It should be fairly easy, because there is not much Maemo-specific code, but I'm not sure what the status of Python is on Symbian 3. I believe Google are porting their official YouTube client using Qt Quick.

1) option to have checkbox enabled on all videos to click for download. that way if there is a series you wish do download that has 10 10 minute segments, you can just check each one from the main search screen and then click download, as opposed to clicking each one individually and then hitting back, and finding the next one.

2) ability to play back downloaded videos directly from within the app (if that exists I missed it).

3) finally an option when not using wifi to have downloads and playback switch to 3g if available and then switch back to 2g if it was the default before playback, download.

Thanks again, youtube was really unusable before.
1) That feature has always been available:



2) This feature is also available. The application checks your download directory to see if you have previously downloaded the video (will not work if you change the filename ).

3) I'm getting a headache just thinking about that one. Changing connections takes too long.

Bug
-While video is playing and you accidentally rotate device (give it someone else e.g.) it tries to rotate video but end result is somewhat weird minimized window.
-->Lock screen orientation while playing

And oh please if it is possible leave external player option there
You complain about the 'Playing...' notification and then say there is no feedback. I will probably add a progress bar or other notification when the player is starting up. This pause only occurs when you first load the window. The 'Playing...' notification is useful when you play a playlist, so you know which video is about to be played.

I am trying to solve the rotation problem. The window is set to landscape mode, but it seems that it inherits the auto-rotation from the parent window, so I need to find a way around it.

External player option is not coming back, because I want to make this application eejit-proof.

I might bring back the high resolution options for downloads, but I get sick of people asking why the 720p downloads will not play on the N900.
