I've used Minitube for several years with mixed results, i.e. sometimes it works and some versions it doesn't. I think part of the problem is that YouTube makes it's money from ads and with Minitube you don't see any ads. But, look for updates and you may be pleasantly surprised. <div class="gmail_quote">On May 24, 2012 2:35 PM, "Bill Vance" <<a href="mailto:kbun@xpresso.seaslug.org">kbun@xpresso.seaslug.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Howdy folks; I got, "Minitube", a few hours ago, and since then I've been giving mkdir some exercize, while trying to figure it out. It's supposed to be a way of watching youtube videos without a lot of the overhead, or using flash to do it. When it comes up, it shows some video thumbnails down the left side of the screen, and they jump around a little, but thats about all that happensm except for the error mesage: Phonon error: "The file or folder <a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">www.youtube.com</a> does not exist." 1 Anyone got a clue?
