AmiTube 1.3: YouTube client for all Amiga systems
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiTube enables watching YouTube videos on an 68k Amiga. They are converted to Commodore's CDXL format and downloaded.
As the developer wrote on his website, " I tried to implement that AmiTube remembers the splitter position. Sadly I made a big error there resulting in a very small barely recognizable List on the left side of the window. I only tested it on m68k-Amiga where it did not happen, but after a bit of trying I found the culprit and fixed it."
The current version can be downloaded from the AmiTube website or installed via the update check in AmiTube.

George 'walkero' Sokianos has created Python scripts and bundled them in aiostreams ("All In One Streams") for viewers of the Amiga and other retro streams on Twitch.tv and Mixer.com, so that they can also watch the videos under AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS instead of on the PC.
Yesterday version 1.7.4 has been released with the following changes
- Did a fix in YouTube script to avoid SB videos. This was breaking the video selection.
- Fixed the video throttle in YouTube videos. So now the videos seem to play smoothly.
