Hi guys,

do you know if there is a youtube browser application
(not web based - slow)?

i've found enough pieces to start one
(youtube-dl, mplayer, gdata, python).

just that i would not like to reinvent the wheel and realize in the end
that it would have been better to contribute to another project
instead of starting a new one.

so, please help someone eager to throw away 2-3 nights

thanks

That would be nice. Something like iPhone has.

Kind of, only better

i'm searching for about 1 hour such an application, so if someone
knows if such a thing exists, let me know so i won't waste precious
time and beers

... right, beers are never wasted

The closest I can think is UKTUBE, but that is just a "Utube flash video player in full screen". It doesn't let you browse videos, just play them from a URL link you have first copied from web browser.

Maybe you can contact Urho Konttori (author of UKTUBE) and see if you can add your browser part into UKTUBE player. That might become a killer app!

Greetings Iancumihai:

A YouTube application would be awesome.

The one feature that is really needed is the ability to record a video off the N800 and be able to post it right away on YouTube.

Actually, a better site that has more potential would be Daily Motion.
They are beginning to accept HD Video.

If you can intergrate this feature into your apps, then many users will be able to VideoBlog instantly.
This is a great feature for businesspeople, students, journalists, bloggers, etc.

Iancumihai if you need beta tester I can help.

Regards Robert

i did not expected such an interest for a a youtube player.
let's see what i can do.

that feature will be left after listing and playing video content.

Yeah there is a real big interest for such a player. Infact Kontorri's uktube was really a big big hit. If you can come out with anything near to what you seem to be promising..... i think your app would be the killer app.

All the best.

You stole my idea
I started digging on the gdata python bindings and was able to retrieve the information I needed, tried to play the video URL with gstreamer with no luck, I should try mplayer. It'll work for sure and better

But i do have other issues to solve first: my daily job.

Also I am not (yet) good at UI. Could someone post a mock up of the UI ? Big buttons, no particular effects (yet).

hehe ... in the end there will be only one.

daily job problem here also.

if one of us gets something interesting/more advanced .. etc i think we should join forces

but for a couple of days i'll give it a try myself.

right, .... mockups ... there is need for mockups ... please help

If you wish I can send you what I've done so far...
It's not that much, just a fast coding in python to get the final URL,

BTW, I am more than willing to join forces...

EDIT: added forgotten willingness :P
