That video isn't available in any formats compatible with the device, or YouTube doesn't list them. MediaBox tries to request format 5 in this case and apparently this isn't really available. Is this HD-only content?

Do you think it will be possible to add advanced search in youtube search?

I am particularly interested in "Sort by Upload date". There are several soaps on youtube and it is quite tricky to get them in the chronological order at the moment.

This is a task where you don't need any programming. Any volunteers?
well I can't program but obviously I will help any way I can. too bad as I keep hearing "this is not a phone its a mini computer" and the only real thing I need it to do that both my window and ubuntu computer can do it can't do.

Hello guys. Im a newbie here, I just got my n800 and trying to get the full advantage of this cool tablet. I've been researching this talk section and decided to install the MediaBox (latest version) but I can't watch any youtube video on it. It keeps saying "media not found". I thought it is a common problem, but i could not find anything on it on this site. Can anyone guide me how to solve it?

That would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Using the slider with finger/stylus blocks out the icons I'm scrolling through. I assume that's why most sliders are not placed right next to the icons that it scrolls

The N900 version defaults to single tapping because its touchscreen is excellent.
I would personally love that to be a configurable option on the N8x0. The multi-tap is bugging me more than I thought.

No can't seem to get Youtube to play anomore even in microB. It launches mediaplayer and then I get a message saying the file is incompatible or something. Real weird.

Feature/Change request:
When playing audio and going to look at pictures the music stops. Would it be possible to keep the music playing while you are browsing images? I understand terminating media when switching between music and videos though.


Having said that, I must say I am really taking to this latest version of your application and enjoyed it a lot earlier today.

Remote playing after Mediabox start via AVRCP oder home-widget
is only possible, when starting with skipping track. After only
pressing play, nothing happens. Pressing skip lets it start playing
with the next track.

Hi pycage,

Was just curious if gapless playback might be an open feature request based on your comment from a few months ago, or if it looks unlikely to be implemented? Not sure if I have seen it referenced anywhere besides that Q&A related to the quote.

I've been lobbying pretty much any media player developers on the forum for gapless (ask peter@instinctiv if he's tired of me yet!) so thought I'd see if there is any sort of priority for this to come to MediaBox eventually.

Thanks...

Well, the appropriate backend for this is still missing on Maemo. Let's see what Instinctiv will come up with (which will be closed-source, though).
Gapless playback does not go together with MAFW (so expect more stuttering), and may be more stressing on the battery as the DSP might not be usable for decoding gapless. But I'm no expert on this, so maybe it would work well even.
