Youtube2X Help

Youtube must have made a change because this great software no longer works. Any chance of a new version?

Since apparently nobody knows if it will be updated, can anyone reccomend a better way to watch youtube videos on a gp2x? I know there is a piece of software in the archive, but some of the videos lock up (or go out of sync) when I try to play them when using that software. Is there a faq for doing it that tells what software to use and what settings?

You might have to revert to manually downloading & transcoding. I'd suggest Firefox + http://www.downloadhelper.net/ to grab the .FLVs, then http://handbrake.fr/ to transcode.

You'll need to do a one-time profile setup for the GP2X in Handbrake (to set the resolution, codec etc). Maybe start with one of the iPod profiles and experiment from there.

[edit] If I have time in the next couple of days I'll run through this process myself. Maybe we can get a little tutorial up on the wiki.
