gtk-youtube-viewer (for lots of pups)
Youtube-viewer at 333MHz 256MB RAM Thinkpad 390e
Lupu 5.2.8.6 (latest) mini. Uses 50MB memory to boot, less if I kill ROX-filer, freememapplet, etc. Changed roxterm to urxvt as defaultterminal.
This all saves some cpu time and memory, mostly memory.
Youtube-viewer and gtk-youtube-viewer both work at 240p, but not 360p even with --framedrop. Made a script viewtube
youtube-viewer --resolution=240
Alt-F10 expands mplayer from phone-sized to full screen fuzzy.
Tried without X in a real terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and got a squished image.
On other laptops mplayer plays correctly -vo fbdev. Could try Xorg instead of Xvesa. The limiting factor is not memory but cpu speed and X uses memory but not much cpu. Mplayer uses about 50% cpu at 240p which implies 9/4 x 50% (over 100%) at 360p. Not a stutter at 240p.
240p mplayer also works at 233MHz with 96MB RAM and movgrab.
youtube-viewer is perl 5.10 based. Can someone in the know get it to work in puppy 4 with perl files added to the package? I tried and failed.

I have Lucid 520 and had downloaded the GTK Youtube viewer for Lucid a while back. I have since downloaded and installed it again.
But when I run it and try doing a search, the search never completes now whereas it used to work fine.
Has Youtube changed anything that would cause Youtube viewer to not work?

I want to clarify my statement of GTK Youtube Viewer for Lucid not working.
It works fine in Lupu 5.5 and up. But not with Lupu 520 on my PC.
This PC has 4gigs of memory, dual core processor, and the Invidia graphics driver installed.
Since I can still get videos using Lupu 5.5, and also Slacko using the version for it, I have work arounds.
I do not know what is different in Lupu 520 that interferes as starting the application from a terminal does not give any errors at any point.

I tried the slacko 5.4 pet on slacko 5.6 but it does not start the viewer and it gives the following message:
If I rename /usr/bin/perl5.16.3 to /usr/bin/perl5.16.1 the viewer window opens up fine and I can download or play some videos, but most fail to download, leaving correctly named but empty text files in /root.
Do you think it is a simple matter to change the perl version in slacko 5.6, or to modify gtk-viewer to work with perl5.16.3?
Code: Select all
# bash: ./gtk-youtube-viewer: /usr/bin/perl5.16.1: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Odd.. my previous troubles have cleared. MPlayer works again, as do dwnlds.
Greengeek, while the problem's probably YTs coding, lose the rename and try the real deal.

2. open the PPM, type perl into the find box and install these....
libwww-perl
perl-gtk2
perl-pango
3. type lxterminal into the find box and install that.
4. open a terminal then highlite the following and paste it into the terminal with 'middle click' and press return just click ok to any questions
5. grab the youtube-viewer tarball from here https://code.google.com/p/trizen/
6. unzip the package and navigate to the folder with the build file, right click in the window and choose 'window' then 'terminal here'
7. paste this into the terminal and press return
and that's it ... there's some of the missing icons attached below if you want them

Hi there. I really liked your GTK Youtube Viewer application. I had used it with no problems at Precise Puppy. My problem started to uninstall an application that I used and did not help me (can not remember which application it was), but I installed after installing the GTK Youtube Viewer.
Now from terminal me this error message:
http://postimg.org/image/o11sn5l7v/[/url]
Now from terminal me this error message:
A picture is worth a thousand words:mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
http://postimg.org/image/o11sn5l7v/[/url]
sorry for the late reply
seems you've uninstalled mplayer .... either reinstall or use vlc
