Mactubes and Youview no longer working?

So, I just got my PowerBook G4 (867Mhz) in the mail, and everything is running great on mac OS 10.4.11, except for my Youtube clients. Both Youview and Mactubes are showing a single video, a Youtube device support video that is saying my device is no longer supported anymore. Did I simply not configure something, or is this an ongoing issue for anyone else?
Clicktoplugin is working fine for Youtube on Safari/Webkit under Leopard - just make sure it's updated to latest version.
Not compatible for Tiger though, in that instance you can use TFF with a Youtube viewer/downloader extension.
Yep. Still working. Even appears to work with videos that don't work with QTE. Thanks for sharing this, it could be very useful for us all.
Love that icon too.
MacTubes is still working for me--with a little work-around.
I keep a list of playlists with only one video in each playlist for each of the authors I like to follow. I then load the playlist and do a search by author to get the entire updated list of videos, sorted by date.
This doesn't work now, but searching by "Related Video" still works, and the videos play fine. There will be other authors videos showing up in the list, but the latest videos from the author I am looking for will be right there at, or near, the top of the list.
This will no doubt be too much trouble for some on this list, but it works for me.

If you use TFFx, then install this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-youtube/?src=userprofile
When you load a YouTube video page, you'll see a "Download" link under the video, letting you download the video in FLV or MP4 formats; if the video is available in HD, you'll get those options, too.

Yep, I also use a Firefox add-in to download YouTube videos. Not sure if it's the one you linked to because there are several that are very similar, but they work great.
And it's still working here.
I just watched a video on YouTube and downloaded a video from YouTube--both from MacTubes on my Imac G5.
Off to work now.

Update
Opening the latest version of YouView I got this message:
Meanwhile, the MacTubes website has stopped offering it for download completely, and an updated version looks unlikely at this point.

That stopped working too.
This works perfectly. Even lets me watch VEVO MVs whereas YV MT and QTE would not allow me too. Thanks to you posting this link I can now watch YouTube on my eMac once again
abit its a couple extra clicks but no biggy. Even lets me get songs via the MP3 option so i no longer have to use FLV2MP3.comI have had QTE installed from the getgo.... It no longer works QuickTime opens but a error comes up saying "This is not a video file" or some such thing
CTP never worked for me it would ALWAYS use flash as the only option and since the Latest version of WebKit is not supported on YouTube anymore i cannot watch YT via HTML5 either it lags.
----------
with a MBP, why not just watch videos in-browser? Flash is fully supported (unlike PPC) and HTML5 would work fine too. I switch between Flash and HTML5 on my Linux laptop because YouTube tends to lag on one or the other after a few days so i have to switch to the other one, I read that HTML5 is actually a huge CPU and RAM hog so using flash is less stress on the system (obviously not possible on PPC though)

Mine still works for QTE
I have the latest Webkit, QT 7.7, Perian 1.2.2 and updated CTP - Youtube is fine, can watch in browser as Flash, 240p FLV or 360 & 720 MP4, MP4 in Quicktime or download MP4 in various qualities.
When setting this up on my Powerbook I found it wouldn't work until I upgraded QT to 7.7 - that might be your issue.
And when that happened everyone in the Linux community jumped for joy with the exception the Free Software types.
i have QT 7.7 on my MDD...... QTE wont function at all with 7.7 QT dont even open when using QTE. Perian itself dont seem to work with QT 7.7
oh..... my bad.... either way CTP never worked like users on here stated it did Flash was the only option it ever gave...
