Thank you Norgo.

@ norgo:-

A request, dear boy.....if I may?

What would be the possibility of a statically-compiled 20.6.0 for the newer 64-bit 'Buntu-based puppies....like Xenialpup64/Bionicpup64..?

SMPlayer is available in their repos, but it's a late 18- or early 19-series. Wouldn't mind summat a bit more up-to-date, y'know? (I know, I know; I do make impossible requests, don't I?)


Mike.

[norgo]

@mikewalsh

uploaded the statically version of smplayer ( built in Slacko64 700RC3 ) right now
Don't know whether it's working in Bionic or Xenial too because of dependencies
try it out

update
statically version of smplayer ( bionic64 8.0 ) uploaded
[mention]mikewalsh[/mention]
actually quite useless because bionic has qt5 buil-in
is there a special reason ?

How to play youtube videos using smplayer.

Needed
1. smplayer
2. mpv ( mplayer is not recommended ! )
3. activation for adaptive streams (see pic 001.png)
4. python-2 installation (youtube-dl installation is not necessary, smplayer is downloading the up-to-date version)

How to use

1. open youtube website in your internet browser
2. do a right-click at the desired video (preview picture) and select "copy link location"
3. click at the globe icon in the smplayer main window
4. now smplayer takes the url from clipboard and show these url in an info window (see pic 002.png)
5. click okay
6. as next step smplayer is looking for youtube-dl (if not present, you will be asked for download, outdated versions will be updated)

thats all
You can play Videos in high resolution (if available at the server up to 4k)

(there is no mpv config file to hack and no video file to download before playing)

it's working out of the box

enable adaptive streams

@norgo :-

A query, if I may? I know you build these 'static' versions of SMPlayer (for which I've been very grateful, for years). Have you ever produced a 'static' version of SMTube? Is it possible?

I'll tell you why I ask. I'm attempting one of those "Rokytnji"-type things, just for a laugh; I'm trying to get as complete & comprehensive an install of Slacko 560 as I can, onto a 2 GB SD card..! So the fewer things I need to install, the better....

Mike.

[norgo]

Hello @mikewalsh
your presumption is correct. SMtube needs qt-webkit and this is not possible to compile statically.
If you need advice for your slacko 560 project regarding qt stuff let me know.
Makes me curiously

[Clarity]

I would like the versions for Slacko64-V8 using shared qt5, whenever you can. As you know Slackware is moving toward a 'total' python3 vs old v2.x.

Thanks in advance, no rush

G'day Norgo, I Really Need sum Help installing smtube-20.6.0-i686.pet on x32-bit Quickpup 21.04

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=1743&hilit=Quickpup

Running on an Old 2014 Acer C720 KromeBook ( 1.4 GHz Dual Core intel Celeron w/ a modest 2GB RAMemory ) of which I've got another Bakers Dozen of, Also Probably @ least 20 x 2011 Atom NetBooks I'm Determined 2 Rescue from Our Landfill. Naturally Mistfires x32-bit Quickpup 21.04 the ideal Puppy OS 4 such Legacy Hardware. However people these daze eXpect 2 be Able 2 View the *’UTube w/ their PC. So I Reckon your SMTube i686 pet should Fit the Criteria. eXcept that I've been having a Very Frustrating & Time Consuming Challenge Chasing Libs & Missing Dependencies! I’m just about Burnt Out!
The Latest Chapter of the Challenge Evidently iz related 2 incorrect installation of youtube-dl or perhaps wRong Version? SMTube Does Load But when I Clic’ on a Video I Receive...

SMTube failed to communicate with youtube-dl. Either it's not installed or it doesn't work correctly.
In order to play YouTube videos, SMTube needs an external application called youtube-dl.
SMTube can download and install this application for you. It will be downloaded from the official website and installed in /root/bin.

Would you like to proceeed?

I Clic’ Yes, But the Result iz a Window saying...
An error happened while downloading the file:
Error creating SSL context (error:140A90C4:SSL routines:func(169):reason(196))

which I don’t understand, of course I’ve already Searched & ReSearched Our Forum & the iNet, But Nuthing makes any scence.
Also Previously I Did Try the QT5 Version of SMTube, But have been Advized by Other Puppy Developers & Forum Members that it’ll Bring Big Problems, I can’t aRgue w/ their eXperience & Advice after all of the Chasing Libs & Missing Dependencies I’ve since eNdured! However I still wunder if there iz a Good Valid Reason 2 Persist w/ Qt5 & I was just doing sumthing wRong?!?

Edit. after Yet another Clean install I'm Missing libqtwebkit & openldap Dependencies & from Utilities Dynamic Dependencies these...
libpng15.so.15 => not found

G'day Norgo, Where can We get the Latest youtube-dl File from? Please, & How 2 insert it?

Also because I've had 2 Change the Base of Puppy that I Use 2 Busterpup 8.0 Unfortunately I'm Needing Different deb Dependencies, But I don't know which Yet.
Also Please Describe How 2 Configure SMTube 2 Use VLC az the Default Video Player rather than SMplayer.

Please & Thanx

;-)K

[norgo]

@+Me
For playback I'm using the combination SMplayer + MPV

SMplayer is checking youtube-dl version and perform an update automatically if a new version of YT-dl is available.
This needs approx. half a secund incl. update of course.
SMplayer placed youtube-dl under $HOME/bin.

To solve dependencies is a little bit tricky. You will need a matching combination of qt, gstreamer, icu4c.

Installable YT-dl packages will be installed under /usr/bin usually.

I don't use VLC, sorry I can't give configuration recommendations at the moment.
Most probably @OscarTalks can help along.

I myself am looking for a way to view youtube videos without the use of a browser although i am not certain this is the solution.
Are there any other ways to view youtube because this seems like more hassle than it's worth.

If i understand this smtube correctly urls need to be copied from the youtube site to then use with the player which seems rather counter-productive in terms of usability.

[norgo]

@xenial
how to play youtube videos using smplayer look here
meanwhile you will need python3 because of usage of yt-dl

SMtube is an application ( similar an internet browser )
With SMtube you cam browse youtube site for videos.
A click at the desired video will open and play the video with the player you defined for playing in SMtube preferences.
This works really good but SMtube has a lot of dependencies if you want to install it.

[xenial]

@norgo
Thank you kindly norgo for that info.I usually play videos in seamonkey browser but just trying to cull the resources a bit.
I shall certainly have a look at smplayer.

Update for Slacko 7.0 32 bit

the conditions for playing multimedia streams in Slacko 7.0 are not the best
because ffmpeg 2.8.11 is totally outdated,
Mplayer 1.3 is not usable for multimedia streams
and doesn't support hardware decoding.

To be able to use SMplayer, SMtube ( incl. youtube streaming and hardware-decoding )
I compiled following components under Slacko 7.0

ffmpeg-4.3-slk7-i686.pet
libdrm-2.4.109-slk7-i686.pet
libva-2.4.1-slk7-i686.pet
libva-intel-driver-2.4.1-slk7-i686.pet
libva-utils-2.4.1-slk7-i686.pet

You're trying to install a smplayer package built on an older Puppy, so it requires much older libraries than those provided by Debian 11.

Instead, you should apt install smplayer, or install smplayer via Synaptic.

[norgo]

@+Me

please remove
all libQt5 packages ( version 5.6.1 )
libQt5Webkit (version 5.6.1)
smtube

check your mpv installation
there are missing dependencies too
Check if mpv is working

after that install
smtube ( attached pet compiled in Vanilla dpup 9.0.47 )
libqt5webkit5_5.212.0
needed qt5 libs ( version 5.15.2 ) should become installed automatically because qtwebkit depends on it
please note python3 is required of yt-dl

very important!
after successfully installation open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

SMtube 21.10.0 | Vanilla Dpup x86 - 9.2.9 ( for information only )

smtube depends on libgstreamer
libgstreamer depends on libcap2-bin
installation of libcap2-bin leeds to kernelpanic after reboot

installation of gstreamer without dependency to libcap2-bin let the system reboot without problems
smtube start in a terminal leeds to errormessage failed to open swrast
reason for this is the missing dependency to libatomic.so.1

synaptic shows the package libatomic as installed ( the filelist contains libatomic.so.1 ) but the lib is not there
After reinstallation of libatomic package the library is present and the error message is gone.

I like SmTube, and sometimes had to fiddle with one of yours build in order to get it to function under Bionicpup64.

Might be better off using fredx181's create-portable-AppImage, viewtopic.php?p=3328#p3328 to create an SMTube-AppImage for Vanilla Dpup. AppImages are only mounted --never become part of the OS even in RAM-- and can be built to be entirely self-contained.
I'm currently 'fleshing-out' the latest version (8a) of Voidpup64 after which I'll turn my attention back to VanillaDpup. But Voidpup64 may present the same problem.

[mikeslr]

My suggestion above may be more difficult than I thought. I have smtube 64-bit version 20.1.0 working as a portable under my Fossapup64 (and IIRC Vanilladpup64). I was going to see what libraries I added to Fossapup64 (and Vanilladpup64) to accomplish that. But I now see that you're at version 20.6.0 and I can't find a download link to 20.1.0

Will have to devote some time when I can to see if it can work with '6'; not just creating boot-able versions of 'virgin' Puppys and mostly using libraries I already have.

Well, maybe not. Just unpacked 6 and it booted up under Bionicpup64 --still my default OS-- without any problem.
