Minitube 0.9 is out today
I just released Minitube 0.9 with some minor enhancements and bug fixes. It is not a mind-blowing release, but still adds what I consider the most important feature: polish. I somewhat rushed the release in the hope that Christian, an Ubuntu packager, manages to get Minitube into Lucid Lynx. So everybody cross your fingers!
Do you guys mind if I speak italian? ;)
Innanzitutto complimenti per questo prodottino!
Al momento non ho il modo di verificare, ma ero curioso di sapere se questa versione utilizza libpng 1.4.
Uso Archlinux, la penultima volta che l’ho usato (0.8.1) andava correttamente, poi probabilmente, aggiornando la suddetta lib, non si è più avviato cercando libpng12.so.0. Grazie del tempo che sprecherai per rispondermi.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for a really nifty little program. It’s really a lot more practical than browsing around on the site directly.
The only thing that bugs me is that minitube still can’t handle a long video, like Linus talk at google on git. I have understood that you primarily test with gstreamer, but would you please consider trying using xine as well? Many of us KDE users use that as backend since a lot of other applications really work better that way than with gstreamer. As it is now, that particular video for instance, starts playing for a few seconds, and then skips to the next video in the list. Shorter videos works just fine. This is using minitube-0.9-3.1 and xine-1.1.17 on openSUSE, but it’s not specific to these versions.
Anyway, please keep up the good work, and thanks again for a really cool little app.
hey, still love minitube…however, i’ve noticed one ‘feature’ that was added in 0.9 that i could do without. i’m running mandriva linux 2010 and i have two displays set up as seperate X displays. I’ve noticed in the new version that if I have full-screen mode set in minitube, and move my mouse away to the other display, it goes out of fullscreen mode. This is not what I want, and did not happen in older versions….if anything, this should be an option one can enable or disable.
glad i had some older source-code archived, so i use the older version still.
overall still an awesome piece of software. were i better off financially i’d be making some hefty donations :)
Viewer101, I agree with you.
The GStreamer backend is very buggy; instead, the Xine backend works perfectly on KDE4.
I can also confirm the problem with long videos; after a few seconds, MiniTube skips to the next video in the list (but this problem has nothing to do with the backend).
I’ve got a solution for my previous problem.
If you use a different libpng (I’ve got libpng 1.4), just create a symbolic link in /usr/lib:
ln -s libpng14.so.14.0.0 libpng12.so.0
It worked for me, but this doesn’t mean it will work for you too.
minitube is in Ubuntu’s development version now. A Karmic backport is in my ppa:

The Karmic package needs testing, because I do not have this version here anymore. Thanks.
