Comment 32 for bug 323649

Hi again,
I have now made some programming attempts. :-o
Managed quite a bit, I think, but couldn't fix the problem.

Firstly:
I located the the totem-2.30.2.tar.bz2 and downloaded it.
Opened the totem-youtube.c file (via browser) and copy pasted your patch to the right line, and it was saved.

But still same error message in totem.

I thought it might be because the file i edited is not the file 'assigned' to be used by totem? That totem still uses the old one?

So I extracted all the files. But that didn't help. So I'm thinking I need to 'connect' the new file somehow? searched 'computer' for the location of totem-youtube.c and there is only the one I downloaded...?

Help?

Secondly:

I've also tried the fix further up in this thread:

" < mrl = "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=" + urllib.quote (youtube_id) + "&t=" + urllib.quote (t_param) + self.get_fmt_string ()

> mrl = "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=" + urllib.quote (youtube_id) + "&t=" + t_param + self.get_fmt_string () "

But once i've opened the file mentioned:

   "open the terminal from Applications - Accessories - Terminal - and type "cd /usr/lib/totem/plugins/youtube"
    once you are in the youtube directory, type "gksudo gedit youtube.py" which opens the config file with admin privs (so you
    can save it later)
    within the file just opened, search for the original line shown in the patch (I just searched for "mrl" - it's near the bottom) -
   then copy and paste the new line, replacing the old one)"

 - its empty....

When I go to /usr/lib/totem/plugins/youtube in browser window, there is no youtube.py file there... I've searched file system and not found it.

Thirdly:
Does it matter that the two fixed are concerning two different versions of totem 2.26.1 and 2.30.2? I ve gone to totem in software center to find out which versionn I'm running, but found no informtion on it...

Also, learning from another thread; i can't watch videos at all, not in firefox links either. I've been prompted to search for plugins accepted and installed, without any change. So, I guess it is not (only) a totem problem. Sometimes it says sth about mountpoint alredy busy (?) more often 'do not have necessary permissions', and in totem too, and right clicking open in web browser

- IT WORKS! (Not in totem, but in firefox!). must've done something right :-)
