![]() Just select that you prefer HTML5 in the extension preferences and it will check if any video has a HTML5 version and then redirect. HTML5 is the future, but still uses more CPU than playing with mplayer plugin or external players.īTW, with FlashVideoReplacer you don't need to join the html5 trial program. ![]() The HTML5 player doesn't have all of the features of the Flash player yet, but it's very nice one perk is that the "full screen" button has been replaced with an "expand" button so that the video simply fills the window, precisely as it does in Minitube, so that it actually looks like a decent little video player app. I, too, was very disappointed with Minitube, and this is a much better alternative. Which for Unity or DockBarX makes YouTube its own little app. I'm using Chrome with my YouTube account on the HTML5 trial and this launcher, Minitube is really smooth though especially if you have an older machine, since it doesn't require Firefox at all and FF can use quite a bit of cpu during streaming. ![]() The FVR gives you the same (actually better) experience as watching Youtube "normally" so you would be able to choose from the list, read comments etc. ()īTW, I like both LovingLinux's flashvideoreplacer and minitube. You can get the up to date version from the webupd8 ppa. I can't believe that they still put 1.3 in the repo of a new Ubuntu release. Version 1.3 suffered the problem you described, but it has been fixed in release 1.4 back in, oh Feb(?) and 1.4X has been available for Maverick through at least 3 PPAs since then. Which version of Minitube do you use? The one in Natty's repo is 1.3, it is so old and broken that it is not funny. anyone have similar problems or know of some good alternatives? - or is Flash and the browser still the only realistic viewer? Minitube manages to only play, on average, 5 to 12 seconds of a video whereupon it skips straight to the next video. ![]() So I tried Minitube based on a "praise it to the hilt" article in one of the Linux magazines. ![]()
