Startpage appears to be fully functional without JavaScript. Cool!
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
If you are new to GNU/Linux it is easy to be confused about the difference between the operating system and the desktop environment, because Window$ and macOS don't offer multiple desktop environments. You can think of the DE as the graphical interface over the underlying OS. LXDE (the default DE in Trisquel Mini) and Gnome Classic (the default in Trisquel) are both included in the Trisquel repository, along with XFCE, KDE Plasma, Gnome 3, Enlightenment, and many others. You can install and use whichever one you want, regardless of which one is installed by default. If you want to try Trisquel's default DE, as some here have suggested, there is no need to install regular Trisquel. Within Trisquel Mini, you can install the DE with $ sudo apt install trisquel trisquel-recommended To try it out, log out, click on the little icon near your name, select the DE you want to use, and log in.

Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
I'm fairly sure I tried to spam all the F combos that exist in desperate attempt to achieve something at all, but I'll keep that in mind till next time. Allright, gonna be AFK this evening and possible tomorrow also, but I'll try to get to this SMART stuff in reasonable near future, cheers and thank you! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
What about Startpage, then? https://www.startpage.com/do/search?cat=video=process_search=english=trisquel=air=
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
The JavaScript version of DuckDuckGo is non-free, and the HTML version does not have video search feature. YouTube's JavaScript is also non-free.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
I see! :) cheers m8! I misunderstood your message, pardon.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Minitube no longer works unless it is compiled with a Google API key that you can only get with a Google account and would presumably identify you to Google every time you watch a video with your build. If you have a 64-bit machine with Debian or Trisquel you could try the binaries from the developer, which I guess if it works must use his own key. https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
What's the point going to Youtube? I dunno. You decide. I gave an option to watch it out of the browser and download, all on your own volition. I thought you had trouble watching vids.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Btw, on StartPage.com it says "enhanced by Google". What does that mean? Are they some sort of daughter company?
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
I see. How do I "open /var/log/syslog" in leafpad? :) I didn't quite understand what you meant by your text session tips. I tried alt+F2, but that didn't work. The screen was all semi-frozen, I could move the mouse, but it was moving slowly and laggy. And when I did the ctrl+alt+F1 I got just texts and texts and texts (I could've read the text perhaps and I might have found something, but I didn't do that unfortunately). I could exit back to the desktop, but it was all frozen again. ctrl+alt+F2 does the exact same thing as ctrl+altF1 though, doesn't it? Yeah, sure, maybe I'll try the memtests86+ tonight or tomorrow, that sounds like a good idea. I'm using a MacBook Pro 9.1, so I would not be surprised if many issues can be sourced to that. What is "self-testing" hard drives? :) what am I testing for?
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
For some strange reason I was not able to install regular Trisquel, but Trisquel Mini worked :/
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Nice!
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Yeah, I had no luck with minitube either :/
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
What's the point then if I have to go to youtube.com to get the url?

If you use StartPage.com , do a search by video and there is a copy link option on any video you click on. Paste that link in and your golden.

Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Search, right-click get URL (link location). Or Youtube video, copy link. Basically, just like you would find any other URL or website.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Cool! Both of those methods worked like a charm :) Only problem with this method is, how do I browse to know what url I want ? :P
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Go with the default Trisquel DE. Install mpv sudo apt install mpv Then launch mvp with URL (links to a Trisquel video on Youtube) mpv https://youtu.be/tIecaLF_-x4 Or install youtube-dl. sudo apt install youtube-dl And download most videos. youtube-dl https://youtu.be/tIecaLF_-x4
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Thank you anyway for all the help and guidance, much appreciated!:) I tried copying the url into the "open network stream" in vlc, and then I got this message again "insecure something" and I had two options again, either to "check verification" or something and "abort". And then only the audio of the video starting playing again, like had happened before. But then something new happened. The whole pc kinda froze, it didn't completely freeze. I could move the mouse, and I could enter ctrl+alt+F1, but when I got there it was just ouputting lines and lines and lines of text and I couldn't do any commands. So I forced my pc to shut down, and when I turned it back on I couldn't use Midori browser again. So I guess it's time to wipe hard disk and reinstall again :P a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, right? :P
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Sorry, I'm running out of ideas. I've had no problems with youtube-viewer in Trisquel 8 and never used it in Trisquel 7. For now, you could just use gtk-youtube-viewer for searching, right click on the video you want to play, select 'more details', copy the URL and paste it into vlc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
So I did that and tried to run youtube-viewer from terminal again, and it didn't work :/
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Okay, that means you already had Python 3 installed. Try switching to a different player with > set player name-of-the-player Repeat until one of them works or you've tried all of the players you have installed. I'm running out of ideas.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
oops
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Hm. Perhaps this package is not in the Trisquel 7 repo. I don't know if that's the problem because I don't know what the package does. Let's remove that one from the list of packages we are installing and see if we can install everything else. $ sudo apt install liblwp-protocol-https-perl libtext-charwidth-perl libterm-readkey-perl libencode-perl mpv vlc wget
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
I think you forgot to attach the screenshot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Did that and got this (see screenshot) than I tried again to search and play. And it opened in VLC after I gave it permission, but it was only audio :/
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Gotcha! I typed that and got this (see screenshot)
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
To clarify, 'apt update' updates the repository to see if upgrades are available. 'apt upgrade' installs any available upgrades. In the comment you refer to, I suggested running both commands because you had already installed youtube-viewer and I wasn't sure if it was the latest version. Here, ran 'apt-update' before installing youtube-viewer, so it was already the latest version. Running 'apt upgrade' installs all upgrades for programs you have installed, not just youtube-viewer, which is why you might get message related to other upgrades, like the grub config file. youtube-viewer has some recommended and suggested packages. It's generally not a good idea to install all of them because you might end with a bunch of crap you don't need, but it's possible that I have one installed that you don't and that is why it works for me and not you, so let's install the ones I have installed and see if that helps. $ sudo apt install liblwp-useragent-chicaching-perl liblwp-protocol-https-perl libtext-charwidth-perl libterm-readkey-perl libencode-perl mpv vlc wget
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Yes, I have done that. I also tried smplayer and that didn't work for streaming either. Actually, when I try to stream, some sort of error flashes past on the input line, but it's so quick I can't read it. Is there some way I can output that, or does it get logged somewhere?
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Oh yeah, I can see why this is getting confusing when I'm jumping from thread to thread like this. I was referring to your guidance in installing the youtube-viewer where you mention in this comment: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/custom-building-and-water-cooling-free-world#comment-125063 that I should: 1. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 2. $ sudo apt update 3. $ sudo apt install youtube-viewer 4. $ sudo apt upgrade I'm sorry about the jumping from thread to thread and hastily creating new posts.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
It's supposed to be a GUI thingy where you can search, browse, download and stream youtube videos according to mason. But I am struggling to get the streaming part going. But I was able to download a video and play it in VLC, so I got that goin' for me, which is nice :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
hehe, but I still have no idea what youtube-viewer is.. :P
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Your question about the grub config file was unrelated to youtube-viewer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
I see, thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
So I was asking for a recommendation in regards to get the youtube-viewer up and running :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
The message is saying that you have a manually modified grub configuration file. In the past you made a change, you added something probably. Now the new version of the package associated with such configuration file is asking you if you want it to overwrite the file you modified or keep it. To keep it - keep.. to overwrite it - install..
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
>sudo pip3 install mps-youtube giving sudo is absolutely not necessary. Recent versions of of pip without sudo will just rightly assume we want to do a local installation, which requires us giving no root privileges to nothing.. files will get written in .local. A .bashrc line to include such path will also be added automagically. If not, if you are on an older version, just use the option '--user' and add the path to .bashrc
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
So I dud all the steps over again and after the terminal had worked long and hard at the "sudo apt upgrade" command it showed this thing as attached screenshot, what does this actually mean and what do you recommend here?
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
It could be that you're using Python 2 and mps-youtube expects 3. Install Python 3 $ sudo apt install python3 and try again.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
awesome, it worked all the way till I was typing 1 and enter to play the first video. Screenshot of the last bit of the terminal output
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
awesome! :D

Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Okay, assuming you typed it correctly it might only be in the Trisquel 8 repo. You might have to install it via pip as suggested, but it really isn't too hard. $ sudo apt install python3-pip $ sudo pip3 install mps-youtube Then follow the instructions in my previous comment starting with$ mpsyt
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Can I ask how you get those nice yellow boxes for in your comments that you use to highlight terminal commands?
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Hmm, I got "E: Unable to loacte package" when I tried installing it through LXTerminal
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Did you already set mps-youtube's default player to mpv with> set player mpv? If so, try a different player. When I tried mpv I only got audio, no video. I then tried vlc which worked.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
If you still want to try to get youtube-viewer working, run it from a terminal$ gtk-youtube-viewerattempt to play a video, and copy/paste any errors you get here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
It is in the repo.$ sudo apt install mps-youtube It has a cli. Start it with$ mpsytset its video player to vlc with> set player vlcsearch for 'query' with> .queryand play the nth result with> n
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
Hm, I think I'll try to mainly stick to applications that are obtainable through repo or package manager for now :) thanks though!
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
I don't seem to be able to stream vids with mps-youtube and I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Downloading and playing videos separately with mpv works fine. When I try to stream, I get a bunch of Python errors. I've tried re-installing the Python packages that seem relevant, but it didn't help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] youtube-viewer won't play videos
An easy and efficient way to search, browse, download and view youtube vids is you use mps-youtube. https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube
