This application is useful for simple youtube searches and plays fullscreen using mplayer or mpv. Currently it includes mpv and can also use mplayer from PanPlayer2 if installed. You can choose between a preference for 360p and 240p. It is based on youtube-dl and or pafy (included).
Note: an option for 480p feedback is added; most videos (all?) are currently (12112013) not provided
in a mplayer compatible format by youtube and will revert to 360p.
An option to add videos to a playlist is added, controlled with keyboard shortcuts: 'a' to add a video, 'l' to list the current playlist, 'r' to remove a video from the playlist ('a' to add it back in), 'space' to play, 'c' to clear.

- update youtube-dl, since menu update didn't work here; may need cleanup of appdata/thetube dir
01012018 - build 19
- update youtube-dl
- allow use of mplayer from panplayer2,
this improves tearing
- change video player with m, saves last used
- config of video player may need some fine tuning
(for e.g. tv out)

@dimag0g: you can in fact use the dpad, space and the Tab (fn+space) to choose your startup option..i think

why did you include radiobuttons in startup menu? Because of them, it's impossible to choose an entry without a mouse.

its a youtube-dl bug, using a python 2.6.3 feature (firmware has 2.6.2)..not clear yet whether they fix or bump the required python...

Seems like the youtubedl update is still broken when I last tried. Could you have a look ?
