And maybe there's something to theory of lucky prime number beta builds after all. TubeSock 3.0 has advanced to beta 19 (download TubeSock 3.0 beta 19 here!) and it fixes the crash on PowerPC / Tiger Macs in beta 18. ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/104 We're working on fixing the last TubeSock bug (a crash on PowerPC Macs with Tiger) but our only working PowerPC Mac died last week. After hours of digging through a half-dozen boxes of DVDs looking for a Tiger set that would install, I gave up and signed up for an ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/93 TubeSock for Windows has now advanced to the ripe old age of 1.0.8. The only new thing is the bug fix, keeping up with its Mac cousin's fixes for the recent YouTube changes. Download it here: TubeSock for Windows 1.0.8. My apologies for taking so long to get this release out. ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/89 Almost immediately upon releasing beta 17 on Friday, we received reports of its success along with many more reports of its total and utter failure. Beta 17 worked fantastic here, so it took us a day to figure out that the problem was only happening on Tiger (10.4), and then ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/79 TubeSock 3.0 Beta 17 is out. And the it's the best one yet. And not just because it's a prime number. Download it now! The YouTube download code is now fixed. We had to scrap the original YouTube download code. In its place is a new YouTube downloader written from scratch. ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/72 Hey programmers! Is your WebKit-enabled app suddenly crashing in XCode every time you run it? Does "Debugger() was called!" inexplicably showing up in the run log? Is it driving you up the wall? Me too, so I decided to figure out what the hell was going on, and it turns ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/69 Good thing we didn't release 3.0 final yesterday. Apparently, at some point between midnight last night (when we released TubeSock 3.0 beta 16) and this morning, YouTube changed something yet again, and TubeSock gives those "file doesn't exist" messages once more. Now, it's not a total loss. TubeSock 3.0 beta 16 still ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/65 Mike Canny caught a bug in TubeSock 3.0 beta 14 where the "Save as Mac" format would crash with TeacherTube videos. That's fixed in the new beta 15 (download TubeSock 3.0 beta 15 here!) along with the elimination of a few more debugging strings. Please give the beta a try ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/59 Today we pushed TubeSock 3.0 beta 14 to our testers (test for yourself! Download TubeSock 3.0b14 now!). This build isn't hugely different from yesterday's beta 11; the big change is that it adds support for videos from the Onion. Yes, I know adding features at the tail end of a ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/55 Today we are finishing testing of the next release of TuebSock, version 3.0. The new version adds some new features, supports some new video sites, and fixes some problems (not the least of which is an issue with YouTube that arose last week). If you're into beta testing, you can ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/51
