Update: 3.0.7 is out now.

This version focusses on bugfixes again.
Mainly Youtube video streams are fetched correctly again. Google disabled the http API calls for this so Webcat siwtched to using https.
The Youtube Quality Chooser contextmenu now opens up correctly again.
Finally Youtube-DL support has been added to Webcat.
It autodownloads youtube-dl or copies it from LLs video player if installed and places it in ~/.share/harbour-webcat folder.
It autoupdates itself whenever you visit a youtube video if the youtube-dl binary is older than 10 days.
360p Streams are the only streams ytdl will try to grab and replaces the 360p stream previously grabbed by the faster yt.js API call.
Vevo and other encrypted videos should be recognized but be aware that ytdl takes a bit longer to grab the video stream so be patient.
If a video is not working wait for a few seconds and try again using the 360p option (long press play button in mediabar to choose quality)

Changes in an Overview:
  • Switch Youtube getting streams to using https (Fixes Youtube video playback)
  • Fixed ytQualityChooser not appearing
  • Add ytdl support (Download or copy from LLs video player)
  • YTDL Support: 360p videos are loaded by default (if a Video is not playing back try the 360p option by long pressing the play button in mediabar)
  • YTDL Support: Update ytdl if binary older than 10 days automatically
  • Adjust video player component size for new yt mobile site
  • Fixed race condition in suggestionView hide on Enter key press

As always you can get the new version from openrepos.net

P.S.: A new QtWebkit 5.212 version with some speed fixes and a fix for non click responsiveness on Xperia devices is expected to land in openrepos.net aswell (html5 media enabled version).
Though I suggest you use the nonhtml5 capable version that you can get from here: https://build.merproject.org/package...k/qtwebkit5212
