Minitube Extension

WARNING!
Ubuntu Only!
Please read below how to properly install this extension.

This is an extension that launches Minitube from the browser using a special URL (minitubehttp://...).

For this to work you need to register the special URL that is used to launch Minitube.
For now this is only supported on Ubuntu (and probably similar OS-es).

To make Minitube the default handler for the special URI you need to:
- download the script (see below for link) to the Minitube folder (the folder with the executable in it)
- give it proper permissions to run (+x)
- and run it.

You can download the script from here: http://minitube-chrome-extension.googlecode.com/files/install-uri-handler

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/02/2013 First of all thanks for creating this extension! Just what I was looking for! After a few adjustments it's working fine on my system now. Here's what I did to get it to work: (Note: These instructions were tested on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS with minitube installed from the Ubuntu Software Center. YMMV on other distros/releases.) 1.) Install extension from the Chrome Webstore 2.) Create a script called minitubehandler.sh with the following content: #!/bin/bash MINITUBEURL="$1" ACTUALURL="${MINITUBEURL#minitube}" MINITUBE="/opt/minitube-ubuntu/minitube" "$MINITUBE" "$ACTUALURL" > /dev/null 2>&1& 3.) Either move the script to $PATH (e.g. ~/bin ) or move it to a folder of your choice and copy down the path 4.) Create a new desktop file under ~/.local/share/applications called minitubehandler.desktop with the following contents: Desktop Entry Version=1.0 Type=Application MimeType=x-scheme-handler/minitubehttp;x-scheme-handler/minitubehttps; Terminal=false Exec=minitubehandler.sh %u Name=minitubehandler Icon=minitube NoDisplay=true 5.) Make sure to replace the Exec line with the path to your script if you decided against moving it to your $PATH 6.) Assign the desktop file to the extensions MIME type by executing the following lines in a terminal: xdg-mime default minitubehandler.desktop x-scheme-handler/minitubehttp xdg-mime default minitubehandler.desktop x-scheme-handler/minitubehttps 7.) Restart Chrome That's it. The extension should now work. Head to a youtube link of your choice and try it out! Many thanks again to Nico Farmache for coding this extension!
