetrieving video data: %5s%% (%.2fk of %sM) at %8s/s ETA %s ' %
(percent_str, counter, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True)
else:
counter = counter/1048576
self.to_stdout(u'\nRetrieving video data: %5s%% (%.2fM of %sM) at %8s/s ETA %s ' %
(percent_str, counter, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True)
#END ENGMEX

Unfortunately mplayer still does not launch automatically, so I guess that mytube does not use the std out to launch myplayer.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Good news! I think I have it working. I made a silly mistake and was converting to bytes instead of kilobytes here is the new code:
#CHANGED BY ENGMEX
percent_str = percent_str.rstrip('%')
percent_str = float(percent_str)
data_len_str = data_len_str.rstrip('M')
data_len_str = float(data_len_str)
counter = float(((data_len_str*1024)/100)*percent_str)
if counter < 1024:
self.to_stdout(u'\nRetrieving video data: %5s%% (%8.2fk of %sM) at %8s/s ETA %s ' %
(percent_str, counter, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True)
else:
counter = counter/1024
self.to_stdout(u'\nRetrieving video data: %5s%% (%8.2fM of %sM) at %8s/s ETA %s ' %
(percent_str, counter, data_len_str, speed_str, eta_str), skip_eol=True)
#END ENGMEX
I will try and upload the file somewhere so that the rest of you can download it.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Nice Engmex. Congratulations on getting it figured out.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Ok I've uploaded the modified and working script to here:
http://wikisend.com/download/437498/youtube-dl
It seems to be working on my Nokia fine. Remember you will also need to download the getpass.py
posted by liquid217 above. You need to put the getpass.py in your /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

You need to place youtube-dl in
/usr/bin/

you need to make sure the permissions on the youtube-dl script are correct.

as root type:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/youtube-dl

You also need to go to mytube>preferences>more>youtube-dl and change
youtube-dl-x
to
youtube-dl
leave the rest of the options the same.
Good Luck!

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Thanks to you liquid for working out that we only needed to change the stdout, without that I wouldn't have known where to begin.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Thanks, guys! That worked.

Trivial inconsistency: one of you put getpass.py in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ and the other put it in /usr/lib/python2.5/ So I put it in both -- messy, I guess, but no problem so far.

Still no download percent indicator, but no big deal, either.

Great to have YouTube back on my N800!

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

hi, sorry for the noob question, but how do i get the getpass.py into the /usr/lib/python directory? i don't know how to access the directory

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

The percent indicator is working here!

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

You need to become root I think the easiest way is to install the sudser package then.
open an x-terminal maybe you need to install the x-terminal package too.
in the x-terminal type:
cd /home/user/where you placed the downloaded files
then
sudo cp youtube-dl /usr/bin/
sudo cp getpass.py /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/youtube-dl

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

thanks for the quick reply
ive placed it on my external memory but i’m not sure what to type in cause
cd /home/user/Removable memory card/ doesn’t work.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Honestly, I think the easiest method would be to install an ssh server on the tablet, then use an sftp client on the PC/MAC/Linux machine. I personally use Filezilla. Get the IP address of your tablet, and plug that information into filezilla. (To find this open the Connection manager and select Internet connection > IP address from the menu.) You will also need the root password, which you should set up when installing ssh.
Then, it's just a matter of navigating to the 2 directories and copying the files over. You can also chmod (change permissions) right from filezilla by right clicking on the files once they are copied over.

I don't think it really matters if you copy getpass.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages or /usr/lib/python2.5. I think python probably looks at both folders internally for any dependencies it needs.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Read this!

http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/

The external memory card files are in
/media/mmc1
so
cd /media/mmc1

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

thanks for your input. i installed both filezilla and openssh client and server. however, it hasn't asked me to set up a root password, so i'm a little stuck now. and looking at filezilla, will it ask me to set up a username as well? or is the username the name of the device?


thank you. after typing in cd /media/mmc1 it goes from ~$ to /media/mmc1 $
and when i try typing in sudo cp youtube-dl /usr/bin/ it gives me
cp: cannot stat 'youtube-dl'? No such file or directory
so i'm still a little stuck. but in the meantime i'll be reading the article you sent me, thanks

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Did you install the openssh server on your tablet? Many moons ago, when I installed it from the application manager, it asked me to enter a root password. Something may have changed since then.

Obviously, 'root' is your username.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

oh! it works! it works perfectly, with the numbers loading and everything. :D
thanks liquid217 and Engmex!

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Great app.
It works like a charm. Able to view and download the video on my N900.
But what I couldn't see is that, while playing the downloaded video inside mytube, its not able to pause.

Is it possible to pause the video ? If not, is it possible to add the pause/play/forward/reverse function ?

Thanks everyone for the effort.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

playback is handled by mplayer, try the spacebar ;)

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Im having trouble with this app, if downloaded it installed it, it finds what im after if i click play or download i can see the thing next to the time loading but it just stops nothing happends.....

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Mplayer doesn't pick up the downloaded media in the Video section. Would like a way to do this so i can view all my video downloads straight from Mplayer hub.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Excellent. works as you said. Even the arrow keys, works for forward/reverse.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Here is a deb file which should update the youtube-dl script for you automatically. It's my first time making a deb, so I hope it works right. (worked for me anyway).
Edit:
-It will replace the existing youtube-dl-x script, so you do not need to change anything in mYTube.
-It will also copy over the getpass.py to the site-packages directory.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

thanks liquid217, worked like a charm for my n800.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

The patch works great, thanks!

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

:)Mytube/N800 fixed! That was easy thanks to your patch liquid217 and engmex. Really appreciate your work. Thanks.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

i AM JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT THIS APP SO I AM KIND ABEHIND THE CURVE AS FAR AS UPDATES BUT DOES THIS THING DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDS TO THE N900?

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Apologies if a solution to this is buried within the many pages of this thread (I have searched) -

I can download and install Mytube OK but when I try to run it, it says "Creating Video Directory" but then resets to desktop!

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

I have the same problem and Here I asked, but no one replied.

Help us pleaseeee

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

try running it from the command line and see what kind of output you get. Just type "mytube" from the prompt.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Okay, I got it.

I installed OpenSSH Server + Client and logged in to delete the file

/home/user/.mytuberc

mYtube now wanted me to choose a new path

I chose
/home/user/MyDocs(in the device it's called N900)/Youtube(or whatever you want)

Now it starts but I can't watch the videos, it shows the first frame in Mplayer, nothing else :(
I also applied the patch

edit:rebooted the device and it plays dat shat :D

I hope that I can heldp others with my post :)

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

I get (amongst lots of things)

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/media/mtube'

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

I'm not a N900 user, but I would try what maemonk said above.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

Can someone walk me through this - unfortunately I have no knowledge of OpenSSH and I don;t want to break anything! Thanks

Shame really, I think mytube sounds really good.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released
 

You were already at the prompt. Just do:
rm /home/user/.mytuberc
