[COLOR="Magenta"][B]Sorry i have updated it all i hope this all works now if not tell me ill try again[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/zm1f9x.png[/IMG]

now lets get this installed.

  1. install Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

  1. install YouTotem script

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25481 Please remember to also install all the gstreamer plugins and audo video codecs such as ugly packs etc

sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc

you will need to install videoLan player 9.9 i have not tested with the new version of 1.0.0 so remember if you have new version it might not work with the javascript files

  1. restart Firefox

little more tips ! for you

  1. when you install vlc you also need the vlc Mozilla plug-in
  2. you also need all the Totem gstreamer codec etc installed
  3. mplayer just needs to be installed with plug-in like the rest

more Tips, you can use ctrl { not sure it might be alt plus > right key} + > key to move forward in video using vlc, while in totem doesn't seem to work. in all players, you can double click the video to go full screen, you can pause video by pressing your space bar. :D

[COLOR="Magenta"]sorry you will also need to install VLC-mozilia-plugin and totem with all the gstreamer audio video codec packs[/COLOR]

make sure you install

videolan, with mozillia vlc web plugin or update your totem player.:KS

down with adobe flash !!! burn adobe books

#3

It seems a bunch of people are getting the following error message when they browse to a video on Youtube with Youtotem installed:

"YouTotem: Unable to find video source".

Do you have any advice? Do you know how to solve this problem?

#4

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]what'll happen in those videos for which mp4 is not available?[/COLOR]

#5

IMO i think it would be much simpler to download the videos with something like Download Helper then watch with your preferred player.

BTW: Stuff like Bleach is easily available via torrent from Dattebayo fansubs, so you might start avoiding youtube when you can :)

#6

If you have no problem with the flash tools I would recommend the YousableTubeFix greasemonkey script.

  • automatically selects best quality (mpeg4 or flv)
  • prevents autoplay
  • download video button (flv and mpeg4 as well)
  • select which parts of youtube are shown

Sorry guys i feel so damm stupid i left out Videolan which you will need as the greecemonkey script mainly wants to use vlc to stream. and not totem first.

you will need to install Videolan player and its web plugin

follow this page

http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch07.html

of you can just type sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc

reboot your brower and turn on the monkey script, go youtube should be working fine :P

hi all!

i installed it the greasemonkey and the script, but doesn't work it on the youtube. script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25481 included page: http://*youtube.*/*

error message: YouTotem: Unable to find video source

firefox version: 3.5.5 ubuntu dist: 9.10 kernel: Linux whaskes-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux totem version: 2.28.2 vlc version: 1.0.2 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

totem and totem-mozilla it is installed, vlc, vlc-mozilla-plugin it is installed.

i tested this page and every ok, played all file. http://vlc.revolunet.com/git/example.html

+ youtube: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

any idea?

I have the same problem as whaskes. Though I have jaunty.

#10

Totem seems to have a problem though...

See; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/496616/+activity

I have the same problem on my Karmic 9.10 install. At random points in playing video, I get the same error message, "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated". I can drag the play position slider back to just before the place the event happened, and it plays fine. There is also a problem I notice when playing audio, if I move the position slider during playback, the visualization going on in the player stops. The music seems to play OK though. I can live better with that problem then the first one though.

I have Totem Movie Player 2.28.2, using GStreamer 0.10.25, as installed with 9.10.

Anyone else notice this?
