Does the download progress indicator show "NaN%" when it hangs?

I've had that problem for ages now. I've come to the conclusion that it's a problem with Youtube itself as that's the site it happens on the most. Something like 7 out of 10 videos will do that. Only 1 in 10 will fail on the Vimio site.

No actually its when i try to log into my youtube account, so i can access my playlists, uploaded videos, etc. it gets stuck just after authorising my account and does not save the details.

Thanks for the reply anyways. :)

Are you using an ISP that blocks adult content? I had a problem with 3 assuming that www.cutetube.com is a porn site. This is the address that YouTube redirects to after you authorise cuteTube to access your account.

The only other possible problem is a database issue. You could try deleting the database by opening xterm and entering

Code:

rm - R /home/user/.config/cuteTube/Databases
You will lose all your current settings if you do this.

Database corruption seems to have happened to a few users, which is one of the reasons why I moved all the config stuff to QSettings for the Meego-Harmattan version.

I had the same issue about downloading videos, and I confirm that deleting the DB solved the problem. Thanks.

To start off your program is phenomenal. It is by far one of the best apps to have, but is there any chance there could be a "this week" or "this month" filter in the search?

Also can "worldstarhiphop.com" be searched as well or at least display their latest videos?

I find that the cutetube widget does not work after a while, at first I was able to see my latest subsrpt. videos, but now it will just display "No Videos Found".

Also how does vimeo work? Everytime I try searching, the vimeo tab is always loading.

If you order the results by date published, that will effectively achieve the same result.

There isn't any room for additional sites. I want to focus on providing the best UX possible, so if anything I will probably take it back to YouTube only. That's what I have done with the N9 version, and it is much better as a result.

I haven't used the widget for quite a while, so I'll need to take a look at that. I can't think of any reason why it should stop working, unless there is a problem with the access token. Can you view the other video feeds in the widget?

I have had problems getting the vimeo API to work when the IP address is different that the one I used when I registered the application. They are blocking the requests. I will remove vimeo access from the next release. I would have done this already, but I need to wait for the MeeGo Coding Competition voting to be completed.

At some point I will try porting the N9 version to Maemo5. It's much nicer than this version. :) I'm busy with the Symbian version atm. Once that is released, I will start looking at what work needs to be done.

Hi Marxian,
Just wanted to ask whether you will add the possibility to set the privacy status to the uploading feature. Currently, I can upload files from Cutetube, but I can't set it to private or not listed - need to open YT in the browser for that.

xtube proves it can handle plugins - perhaps people could write plugins for the sites they want to use it for?

That feature has previously been included, but I removed it when I discovered that it wasn't working. The </private> tag was being set when uploading, but for some reason it didn't take effect. I didn't want users to believe their videos were being uploaded as private when in fact they were not. I will try to fix it and reintroduce the feature. :)

i just have this fear that if you ever abondon maemo too, i'll be stuck with this rolls royce that won't start ...

Thanks gawd for that! :)

I'm keeping mine too. I'm getting another secondhand one so I can experiment with it more.

But Android and the Motorola Milestone 2 is gonna be my next phone though I'm never getting rid of the N900. I bet there is no YouTube program anywhere near as good as as CuteTube on Android.

The official YouTube client on Android is quite nice, though I find the UI to be a bit cramped, especially in landscape mode, where you can often only see one video in the list at a time, because most of the space is taken up by other things. Also there is no download feature. ;) It does look more polished than cuteTube, though I think the N9 version takes care of that one, as well as having a lot of backend improvements and some new features. I'll be porting that to the N900 once Qt Components become more mature on Freemantle. I haven't tried any third-party YouTube applications on Android, so I can't comment on those.

I can't say I blame you for going Android. I prefer Maemo, but seeing as Nokia have now decided to 'outsimplify the iPhone', there isn't much choice out there for anyone wanting a new device.

Some while ago, I used to use the Maemo built-in sharing client for uploading video to Youtube (which imo is pretty much the coolest way EVAR to share videos :cool:) via that sharing plugin made by Pixelpipe (now disappeared from Ovi store). That one had exactly the same problem, it offered the option to make an upload private, but the setting wouldn't actually take effect. Also it never implemented the "not-listed" privacy setting.
Same is true for the "official" Youtube sharing plugin that replaced it in the Ovi store. This one's still there, but doesn't work as it's out of date.
Marxian, don't you wanna make a fresher version of that sometime, one that's compatible with the current Youtube? That would be a truly awesome addition to cutetube!! :D
In fact, if you're not interested, I'm gonna throw this out there as a request to whoever still feels bold enough to add new things to old Maemo :)

It seems that none of the feeds that require authentication (favourites, uploads and subscription videos) are working. It must be an issue with using the access token. I probably broke something in one of the cuteTube updates. I'll have a look at the widget code and see if I can fix it. I'm not allowed to update the main application until the MeeGo Coding Competition voting is completed.

Still no go with downloading Youtube videos.
One that I have been trying to download tonight is Lifehouse All in. If anyone could try that one and let me know if you have any success with downloading it.
If it works for you, then I'm gonna reflash this weekend, because everything else I've tried hasn't solved the issue.

I was able to download that video without any problem. It sounds to me like you might have some filesystem errors in MyDocs. I have had this in the past, where some directories became read-only.

You can check by going to the parent directory of the download location and using the ls -l command. So, if your download location is /home/user/MyDocs/cuteTube, you enter

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs/
then

Code:

ls -l
This will give you a list of permissions for any files or directories within MyDocs.

Another way of checking would be to simply attempt to move or copy a file to the download directory. If it fails, then you know there is a problem.

There is a nice walkthrough on fixing N900 filesystem errors at http://www.adminlinux.org/2010/04/no...-readonly.html

Using the umount procedure in that tutorial seems to have fixed it. Managed to make 4 successful Youtube downloads in a row last night.

Thankees for your help :)

i've just noticed that gpodder allows me to search youtube and download videos. i assume it does this through some youtube rss interface. would using the rss api/interface it be a good way to get around this recurring problem? i assume the rss interface would present you with the location of the video directly and simply?

gPodder uses the same (or similar) method as cuteTube to retreive the video stream. The RSS feed has the same data as the one I use in cuteTube. The API allows you to specify the format of the response.

ah! as george w. used to say , i 'misunderestimated' what gpodder was doing. so gpodder doesn't have a nice plaintext link to the video .mp4 and so is open to being obsoleted by youtube changes...
thanks, i've learned something.

I don't remember the default folder, but you can change it.

Pulse the tool icon (left lower corner, if you're on potrait, where the light led is, kinda).

Then scroll down to: Donwload location (Ther you can see the default folder and change it whatever you want).

Greetings.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 
Hi,

Thanks for the great app. Its a well done app but still I have couple of improvement ideas. First of all, what I often check from youtube is the most popular videos. Therefore the only option is now to select categories and most viewed and it shows the most viewed of today? I would like to see the most viewed of the week and of the month also. Moreover if I press back-button it returns to front page, not to the category list.

Im looking forward to see improvements...
