@marxian: thank for the update.
A little bit OT, but why do you decide to go back to plain Qt? qmltube is working flawlessly. Any particular reason why you didn't use your hildon-qml components?

Indeed Marxian, you have made an interesting journey from Python to QML and back to C++.
A more in depth explanation would be interesting for a blog entry.

Cool, that looks pretty.
Reminds me a lot of the Harmattan version of cuteTube.
Speaking of which, is there an option to use an unthemed cuteTube (or using the Fremantle-style QtComponents for Fremantle), for those who like to have it fit in with the rest of Fremantle?

- Some performance issues with popup elements (menus/context menus/dialogs) in the Hildon QML components. I think these can be fairly easily addressed.
- I planned to work on a desktop version of cuteTube, and decided to use QtGui for that, so I wanted to familiarise myself with QtGui again. I've since decided not to bother with cuteTube for desktop and instead write a Qt equivalent to JDownloader. I only need the download features for desktop anyway.
- I want to move on from cuteTube and focus on other projects. Before I do that, I want to achieve the best results possible, both in terms of performance (where QtGui has an advantage) and features.
- For the hell of it. It was painful to use QtGui again at first, but I've since learned to like it.

Some things I've noticed.
I can't seem to change the player to KMPlayer. It always uses media player regardless. It's like it doesn't save the option. Also, how do you mark several videos from a list in this version? I couldn't figure it out.
Marking multiple videos works in the standard Hildon way:
- Choose the action from the menu.
- Select the videos from the list.
- Confirm the action by tapping the button in the 'edit' bar.
It's different from the QML version, but I made the decision to follow the Hildon standard where possible.

also does full support for Dailymotion mean I can upload videos there in this version?
There is no upload option yet, because Dailymotion uses multipart HTTP POST, which is not supported in Qt 4.7.x (support was introduced in Qt 4.8.0). I can implement it myself, but I think it's tricky (time consuming) to do without reading the entire file into memory.

It's also not simply a case of slotting the old code back in. The backend has been re-written, and the UI has been changed to make use of the additional toolbar space. I'd have to re-write the playback code, change the UI, and hope for the best on PR1.3.
Marxian, thanks for the update!
As some users mentioned before, can you also add an option for "play videos when minimized"? So if this checkbox is enabled, it will use some integrated videoplayer like it used to have.
It's kinda dealbreaker at the moment if you want to listen to some music (like just a quick streaming, so no need to save the flv/mp4 file), I can't minimize it to do other (simple) stuff, like replying a chat message...
Please reconsider this. It was a feature before, so I'm sure you can reimplement this back
I thought multitasking was one of the features of Maemo(Harmattan) right?
