Doesn’t work on Vista. Same problem as last version. No Video, only audio. Very disapointed.

Ubuntu Edgy user here … your repo tells me a 0.9.5.3 version should be available (after sudo apt-get update) but the repo doesn’t have it (404 error after sudo apt-get upgrade). The repo only seems to have 0.9.5.1. Here’s the repo I’m talking about:

0.9.5 for the Mac keeps crashing while downloading videos. I managed to keep it open by pausing all but 1 or 2 downloads. If I leave it downloading more, it crashes within a minute or two.

2. Rename files: There is a Save File as, ticket assigned to our wishlist (#4160). I am not sure where that falls in the list of features to be implemented. Storing items in a directory named after the parent channel is the most recent improvment towards file organization.

3. Delete feed items: Your best bet would be to make a new ticket for this as a feature request. I am not sure how possible it is because the feeds are generated based on the search parameters.

Hi Greg – here’s are the quick answers to your reported problems, I’ll get back to you later on the other two.

1. Duplicates: There is an open ticket for that #4905 in the tracker. It is one of our priority tickets to get fixed.

4. Available Version: If you are currently running 0.9.5 – you may be getting that message because there were a few updates. Windows is now at 0.9.5.2 and OS X 0.9.5.1.

PROBLEM 1:
Redundant copies of videos I’ve already downloaded appear again and again, each time I launch Democracy Player; even if I delete the duplicates, they reappear. I have auto-download NEW for youtube searches saved as a channel. I don’t know if DP is downloading the same videos again and again or simply adding duplicate entries to its list but this is annoying.

PROBLEM 2:
I cannot choose a filename for downloads from youtube.
I would like to be able to browse downloaded files with ZoomPlayer and have some kind of meaningful file names instead of gibberish. It would be really nice if DP could use the title of the file on youtube as part of the filename, for example.

PROBLEM 3:
I cannot DELETE an item from a youtube search saved as a channel. Oftentimes these searches on keywords contain spam, which I’d like to manually delete from the channel so it won’t get downloaded automatically.

PROBLEM 4:
DP says there is a ‘new version’ available every time I startup but the latest version is 0.9.5 and this is the same version I am running

Thanks

I’ve been having the same “File Not Found” problem with Google video as user Abaddon and as reported here :

https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/

It started a couple days ago, and happens with any search term. No file can be downloaded, even though the videos exist on the google website.

Running windows XP SP2, and Democracy 0.9.5.2.

Since upgrading to 0.95 on my Core Duo Mac Mini at OSX 10.4.9, I’m seeing a great (and increased from previous) deal of beachballing.

Others?
