A workaround would be to set in the config-file, force_fallback => 1, which will use yt-dlp to extract the video URLs.

Thanks a lot, that was fast, I've replaced mplayer2-git with mplayer2 from community and the problem is solved.

trizen commented on 2011-06-11 18:54 (UTC)

Are you using mplayer2-git? There is the problem...

Hi, the script is great There's one problem, after I watch one video it becomes kind of crazy, it keeps showing different results every one second, and no matter what I write at prompt, it gets erased every second too. I dont't know if there's something wrong whith my box configuration or if it's a bug. Thank's

trizen commented on 2011-06-07 10:36 (UTC)

You are right, something was wrong. Now everything should work fine...

With youtube-downloader I always get an option to download 240p videos, so they are available. But it's forbidden to stream them? I don't completely understand, sorry. But mp4 instead of flv also helps, so thanks for that!

trizen commented on 2011-06-07 06:12 (UTC)

1. I'm not sure 2. 240p (itag=5) is forbidden by Youtube, so I added support for 360p MP4 which is smaller than 360p FLV (MP4=6MB, FLV=7.1MB) (-2 to activate)

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-06-03 21:24 (UTC)

Other question, could you add an option -2 to play videos with 240p? It's because when I'm at home in my parent's house, the internet is so slow, that 240p is the only way to view youtube videos fluently. I'm sure there are other people out there who have to suffer under such a slow internet connection.

Is there a way to enable livestreams like on http://www.youtube.com/sport1 ?

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-04-08 23:26 (UTC)

Weird bug: When pasting a short youtube link (like http://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0) on to youtube-viewer it snags information for the author info from 2 videos back and the title from the previous video Kind of weird because the short url isn't that special, only a redirection.

trizen commented on 2011-03-22 18:11 (UTC)

Would be great, but I don't think this is possible, only to download the video first and extract audio after...
