Howto watch YouTube with only free software in Debian
Re: Howto watch YouTube with only free software in Debian
minitube 1.5 arrived in sid, 2011-08-15, and works (at least here).
"I am not fine with it, so there is nothing for me to do but stand aside." M.D.
Re: Howto watch YouTube with only free software in Debian
The latest version 1.8 of Minitube is available but instructions are the same as above for version 1.6 and previous for Squeeze thus:
Prerequisites:

su to root:
Optional: When it asks for a description for the package:" type Native YouTube Client and press enter twice.
Prerequisites:
Code: Select all
# aptitude install build-essential qt4-dev-tools libphonon-dev libqtgui4 libqt4-xml libqt4-network libqt4-dbus phonon-backend-gstreamer gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad checkinstall
Code: Select all
cd ~/ && mkdir tmp && cd tmp/

The version presently available in sid 1.7-1.1 (at the time of posting this) lags behind but, if anyone wishes to try it, the package can be backported to squeeze using the method given here.

Re: Howto watch YouTube with only free software in Debian
youtube-viewer works well and has a nice license from a free-software pov.

There is also gtk-youtube-viewer I find it lighter than minitube and it offers more options

Downside is no Debian package so you need to build it
