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

It's a Maemo 5 bug. There is a whitelist of applications that can play audio in silent mode. Any application not on that list will suffer this problem. They claimed to have fixed it for PR 1.3, but obviously they haven't.

There is a workaround whereby you set the application name to 'FMRadio' (which is on the whitelist), but this might mess with some other things in my application, so I need to check it out.

yeah that use to happen in the old version (0.9-7 i think ), but marixan fixed it all, so are you sure you are running the latest version ?

You are doing the download in threads? Maybe that is causing the unresponsiveness then, threads are somewhat problematic in Python, especially when used to gain responsiveness.

(One could argue that threads are always a suboptimal solution if single threaded solutions are available)

In a Qt application, you should use QNetworkAccessManager to do the downloads in asynchronous fashion. You can track progress with that as well:

I don't experience any unresponsiveness when downloading. It may take slightly longer to fetch the feed if you have a slow internet connection, but other than that, I don't see any problem.

The only unresponsiveness I get is when the list of items gets quite large. The scrolling becomes a little 'sticky', and it takes a split second longer to respond to screen taps on the list items. I don't know if there's a solution to this. I'm considering reworking the UI using QML in future, so I'll look at this in more detail at that point.

cuteTube 0.9.9-12 is now being uploaded to extras-devel. Audio now works when the device is using the 'silent' profile. :)

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

That's weird, I experience huge slowdowns when I have downloads queued. Also, what you describe as split second delays can be up to one second for me. Occasionally, the entire applications completely hangs for several seconds.

QML version of the UI would be nice & responsive, however, that will benefit from using QNetworkAccessManager for downloading as well.

Can anyone confirm that cutetube works on 3G as mine isn't?

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

Wicked! Plus sign is back, much better than autoloading :)
Can i request you bring something else back too... The old way of rating a video imo was much better, i also liked the fact that you could see how the video was rated in the thumbnail before actually clicking the video. Kinda gives you a clue as to wether or not its worth watching? Thanks

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

Flick between 3g and wifi and try it because mine won't play either but only on 3g. Hope it gets sorted as i can only use this app when i'm at home :(

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

The star-based rating is deprecated, following the introduction of the like/dislike system used by the website. This means that they will eventually get rid of the star ratings completely, so it's better to stick to what I'm using now, otherwise I'll have to change it back again.
