why is no one answering my question?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

A nice feature that could be included is a button which takes you back to the home screen since sometime you would be doing alot of searches and when you are ready to go back to the first page you have to be pressing the back button alot of times.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

one long press will take you to the home screen.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Great app marxian! Quick question, does this app take privacy into consideration ...beside the "clear search" button?

Meaning are all my searches and videos viewed cached or log some where. This could prove to be important if your phone is lost, stolen, taken in to custody by authorities.

thx

Have a look at the theme http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74065 :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

all the videos in archive disappeared, how to fix?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I found out what made cutetube player to not work and only show black screen. I had recently installed blue sky theme, which has custom transitions. I changed away from that theme and cutetube player is working again.

This is great app, especially when it can play the videos :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Ok, the video in archive has disappeared but when i do an ls of /home/user/MyDocs/.cutetube they are all there. i reinstalled thinking that some thing might have been broken but same thing happens. Any suggestions?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

is there anyway to find out how much video is loaded? like in normal utube, there is light red bar that shows how much has streamed n buffered n we can watch till there. is there any way to show the loading bar to show how much is streamed or loaded?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

@Acidspunk i have ShortcutDS and i work with the camera to go to dashboard so this wont work for me, maybe we can use a keyboard to go back to home like "press H" to go right to home

Update on my failed downloads problem.
Since my last post I left 1 video queued. I started cuteTube-qml and went to download, and it downloaded immediately. I'm now getting failed downloads again. When they fail the button displays NaN%.

No. Next time, use 'search this thread'. It really works. ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

hey can u implement in the next update somehow? and when a video is loaded, it doesnt save in cache. like if u wnana watch it again, u have to load it back again, is there any possibilty?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Isn't that what saving the video is for?!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

no. its for finding out how much has loaded but once u can fully load a video, u should be ablle to replay it without loading it on internet

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

What if there is a playlist of 20 videos. Should all 20 be cached? Currently, the application closes the video playback window once playback is completed, so the video window and it's child objects are destroyed. I could allow you to replay the last played video without reloading by changing this behaviour so that it simply pauses the video at the end. This would mean that users must close the video window manually. I could make this behaviour optional in the settings or simply put a 'replay' button in the video player.

The loading bar is not possible. Buffer progress does not work with gstreamer.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Update:

I am currently implementing playback/download and full API support for both Vimeo and Dailymotion. I already have playback/download working, so I'm now working on implementing the APIs and making some changes the the UI to accommodate the additional sites.

@marxian
Is S^3 version still in the pipeline?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Marxian,

Love the effort and time you put into improving this into being the best youtube app ever bar none!

I don't know why, but playlist and queue play often hangs at the end or before the next video stuck at loading... Sometimes, single video play gets stuck at beginning until I move the timebar to another point for it to rebuffer seems like. Are you experiencing the same? If you get the chance, can you look into it?

Really appreciate all you do bud!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I've experienced this a few times and I've already fixed it for the next update. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Love Marxian, the Northern Soul boy \o/

For all the guys banging on about Caching.....download the damn videos! It ain't hard. Tick, tick, tick, tick - down arrow.....done!

'Kin 'ell. Gotta meet Marxian halfway here tbh and do something for ourselves rather than re-writing an App to accomodate demands that can easily be met by downloading.

If I was a developer, I would be beating people up by now lol.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

can the cutetube player be in full screen insted of the annoying bar above ? or is this only happening to me ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks for the updates.

I get a segfault when using the command line -play with the latest versions, is it no more supported?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I broke it with some of the recent code changes. I'll see if I can fix it for the next update, which should be ready later today. The next release has support for Dailymotion and vimeo, so I want to add command line options for those videos too. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Any news on your BeBeCe player as I note you haven't updated that thread for a while?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

I haven't had much time to work on it, as I've been working on the cuteTube update. After further research and testing, it seems that none of the available BBC streams will play on the device. I was hoping to use the iPhone stream, but some changes made by the BBC mean that it is no longer possible to access it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Eventually, I managed to get the videos that I downloaded with cuteTube and get_iplayer working by using KMplayer + mplayer. MPlayer cannot be hw accellerated at the moment so initialise the playback then quickly press pause to locally cache. A glossy 360p, which looks "ok" (good but not amazing) on a 42"; importantly, no jumping though. Going over 360p (approx 500kbps) does cause jumping and sound to de-synchronise when video isn't h/w accellerated.

Bit off topic but I am currently working on a simple get_iplayer webpage-UI (js & ht/x-ml) but got to brush up on my cgi-scripting to actually retrieve the content. Nothing to compare with qml-/cute-Tube but better than trying to remember all the flags and settings for get_iplayer!

Edit:
Thanks for looking into this. The good news, I suppose, is that a download client does exist for iPlayer: However its commands are quite difficult to manage/remeber hence the need for a more user friendly client. As mentioned above, I had trouble playing iPlayer video with nokiaplayer but mplayer works ok - guess it's the way each accesses/uses the codecs.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Version 1.0.0 should be in extras-devel soon. Changelog:

* Added fully featured support for Dailymotion and vimeo.
* YouTube authentication is now performed via AuthSub, removing the need for password storage.
* Removed the need for YouTube login upon startup.
* Code re-factoring and minor bug-fixes.

The existing YouTube accounts table will be deleted, so you'll need to create a new account and authenticate using AuthSub (similar to OAuth 2.0). Both Dailymotion and vimeo use OAuth for authentication. You can create multiple accounts for each site, and switch between them as before.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks a lot for the nice update. Was wondering whether there is any update of xtube with those javascript errors fixed?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

thanks man U are the KING nice update, good update,...etc
thanx a lot

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Yutube is working fine but Dailymotion and Vimeo not.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

i just received the latest update! you're working on vimeo support?! this is really great!
i don't usually say this to another guy but i love you man!
is the meego coding competition some sort of voting/popularity contest? i'd like to vote for your app. :)
now i feel bad that none of my friends own a maemo/meego device... they're missing something really big... wait, does cutetube-qml run on symbian3? if it does i can still market your app! :)

edit: i hope nokia gives you an N950/N9, they really need an app like yours in their arsenal.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

The vimeo videos always work for me, but playing a Dailymotion video via the thumbnail in a video list does not work, so I'll fix that for the next update.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Thanks for your kind words. :) Unfortunately, you have to be a TMO user for 4 months before you are eligible to vote in the Meego Coding Competition. :(

<rant>

When testing on Symbian^3, I found that YouTube videos suffered from major buffering issues using both the stock media player and the cuteTube player. There must be an issue with the backend streaming over HTTP (maybe there is a setting in a submenu of a submenu of a submenu that will fix it :/ ). There are also a few annoying behavioural differences regarding loading translation files, reading/writing to the SQLite database (returns an error even though the operation was successful), launching the cuteTube player (background is transparent on Symbian until playback starts, so you can see the homescreen behind it), and several other things that make me want to punch the nearest Nokia employee in the face. I've spent six months getting this thing to work in Maemo5. I then spent time ensuring the UI is scalable to accommodate the lower resolution displays. Now I find that I have to practically re-write the f**ker to get it working on Symbian^3. No thanks. :/ I will stick to developing for the platforms that I enjoy using.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

too bad... i'm a newbie here... i'll endorse you in the N900 users from the Philippines thread. :)

anyway, thanks a bunch for keeping the N900 alive!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Nice update! :)

Some feedback:
Most Recent: YouTube shows the most recent videos, DailyMotion just loading...., Vimeo - No videos found
Same info on most viewed
If i do a search, YouTube and DailyMotion return viewable results but Vimeo does not.

Do I have to have an account on DailyMotion and Vimeo?

Edit: When i did the update only YouTube redirected me to an authentication process. Maybe that´s why vimoe won´t list any files.

And what does the facebook token do?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Marxian

I have just tried the suggestion in the post below and it still works perfectly on my N900 if you are still interested in the iplayer.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] cuteTube-QML - A feature-rich YouTube client
 

Most viewed and most recent categories are not available on vimeo, as the site does not use these categories, and there is no way of approximating them via the API. I just tested Dailymotion, and it looks like I made a typo somewhere. Vimeo search is working for me, but I think there is a possibility that API calls are restricted to the IP address that was used when registering my application, which would me that the API is useless for installed clients :/. If you would like to help me confirm this, you can do so by uncommenting the line

in the getVimeoVideos() function, which is line 20 in the following file:

[code]/opt/usr/share/qmltube/qml/qmltube/scripts/vimeo.js[/code/]

If you then run qmltube via the commandline

you should get the error reported by the vimeo server.
