It is still possible to save 200-300K on a 1MB file (UPX has better compression than jffs2), but the CPU/RAM cost of UPX may outweigh the benefit.
I knew that before using UPX and I decided to test and I was pretty happy with the result, CPU usage is high when starting the app but in a few seconds into the video (which you can't even notice any stuttering at the start of the video), it calms down.
Plus I'm always untarring compressed bz2's from my rootfs onto my rootfs
The option to download HIGH QUALITY VIDEOS (&fmt=6 in browser or -f6 in youtube-dl) needs to be enabled.
When youtube-dl-x (the default that accompanies mytube) is replaced with the generic youtube-dl (downloaded from the net) and the option -f6 is added to the settings under [preferences]
[more]
[youtube-dl] tab
i.e. (youtube-dl -f6 -o %d --%s) ,
pressing the play button downloads and plays high quality videos if available for that chosen video.
However, the "percent downloaded" counter is missing and playback does not start until the file is fully downloaded.
IS there a way to restore this functionality?
THe option to play a high quality version of a video whenever available would be the best feature.
const_video_url_real_str = 'http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=%s&t=%s&fmt=6' not this line
const_video_url_str = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s&fmt=6'
works with fmt=6, fmt=18 seems to work as well, but it's too much for mplayer to handle
Hmm, this got me looking... using cropdetect would allow letterboxed HQ vides to be played fullscreen. I tried it out with beaker's "ode to joy" and it worked quite well on the HQ vid. It would require a one time post process when the video was downloaded.

Thanks ..... works wonderfully!
If only there was a way to set it to download normal quality only if high quality does not exist.... It would be perfect!
