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

then

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.
