Watch YouTube on your Mac

Description
Browse, watch, convert, and download YouTube videos on your Mac faster, because YouView uses the core technologies of Mac OS X to play instead of Flash allowing video to run smoother on systems with lower specs.
YouView contains great parental controls that allows parents control what their children see on YouTube via filters such as Safe search and flagged videos. By default YouView is set to moderate.
YouView allows you to choose the max size of video that is loaded such as 1080P.
When logged in with YouView you have the ability to view your special feeds such as recommendations.

I ask for donations to activate download/converting of video as it isn't an easy thing to make.

This project is being re-written from the ground up starting out as a video player. I will rarely update this project just to keep it working until the final project is done. The new project is called MotiOnline and it will support any video back-end and play almost all video formats.

Hey, This won't work. I'm on my Powerbook G4 Aluminium 15" and whenever I click on a video it doesn't even load. It just stays at a black screen, Can you release 0.4 or something? I had it before and it worked then.

Huzzah! Not only does the newly retooled YouView work again but I can now bring up the comments viewer. Been running this on an iBook G4 for the last couple of months and I find this to be better running than MacTubes which is essentially a YouTube imbedder - YouView can bring up videos that block imbedding. Well worth the modest donation.
