Minitube 32-bit Install Issues

has 304 for 18.04

Yes, but it's not installable from that ppa. I went down this road before, I did manage to get it installed eventually manually, even think I wrote-up on here how to do it.

That does seem the case, the xorg-video-abi that 18.04 is now using (release or HWE) isn't supported. Not sure why they bother to still have in ppa..
You may be able to use smtube, best from the smplayer ppa, benefits a little setup..

[enigma9o7]

Yes, smtube does work as an alternative, spent time yesterday getting command lines I liked for the media players and works ok, can't make window size ideal for variety of video resolutions, but the biggest downside in my use case (5-year old kids who can hardly read) is no search history, so they can't just click on stuff I've typed before (i.e. abc songs, phonics, coloring, etc), instead seeing the popular videos list as the start screen. Minitube is ideal for them and I wish I could get it working again.

[enigma9o7]

I saw minitube 3.2 was released, with bugfixes for video issues. Hoping it might solve my video problem on one machine and possibly even segfault on the other, I tried to make it. Both machines cannot make tho, get error about operator[]...

mc4man, if you are able to successfully package it for your ppa, I'd love to try it. (or of course idea for why I can't make). I of course am using librariers/etc from your ppa that did allow me to make version 3.1 without error.

[mc4man]

I saw minitube 3.2 was released, with bugfixes for video issues.

Seems like a qt 5.9 issue from this commit
If I build 3.2 on 19.10 (qt 5.12) there's no such failure.

Filed issue, who knows..
Edit: so gist is 3.2 and up will only work with qt-5.10+, so once 3.1 breaks down the road that's that for 18.04
(- there are ways for individual users to use higher qt in local ways, nothing I'd care about..

[enigma9o7]

I just can't give up. I'm trying to make right now with this: https://launchpad.net/~beineri/+arch...-5.12.0-bionic

Seems to work. from minitube folder cloned from git, of course after adding mp4man ppa,:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt-5.12.0-bionic
sudo apt install qt512-meta-full
/opt/qt512/bin/qt512-env.sh
/opt/qt512/bin/qmake "DEFINES += APP_GOOGLE_API_KEY=MyAPIKey"
make

I first tried it with the minimal qt512 and got a project error during qmake about x11 module, so used the full instead of figuring out exactly what I needed. Dunno if running the env script is required, as I didnt try it without, but I did have to use the full path for qmake to report version 5.12.

[enigma9o7]

Unfortunately, 3.2 didn't solve my issues, same behaviour as 3.1. I still get audio but no video on one machine, and segfault after search screen on the other.
