Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The new build is in extras-devel. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

open - blank screen - crash from the latest update.
waiting for upgrade.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

New version seems to be working fine for me. Thanks, marxian.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

When I install cuteTube I am still picking up the previous version 0.9.7-1. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Have you refreshed your catalogues in the application manager?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

0.9.7.2 working again. but a bit slower.

Ctrl+backspace get you to your open apps and webpages but part of the video is visible in the background. looks really strange. bug or feature ;)

If you use control+backspace your menus get parts of the movie you are playing :) unfortunatlly the bug is not possible to catch with screenshots. looks ok on screenshots but not on screen. anyone else have this defect?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks - that has sorted it.

Great App!!

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I can see it on FeedingIt, but not any of the other applications I have open. I'm not 100% certain what the cause is, and I notice a similar issue using MediaBox. I want to eventually move away from Phonon anyway, as it's not really satisfactory. It's not an easy issue to tackle, and none of the media players (aside from the stock one, and that stops playback upon minimising of the window) have particularly smooth perfomance IMO (in terms of the GUI, that is). Nokia have not exactly made it easy for third-party multimedia application developers.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The app works except actually playing and or downloading. It say "playing bla bla" but nothing happens. Downloading will just say failed, or completed without downloading anything.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Question. Is it possible to add shuffle to the settings when playing all the tracks in a playlist?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Can you fix where this users' videos can not be displayed more? There is no + sign at the end....

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The problem is that one the results is not being displayed, so the application is behaving as if only 24 results have been received. If you check, you should see that 'DSP's Fan-Voted Top 10 Music Remixes of 2010 - Number 2' is not displayed in the list. I'll take a closer look at it and fix the bug for the next release. :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks for such a nice app. I've couple of bugs to report in the latest version:

1. Display doesn't dim when the app is running in the background with a paused video

2. No sound in silent profile, same video plays fine in the general profile

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

This is by far the best app i have seen for the N900 :) i really appreciate the effort you have put into this app.
I would like to suggest 2 things that would make a great app even greater:

1. Have sound on Silent profile mode
2. Have the option to set the orientation of the app to a fixed one. It happens sometimes while watching a video on landscape mode and move the phone around it automatically switches to portrait mode and it takes a couple of seconds to get it back to landscape mode so i would love to have the option to just set the orientation of the app to fixed landscape and completely ignore the accelerometer sensor.

Thanks for everything and happy holidays :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I only have the same bugs as everyone else so i'm just gonna say...
Good work my good man! :)

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

is there an update every day ? whats next ? every hour ?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Will everyone please read before commenting on 'bugs'. I have already addressed the points about silent profile and display dimming before. Any future posts about these matters will be ignored.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I highly appreciate your job and seeing couple of devels here getting frustrated because of some users who have no ability to first read I highly suggest that you try to keep "filter" constantly on :)

IMO You have done one of the best apps to N900. At least on user interface experience side.

Thanks for adding that loading animation to top bar.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Great work Marxian! Unfortunately after running the latest update, I am not able to play the youtube videos or download.

I am able to get the list of videos e.g. my subscriptions but when i view the video information and select 'play video' it opens up the media player after a lag but nothing happens. The video doesnt play. When I select 'Download Video', it queues the video for download but when i select resume download, nothing happens.

I used to view and download videos without any problem before the update. What could be the problem?

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Everything works now! Great app!! Thanks

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

UPDATE (11/12/10 @ 3.27am):
cuteTube 0.9.8.1 in extras-devel soon.

• Added video sharing via Facebook.
• Added option to set application to landscape-only mode.
• Incomplete downloads are now saved upon exit.
• Some cleaning up of the UI.
• Fixed a bug which resulted in the application not displaying all results returned by the YouTube API.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Can I request a feature, please? I would like to be able to playback multiple YouTube videos, one after another:
1. Multiple videos either via:
(a) Checkbox selection
(b) From a subscription / channel
(c) From a category (e.g. science & tech, comedy)

2. Mutiple videos playback ordering:
(a) Based on ratings (asc or desc)
(b) Based on published date/time
(c) Based on video desciption
(d) Based on the order it was selected from 1a
(e) Random

The reason why I have this request is because I sometimes just like watching YouTube videos for no real reason, and just to kill time, or to catch up with what I've been missing from a particular channel for the past week...

I would really appreciate it if you can implement this...and hope that other N900 users will have this requirement as well.

Ta.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Feature 1. (a) is already available. Select videos - add to queue - go to queue - click 'Play queue'. I will not be implementing any additional features at this point. My efforts will be focused on improving error handling/logging and addressing any remaining bugs/performance issues.

It has occurred to me that not everyone is familiar with the existing features of the application. I plan on writing a short manual and making it accessible from the 'About' dialog, which should address this issue.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Hi marxian, thank you for the prompt reply! My bad for not noticing that 1a is already implemented. This is the best Youtube app for the N900, and I really like it. Looking forward to my short manual!

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I just tried the Multiselect and Add to Queue features. Here are some comments if you don't mind:
1. After enabling Multi-select, and selected, say, 3 videos, press and hold one the selection and choose add to queue will only add one video to queue. Preferred behaviour is to add "all" selected videos to queue when in multi-select mode.

2. In non multi-select mode, "Add to queue" requires the user entered into the video page (i.e. another depth). IMHO, this is good when the user is "already" in the video page, but when would be even better if there is an additional button the user can use to add a video to queue from the list view as well (when not in multi-select mode). One of the poor design in touch base devices is the need to press, hold, and wait for a popup context menu (such as on Windows mobile devices...hate waiting for a popup menu)

3. When already in multi-select mode, with a few selection already made, going to queue, then back again will cause the GUI to be back in non-multi-select mode...and selection is lost. Preferred not to lose the selection if possbile.

4. In Queue list view, there's currently no multi-select mode to remove multiple videos from the queue at the same time (has to remove one by one).

5. Play Queue always starts from the first video. Would be great if we can start the queue playback from the selected/focused video.

6. Would be great to have queue loop, random, single video loop...etc.

I understand that you will not be implementing any new features anytime soon. Just want to make a note of it while they're fresh in my head. Cheers.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Amazing work marxian. Thank you!

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client

thanks

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

dhanurdhar, you can go to root from xterminal and type in
apt-get install cutetube
this should then install the app

Hope this helps

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Amazing :) brilliant job man !

I have a question that might be a little bit off topic, i'm wondering why isn't there any stand-alone app for MSN Yahoo and Facebook chat for the N900 ? Something similar to e-buddy and Nimbuzz ? Using the Pidgin protocols with the native IM client on the phone is a real pain, it slows the phone down and has very limited functionality. This is the only thing im missing on my old Symbian phone. I understand that e-buddy and Nimbuzz will not be developing compatible versions of their apps for Maemo, but question is: Is it really that hard to create such an app from scratch ? I mean with the amazing work you have done with the Youtube app, i don't think its that hard to create an app similar to Nimbuzz. My background about this is not very great but i would say the hard part would be the protocols. I just wanted to know if it's possible to create such an app ?

Thanks alot.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Good. I could feel a case of bloatware coming on. Many times simpler is better and cuteTube is just about perfect as is. You can't (and shouldn't) include every feature anyone might possibly want.

That said, I feel guilty saying I'd still like to see uploading videos added. It's the one important function that's still missing.

Great idea! Now if people will actually read it...should simplify things for you.

Many, many thanks for all you've done.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I really like the integration to other services but I have a question. Wouldn't it be easier to leverage the existing N900 'Sharing' protocols instead of writing new ones that are native only to this app?

That being said, what a wonderful app this is. Marxian, you have outdone yourself by creating a professionally designed and necessary app for the N900.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The sharing features didn't require much code from me, since I was able to make use of existing Python bindings for Facebook/Twitter. Most of the additional code is in creating the UI elements.

I am not familiar with the N900 protocols, but my approach seems to be the same as that used by other Python programmers when interacting with these services, so I would guess the answer to your question is 'no'.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

hey man this is such a nice app, its bloody awesome, it can do more stuff than the youtube app on android or ios (except for the playback quality, having a 480p support would awesome).
yes the player still needs some work, and maybe adding a nice ui to it might be a great idea.
just one thing, it looks like the player stopper working for me after 0.9-7 any idea why , updating to 0.9-8 didn't fix the problem .

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

it is great for a application do have the twitter and facebook forward option.

But do hope the next version will automatically show the video in the page .

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

That already happens with the new version of Twitter:

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Hi Guys,

i don't understand why i can't play any video.

It displays "playing video" and a black screen appears ?!

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

worked like a charm
thanks a ton

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

N900s Default facebook IM(conversations) works just fine for me. Also I thought that jabber protocol (facebook) should be quite power conservative.

Also speed is just fine for me.at least when chatting with couple of people.Maybe you should try clearing conversations history.

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client
