Minitube is a complete fail in Ubuntu 12.04

[SuperEngineer]

Minitube in Ubuntu 12.04 does not work for Youtube video ... it *may* download a full video or not - I do not know - it only displays the title [even though, when tracked, the download occirred. It is not playing videos on selction or videos if fully downlooaded. Ity dowa - sometimes - play an audio clip. It appears to be closer in action to when it failed it previous versions - as if a fix never happened.

Something happened in this morning's updates that appears to have fixed this!
I do not remember any of the updates directly being for/to Minitube but it now appears to be ok.
May have been a bug in a related package which is now fixed.

If no further comments added [e.g. nobody else is still affected]....
Please feel free to mark as fixed or I can do so myself if so required or no more problems encountered.

Thanks.

I just installed minitube for the first time. 12.04 is all up to date. All codecs installed. I can hear audio, but no video is seen

I did what these guys asked me to do in this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/56332/minitube-not-playing-nor-downloading-is-it-an-ubuntu-specific-issue
Still I see the same issue as people have described above

I have reactivated the status to "confirmred":
- Minitube is now playing snippets only again.
- Other people are obviously being affected by thre same problem.
