2 Minitube is a YouTube desktop application. It is written in C++ using the Qt framework. Contributing is welcome, especially in the Linux desktop integration area.
4 ## Translating Minitube to your language
5 Translations are done at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/minitube/
6 Just register and apply for a language team. Please don't request translation merges on GitHub.
10 Google is now requiring an API key in order to access YouTube Data web services.
11 Create a "Browser Key" at https://console.developers.google.com
13 The key must be specified at compile time as shown below.
14 Alternatively Minitube can read an API key from the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable.
17 To compile Minitube you need at least Qt 5.0. The following Qt modules are needed:
18 core, gui, widgets, network, sql (using the Sqlite plugin), script, dbus.
20 To be able to build on a Debian (or derivative) system:
22 $ sudo apt-get install build-essential qttool5-dev-tools qt5-qmake qtscript5-dev libphonon4qt5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite qt5-default
26 $ qmake "DEFINES += APP_GOOGLE_API_KEY=YouAPIKeyHere"
29 Beware of the Qt 4 version of qmake!
33 $ build/target/minitube
39 This is for packagers. End users should not install applications in this way.
41 ## A word about Phonon on Linux
42 To be able to actually watch videos you need a working Phonon setup.
43 Please don't contact me about this, ask for help on your distribution support channels.
45 These days Minitube is tested with the VLC backend only.
46 Please don't report bugs with other backends as they're not supported.
