Running pi-yt fails

[valkiril]

I installed yt on my raspberry pi. When I try to run pi-yt I get:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ pi-yt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pi-yt", line 9, in
load_entry_point('whitey==0.4', 'console_scripts', 'pi-yt')()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/whitey-0.4-py2.7.egg/yt/init.py", line 46, in main_with_omxplayer
ui = Ui(OMXPLAYER_MODE)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/whitey-0.4-py2.7.egg/yt/init.py", line 83, in init
self._player = args.player
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'player'

Current version of youtube-dl:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2013.12.26)

Python is:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ python --version
Python 2.7.3

Omxplayer is:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ omxplayer --version
omxplayer - Commandline multimedia player for the Raspberry Pi

Same issue on Raspbian Jessie. Downgrading to 0.3 resolved.

0.3.3git20131216b34 on wheezy of raspbian also does not work with the same error

Any progress?

I'm afraid I'm snowed under with work to have time to get the Pi out to debug this. I'm happy to accept pull requests though.

Ok. BTW, I can suggest a workaround that worked for me on Raspberry Pi: don't run pi-yt, run yt instead but specify --player parameter with value "omxplayer" (be sure to install omxplayer first).
I.e. "yt --player omxplayer" makes it work ok on Pi.
