Mplayer & Youtube Videos ydl6.2 (fixed)

[Legendary_Agent]

Ok so ive used search and found nothing about this so i went ahead and posted this myself, hope its okay.
Please note: playing low quality is the only 100% functional mode, anything above that and you will get slow downs and vertical green or black lines.
The Best thing about this sytem is that it can co-exist with gnash plugin, so you can either play videos with gnash or this.

Before following this tutorial please use GNOME, in some other sessions you may get video corruption with green borders all over it.
Also please deactivate ydl 6.2 extras
install fedora extras
livna stable
dribble
repositories.
To do this follow this tutorial

Here is how to play Youtube videos on your ps3 ydl6.2

First you will need to start the terminal console and login as root

Code: Select all

su

afer that enter your root password, once youre logged in you will have to install swfdec packages

Code: Select all

yum install swfdec swfdec-mozilla

now install the player

Code: Select all

yum install mplayer mplayerplug-in

Once the instalation is complete go ahead and install gstreamer packages

Code: Select all

yum install gstreamer

Now that you are done you will need some ffmpeg decoders, you can download them here:

You will now need this Addon for your firefox browser, download it here by opening the link and clicking the green install button on top right corner.
http://tinyurl.com/ynvmda

Restart your firefox browser if opened and download & activate this script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/50771

Now you are done, you get to play videos at an acceptable speed!
Please note! if videos dont start straight away just below the video there is a text, saying download and play without flash
Choose play without flash low quality if you want better speed and right click on the video and choose fullscreen
now you can exit fullscreen and the videos play in windowed mode aswell.

Hope it helped everyone else having my dilema, it rly killed me to find this xD
PS: this is the first day ive posted something on this forum, if this thread is a duplicate i am sorry, i trully used the search button and found nothing.


If anyone knows a way to fix the green vertical lines please share the fix with us so i can update my thread aswell.

Hi i have used your following guide and it works great for me only problem is ican't install the ffmpeg decoders as it conflicts with the CELL SDK ones. Even with this i can still watch some videos. I ma now able to watch videos from divxden but only problem is i can't pause or stop playback.

Is the reason for this because i can't get the correct decoders or is it something else.

here is a link to a video from divxden for those who have done this guide and tell me if you get the same outcome http://www.divxden.com/p1fpxcmfcess/24.s08e02.hdtv.xvid-2hd.avi.html

Hey, are you trying on 6.2? have you got all repo files acordingly? you are going to need to disable yellowdog extra repos, put in only fedora, livna stable and dribble, do not include bodega, it worked like a charm with me.
As for Cell SDK, i can say that i do not have it installed on my ps3, whats the benefit?

Hi Legendary_Agent,

The problem isn't in MutliThug12's repos. The Cell SDK is a special library from IBM that lets you develop programs for the Cell processor in the PS3. Apparently, it contains some libraries that conflict with the ffmpeg decoders. Fixing the repos won't solve this issue - only manual library comparison & conflict resolution will.

MultiThug12 - are the Cell SDK libraries in question newer or older?

Cheers,
Paul

Yes im trying on 6.2 i have disabled yellowdog extra repos and bodega. Then tied the update of the ffmpeg and got this;

[('file /usr/lib/libpostproc.so.51.1.0 from install of ffmpeg-libs-0.4.9-0.37.20070503.lvn6 conflicts with file from package ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.rf', (7, '/usr/lib/libpostproc.so.51.1.0', 0L))]

I got em directly from IBM's website so im not to sure.

They appear to be the same - ffmpeg 0.4.9 release. The issues you're seeing may just be lack of function in mplayer.

Just had another look and mplayer is not installed and gstreamer is not installed. So im going to remove IBM SDK and see if that changes anything.

EDIT: SDK has been removed, mplayer installed as well as gstreamer but any site i go to watch a video it plays fine but still with no control eg. play, pause, stop. Anyone have any ideas...

[Legendary_Agent]

the only way i can contro lthe video is by right clicking it with my mouse, it appears a menu saying play, pause, stop, fullscreen
is that what youre looking for? cause it works fine with me tbh, and can u play any video off youtube website? i cant seem to understand how the script works, ive added gametrailers website and it doesnt play any vid of theirs...

Ive tried right clicking and nothing comes up, to get the video full screen i have to double click on the video. To watch videos on youtube i have to click on watch video with out flash else the video never loads. ive removed gnash and still get nothing. Im at a dead end here.

Hi all ive found out why i can't pause video playback. I have VLC media player installed with the plugin, I removed the vlc plugin but then the videos never loaded but i had a menu to play pause etc. If i have the plugin on videos play but i can't pause. So what am i doing wrong that this is not working.

Hello
I have both the vlctube and youtube no flash userscripts I think the youtube no flash script is better for the different options but the lack of controls is an issue so I still use the vlctube script http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25318, some people on here have been having trouble with it but it works fine for me, there is a slight delay in the pause and play etc but they're all functional.

There is a possible reason for youtube userscript problems in that youtube now has many optional versions for some (not all) vids i.e mp4, flvlow, flvhigh, swf etc and some of the scripts automatically try the highest quality first.
youtube no flash has a preference box, try the different options to see what works for you, also it conflicts with vlctube so only have one youtube script at a time enabled.

For gametralers.com I use http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/60365 you might need the mplayerplug-in and be a logged in registered gametrailers user, go for the sd vids as the hd ones are unwatchable

thanks for that it worked to get the videos playing but there was no sound. I fixed it with this code can't remember where i got it from.

Code: Select all

su
rpm -e vlc mozilla-vlc vlc-core --nodeps

Then had to install mozilla vlc plugin and everything works

Thanks all

P.S if things are working for you don't do the above as there are a few bugs, for me firefox crashes now and then on youtube. Here is the post i got the above code from http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4875&hilit=no+sound+youtube&start=105

Just to note: What this command does is uninstall vlc, the mozilla vlc plugin and other core vlc libraries.

Hi, I've followed all the directions in this post, but I'm unable to get mplayer to play the videos in youtube. The plugin loads in the video window, and says it's buffering, then that its playing a link, but that's it. I feel i'm really close, but I don't know what else to do.
