Minitube 3.5 and Musictube 1.13
I had to rush this release because Google restricted the Youtube API only to manually approved projects. And their terms forbid any other viewer apart from their own.
So I ported Minitube to use the Invidious API. Linux users will not need a Google API key anymore. So I guess this is an enhancement for them. Donations are welcome (hint hint).
Musictube 1.13 is out too, with the same change.
Have a great summer!
Thank You Flavio for the quick update ( i thought linux users can’t use Minitube anymore without Google API key ) and the new 3.5 works again!
-Hi XaRal,
can you please build a installable Minitube.eopkg for Solus again – as last time- and upload it somewhere?
Thank you for sharing it with Solus OS users! :)
Hello happy people and Rokko,
Here you can download a Solus package https://filebin.net/x8wetsy7cswqjlz8 with version 3.5 of Minitube. Grazie Flavio, questo funziona ancora meglio.
Great job!
Hi XaRaI,
you are unbelievable fast! Thank you, it works well on my Solus Machine.
Hi Flavio,
i have noticed a little bug – i think causes by the Invidious API key (maybe) –
Some of the subscribed channels are not sorted by Date.
For example this one:

Hi XaRaI,
unfortunetely i can not install the update of the 3 suggested Files on Solus.
Can you please write a Tutorial or create and upload it again?
Thank for you both
Hi Rokko, and Happy People ,
What do you mean with “unfortunetely i can not install the update of the 3 suggested Files on Solus.” ?
What exactly is the problem?
Hope, i can help you, but i’m just a amateur fan of Minitube and Solus linux.
My main operating system is Windows 10.
Greetings, XaRaI.
When you start Minitube, there is a Message in the middle with light yello Background:
“An update is ready to be installed. Quit and install update.”
If you click on it, Minitube closed and the file manager open automatically 3 Files:
1. control.tar.xz
2. data.tar.xz
3. debain-binary
From here, i dont know where to pack / install it – this is for Ubuntu- so maybe its not possible and the only solution would be tot compile it for Solus etc.
Thank you !
Hello Happy people and Rokko,
Flavio probably forgot to mention that a new version 3.5.1 has been released. It is in the .deb format and not suitable for Solus. To use it in Solus it needs to be packaged in a different format (.eopkg). I have prepared version 3.5.1 at this location https://filebin.net/uu765l6cfv7drq0p
Good luck and stay safe.
Hi XaRaI,
i think the 3.5.1 is just a bugfix Version of the 3.5 Version and it have a message function integrated, so we can see if a new Version ha been released.
Thank you XaRaI for compiling it again, it works well :)
Subscribed channels can still not loading because this works only with the Google API i think!
Best Greetings to you all
