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

ok much better :) nice work... maybe you find a possibility...

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

My suggestions:
-give the opportunity application start with or without entering the account and create a buttons of sign in and sign out...
-by the time of sign in... make a graphical way showing that it's loading without "exit the program"...
(personally i dont like when it's exit the application cause it takes long to sing in and then it reenter the app...)
-Add error massage when there isnt internet connection.
-Add volume button AND remove the default yellow bar OR just remove the yellow bar...

These are my Friendly suggestions.... Thanks for the hard work!

Favourites' list and playlists work for me now....
just the (+) buttons, for load the next videos keep some videos from the first search... maybe this is the way you want... or you can change this.

There's no point in improving the UI, only to have to start again.

You don't have to use the on-screen controls. You can control the video player using the keyboard (details in the manual: About --> Manual ;) ).

I have also thought about the possibility of a widget, and I want to do it. I need to fix the remaining bugs in the main application first.

In the meantime, I have uploaded a new build to extras-devel. Changelog:

Improved loading of video results. Should be faster.
Some tweaks to the fetching of video feeds.
Improved error handling.

I'm hoping that I have resolved the issue with favourites not loading, but I can't be certain. I experienced the issue myself last night, and it turned out to be due to one of my favourited videos being restricted by YouTube. So, if anyone still has that problem, you might want to check and make sure that you can still view the videos that are in your favourites.

Just updated and a massive improvment :) all my fav's now load up, much quicker too! Great work my good man! Can i ask when we be able to play on our mobile internet instead of wifi? Your earlier versions did it just fine and i kinda miss it. Thanks again

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

I've been a silent admirer of this app and it meets almost all my needs. I guess it all depends on how you use Youtube and what you want to get out of it. My suggestions (request?) is to be able to view "Most viewed" videos by category. I am a big gamer so I like to filter videos by category rather than All videos.

That is all.
Thanks for your work so far.

I can confirm this. Searches don't bring up any results. Just a blank screen.

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

i can simply say that we now have the best youtube app ever in the smartphones world, yes the player needs some work, but the app is amazing, keep up the great work man.
