Minitube 1.5 in soccorso

Aug 072011

Minitube è una applicazione per guardare i film su YouTube senza usare Flash o il browser, ne ho parlato in un articolo precedente.

Ma da qualche tempo ci sono dei problemi e l’applicazione non è stata più in grado di caricare correttamente il video youtube (questo è vero con la versione 1.4.3 da circa un mese).

Flavio ha rilasciato il 5 di agosto una nuova release, la 1.5 che risolve questo problema

Eccomi qui con una nuova release che risolve il problema e aggiunge alcune caratteristiche. Grazie a Mike Holenderski per avermi inviato i dettagli relativi alle modifiche di YouTube che hanno fatto smetetre di funzionare Minitube. Oltre a guardare i video di nuovo, è ora possibile fare drag’n’drop dei link di YouTube dal proprio browser alla finestra Minitube. Inoltre, Minitube ora è più tollerante su quali URL sono effettivamente URL di YouTube.

Installazione

I binari di Minitube 1.5 possono essere scaricati dalla pagina ufficiale
O se si sta utilizzando Ubuntu (10.04-11.04) si può usare un PPA mantenuto da Roberto Ferramosca (dal famoso sito italiano: http://www . lffl.org / ).

Per utilizzarlo è sufficiente aprire il teminal e scrivere

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/minitube
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade (if you already had minitube)
sudo aptitude install minitube (to install it)

Buon divertimento con questa nuova release di Minitube, una delle mie applicazioni desktop preferito.

Ubuntu 10.04. It does very nicely.
My only problem is the colors are washed out.
Is there a way to better render the colors?

  all the way down screen shows correctly.

      Did video for compiz ubuntu 10.04. Its first screen could
      have been more crisp. Then when the “Compiz action” started
      the new moving images were washed out.
      I did a second session of the above with the same results.
      When I ended the session and returned to the terminal I had
      the following. Hope this helps.

        The only thing that come to my mind it’s some incompatibility between Compiz and Minitube, on XFCE (without compiz or any effect) it’s perfect.
        Have you tried to disable Comiz 8just to make a test) ?

I think it is my desktop machine that is the problem.
I installed Minitube on my laptop and it runs
normally.
I do have Compiz on the machine but it has not
been enabled for more than a year.
I had selected a Compiz video from Youtube and it
ran normally. As previously indicated when the
same program was viewed on Minitube the video
images were washed out.
Today I searched Youtube “how to fix flush valve”.
I selected the first item “how to fix a toilet –
flush valve replacement – part 1 of 2” a 2:53 min
video.
I ran the video from Youtube and it ran normally.
As previously indicated when the same program was
viewed on Minitube the video images were washed out.
