Thanks, Marxian. I replaced the /opt/ file you provided, and the way Cutetube works for me now is that, if you select a video from a list by pressing the description, it takes you to the info page of the video, but does not play the video. On that page, the related video tab loads data and works as anticipated. The trouble is that if you play a video in either orientation, the related videos button is totally nonresponsive, though the comments button works as it should on that same page. Weird. I did find that, if you got to the working related videos page as descibed above, then the videos would load without crashing.

More not-so-good news: the YouTube event feed issue with duplicating entries is still happening on my device, though I still find the Daily Motion videos on the event feed to be totally free of the duplication error.

I hope that this helps you troubleshoot.

Yes, that's the correct behaviour.

I can't reproduce that. The related videos are working as expected for me. The new file doesn't change very much (just one line of code). The behaviour should be exactly the same as before, aside from fixing the crashing.

I'm struggling to explain that. I haven't had any duplicates in the last few weeks of testing. When the video feed is retrieved, the current date/time is stored and this date/time is used for the next request, so if the feed is first retrieved at 12:00, the next time the feed is retrieved, the server will be asked to return only videos uploaded after 12:00. Can you tell me which country/timezone you are in?

Integrated cutetube player is quite cpu intensive as if the dsp is not used. Just wondering since playing a minimized video with OVP didn't bring the device to a standstill. Also, while playing a video in portrait, there is quite the lag when scrolling the comments.

Thanks for prompt reply. I'm in Houston, TX, USA, which is central standard time.
Given what you've said, I'm beginning to wonder if my unstable version of FasterN9 may be playing a role in the event feed duplication issue, because it does cause some small issues with 'refreshing' different apps, causing them to re-label already read text messages as being 'unread'. Maybe it's screwing with the cutetube file used to update the event feed. I'll try different setups.

As for the related videos, I'll just wait for the store update, since I can access the info on the first info page. Thanks for checking this out.

cuteTube uses the same API as OVP, so it should use the same number of CPU cycles to play the same video. The backend used is gstreamer (I don't have any control over this).

Scrolling will be affected whilst the video is playing, as the video playback is using up CPU cycles. There's no way to avoid that, other than to remove the feature. That's the approach that Nokia themselves took with the stock player by not allowing video playback to continue when the application is minimized. They took the view that it's better to maintain performance and avoid user complaints of 'lag'. The only way to have your cake and eat it is to throw more hardware at the problem.

I have taken a small step to reduce the number of CPU cycles used when cuteTube is minimized during playback. The progress bar and position label are now updated less frequently (every 10 seconds, like the stock music player). It doesn't make a huge difference, but it's better than nothing. The change is included in the update that is awaiting QA approval.

Thanks. In the meantime, I'll do some additional testing with different timezones, to ensure that this is not affecting the fetching of results.

I'm sensing a mix-up about how the related videos behave. In the video playback screen, tapping on a related video results in that video being played, rather than taking you to the info screen. The info can be viewed by tapping on the 'Info' tab, which will be refreshed to show the info of the currently playing video. If you press and hold a related video, you can choose either to play it or add it to the queue.

marxian,

There is an update in the Store but when I try updating it says "Application incompatible with other installed applications" ; same even after installing prior cutetube installation...

Marxian,

I just successfully downloaded version 1.5.1 and the related videos feature is working great. Thanks again.
