    What is Minitube?

    Minitube is a YouTube desktop application. With it you can watch YouTube videos in a new way: you type a keyword, Minitube gives you an endless video stream. Minitube does not require the Flash Player.

    Minitube is not about cloning the original YouTube web interface, it aims to create a new TV-like experience.

    I am glad that is working and open source. I would not go and call it "Freemium". It's just time trial, which gives you about 5-10 min of uninterrupted usage.

    • There is no top menu-player for Mac and the mini player is just a small window that needs to be minimized, which makes the Minitube a Minimizetube ;)

    I'm not sure why you would pay for a freemium app on a technically freemium service.s

    ... with stopping video watching and popping up a dialog. This is not at all what I expect from a free application. (I tried on Windows 7)

    It is only free for Linux OS. For Windows and Mac you have to buy although the author allows try out.

    I'm willing to pay for it. It offers a better way to watch Youtube.
