whitey py-yt not working

[mrteach]

so I'm trying to get py-yt to work and it is giving me this error. Tried searching and found no results

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pi-yt", line 9, in <module>
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'

solved =)

found this

export LANG=en_US.utf-8

I thought the program was a little different and would stream youtube videos... but it downloads then plays.

anyone know a program that can just stream a video with buffering.

Command line or GUI (running from X)?
