My goal is to stream Youtube without a browser on computers not fast enough to stream with a browser. There are free sites that convert Youtube to downloadable MP4 but I think they all need javascript (graphical) browsers to work. I don't want to download and then exit the browser to play because it takes as long to download as to play.
I could not get Wary to boot on my Thinkpad 560X 233MHz with 160MB RAM. Lilo won't work and it won't boot from the spinning CD in the base station. BIOS setup (hold F1 during boot) does not mention boot order. Too old to boot from USB CD-ROM drive.
The mplayer in Pulp03 (4.1.2-based) looks like it is playing but no sound (though aplay does work). xine played an mp3 file once but never again. Another binary of mplayer (compiled for P55C - i586) works on this 560x in an older linux (basiclinux) but not in Pulp (the required libc6-based libs are not recognized by ldd).
If there is some way to stream MP4 without using a graphical browser to download I will try to get some mplayer working in some version of puppy 4. Mplayer can also use vesa or fb instead of x11 on compatible hardware. (The 560X does not do framebuffer). They use less RAM than X.

youtube-dl ,cclive, are terminal based youtube downloaders for low spec gear. Linterna Magica can use mplayer for playing youtube videos.
Greasemonkey and user scripts I use on a daily basis covers a lot of bases. One must do their own research for what user script will fit the function that one wants to use on the web.

anyhows, I am just testing gtk-youtube-viewer. I can live without it. I was
the 3.0.9 post and figured peebee went through the trouble to build it.
So what the heck. I fit the specs to test it.
I did not make my links click-able because this forum likes to erase too many click-able links posts.
