My machine: 3.11.4-1-ARCH (x86_64)
WM: Openbox
The smallest problem first: The buttons don't have any icons, but they do work.
I can't see any video if I install phonon-gstreamer, it will just display the description in text. However if I install phonon-vlc I will get video but no audio.
I don't really want to use phonon-vlc, because I don't want vlc on my system, and audio would also be quite nice.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Yeah, I'm getting this too, exactly the same.
I've tried multiple different icon themes, and none of them have provided the icons for the minitube control buttons (see this picture).
I'm also having the sound/video issues - installed phonon-vlc and removed phonon-gstreamer, got video but no sound.
If this is a bug with minitube, I'll happily report it to the creator, but I'm not sure if it is or if it's a bug/misconfiguration with my Arch installation.

Here too. Minitube 2.1.3 does not show any control icons nor text fields (start/pause/skip...)
Have installed nearly every (icon-) theme possible.
Downgraded to minitube-2.0-1 (both x86_64 / i686): No icons but text fields at last.
Tested it against KNOPPIX 7.2 which comes with Minitube 2.0: There are all icons visible!

After running it in the terminal, it seems the problem is that Minitube is looking for PulseAudio for sound, and I'm using ALSA. So I asked on the MInitube forums if there's a way to tell Minitube to look for ALSA instead of PulseAudio, but if anyone here has any suggestions, feel free to post them here.

I installed phonon-vlc when prompted when installing minitube. Got video only. Manually installing phonon-gstreamer as well enabled both audio and video to work. Hope that helps. I am using alsa only and got the same pulseaudio error when using phonon-vlc only.

To fix the missing icons try this:
* Install gconf-editor.
* Open gconf-editor.
* In gconf-editor open /desktop/gnome/interface, right click in the right pane and select "New key".
** Name: icon_theme
** Type: String
** Value: theme name e.g. AwOken
* Quit gconf-editor.
* Open a terminal and run: DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome" minitube
If you see icons put 'export DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome"' into your $HOME/.xinitrc file.

Same issue here, no button icons and no sound.
Environment:
x64 3.12.8-1
spectrwm window manager
portaudio 19_20111121-3
libpulse is installed too.
minitube 2.1.5-1
phonon-vlc 0.7.1-2
I can play video with the phonon-vlc backend, but no audio. I cannot play video with the phonon-gstreamer backend.
I tried running the gconf-editor fix detailed above, but there is no "desktop" category in the gconf-editor tree.

I'm getting this error when running Minitube with phonon-gstreamer:
$ minitube
[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
minitube: xcb_io.c:274: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)This all happens after a video loads, and would begin to play if it didn't crash first.
If I install Minitube with phonon-vlc, everything works fine.

As far as the icons go, I cannot report anymore, since I'm now running a new x86_64 install with Gnome, and the icons are all working alright.

You just need the part of adding 'export DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome"' to your ~/.xinitrc file for make icons works
Offline
Using LXDE the DESKTOP_SESSION variable is always set to 'LXDE' so that xdg-open will use pcmanfm file associations
- no matter what you write to .profile, .xprofile, .xinitrc, .xsession or anywhere else.
So minitube always appears ugly without icons.
But you can modify the Exec directive of your minitube.desktop file to:
Exec=env DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome minitube'env' command is part of coreutils package and can be used to run a command under a modified environment.

For those getting video but no sound (vlc-phonon) and if you are using alsa when you get the error in minitube 'can't connect to pulse' on terminal, the solution is
sudo mv /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libpulse_plugin.so /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libpulse_plugin.so_bakThx renegat i was using the icons position from memory but now i had them again.
