Finally A Youtube Player That Really Works
 

Hey gang I found this great YOUTUBE player that works great. Hope that it's useful. Let me know.

This is YouTube search/player application. Bit like the latest CorePlayer.

It allows you to search for videos in a nice friendly Windows Mobile app and then plays the full FLV video (not miniscule MPEG4 versions) with its own player.

The app is written in a mixture of .net and C so you need the .net runtime, v2.

The video player overlay is hacked out of TCPMP and the FLV part is based on FFMPEG.

youtubeplay last updated 16/4/08, changes:

* New black look
* Removed buttons, added toolbar
* VGA portrait support (only testing in emulator)
* Click on video for fullscreen
* Backlight keepalive


Things planned: Support for all YouTube feeds, logons. Saving/loading FLV to/from file

Things not planned: Other video sites

Known issues: Sometime crashes downloading thumbnails (rarely), landscape mode not right

Everybody should note that this application will eat bandwidth, no consideration has been made for data consumed, so Wifi/ActiveSync or unlimited 3g only, be prepared for a big data bill otherwise. Won't work well on GPRS anyway as FLV vids are quite sizeable.
