@marxian - (as reported elsewhere, iirc on OMP thread) cutetube is downloading videos in format which is not playable on n900, see:
Code:

    Duration : 5mn 52s
    Bit rate : 129 Kbps
    Channel(s) : 2 channels
    Channel positions : L R

    Resolution : 16 bits
    Stream size : 5.41 MiB (11%)

Format profile : Main@L3.0
Format settings, CABAC : Yes


Is that a feature or a bug? Maybe it is a good idea to add another option along "downloaded videos resolution", maybe something like "High quality", disabled by default, and to download Main/High profile only if that is enabled.

To beat your next question - AFAIK youtube serves different content based on user agent. I don't know how cutetube works and if youtube API allows you to change that, but setting the user agent to some Android tablet (or even N9's browser, maybe a bit of experimenting will be needed) should force youtube to send H264 videos in Low profile.

EDIT:

for test video, see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1474


EDIT2:
BTW devel->testing->extras promotion is working, maybe you should consider promoting cutetube, the version in maemo extras is 1.3.2 and is broken AFAIK
