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

[marcvalme]

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!!!!

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.

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 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!

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

can this convert embedded videos to links while web browsing?

[marcvalme]

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

Possible to do with opera mini? Long shot but I though I would ask. Guess I would be willing to try the slow inside browser version if you put it together.
