Wow, looks very nice! I Like the way you made the main menu like the mediaplayer. Ill try it soon!

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

yeah this looks really nice thanks gonna try it out in a moment

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

Looks like the best YouTube player for Maemo!
Is it possible to select the quality (resolution like 360p, 480p, 720p etc.)?

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

Thanks. At the moment cuteTube plays/downloads the mp4 stream (fmt 18). I'm not sure that it would be practical to attempt playback of the highest quality streams, but I could provide an option to select higher quality for downloads.

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

I'm not very imaginative when it comes to UI, so I just copied mediaplayer. I need better icons, though you can at least see my crappy icons in portrait mode. ;)

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

wow this is really great!
thank you!

btw: get a free dropbox account for the next time. it has direct download and no wait

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

Looks good. After I get done installing nitdroid, I'll have to give this a shot.

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

fmt 18 is 360p. Is it possible to playback 480p (fmt 35 or 43)? The 480p video has a horizontal size of 854. I guess you can trim a little to fit to the 800 pixel of N900 display.

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

this would be brilliant, thanks much in advance!

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

I'll experiment with those formats and see how it turns out. I could always allow users to set the format themselves, just so long as they don't complain when they get 'buffering' every two seconds. :D

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

testing it right now
and im not exagerating when i say this is my new fav. app!

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

this is good.
i like it.

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

ah man!
help me!

if this gets going on my phone the first video ill play is billie pipers because we want to and jam to it!!
nyahahaha

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

Hello,

The app launches fine on my phone but when I select any option (i.e. most viewed, etc...) it just goes to the next screen and searches endlessly without bringing back any results.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-DJ

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

Nice app!!

I'm having troubles with some videos, so i am wondering if it supports flash 10. It says "Playing 'xxxxx'", when nothing plays at all.
It would be nice that if you pause the video it will keep loading it. I hate when the video gets paused waiting for the buffer.

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

480p video should do just fine on the N900 display so it'd make sense for cuteTube to default to that instead, and have perhaps an option in preferences or somewhere for selecting lower resolution for those whose bandwidth ain't enough to stream 480p.

Just my 2c.

[QUOTE=marxian;877439]I am pleased to announce the first release of cuteTube, my YouTube client for the N900. Features include:

• Browse, search, play and download YouTube videos. Media Player and MPlayer are currently supported for playback, with Media Player giving the best performance in my tests.
• Rate videos and view/add comments.
• Manage your YouTube account(s). You can add multiple accounts and switch between them dynamically.
• Create, edit and view your playlists, subscriptions and favourites.
• Create an 'on the go' playback queue, which can also be saved as a YouTube playlist.
• Full auto-rotation support in all windows and dialogs.

Looks nice, can't wait to try it.

Question, after you search for a certain topic and the results comes out, is there a way to sort the results by "Upload Date", "Relavance", "View Count", and "Rating"? Having that option makes it helpful, cause I would like to see newest videos for a specific topic and not stuff uploaded years ago.

Thanks.

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

I get 'codec not supported' on the 480p formats using media player. They will play in mplayer, but the performance is poor, and mplayer complains about the cpu being too slow.

I believe the Android YouTube client (and gPodder) uses the same stream that cuteTube uses, and with good reason it seems.

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

By default, the results are sorted by date published (newest first). I may add an option in the settings to allow the user to change that. I'm attempting to strike the right balance between features and potential bugs/complications.

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

Can you tell me what type of internet connection you are using please?

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

That's odd, they should be supported just fine. Atleast whenever I play those 480p videos on MediaBox's youtube client they work just fine. You sure you got all the extra codecs installed?

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

You can get them using the Application Manager. Or by entering

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

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

Awesome app with great features. Lovin it. But I do have a small problem: One download worked 3 others did not. It stays in the queued stage. Any solutions?

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

so yea ive installed it successfuly BUT i cant launch it.
all i get is a blank screen then it disappears.
im unlucky today.

how do you fix this?

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

Hi,

I have been using Wifi but you got me thinking so I just switched over to 3G and it worked. Odd - but I am cool with that. App looks great.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

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

does it matter whether you have US version or the global version?
i recently flashed my phone both emmc and firmware, i used the latest vanilla and pr1.3 US version in nokia repositories.

cutetube wont start with me, it just gives a blank screen then crashes

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

The code that grabs the video url was not robust. Some videos, particularly those that YouTube have flagged as containing copyrighted content, did not work. I've improved it, and it seems to have solved the problem. I need to do more testing, though.

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

I'm using the global PR1.3 firmware, but I can't imagine it making a difference, so long as you have the dependencies installed.

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

The host site seems to have reached its "hourly traffic limit". Can it be hosted on something more friendly? :)

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

This sort by is actually the thing I want the most out of any youtube viewing application.

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

it looks nice :)
please integrate a function to download the audio source of a video to mp3

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

I'm using it and it's cool :)

Only one thing. There are some video that doesn't start playing. I tape on "Play Video" but Media Player doesn't start. I did some testing and saw that the problem is, in my case, only the videos with special characters in the title like: ç, è, é, ò, à et simila. I hope this can help you

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

I'll be posting an updated .deb soon, with a couple of fixes, so I'll host it using dropbox then.

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

Thank you.

Plus one for the ability to download/play videos at 480p.

Also if you want/need help polishing up the icons let me know.

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

Looking nice.I'll try it.:)

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

just great man!
thanks a lot!
