I've experienced this a few times and I've already fixed it for the next update.

Love Marxian, the Northern Soul boy \o/

For all the guys banging on about Caching.....download the damn videos! It ain't hard. Tick, tick, tick, tick - down arrow.....done!

'Kin 'ell. Gotta meet Marxian halfway here tbh and do something for ourselves rather than re-writing an App to accomodate demands that can easily be met by downloading.

If I was a developer, I would be beating people up by now lol.

can the cutetube player be in full screen insted of the annoying bar above ? or is this only happening to me ?

Thanks for the updates.

I get a segfault when using the command line -play with the latest versions, is it no more supported?

I broke it with some of the recent code changes. I'll see if I can fix it for the next update, which should be ready later today. The next release has support for Dailymotion and vimeo, so I want to add command line options for those videos too.

Any news on your BeBeCe player as I note you haven't updated that thread for a while?

I haven't had much time to work on it, as I've been working on the cuteTube update. After further research and testing, it seems that none of the available BBC streams will play on the device. I was hoping to use the iPhone stream, but some changes made by the BBC mean that it is no longer possible to access it.

Eventually, I managed to get the videos that I downloaded with cuteTube and get_iplayer working by using KMplayer + mplayer. MPlayer cannot be hw accellerated at the moment so initialise the playback then quickly press pause to locally cache. A glossy 360p, which looks "ok" (good but not amazing) on a 42"; importantly, no jumping though. Going over 360p (approx 500kbps) does cause jumping and sound to de-synchronise when video isn't h/w accellerated.

Bit off topic but I am currently working on a simple get_iplayer webpage-UI (js & ht/x-ml) but got to brush up on my cgi-scripting to actually retrieve the content. Nothing to compare with qml-/cute-Tube but better than trying to remember all the flags and settings for get_iplayer!

Edit:
Thanks for looking into this. The good news, I suppose, is that a download client does exist for iPlayer: However its commands are quite difficult to manage/remeber hence the need for a more user friendly client. As mentioned above, I had trouble playing iPlayer video with nokiaplayer but mplayer works ok - guess it's the way each accesses/uses the codecs.

Version 1.0.0 should be in extras-devel soon. Changelog:

* Added fully featured support for Dailymotion and vimeo.
* YouTube authentication is now performed via AuthSub, removing the need for password storage.
* Removed the need for YouTube login upon startup.
* Code re-factoring and minor bug-fixes.

The existing YouTube accounts table will be deleted, so you'll need to create a new account and authenticate using AuthSub (similar to OAuth 2.0). Both Dailymotion and vimeo use OAuth for authentication. You can create multiple accounts for each site, and switch between them as before.

Thanks a lot for the nice update. Was wondering whether there is any update of xtube with those javascript errors fixed?
