In ~/.config/cuteTube/cuteTube.conf I've set my cuteTube download directory to /home/user/MyDocs/Movies as I want to avoid cluttering the device with useless directories. I aim to have all my video files in the same place as I'm in opinion that video is a video anyway.
Videos are downloaded into ~/MyDocs/Movies allright, but the cuteTube itself is unable to play them (it needs a subdirectory named cuteTube for showing archived stuff). It's not a huge issue since I can use other players to watch the movies, but it would be nice to have ability to watch downloaded (and other) videos in the cuteTube itself.
cuteTube is not designed to play local videos other than those downloaded within the application. That's the purpose of having the subfolder. It prevents other videos being listed in the archive.
Using the latest 1.4.4 version on my n900, i noticed that when I select mplayer as my renderer, multiple mplayer instances open when trying to watch a video. I tested other renderers (such as kmplayer which is a frontend for mplayer) and it only seems to happen with mplayer.
edit: interesting, upon restarting it no longer does this. I did just reproduce it by switching from 'media player' to 'mplayer' without restarting the program.
It seems that the video launcher method is called twice (when using an external media player). It won't be noticeable with kmplayer or the stock media player, because these are called via dbus, so the existing instance is called again to play the video. mplayer is called using QProcess (it doesn't have a dbus service), so a second instance will be created if the method is called twice.
It seems that the process is not terminated when you close the application. I have never experienced this on my device, so maybe it's something else that you have installed that is preventing termination. Can you try launching cuteTube from the terminal and then closing the application? There might be some useful output.
To launch from terminal, enter the following:
Code:
/opt/cutetube/bin/cutetube
i have finally been able to do that. This is the outcome:

Download and install the latest 1.4.4 on the front page. Audio download should be fixed now (I've been using it).
Dear marxian,
thanks in advance for Your wonderful app!
I was only wondering why the application is not in the maemo repository and thus why it is not directly upgradable to 1.4.4 with a simple "apt-get upgrade" rather than dowloading separately the app from ubuntuone and then installing it manually with dpkg...

Autobuilder is not working so developers cannot release updates to the repositories ATM.
FYI it is best to use HAM when updating packages.
