cutetube is really one of the gsaetert app on N900. I would like to say thank you so much to our programmer. It's been updated and it works well. I can download a lot of videos which are located in the folder .video But since the last update today, the search function doesn't work anymore. When I choose this and search for something, it can't show the search results. So I don't know if any of you have this problem? And what I should do to eliminate it? Thanks.
