I can not open Youtube. Because of government restriction. So when I open minitube, I can not search or watch any video. I used tor and tsocks to open minitube, then I can search by minitube; But whenever I click on any video, It does not show it! How can I find and resolve the problem?

    Minitube has a bug which leads to no video output. A workaround is to install phonon-backend-vlc and to remove phonon-backend-gstreamer. Several user have reported to get the video output working.

    However the deeper reason is a bug in gstreamer. It seems this was resolved. So the bug fix should slowly moving into Ubuntu.
