“Do you want to watch YouTube videos in High-definition format
without opening a web browser or without having the need to install
Flash Player? If yes, then let me introduce you to a simple but
capable YouTube desktop client called Minitube.

“Minitube has an intuitive user-interface, which I should say is
ideal to use on media center distros such as Mythdora and
Mythbuntu, aside from using it on ordinary desktop Linux
distributions of course. To start watching videos, simply type a
keyword on the search box.

“Most recent searches will also appear at the Minitube start-up
screen.”
