XMille is the cellphone version of the classic card game Mille Bournes.

Mille Bornes, also Mille Bournes, is a French card game. The premise of Mille Bornes is that the players are in a road race. Each “race”, or hand, is usually 700 miles or kilometers long (1000 for the standard 4-player game), but the first player to complete that distance exactly has the option to declare an extension in which case the race becomes 1000 miles, hence the name of the game which means “one thousand milestones”. The object of the game is to reach 5000 points, which normally takes several hands.

Gets videos from YouTube and transcodes them to GP2X compatible video files. Also supports other video portals. Includes a GUI module (youtubed-2x_gui.py).

Changes:

This is a quick update to YouTubed-2x. I have finally found tips on better practices regarding using PyGTK in multi-threaded applications; I was along the right track with the last release. Now I can say that the GUI is solid.

Also, XTube support has been removed. This was originally planned before the last release as XTube has become useless to me. The plan was to keep XTube support in YouTubed-2x until the parser broke and that has now happened.

Overall, this release is a very minor update.
