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.

smplayer and smtube packages now up-to-date for Cauldron and also for mga6!
That was FAST! Thanks David! Installed and tested without issues. Tested by playing a bunch of youtube and local videos. System: Mageia 6, Plasma DE, x86_64, Intel CPU, nVidia GPU using nvidia340 proprietary driver. $ 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 smplayer smtube-18.1.0-1.mga6 smplayer-18.1.0-1.mga6
Whiteboard: (none) => MGA6-64-OK
Assigning to QA now, Advisory: ======================== Some users reported that our current smtube package stopped working and shows an error dialog with "No video found" and "It wasn't possible to find the URL for this video". This issue come from the last changes in youtube. So this update fixes this issue. ======================== Packages in 6/core/updates_testing: ======================== smtube-18.1.0-1.mga6.i586.rpm smtube-18.1.0-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm smplayer-18.1.0-1.mga6.i586.rpm smplayer-18.1.0-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm Source RPM: ======================== smtube-18.1.0-1.mga6.src.rpm smplayer-18.1.0-1.mga6.src.rpm

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.

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.
