Don't know how useful this will be to the ps3 with it non hardware excelerated graphics but who knows

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/ligh ... rt-to.html

That does sound promising.

Of more interest to me is the MiniTube application they mention. Has anyone tried building this?

http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube

I'll probably give it a go later tonight.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul

I built Minitube and I must say I am very pleased with it - it's a pleasant way to view youtube. I previously used "YouTube Without Flash Auto" but recently updated Firefox to Minefield 4 beta 2 and both Greasemonkey and Download Helper are incompatible so it's nice to be back using the 'tube again

All the best

I'm going to have to check that out, too! Please post anything special required if you get to it before I do.

Got it built OK ... it requires >= qt4 4.5 and YDL only provides up to 4.2. I have qt4 4.5.2 on the ps3bodega repo so I used that. My RPM isn't quite right so instead of just entering qmake you have to specify the path to it like so:

/usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake

Then just run make and make install normally.

It installs a new menu item under Applications -> Sound & Video.

It loads fine and video thumbnails show up, but I'm still missing something -- getting this error on the console:

Phonon error: "A required codec is missing. You need to install the following codec(s) to play this content: MPEG-4 AAC"

Not sure if that's a problem / something left out of my qt4 build or just something I need to install separately at this point ...

EDIT: oh, missing gstreamer-plugins* ... now I get this error trying to play videos (I searched for "fail" ):

Code: Select all

Not sure what is causing your error - my install of gstreamer-plugins-good is 10.4.4 from YDL base repo ..... I'll do an install on a second machine and see what happens.

What about your Qt4 install? Built from source, rpm from ps3bodega, or does it actually work with YDL's earlier build? Doesn't seem to the be issue anyway, though...

I'm building an updated gstreamer-plugins-good right now to see if that helps. Thanks for posting your output.

Well... not sure it's the gstreamer-plugins-good package now -- the one that YDL provides doesn't have a qtdemux ... what about your gstreamer-plugins-bad?

I'm using the qt4 rpms from PS3Bodega with YDL 6.2.

I tried building minitube on my PS3 with and came up with the same error that you did - I'm mystifed ...

It was a long shot but building before or after gstreamer-plugins* were installed doesn't make any difference

I'll check for differences in gstreamer-plugins* between the two installs and report back later.

Okay - have it - it's gstreamer-ffmpeg rpm that is required. My PS3 is now up and running as well

Excellent! Thanks so much for your help.

So it requires:

gstreamer-plugins-bad
gstreamer-ffmpeg

Now to build an RPM package for it and add to ps3bodega ...

Wow -- this is great! Best solution for youtube video playback I've seen on PS3 Linux yet. I'm running at 1920x1200 and using scalergui + fscaler to zoom in, though it does resize the video if you maximize the window.

EDIT: occasionally it freezes up and I have to close and restart ... no additional errors are generated on the console when this happens

OK ... RPM package is ready for testing ...

Note: you'll need to be using the ps3bodega repo for YDL 6.2 to install -- the default & other third party (Livna, Fedora-Extras) repos don't provide Qt4 4.5+ which is required by minitube.

RPM for installation:

Source RPM: (not needed for installation)

Excellent work, folks!!
