Error ----

Can't locate LWP/UserAgent/Cached.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
LWP::UserAgent::Cached module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local

Solution ----

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install LWP::UserAgent::Cached'

Another error ----

 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./blimp line 55.

I got these errors with some numbers changed, nonetheless the solution did work.

Solution ----

PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install JSON'

Now I can see it opened, it seems to be working but, it doesn't.

I tried to login with youtube account and I got this error:

Can't locate object method "basic_json_parser" via package "WWW::YoutubeViewer::Utils" at /usr/bin/gtk-youtube-viewer line 895.

I downloaded this file https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer/blob/master/Build.PL and named it as Build.pl and made it executable and dragged it into terminal and I get this message:

Checking prerequisites...
 recommends:
   *  Mozilla::CA is not installed
   *  Term::ReadLine::Gnu::XS is not installed

I can't open a video in this player and this solution solved the problem, I solved the problem but still can't make it accept the account link code... can't link account but can play any video using this settings...

This is how you can do it: in Youtube Viewer navigate to "Menu" --> "Preferences", you'll get a script opened, find these lines:

video_player_selected      => "mplayer",
video_players              => {
                           mplayer => {
                             arg   => "-prefer-ipv4 -really-quiet-cache %d -cache-min %d",
                             audio => "-audiofile *AUDIO*",
                             cmd   => "/usr/bin/mplayer",
                             fs    => "-fs",
                             srt   => "-sub *SUB*",
                           },
                           mpv => {
                             arg   => "--really-quiet",

then simply change the line:

cmd   => "/usr/bin/mplayer",

to e.g.:

cmd => "/usr/bin/mpv --profile=pseudo-gui",

A small fix/improvement when using mpv if you want to avoid breaking a link into threads when clicking on the video to play remove this argument line from mplayer section:

arg   => "-prefer-ipv4 -really-quiet -cache %d -cache-min %d",

Better to use smtube

In smtube we can select the resolution to save bandwidth.
