    • Added video sharing via Facebook.
    • Added option to set application to landscape-only mode.
    • Incomplete downloads are now saved upon exit.
    • Some cleaning up of the UI.
    • Fixed a bug which resulted in the application not displaying all results returned by the YouTube API.

    Can I request a feature, please? I would like to be able to playback multiple YouTube videos, one after another:
    1. Multiple videos either via:
    (a) Checkbox selection
    (b) From a subscription / channel
    (c) From a category (e.g. science & tech, comedy)

    2. Mutiple videos playback ordering:
    (a) Based on ratings (asc or desc)
    (b) Based on published date/time
    (c) Based on video desciption
    (d) Based on the order it was selected from 1a
    (e) Random

    The reason why I have this request is because I sometimes just like watching YouTube videos for no real reason, and just to kill time, or to catch up with what I've been missing from a particular channel for the past week...

    I would really appreciate it if you can implement this...and hope that other N900 users will have this requirement as well.

    Ta.

    Feature 1. (a) is already available. Select videos - add to queue - go to queue - click 'Play queue'. I will not be implementing any additional features at this point. My efforts will be focused on improving error handling/logging and addressing any remaining bugs/performance issues.

    It has occurred to me that not everyone is familiar with the existing features of the application. I plan on writing a short manual and making it accessible from the 'About' dialog, which should address this issue.

    Hi marxian, thank you for the prompt reply! My bad for not noticing that 1a is already implemented. This is the best Youtube app for the N900, and I really like it. Looking forward to my short manual!

    I just tried the Multiselect and Add to Queue features. Here are some comments if you don't mind:
    1. After enabling Multi-select, and selected, say, 3 videos, press and hold one the selection and choose add to queue will only add one video to queue. Preferred behaviour is to add "all" selected videos to queue when in multi-select mode.

    2. In non multi-select mode, "Add to queue" requires the user entered into the video page (i.e. another depth). IMHO, this is good when the user is "already" in the video page, but when would be even better if there is an additional button the user can use to add a video to queue from the list view as well (when not in multi-select mode). One of the poor design in touch base devices is the need to press, hold, and wait for a popup context menu (such as on Windows mobile devices...hate waiting for a popup menu)

    3. When already in multi-select mode, with a few selection already made, going to queue, then back again will cause the GUI to be back in non-multi-select mode...and selection is lost. Preferred not to lose the selection if possbile.

    4. In Queue list view, there's currently no multi-select mode to remove multiple videos from the queue at the same time (has to remove one by one).

    5. Play Queue always starts from the first video. Would be great if we can start the queue playback from the selected/focused video.

    6. Would be great to have queue loop, random, single video loop...etc.

    I understand that you will not be implementing any new features anytime soon. Just want to make a note of it while they're fresh in my head. Cheers.

    dhanurdhar, you can go to root from xterminal and type in
    apt-get install cutetube
    this should then install the app

    Hope this helps

    Amazing brilliant job man !

    I have a question that might be a little bit off topic, i'm wondering why isn't there any stand-alone app for MSN Yahoo and Facebook chat for the N900 ? Something similar to e-buddy and Nimbuzz ? Using the Pidgin protocols with the native IM client on the phone is a real pain, it slows the phone down and has very limited functionality. This is the only thing im missing on my old Symbian phone. I understand that e-buddy and Nimbuzz will not be developing compatible versions of their apps for Maemo, but question is: Is it really that hard to create such an app from scratch ? I mean with the amazing work you have done with the Youtube app, i don't think its that hard to create an app similar to Nimbuzz. My background about this is not very great but i would say the hard part would be the protocols. I just wanted to know if it's possible to create such an app ?

    Thanks alot.

    Good. I could feel a case of bloatware coming on. Many times simpler is better and cuteTube is just about perfect as is. You can't (and shouldn't) include every feature anyone might possibly want.

    That said, I feel guilty saying I'd still like to see uploading videos added. It's the one important function that's still missing.

    Great idea! Now if people will actually read it...should simplify things for you.

    Many, many thanks for all you've done.
