Hmm. Not sure what that means, but scrolling speed should be in par with velocity speed of flick. Not just constant speed scrolling. Or let´s say that it should be possible to scroll tiny-winy faster or accelerate scrolling

Actually.. any link for all variables that control flick scrolling speed. (drag distance, drag velocity, drag+drag->more speed, possibility to give more and more speed to list scrolling)

Video list items are only as tall as they need to be to accommodate the thumbnail.

Weird, in old Cutetube thumbs are little smaller and list items couple of pixels thinner (good to point when it´s making clicking items harder, currently IMO items in list are bit too tall so pixels could be used more effectively)

This is very subjective, but I prefer the buttons as they are, and this application will be cross platform, so consistency with Symbian is important (it's the largest market for this application).

So I thought

Let´s make this killer app for that platform. Or at least I hope that you get nice feedback from here that helps you

This is under consideration, and would require that raising the menu be treated the same as raising a dialog (i.e. dim the background). I would then also implement the ability to dismiss the menu by clicking outside of it.

Sounds good. Would make it more professional.

I don't really like the idea of having different actions within each list item. It would be annoying to accidentally click the thumbnail and start playback.

Hmm. Yes it´s true that there is possibility to launch it by accident, but the area what you normally use for scrolling makes it quite unlikely (for right handed user in portrait). By adding overlay playbutton makes it also obvious to end user that what happens if you click just thumb. IMO normally user just want to search and quickly make it possible to just play video. (I´m a bit freak when it comes to counting taps to make something happen what I actually want)

I'm not qualified to offer a technical explanation, but I think this is simply a performance issue with the device (perhaps partly due to lack of vsync). I will be testing on an N8 soon, so it will be interesting to observe any differences in performance. Generally, visual elements are only loaded where necessary (there are a couple of exceptions), so I don't think there is much more I can do to optimise performance. You may have noticed that the lists containing simple delegates are not really affected. It is the busier views that contain more elements that suffer from some slowdown (Video Info view is the worst affected).

I already thought that this might be the case.

I promise this option will remain.

Thank you. Until you implement player that is better than kmplayer gui and gives us possibility to multi-task with cutetube

Overall freaking nice job dude! It´s amazing how long you have come with this little app.Btw. are you using youtube API or are you parsing pages or both?
