Re: [Freevo-users] Youtube Plugin
Hello,
I updated youtube-dl to version: 2011.08.04
But the plugin still doesn't work.
My config lines:
plugin.activate('video.youtube')
YOUTUBE_DIR = /home/freevo/.freevo/tmp/
YOUTUBE_DL = /usr/bin/youtube-dl
YOUTUBE_FORMAT = '34'
YOUTUBE_VIDEOS = [ (tmp, tmp), ]
Any error?
My freevo version: freevo-1.9.0
Bye

Download new version of youtube-dl. As of 4.08 there is a new version that
fixes connection problems.

Re: [Freevo-users] Youtube Plugin
Are you using the new youtube plugin from git? Does youtube-dl work
when you paste a url at command line? (Assume you've already looked at
youtube -v)

Re: [Freevo-users] Any one using hulu on freevo?
You did what instead of figuring out lirc? That seems harder than using lirc. Sure, I'll update the page after I play with it for a week. I installed unclutter and changed my script as such to fix the mouse showing up at inopportune times: /usr/bin/xrandr -s 640x480 /usr/bin/unclutter -visible -root -idle 1 -jitter 3 /usr/bin/huludesktop killall unclutter /usr/bin/xrandr -s 800x600 Strange that you had to mess with xset.
