Minitube: YouTube client without flash

*Too bad, there are a lot of videos which doesn't have mp4 file. As a result, minitube doesn't show a lot of videos.

Mnitube seems a cool app which let view Youtube videos. It doesn't use flash thus low memory usage required. Anyway I don't like flash, so I thought give a try. Unfortunately, even though I intalled it from Ubuntu Software Center (it seems like the same thing with Synaptics), it didn't show me videos. Googled, I found I need Qt framework network version.

On a terminal, type:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-network phonon-backend-gstreamer gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
After rebooting, it worked perfectly! As I enjoy comments on Youtube, it would be great if the developer implements a view-comments function, but as he's working on the app to make it simple, maybe it's already good as it is.
