Need a new Version of smTube

[pillepalle]

Hey,

 

First: Thanks to everybody making this work.

I installed armbian on a beelink x2 TV Box with the old wifi Chip, we had two of them and the Android Rom just stopped working, well it worked but the Youtube App and such Things didnt. Im trying to reuse them as little Desktop Machines with armbian. For its Hardware it runs pretty good but there is one Problem.

I need a new build of smTube, the Version i get via apt-get is to old. The box plays the Videos via Kodi or with a direct Link in smPlayer well but in FireFox it decodes it over the CPU i think and then it has Problems.

I also tried to install a new smTube arm deb package with Gdebi but there are some depencies which couldnt resolved (QT5?), also tried tu build it myself the classic way i would do it on a x86 computer but i just failed   

Would be nice if someone has a a new build with the depencies or the default repo will be updated.

Hey Guys,

 

i tried again to build it myself and i did it 

Now the Beelink Box is doing well playing Youtube again. 

Here is how: http://forum.smplayer.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7999

 

This means: 

Download the Source and extract it via tar ( tar -xjvf <file> ) 

sudo apt-get install libqtwebkit-dev  libqt4-dev  zlib1g-dev  fakeroot  build-essential  devscripts  debhelper  g++

This  installs all Tools for Building smTube

 

Then just run

sudo ./create_deb.sh

The Script should be in the extracted Folder. 

If someone need just a ready to use deb package i uploaded it here:

You can install the deb by using dpkg or what i recommend is first install gdebi and install it with just a mouse click. 

Its the latest 16.7.2, tested on 2 beelink Boxes. If you dont trust me just feel free to build it yourself

Would be ncie if someone would add the latest Version to the repo

It actually works fine.  We could actually add this?

We could actually add this?

I would prefer not to.

1. It's relatively easy to compile new SMPlayer+SMTube if needed, otherwise copy-paste URL should work fine (and new desktop images will be based on Xenial which has newer mpv and smplayer packages)
2. Maintaining extra non-essential packages requires extra effort and provides almost no benefit in return

Nice to hear something from the devs

You are right now that i know which tools i need compiling is easy, also its now easy building a new Version of SmPlayer but its not really needed because the old version is also fine.

But why not updating just 1 package which is already there, you also could remove it because its not useable.

imho it provides a benefit for Desktop Users because Watching Videos in Firefox is not really working well. Watching them with smTube and SmPlayer is working like a charm.

Just asking: Will be there a fix in the Future for this or what is the reason why its decoding so slow in FF? 

i dont want to be rude, your os your choice im quite happy with it.
