Minitube 3.0
Hi all, it’s been a while. With this new release I ported away Minitube from Phonon, a multimedia API that originated long time ago in the KDE project. I evaluated both QtAV and MPV, wrote my own media abstraction around them and finally chose to ship with libmpv. It’s a great open-source project and very active. Kudos to them.
As a direct consequence to using a new multimedia backend, Minitube now supports all YouTube video resolutions up to 4K.
In Mac land, I added support for the new Dark Mode that was introduced in macOS Mojave. Switching on fly is also supported.
Minitube 3.0 ships with the brand new Qt 5.12.2 which brings many improvements and fixes some UI bugs.
Enjoy your trusty and up-to-date Minitube!
On Ubuntu 18.04, it says the following:
minitube: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.11′ not found (required by minitube)
and doesn’t start at all
Yes, Ubuntu 18.10 is required because of libmpv >= 0.29.0
hello where can i download and how can i install libmpv >=0.29.0 please
libmpv => 0.29.0 (0.29.1~bionic2) that is delivered by via ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/bionic-media

Great Work !!
Could you please make 2.9 version available again, since 3.0 version does not work.
I agree- I have the same problem. Would like to download 2.9.

Thank you very much.
Is there any chance (workaround) to install it on Ubuntu 18.04? If not, it might be a good idea to specify in the release note above, that Ubuntu 18.10 is the minimum requirement for it to run.
Libmpv >= 0.29.0 is required so it won’t run on 18.04 out of the box. I added the requirement in the project page.
I’m just curious. Could minitube as a snap package solve the libmpv dependency issue on Ubuntu 18.04?
Problem after install:
minitube: symbol lookup error: minitube: undefined symbol: mpv_render_context_create

Since 3 Weeks is it not possible to see the youtube Videos sorted by Date even with setting to sort by Date. That was with the previews Version 2.9 and the newer Version 3.0 too on Ubuntu 18.10!
Can you please fix it? Because then its useless to search an watch Videos with Minitube that way.
Thx
This is a YouTube API bug. I can do nothing about it. Let’s hope they will fix it soon. https://github.com/flaviotordini/minitube/issues/126
FWIW the youtube API issue should be fixed now (for a couple days, now, actually).
Hello, app updated from mac app store and now it won’t open.
“Minitube cannot be opened because of a problem
Check with the developer to make sure Minitube works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X”
Tried reinstalling and restarting to no avail.

please don’t forget to update the flathup package.
best regards
Is there a way I can increase the playback speed ?
Can you share the .exe file for the previous version for Windows. E.g. 2.9 or 2.8.
Linux 32bits version? TNX!
Ciao, Flavio.
Do you know Newpipe? It’s a nice app for Android that permits more or less the same than Minitube does but has a couple of nice features Minitube lacks and maybe you could consider for proximate versions.
Some of them:
– Importations/exportations so you can have your favorite channels and videos in you mobile and your Google account: https://newpipe.schabi.org/#subscriptions
– Bookmarks and history: https://newpipe.schabi.org/#bookmarks
– Download videos or audio from the videos: https://newpipe.schabi.org/#downloads
Maybe this could be easily factible integrating Youtube-dl: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/ ?
And the most important to me: **100% privacy friendly** (as much as anything related to Google and Internet can respect privacy, clearly) since it doesn’t require any tracking “key” nor use Google APIs: https://newpipe.schabi.org/#privacy
I hope you can get some nice ideas to make Minitube even better. :)
Saluti.

Sorry, i’ve not understand… it’s possible to order the videos for date, but from the oldest to the newest? This feature is fantastic for to see all the videos of a channel from the first to the last, it’s strange which is missing… because this app is really perfect! Thank you so much!
Good software, but needs a function for to open a YT video by pasting link. And an addon for Firefox/Chrome: “Open this video with Minitube”. Without is incomplete. Thanks.
Yes , finally i have Minitube 3.0 running on Solus OS 4.0. Video and sound works great! Thanks Flavio :-)
