Description PC LX 2018-01-19 12:40:00 CET
Description of problem:

smtube stopped working and shows error dialog with "No video found" and "It wasn't possible to find the URL for this video"

This issue is probably due to changes in youtube.

I have downloaded from upstream the most recent version of smtube (18.1.0), compiled it and it works correctly.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ uname -a
Linux marte 4.14.13-desktop-1.mga6 #1 SMP Wed Jan 10 12:48:53 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ rpm -q smtube
smtube-17.5.0-1.mga6



How reproducible:

Always.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run smtube.
2. Search for something (e.g. trailer)
3. Click a video to play it.
4. Instead of a video player starting, an error dialog with "No video found" and "It wasn't possible to find the URL for this video" is shown.

Assigning to QA now,

Tried this also on Mageia 6, x86_64.
As PC_LX states, it works.  There may be a new bug though;
Running the smtube interface here brings up a dialogue giving the user the opportunity to accept that "this site uses cookies".  Ignore that and all is well, but click on the OK and the application segfaults.  As there is a workaround I am not going to raise a bug against it.

I'm not seeing that dialog.

It may be a good idea to run smtube through gdb, get a backtrace and file a report with the smtube people.

Trying M6/64 again

BEFORE update:
 smplayer-17.5.0-1.mga6
 smtube-17.5.0-1.mga6
smplayer is a neat stand-alone video player. It worked with a DVD.
smtube is a Youtube front end to that. Launched it from menu. It did what Len found: click the Cookies 'Accept' button, & it crashes. [Warrants a bug - even if it is so easily avoidable - because most users would do that. Wait until somebody complains?] Selecting any of the proposed videos launched smplayer which showed at the bottom the "cannot find URL" error.

AFTER update to version 18.1.0-1.mga6.x86_64
Tried smplayer directly with a DVD, OK.
Launched smtube from the former"s View menu. It retains its crash if you click cookie accept - but that is not a reversion, so we pass it. Otherwise clicking a an offered video played it OK in smplayer. Confirm update OK. 

Advisoried & validated.
