Extension summary

WARNING! Ubuntu Only! Please read below how to properly install this extension.

This is an extension that launches Minitube from the browser using a special URL (minitubehttp://...).

For this to work you need to register the special URL that is used to launch Minitube. For now this is only supported on Ubuntu (and probably similar OS-es).

To make Minitube the default handler for the special URI you need to:

  • download the script (see below for link) to the Minitube folder (the folder with the executable in it)
  • give it proper permissions to run (+x)
  • and run it.

You can download the script from here: http://minitube-chrome-extension.googlecode.com/files/install-uri-handler
