[NEW] youtubeplay 108 - YouTube Player - featuring full FLV

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 or v3.5:

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

youtubeplay 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 YouTube logons, video uploads, user favorites and better caching/buffering.

Things not planned: Other video sites.

Known issues: Square mode not quite right. Other character sets (Chinese etc.) don't work apparently. Close button sometimes takes a few pushes.

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.

Um well im not sure if HTCYOUTUBE has it but you have the option to set .FLV extensions to automatically be opened with youtubeplay when you click in an open window. I'm however, not too sure about the whole better and faster thing.

Same here...I thought it was me...I do a weekly cleaning, I thought I erased something. I'm assuming there will be others with the same issue. Hopefully, collectively the issue can/will be resolved. There are reasons such as this, why we must keep this site alive..."Ya dig?!"

If you download this updated version...you eliminate that...unfortunately, there is a new issue that has presented itself.
