Fair point ; although a "simple" way to get round this is to split the component that pulls from the feeds into a separate package, which can subsequently be obtained from "elsewhere" while you distribute the shell itself as per normal.

A reasonable comparison would be the various LastFM mobile clients that allowed a user to import a key from a PC-based client but of course did not distribute such a key.

I could finally catch up on "That Mitchell and Webb Look" here in the USA. Thank you very much!

I am aware of the potential legal issues. The same issues exist in the case of cuteTube. There is a chance that an application such as this will slip under the radar on a niche platform like Maemo. Both iOS and Android have a much higher profile.

A few more teaser screenshots:

I'd like to release something by the end of the week (Sunday). :) The first release will have a limited feature set, but later I plan to add PVR features and such.

If you would like to have these colours in cuteTube, just open

Code:

/opt/usr/share/qmltube/qml/qmltube/main.qml
and set the following properties

Code:

_ACTIVE_COLOR_LOW : "#932424"
_ACTIVE_COLOR_HIGH : "#d93333"


Perhaps I will add an option for this in the settings.
:)

Stuart, you've got talent that is for sure. The possibilities with your applications are endless. What about SKY, specifically those with accounts to log into SkyPlayer?

The PVR option is also a super cool idea considering we have a mighty large hard disk to fill with video.

Keep up the good work! :)
