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

For some reason, after doing a search and clicking on any of the search results, I'm getting a blank black screen, instead of the info page.

If I hold a tap on top of a search result in the "search results" screen, i get the menu to "play, download or info", and from here also the "info" gives a blank black screen.

infos from "my channel", "most recent" and "most viewed" seem to work normally

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

Looks really promising. Couple of crashes otherwise it works quite good and mostly it is bit faster and responsive than old cutetube. Now we need only porn mode and maemo.org servers will be choking :)

Here is my flow of thoughts in random order. Sorry if some of them sound bit harsh :) And please agree & disagree or just ignore.

- Scrolling is fluid but it doesn´t accelerate when you swipe finger faster (as in cutetube (python))
- Type to search in video list view is almost must have feature (as in cutetube (python))
- Video list items are taller than in old cutetube. Why?
- IMO Search in top is nice but logically when you are viewing video list it should search FROM video list not everything.
- How about all buttons to top, search button popups area below top bar --> more effective pixels --> also it´s easier to use thumb on portrait mode to top items than bottom items. (or are you trying to make this consistent with symbian OS?)
- Make menu popup window consisten with settings window (transparent black background).
- As you said there is facebook/twitter buttons coming. I presume that they will be placed under video thumb? Also one click download button under thumb would be neat.
- Little overlay transparent playback button on over video thumb would be neat to indicate action of thumb
- I really really like the swipe left-right browsing in info-comments-related. IMO this feature should be used in many more programs to make using touchscreen more intuative and easy(e.g. panorama app, fcam). Also one thing I miss from all 3rd party apps is microb select text button that can be launch by swiping off screen to on screen.
--> how about go back from video list view to main menu with swipe from left to right?
- How about start player _instantly_ when tapping video thumb in list view and current behavior with tapping text. If this sounds viable then video list thumbs need also transparent play button over them to indicate instant action.
- Top download icon could reverse itself when list is pulled down to indicate that it can be pulled up from same icon.
- Probably not possible but after using maemo OS I have used to cancel menus/buttons just by tapping outside of action area. Cutetube-QML doesn´t follow this.

.edit
Scrolling/animations are slower in portrait than in landscape. Can someone confirm this.

..edit
And for love of god do not entirely disable external players support ;)

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

new version much faster and better for me.But now it doesn't show download speed as in only Cutetube. though other things have gone right for me.But is it using single connection or using multiple connections for download?

I reduced the maximum flick velocity, as the default setting seemed too sensitive to me. I'm open to changing it, based on feedback from users.

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

The idea is that you can perform a new search from any view. As I mention above, searching the current video list will be added later.

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).

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.

This is also under consideration.

I have considered this, but I need to give it more thought before implementing.

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.

I plan to remove that tool button, and have instead a drag gesture (like with the Android notification bar). There will be a download icon that will indicate the status of downloads.

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).

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

OK. I know I panned this last time because an update introduced a dependency conflict, but I've since decided to give it another go since the QML update, and I love it.

This has got to be one of the best UI updates in a long while.
Playback is excellent through KMPlayer, (although I am running at 1GHz).

Scrolling is nice and smooth with that little over-run and spring back at the top and bottom of the lists.

Excellent job.:D

support ;)

The visual customization of this great app can be easily change by edit the right file at "/opt/usr/share/qmltube/qml/qmltube/".

For example making menu popup window more consistent with settings window (transparent black background). We can simply reverse the color by edit file MenuDelegate.qml

Code:

Rectangle {

    id: delegate

    

    signal delegateClicked(int index)



    width: delegate.ListView.view.width

    height: 40

    color: "white"  ------> change this to black



    Text {

        id: titleText

        elide: Text.ElideRight

        text: name

        color: "black"  ------> change this to white

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

To make it transparent, you would also need to change the opacity. If you decide to do this, be aware that a child item inherits the opacity value from its parent. Lowering the opacity of the delegate will also lower the opacity of the text. To have a black transparent delegate with fully opaque white text would require

Code:

Item {

    id: delegate

    

    signal delegateClicked(int index)



    width: delegate.ListView.view.width

    height: 40



    Rectangle {

        id: background



        anchors.fill: delegate

        color: "black"

        opacity: 0.5 // or some other value

    }



    Text {

        id: titleText



        elide: Text.ElideRight

        text: name

        color: "white"

        font.pixelSize: standardFontSize

        anchors.fill: delegate

        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter

        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter

    }

}

QtMobilty 1.1 is not required for this application. However, I did forget to remove an import path to qtm11 that I needed for attempting to use the QML video component. That path is now removed, so you can uninstall QtMobility 1.1 if you wish. :)

I have also fixed the bug that resulted in a blank screen for some search results.

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)

Quote:

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)

Quote:

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 :)

Quote:

Sounds good. Would make it more professional.

Quote:

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)

Quote:

I already thought that this might be the case.

Quote:

I promise this option will remain. :D

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?

I don't like the QML list scrolling behaviour very much. Also it does not feel like velvet yet, seems like QML scene graph is needed..

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

To make the popup menu to auto-retract after few sec. by edit function toggleMenu(), it's located in all the files which name has view on it like HomeView, UserVideoView..etc..

add 1 line "menuTimer.running=true;" to this function

Code:

    function toggleMenu() {

        /* Toggle the state of the menu */



        if (menuLoader.source == "") {

            menuLoader.source = "MenuList.qml";

             menuTimer.running = true; ------->added

        }

        else {

            menuLoader.item.state = "";

            menuTimer.running = true;

        }

    }

then roll down a little bit and look for:
(note: there are several timer on the same page, make sure change the one which contains onTriggered: menuLoader.source = "")

Code:

          Timer {

                id: menuTimer



                interval: 600 --------> change to 3000

                onTriggered: menuLoader.source = ""

            }

Marxian, please add this auto-rectract thing to the next version...it won't take long to change...only like 6 files....:) Thanks!

The YouTube API is used for all except video download/playback. The main difference from the 'old' version is that I am handling all HTTP requests myself using QNetworkAccessManager, rather than using an existing library. This enables me to respond quickly to changes in the API (e.g. some libraries still use the old 5 star rating system). It is only necessary to parse the video web page to obtain the URL for playback/download, since the API does not provide these URLs (only a link to SWF and low quality .3gp stream).

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

Just in case anyone else has this problem - I was unable to start qmltube. It would give a black screen then crash back to desktop. Running it from the terminal revealed that the libqt4-declarative package was missing so a quick "apt-get install libqt4-declarative" fixed it.

Might want to consider adding that as a dependency.

to help portrait scrolling more smoother, i tried turning on the hw acceleration by edit /etc/powervr.d/hildon-desktop.ini and set WSEGL_UseHWSync=1
I can feel it scroll much more smoother. That was just me, I am not sure if it will be the same for you guys.

Quite off topic but, will the name "cuteTube-QML" be permanent? Or one day it will be just cuteTube?

We all understand why the "QML" but this is a very geek thing :-) This great app should have a cool name, like just "cuteTube" :)

I am sure Marxian don't want people to get confused with the python cuteTube version plus this is a total new rewrite version of cuteTube based on QML. Someone on this thread was already trying to download the old cuteTube instead. How about Q-Tube for the name, sound like Star-trek Q char...:)...

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

Marxian will definetely decide it by himself, but, Marxian since you can't continue developing both versions, i think it's a good idea to get rid of the first cuteTube as soon as QML version hits extras, and come up with a new name or leave an old name "cuteTube", which is perfect, I think.

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

Perfect. Thank you Marxian. People like you breathe life back into this year and half old device. This app alone is enough to keep me on the N900 for another few months.

2- will this app ever get a video player of its own ?? both kmplayer and media player have problemS .

The Symbian and Meego versions will have a QML video player from initial release. I am unable to get the QML video component working in Maemo, but I have filed a bug against QtMobility-Multimedia, so there is hope. :) As far as playback capabilities go, QtMobility uses gstreamer in Maemo, so I doubt there will be any scope for improving support for higher resolution videos on the N900. The Symbian version will hopefully have playback upto 720p including HDMI out. :D

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

this is very great so far. so smooth transitions. simply awesome.
as it is great at it's state I still got a wish list.

~~- post video to facebook (embedded)~~
~~- clear search button/option~~
- different color presets or custom colors
~~- the p0rn plugin ;)~~
~~- copy link to clipboard~~
~~- multilanguage~~
( are .po files possible? At the moment I translated the labels inside the .qml files.. but much work if you update that often ;)

Pro features would be:

- own player
- download and send video via bluetooth or email
~~- convert video to audio~~
- Desktop Widget

Anyway it's almost perfect at this state!

Thx again for it!

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

Just fyi:

changing the theme color by just edit a couple line (red color code below) in /opt/user/share/qmltube/qml/qmltube/main.qml

Code:

Rectangle {

    id: window



    Component.onCompleted: Scripts.restoreSettings()



    property string activeColor : "#6382c6"

    property string activeColorLow : "#3d6be0"

download folder path setting are in /opt/user/share/qmltube/qml/qmltube/setting.js , two lines need to be changed and one line in main.qml then remove the dbase files in .configure/cutetube for the change to take effect.

if you don't want to mess with the code above you can edit /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg to make you downloaded videos showing in the media library.

Code:

[Watches]

# List of directory roots to index and watch (separator=;)

WatchDirectoryRoots=$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/;$HOME/MyDocs/.documents/;$HOME/MyDocs/.videos/;$HOME/MyDocs/.images/;$HOME/.config/cutetube;

sharing and sending the video via bluetooth can be done through default media player
