"Ubuntu 10.04 users can install Minitube 0.9 from the Ubuntu Software Center. The package dependencies are incomplete, so don’t forget to sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-gstreamer gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad. Packages for 1.0 will hopefully come."
I tried it and it worked for me.
Hope it helped.

It did. Thanks!

patch for fix that problem

Patch updated for maverick

[Christian Mangold (neversfelde)]

It is no solution to make it depend on the gstreamer backend, because that would pull in a lot of unwanted stuff for KDE users. I tested minitube several times now and it installs the phonon backend, if there is no backend available and it does not, if gstreamer backend is there. I will have a second look, but currently I do not know any solution for this. Please do not upload a version which depends on gstreamer.

[Christian Mangold (neversfelde)]

Forgot a xine in my last post. So phonon-backend-xine should be installed. Just realized that something went wrong with the lucid package. I'll fix it the next days.

[Flavio Tordini (zarlino)]

As I see it we have two distinct problems:

1. Which Phonon backend to depend on

Ideally, GStreamer for Ubuntu and Xine for Kubuntu. My personal experience is that the GStreamer backend works much better with YouTube videos. So if a hard choice has to be made, I'd go for GStreamer. Also a reality check tells us that Ubuntu users are much more and Minitube is not a KDE application so choosing GStreamer is the "lesser evil".

2. Make sure the required codecs are also installed
