I have been messing around with YouTubed-2x on my machine on occasion for the last few months so I am releasing my updates to the project. I can't remember most of what I changed but here are some of the noticeable changes.

  • Updated ffmpeg and wget commands so they work with the versions bundled with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
  • Added a small test suite
  • Started an effort to re-factor the code to allow for a true install
  • Pages are parsed in a thread so the GUI does not lock up
  • Supported sites option has been added to help menu. It will be updated regularly
  • Altered YouTube parser due to problems with some pages regarding high-quality versions. The problem does not seem to exist now. The parser now checks for a high-quality video download and will then revert to the standard quality version; old method parsed the video page for Javascript calls. Old example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwvix7uEQg0

It should be noted that several of the parsers in the program are currently broken; they are noted in the test suite and in the site parsers file. If people want them fixed then I will make an effort to fix them as soon as I can. Otherwise, I will take my time to fix any parsers that I don't use that are currently broken.
