Nice !! Does it still work on older puppies e.g. precise, wary ?Argolance wrote: I made pet and sfs files from the original pet package:

I am currently using it with ToOpPy (based on Puppy Precise)! So should work on older Puppies...fredx181 wrote:Nice !! Does it still work on older puppies e.g. precise, wary ?
[EDIT 1]: Updated to 3.7.4-2, see the message above.
[EDIT 2]: Some "translatable" chains inside the *.glade file introduce problem if... translated! The "Search for videos" function doesn't work properly > "Something went wrong". The words anytime, days, weeks, months, years must stay as they are, in English (that said, for potential translators). I already noticed this strange behavior in the previous 3.5.0 version but it has not been corrected by the creator of GTK YouTube Viewer (don't know if it is the same in the 64 bit version?) and I forgot it.
So, I reloaded the 3.7.4-2 PET and SFS with the corrected French *.glade file.
Sorry!
Cordialement.
Has anyone had any luck logging into your youtube accounts?
The "click here to get the authentication code" button doesn't do anything, so I went to google and requested the OAuth authentication code and put it into the box, but it doesn't do anything for me.
Is it broken or am I missing something?

Bonsoir,
Maybe you can fill manually data inside the file gtk-youtube-viewer/cde-root/root/.config/youtube-viewer/api.json?
Cordialement.
This is probably due to the fact that access to the internet via a web browser is not functional, at least in the 32 bit version...dancytron wrote:The "click here to get the authentication code" button doesn't do anything, so I went to google and requested the OAuth authentication code and put it into the box, but it doesn't do anything for me.

You have to sign up for both an api key and the Oauth authentication, put the values in the .json file, then apparently wait a while for it to propagate, THEN press the button in my screenshot and authorize the application.
I opened it via terminal with "gtk-youtube-viewer -debug" when it worked, but I don't know if that made a difference.
See https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer about 2/3's the way down the page and the 2 linked help desk calls for more detailed instructions.
Thanks,
Dan
gtk-youtube-viewer 3.7.4-2 SFS 3.7.4 PET Precise 571-light
The SFS works perfectly, GUI version. I did not check the PET as GUI.
I run yt-viewer from a terminal instead of the GUI,
by typing the following two lines (or making a script yt4)
For the SFS:
cd /usr/local/gtk-youtube-viewer
/youtube-viewer.cde --res=480p
For the PET cd to where you unpacked it instead
It works despite two error messages:
[!]Invalid client_id:
[!]Invalid client_secret:
Many thanks to everyone who worked on this. I had been watching
videos on a 4" screen for months now (Newpipe Legacy - which does
not let you specify video length or date).

That has to do with the same as dancytron mentioned above:sindi wrote:It works despite two error messages:

For to login you need to edit /usr/local/gtk-youtube-viewer/cde-root/root/.config/youtube-viewer/api.json by adding the client_id and client_secret keys.See https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer about 2/3's the way down the page and the 2 linked help desk calls for more detailed instructions.
EDIT: Not sure if login works with this cde-package setup, didn't test.

straw-viewer
Thanks for the link. I see that the youtube-viewer straw-viewer does not require any keys.
Has anyone packaged it for puppy linux? Slackware has it. I don't need it.

How to turn off captions?
What file do I edit to turn off captions in youtube-viewer?
The latest PET works perfectly in Tahr 6.05 on a 2003 Thinkpad T41.
(Wifi works with Network Wizard only).

quirky-142-BABY works with youtube-viewer on 2006 HP dv5000
No additional libraries or other files are needed to view videos with the 87MB-download BABY quirky 1.42 with kernel 2.6.32.28 from 2011 (older kernel than Precise 5.7.1 light or Tahr 6.05 noPAE).
More libraries are needed for recent browsers (Pale Moon 28.9.1 or Firefox68 ESR).
93% CPU is used at 480p resolution (which often displays at 720p) and the audio is out of sync sometimes.

youtube-viewer.conf to eliminate captions
To eliminate captions, change 1 to 0 in youtube-viewer.conf.
I unpackaged the PET with tar -zxvf and found the config file at:
/mnt/home/yt-viewer.....pkg/cde-root/root/.config/youtube-viewer.conf
and gtk-youtube-viewer.conf
Sometimes when using the command-line version I can no longer see anything I am typing until I exit and start the viewer again.

EDIT: I've read previous posts better now after posting the below, I'm not sure what exactly you're using and what could cause the problems, sorry if below is useless info...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's no youtube-viewer .pet for Precise (perl version in precise is too old), but there is for Tahr, see here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 59#1009159
(note that the pet package name is 3.5.3 but in reality it's gtk-youtube-viewer v3.5.0)
EDIT: see also older version and info: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 18#1007818
If you're depending on a cde-package try (if you don't have that version already):
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/sxo ... ar.gz?dl=1
Shared here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 85#1008585
It proved to be the best working cde-package (after some failed attempts, see earlier pages)
Extracts to folder: yt-viewer-3.5.0_youtube-dl
Updating youtube-dl from version 2018.10.29 to latest works for me:Or try the .pet or .sfs based on it from Argolance, see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 65#1010065 (cde-package, as .pet or .sfs)Code: Select all

Updated youtube-dl. Restart youtube-dl to use the new version. root@live:/mnt/sda5/yt-viewer-3.5.0_youtube-dl# ./youtube-dl.cde --version 2020.01.24
EDIT:Download with curl and make executable:How do I update the youtube-dl in (gtk)-youtube-viewer?
The old one from two weeks ago cannot find URLs.
I tried to update it with ...... youtube-dl -U and it said it updated but I still have the same version of youtube-dl.
(Ran youtube-dl from cde-root with cde-exec).and manually replace in cde-root/usr/local/binCode: Select all
curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o youtube-dl chmod a+rx youtube-dl

Hi PipzDex,

Login how-to:
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer#logging-in
The exact location of api.json depends on which package you use, the "portable cde-package":
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 16#1052516
Or the .sfs or .pet from Argolance:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 44#1054444
Anyway it's in ...../cde-root/root/.config/youtube-viewer/api.json

You'll need to edit the api.json file. See also dancytron's post here:Hi fredx181

Youtube-viewer not working again (403 error)
Today youtube-viewer can no longer find any videos.
403 Forbidden. Error occurred on URL: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=......
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt..........
I confirmed this on four laptops all with Precise 5.7.1-light kernel 3.14.56 noPAE.
I had it working for about three days. Google got ahead of us again.

It could be that the API key was temporarily disabled because of too many people using it at the same time (there are quota for that , e.g. max users per day or max user per 100 seconds, something like that, don't know really)
Currently (default) my personal api key is being used (in root/.config/youtube-viewer/api.json)
Perhaps a bit naive, but I didn't expect many people would use this gtk-youtube-viewer setup.
So, let's wait and see, please report here if anyone gets the 403 error again.
Best is, to be on the safe side, to get your own personal API key and add it in api.json, you need a google account for that.

EDIT: 21 April, still working OK.

ASUS U5F will not run youtube-viewer
Using the same package and script as on other laptops. the U5F will not run youtube-viewer. I tried with Precise571-retro Precise-571-light (kernel 3.14.56) and Tahr 6.05.
The laptop keyboard keys have English and traditional Chinesecharacters.
In Precise Light (kernel 3.14.56) the touchpad and keyboard may also freeze up but only in X. I will try kernel 4.4, which fixed similar problems on another Asus.

ASUS U5F is unusable with kernel 4.4 noPAE Precise Light 571
Touchpad and keyboard are completely unusable as soon as I boot. so I cannot even test without X. This did not fix the youtube-viewer problem.
ASUS netbook EEEPC 10 inch also did not run Precise Light.
Tahr works on both of these. Wary works except for fbcon.

gtk-youtube-viewer very slow to start playing a video
Something was wromg with the PET package. I started over and the ASUS now plays videos. The SFS also works.
I notice that gtk-youtube-viewer takes much longer to start playing than the non-GUI youtube-viewer. On another 2006 laptop it takes over 2 min to start playing. While loading gtk-youtube-viewer there are numerous complaints about lines 340 and 3502 and plugins.
The lASUS U5F aptop cannot be made to work with Precise Light kernel 44 (noPAE -freezes) or 41 (PAE - does not recognize wifi or eth0 and several keys do not work properly in the vt) or k31456 (noPAE - freezes). If I shut the laptop off (power key) after k41, when I turn it on again the arrow keys do not work to choose between OSes with grub4dos - I can only choose the first or last one listed. The problem fixed itself overnight with laptop off.
Tahr works properly, as does Wary 5.5. Tahr plays youtube.
