Fully integrated youtube!!! Version2!!!! June 19th
 

If your like me one of the few features that I've been jealous of on the iphone and droids ( booo) is integrated youtube. When they receive a youtube link via text or email it opens up their youtube player. Not the web browsers.

It took a while for me to get it working right but now we have it too!!!!:headbang:

Here are the features that I focused on

1. Youtube links should be played in the high quality htc youtube player not some crappy RTSP link in the CORE player or streaming media player
2. Youtube Links should not! open the web browser they should open up the youtube player.
3. Our PPCs do not have much RAM or processor power to go around so this app should not use ANY!
4. Our PPCs do not have much RAM or processor power to go around so this app should not use ANY!
5. Our PPCs do not have much RAM or processor power to go around so this app should not use ANY!

I beleive I accomplished this, the youtubelinks app is not a system service that stays on all the time and sucks up performance and battery life. I wrote some of the code in c++ to keep it as small as possible. And as an added bonus the HTC youtube app runs in a special mode so that when the youtube video is finished it closes itself.

I hope you guys enjoy playing youtube videos as much I have. It's my code, so if there are any bugs report it and I can easily fix it.


Version 2 fixes

1. Complete written in c++ should help with some net35 isssues.
2. Fixed errors when opening non youtube website
3. reduced file size

Lastly I ask that you do not! share the cab, instead to centralize things share the link to this thread.

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Very cool, I look forward to testing this out, good work!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

How do you know this will work on a TP2? You show Imagio and the link takes you to the imagio thread...
Anyone with a TP2 try this successfully?

i think you just volunteered yourself...

the TP2 and the Imagio differ only in the keyboard, the specs are the same.

Regardless nothing in this app is Imagio specific and it should work on any windows mobile 6.5 phone ( probably even 6 ) , as long as the htc youtube player is installed

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I just tested this out, and can confirm that it works perfectly on my TP2. oened a link from an email, it launched the YouTube app, played the vid, then closed the app.

Well done! Thanks and thanked!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I just tested this on my TP2 and can confirm that it woks perfectly. Props! thanks and thanked!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I haven't tried it yet but thanked you anyways and I'm gonna install this later!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Cool. If I ever get a rom with youtube I will give it a try. I dl'd to stash away in my files. thanks a bunch.

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Actually even if you dont have the htc youtube app you can benefit from this app. Whenever you click on a youtube link it will open the mobile version of youtube in your browser. In other words if your receive a link http://www.youtube.com/watch........... it will convert then open the link Http://m.youtube.com/watch...........

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Very nice. Mind if I cook it in my next rom?

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Thank you!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Cook Away!!!!!

Although your more then welcome to cook it into your rom, I ask that you please do not share the cab directly, instead point to the thread.

Secondly, give me a shot out in your thread.

Cook Away!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Awesome bro! Thanks for this excellent little app...:D

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

shut my mouth I wonder if a chef can integrate this in his rom...

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I have not tested yet but from what I read the app appears to work as intended. Thanks for your hard work, you have been thanked. And you inspired me to get me C++ home work started lol. =D>

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

so i have installed this on my hd2, what exactly is it supposed to do? make any link from youtube open directly with my youtube app? if so im assuming if the link is provided from my opera browers it wouldnt work?

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

All links that are open outside of the browser will open the youtube app directly. I thought about writing code that will make links inside the browser open youtube but I decided not to for 2 reasons

1. It would require pluggable namespaces which on a regular computer cause major performance issues

2. I beleive that Opera 9.7 already does that to some degree

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Doesnt work on my HD2 with Artemis 21.5 ROM...

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Sounds like .netcompactframework3.5 is not installed. I wrote some of it in c++, not all of it

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

very nice!!

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

hey just seen this on xda, Marc mine works but it doesn't it just connection fails at every thing i throw at it mate, wifi or 3g full signal, it opens fine but .....

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Yes, it is, this version: .NET Compact Framework 3.5 ( build 9198 )

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Mate, this is BRILLIANT!! I was just thinking how colossal an oversight it is on HTC's behalf to have neglected this... my hero!

Feedback:
Just downloaded it via my stock Opera 9.7, installed it, went to YouTube.com, opened the first video link I found...and VOILA!! My stock HTC YouTube player launched, played the video, and automatically closed itself. FLAWLESS, really...just like the doctor prescribed!!

T-mobile HD2 LEO on stock T-mobile ROM 2.10

Cheers

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

CHECK YOUR REGISTRY AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A REGISTRY FOLDER CALLED "VND.YOUTUBE" IN YOUR HKCR ROOT FOLDER.

Thats not a folder that I've added, its a folder that should already be there. And can you post a pic of the error message. I'm not sure which thread you posted it on before. Thats why I want to centralize things

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Yes, this reg key is in HKCR... In post 15 is my screenshot

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I just googled the error, and it happens when DLL's from dotnetcompact framework are missing. Which I find strange, my only guess is that there is something wrong with the framework install in your rom.


On the flip side I am working on making this completely c++ so that there is no need for .netframework at all

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

getting the same error on stock latest ROM. just uninstalled/reinstalled netCF3.5 & the problem still persists

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Cannot reinstall, it says the newer version is already installed... I cannot find latest version, anyway thank you for your help

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Does not work on stock HD2 TMOUS 2.13 ROM. Installed and then did a soft reset. I then tried both clicking a link from digg.com/videos (just opens youtube.com in Opera) and sending a link to myself from my gmail account (this opened the youtube app, but gave me "Connection Failed" error)

Good idea though... I hope you can get these issues fixed.

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I was able to replicate the second issue, and as soon as I get home I'll issue a Version 2. Hopefully I can get the full c++ version working. Strangely enough so far when it compiles it is 3 times the size of the .netframework version.

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

Excellent effort mate.

HTC HD2
Energy ROM Jun 11 Release

EDIT: I have both Opera 10 and Opera 9.7 installed on my device. Opera 10 is set as the default browser.

The HTC Youtube player doesn't fire up when I'm using Opera 10, but it definitely does come up when I use Opera 9.7! I used Youtube.com to check this. Doesn't work with other websites.

What would be great is if this came with a small config app that could either allow or restrict all youtube related media to be redirected to the HTC Youtube player when opened from the browser.

Instructions Here Works Like A Charm
 

First of all, a big thanks to Marvalme the creator of "The new YouTubeLink App", it reminds me of the old FlashVideoBundle YouTube app, but the new YouTubeLink app is much better than the old FlashVideoBundle app.
This is what works best for me....!

To get best result from the YouTubeLink app, first go to the HTC YouTube app that comes on your HD2, tap on the Settings icon in the upper right corner to the left of the ["X"], next, tap on [Video Playback Quality] and tap on High Quality, exit the HTC YouTube app...

To get the YouTubeLink app working like a charm, always install to the main memory. Make sure you have NetCompactframeWork 3.5 installed on your mobile device. Along with NCF 3.5, you should also install Microsoft's NetCFv35[1].Messages.EN.wm.cab, locate below for download. this software helps it play even better with the PIE and Opera browser.

Another good thing about the new YouTubeLink app , it works with both Pocket Internet Explorer [Old And New Version of PIE] and the Opera Browser works like a charm, if you add Microsoft's NetCFv35[1].Messages.EN.wm.cab.. You can login to your YouTube account at http://m.youtube.com and play your favorite videos that you have already saved....

You can play the YouTube videos by going to http://m.youtube.com via either mobile web browsers [PIE or Opera Only]... To get the videos playing, Tap on the video icon picture or Video title of your choice, next tap "WATCH" and the on board HTC YouTube app video player will auto open connecting to play your video, just awesome...

I have also added PIE Toggle software below, this software give you the options to Toggle between the old and new PIE versions. The PIE Toggle software is a must have on your mobile device anyway, because some mobile websites still will not work [Open] with the new PIE

Version 2
 

Ok guys I think I managed to complete free myself from tne net3.5framework since the whole thing is now completely written in c++

My c++ sucks but I did get it to work and did get some of the bugs out.

Now non-youtube websites do not open up the youtube app and cause an error.

hope fully no one has any more dll issues


File size is much smaller.

Let me know what bugs there are in this one, and I hope you enjoy youtube as much as I do

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

I just posted new version

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

thanks for another cool thing that this phone can do, with the help of the ppcgeekers

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

can this convert embedded videos to links while web browsing?

Re: Fully integrated youtube!!!!!
 

All links that are open outside of the browser will open the youtube app directly. I thought about writing code that will make links inside the browser open youtube but I decided not to for 2 reasons

1. It would require pluggable namespaces which on a regular computer cause major performance issues

2. I beleive that Opera 9.7 already does that to some degree

The new version is working great on HD2. Thanks!!!
