I'm not sure how cde works exactly, but I think it can "look" outside of the cde-root (for e.g. mplayer), but the dependencies need to be present inside.
Also I think mplayer2 cannot work with youtube-viewer, I only had success with latest mplayer from Stretch.
the youtube-viewer .conf file is set to --fullscreen, which may explain why videos play properly at 480p in DebianDog but in Puppies with the CDE package they play 'fullscreen' meaning
Don't really know why the --fullscreen is in the config file, anyway for me it doesn't play fullscreen (if I configure 480p, it works as expected)
What's in the config file is the resolution of my laptop, indeed maybe try to change according to your resolution, e.g:

480p on 2004 Inspiron 1150
Posted: Sat 31 Mar 2018, 17:59
by sindi
2004 DELL Inspiron 1150 with 855GM integrated Intel video. In Wary linux.
(Lupu crashes with old intel driver, and sulu1 and later do not do fbcon).
512MB RAM PC2100. Can also use PC2700 but I don't have extra 512MB SODIMMs of either.
CPU tests out about as fast as a 2001 DELL 8100 but the video chip is faster.
ipw2100B internal mini-PCMCIA card downloading at 1/2 of 11Mpbs or 5.4Mbps.
Comparison of youtube in a browser (html5) and with youtube-viewer.
Palemoon playing directly at youtube.com.
Youtube set it to auto 144p then 240p after a while then 360p (very jerky).
At 240p VSZ% 110% for palemoon and 30% for X. Plus 97% of CPU.
Looks okay despite the VSZ value. Would probably be jerky with a lot of action.
youtube-viewer in X works much better.
480p plays with 32-42% CPU for mpv and 10% for cde.exe.
VSZ% 75% mpv and 28% X which adds to 103%.
720p 85% cpu for mpv, 9% for cde-exec, 2% for X.
VSZ% 34% mpv, 29% X.
Another video:
CPU mpv 84-88% cde-exe 7% X 2%
VSZ% 29% mpv, 29% X, about 20% rxvt bash sh jwm etc.
720p overfills the screen until I hit F and takes longer to buffer than 480p (at 5.4Mbps).
This laptop only does 8-bit color in console framebuffer mode (allocates 1MB of onboard RAM to framebuffer).
No point in playing in framebuffer console (at 8-bit color) and besides it can handle 720p in X (better than
a DELL 600M also 2004 but with different graphics).
gtk-youtube-viewer worked on the first video I tried.
Set to 720p, it played 480p at over 100% VSZ% and 61% CPU.
Does not play any other videos including the same one a second time.
If I restart gtk-youtube-viewer it still won't play anything.
After which youtube-viewer still plays videos.
youtube viewer full screen on 2003 Toshiba M35-S359

by sindi
1.4GHz CPU, nvidia, plays youtube in palemoon at 240p with 53% of CPU used by palemoon, 40%by X, and the rest by other things. Theater mode is impossible.
Youtube-viewer plays full-screen (720p) with 39% CPU mpv, 7% cde-exe, and 48% X. No jerkiness. With fbdev even slower cpus would work at 720p (without X using half the CPU power). I should try my P3 Inspiron 8100 in X.
The Toshiba has a gorgeous non-glare wide screen and Harmon Kardon speakers, and was not usable with Youtube until now. I upgraded to 768MB and may try again to use vlc in Tahr.
It was $1450 new after rebates 15 years ago and is like new again!
My dyslexic partner learned to click on rxvt and type yt then choose subject. No need for uxterm or (buggy) gtk-youtube-viewer.

Hi Fred - thanks for youtube-viewer - it is working well on Slacko 5.6
I cannot figure out if this downloading the video file or just streaming it. Is there an easy way to replay the video once it has been viewed? Or does it have to be selected and streamed again?
Just thinking that it would be nice (and a bandwidth saving) if the file existed in memory after the first viewing, so that it could be replayed.
cheers!

Just streaming, normally used, but (as you might know) there's also option to download video's.
Is there an easy way to replay the video once it has been viewed? Or does it have to be selected and streamed again?
You mean from "cache" or something ? I don't think so, but not sure.
EDIT: Sorry, misunderstood, you just mean replay, again not sure, but I think it needs selected and streamed again.

for downloading , use palemoon extensions (here Dpup stretch Hu, loader alreaday set by Skamilinux Team in palemoon) : complete you tube saver
a second one could be needed for different sites, as Dailymotion

fredx181,
it seems I can't close the mpv windows even after the vewer's closed ...?
They behave as if they're bugs ...
Then I hear a few secs of music and that's all ..

Hi fredx181 - is there a thread for your non-gtk version? You have made it really easy to use with all the stuff you built in ad maybe it should have its own thread?
I couldn't work out how to use it to download - but I also wondered if there is way to get it to play sequentially through the specific list that it displays in response to a search?
Also (sorry for all the questions) - how do you display the first few items when the search returns 20 or more results and only displays the end ones. I can't seem to scroll up. (Slacko 5.6 here)
cheers!

Hi all, here's a new cde package yt-viewer-3.1.5, same as first shared here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 978#986978
But made some fixes:
- the config files (in cde-root/root/.config/youtube-viewer/) are not included.
By first running gtk-youtube-viewer.cde or youtube-viewer.cde they will be automatically generated (as it should be, and will be according to e.g. your resolution).
- The script youtube-viewer.cde should be run from terminal now (no uxterm opening by just clicking on it) and accepts options same as original youtube-viewer, for example (from ReadMe-youtube-viewer.cde inside extracted folder):
./youtube-viewer.cde --res=480p # resolution 480p
Or:
./youtube-viewer.cde --res=360p -d # resolution 360p and download only video
Or:
./youtube-viewer.cde --res=360p -d -dp # resolution 360p, download and play video
For full help:
./youtube-viewer.cde --help
EDIT: In the ReadMe it says ./youtube-viewer.cde --res=480p -dp for download and play, that's wrong, should be "-d -dp"
Also, for info, downloading doesn't always work with the correct resolution, e.g. if 480p is not available, it will download e.g. 720p.
And: The downloaded video(s) will be by default in cde-root/ directory

Sorry, I can't reproduce that.

I'm not very familiar with youtube-viewer (mostly used gtk-youtube-viewer), see for how to download above but your other question I can't answer.
Also (sorry for all the questions) - how do you display the first few items when the search returns 20 or more results and only displays the end ones. I can't seem to scroll up. (Slacko 5.6 here)
That could be solved if you use updated package (then can use terminal of choice that supports scrolling)

Thanks Fred, working well for me - with one exception - the first version allowed me to click youtube-viewer.cde and it would open directly in terminal.
Now when I click youtube-viewer it does nothing. I have to open a terminal in that directory and enter ./youtube-viewer before it will start.
Any ideas why that behaviour would have changed on my system? (Slacko 5.6)
cheers!

That's on purpose and changed for the better IMO, now you can use the youtube-viewer options as it should be, e.g. (from terminal)
With previous package it just opened a terminal by clicking, which was convenient, but you were not able to add any parameters such as "--res=480p" (set resolution) or "-d" (download only).

Hi, here's a gtk-youtube-viewer pet for radky's
Dpup Stretch 7.5 CE (RC-2)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1e2 ... 1.pet?dl=1
The perl dependencies (modules) are included and also "youtube-dl" (in /usr/local/bin).
Dpup Stretch has mpv and mplayer, but I'd recommend using mpv (mplayer has problems seeking with some resolutions (crashing) )
For gtk-youtube-viewer, go in Preferences and change to mpv, like this:
For youtube-viewer (CLI), run it from terminal:
youtube-viewer --video-player=mpv
(or change to mpv in the config file: ~/.config/youtube-viewer/youtube-viewer.conf)

Hello Fred,
Thanks for the work you've done to bring this back. I used the old version before it stopped working. Very useful on an old machine. Have just "installed" your new cde package yt-viewer-3.1.5 on the 2016 version of lucid and it's working. I did not know what a "cde package" was so had a look at your link and am now using it as if it was a portable app. Have also tried it on an updated version of racy 55 and it is also working on it. I see from your "read me" that it can be used just to download a video using the command line. Is it possible to do this using the gui? If not when the video is downloaded is it stored somewhere I could save it from before it is played?
Regards,
Ken.

Hi Ken

Yes, by right-click on an item > "Download selected video".
It will be downloaded by default to cde-root/.

Don't know how you get that number, not correct, youtube-viewer_3.3.1.pet is only 4MB !

Hi Fred - sorry to be easily confusable (
) but is that pet a new version of the youtube-viewer (as the link suggests) or is it definitely a version of the gtk-youtube-viewer? (I haven't used these things before and need to be sure i am grabbing the right item)
cheers!

Hi greengeek, yes, a bit confusing maybe.
The pet contains both (same as the cde-package contains both, btw), gtk-youtube-viewer (GUI) has Menu entry (Multimedia) and the command youtube-viewer can be run (with options) from terminal.
