Thank you for the explanation zorc! I actually thought it's the path you paste URL of the vid you're about to DL and didn't check it any further... :o

My second thank is for another update to 1.4 (DAMN YOU'RE FAST!!!) and having the ability of the non full screen display - well done!!! :)

about the possibility of the update straight in the application - well, I didn't know what it takes and it's actually just for lazy ppl like me to find new update (i.e. here) :o :D - it's okay it's not possible :)

Thanx again for your effort zorc, you're the hero! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mihals1:
And one more thing to ask - sorry for being fussy :o

in most cases I get the offer to DL quality 360p mp4, or 720p mp4. As 360p is for HD2 too small, could it be possible to add 640p mp4 aswell? 720p mp4 is not possible to play on HD2 - CorePlayer says it's not supported (see attached screens) and WMP plays only sound with no video :(

Thank you for your thoughts! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hagba:
Great application wissam,thanks keep up the good work and take care.!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] creativcoder:
hey..once again ....thank you for uprading the app...and considering my suggestions......i tell you dat this app can really beat all other video downloaders for winmo....plus the user interface is really good...plus the programming of this app is well organised and good to use......the resume support is a winning point from all other custom downloaders.....

you should spread this app on all other famous sites....and you will se its popularity grow in short time
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] creativcoder:
hey...one thing more zorc in hte future versions....you should add the festure of downloading videos from other video channels ...which will make the app a complete package....for video downloading for windows mobile
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
The list of supported formats for each video is provided by youtube, sorry, I have no control over it.

Thanks, people like you are the reason I made this app :)

Not sure if I will do that, and if I did, it's probably after a long time :)

If I considered adding one more channel, which one you think I should add ?

Tested on omnia i900...

it work ! Great app !!!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maximilliangreat:
Well, amazing job!

Few things:

1)"Normal mode" setting do not saves state between program launches.

2)I found sudden bug in coreplayer - it does not work with long URLs. But it works with url-shorteners, like ur.ly (got this from mVu changelog).

AFAIK there is no alternative to coreplayer in terms of video streaming, so maybe you'll change behavior of "copy URL", to provide shortened URLs?

ur.ly have simple API and it runs on google app engine, so it shouldn't die unexpectedly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
It wasn't supposed to, but I added that anyway to version 1.5

I couldn't add it to the main app, but I wrote a small app, to do the shortening, find it in the attachment of the main post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vyis:
You are awesome! I just encounter wifi disconnect on sleep, coming to report and realized that you have update the app. Thanks for such amazing development speed.

P/s: just a thought regard adding others site, can you make a tutorial thread regard how to fetch such information from site(search, video address and etc...), and adding extension ability to smooth YouTube downloader? Such that user can add in others site to the program themselves?

I've no idea regard the technical difficulty this may involve, but it's interesting if the app itself work as a core framework while user can adding in others site support in the form of 'addon'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maximilliangreat:
Thanks!

Now the only thing needed is to keep program uptodate with youtube changes. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
Thanks :)

About adding other sites, I will try to do a proof of concept on the weekend, and see if it's easy to do, I'm honestly not interested in any other sites, but if someone out there would like to do it, then I won't mind it.

I'll try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] musicus66:
Hello zorc!

Thanks for your nice app!

I want to give you some feedback and have a few suggestions.

(Tested with Eten X800 WM6.1)

1. On my device the cab doesn't install to SDMMC, only to main memory. But when moved back to storagecard it works.

2. The smoothest format is 240p flv. Mp4 is possible, but runs not so fast.

3. 360p flv and 480p flv doesn't run in TCPMP.

4. The long url from 240p flv is playing with TCPMP-Player.

5. When set default format I've added by accident some videos to the download-list, which started immediately downloading.

A. Is it possible to make 240p flv the default format?

B. An Option to sort the results to published and recent?

C. History of the last 10-20 searched words?

D. Option to directly open the url with TCPMP or Core-Player? (command-line?)

E. Option to choose if vids in the download-list should downloaded immediately or later?

Greetings musicus66
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
i keep getting "connection error!" with v1.5 :confused:

*is this something to do with me or something to do with the new v1.5? :rolleyes:

(probably me :p lol)

#im definatly connected to interweb

@zorc

could you give me the download link for v1.4 please, i did have it but i deleted it when v1.5 was released..

cheers dude :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] creativcoder:

whenever i search any video or if i select the video for loading its formats...then if in between the connection is slow then...after dat the program does not react and the wait cursor keeps on rotating ..it doesnt even say that connection is lost or anythin else....also when this happens nothiin will work ...i.e. when this goes on and again i press the search button ...still the wait is dere...keeps rotatin...

u understnd the problem...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] creativcoder:
and ...yes one more thing......u should add one "stop search" button in your app if the connection is lost in between......

and...zorc....can you provide me the source code of the app...ill try to make some changes for you and ill then send the source code to you for testing for the changes....

my email id is - dazzle7819@gmail.com

send to my email id..

thnks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] backlashsid:
shall give a try soon ! :) sounds exiting
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maximilliangreat:
Official tcpmp AFAIK do not support playing from URL.

You probably using modded version. Which one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] musicus66:
I'm using the tcpmp-player from bimbam here in the forum...

When you want to open a file, enter the URL in the top field.

Here's a Mortscript (saved on my ppc as smooth.mscr)

TUBE = ClipText()

Run ("\SDMMC\Programme\TCPMP\player.exe", TUBE)

Because I have a german rom, you need to fix the right pathname to your player.

Somtimes program trows exeption
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
I'm working on v2.0, it's taking some time because it'll include many changes, like ability to allow users to create their own themes and I'm restructuring the project to make it more like a framework which will allow developers to add their own extensions to support sites other than YouTube

Are you able to replicate this exception, if you can... can you tell me how to produce it so I can fix it, because it never happened with me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maximilliangreat:
No, It been few times and I always can't understand after which action it was. It always been main screen though.

Hello my friend,

Thanks a lot and a lot for keeping WM apps developpment ! It's a goot thing !

The UI is nice.

C# programming ?

With a graphical SDK ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
You're welcome, yes C# and the UI is a simple library I've written for WM in C# as well.

You are most welcome, glad you liked it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nathanpc:
Congratulations. Both apps working great and smooth on my TP2 :)

Love the UI; it's refreshing to see unique things that are also very smooth. I would recommend gestures rather than relying entirely on the arrows though.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egymaro:
Just installed it on my jade ( HTC Touch 3G ) win mo 6.5 , and the only problem facing me that the app says Connection error....... while all the other apps have no problems
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
sometimes it's not really a connection error, maybe for some reason it can't write on the file system, or not enough storage space.

other than that, I'm not sure what could be causing the problem.

I'm sorry, I have no idea why you're getting that error, maybe try do a search and see if it's a common problem

If by song, you mean mp3... the application uses youtube-mp3.org for mp3 downloads, so it supports whatever that service supports.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] net2mani:
lite small and great....also interface is awesome man good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Just downloaded this today.

Tested it out. Works great. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
Sorry that it took me this long to reply, but I was very busy working on Version 2.0

In Version 2.0, if you hit search, while another search is in progress (rotating)

Then it will abort the running search and run the new search.

I don't think a Stop search button is needed, you can just do a new search, or if the connection is that bad, it will abort eventually (time limit = 20 seconds if I remember right)

What kind of changes would you like to implement, to discuss this in more details, you can email me wassim.khalil9@gmail.com

May I ask what do you mean by this ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
I really created the CAB using Visual Studio, not sure why it wouldn't install to Storage Card!

Due to the new Changes in Version 2.0, to be able to support multiple sites, Default format is no longer supported.

I'll try my best to take your other suggestions into account in future releases, once everything is 100% stable.

Can you confirm that you still have the same problem with version 2.0 ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
cheers dude!

yeah, ill test v2 and let you know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] musicus66:
Hi Wassim!

I'm not a programmer, but maybe in _setup.xml Line 9

%CE1%\SmoothYouTubeDownloader should be %CE1%\SmoothYTDownloader

and in Line 17, 85, 153, 176, 213

%CE1%\SmoothYTDownloader could be %InstallDir%

In SMOOTH~1.000

%CE1%\SmoothYouTubeDownloader should replaced with %CE1%\SmoothYTDownloader

Maybe as secret switch in the xml not in GUI?

One little thing I've noticed.

When searching a word in youtube, scrolling down the results and then entering a new word, the new resultlist stays on bottom instead of starting again on top.

Thanks for your good work!

musicus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mihals1:
wow, this application is becoming a huge and great app!

well done zorc, you've created the best YT DL APP for WM ever!

Thank you very much for your effort!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
About the CAB file, I'm no expert in this field, I just make visual studio create it using simple basic settings, if anyone would like to extract it and reconstruct it again, I wouldn't mind that.

About the Scrolling of search results, I was aware of that, didn't think it's a big deal, but any way just fixed it.

I just re-uploaded version 2.0 because some people were having problems with saving settings in registry, now settings are saved to an XML file in the same directory as the EXE file in

"Program Files\SmoothYTDownloader\SYTDSettings.xml"

So download the app again, from the same link and install it.

When you run it, you'll need to set the settings again, once you do you'll find the xml file created.

You can add this entry to set Default format, which if exists, the video will be downloaded immediately, if not, then you'll see the list of available formats:

<DefaultFormat>360p MP4</DefaultFormat>

Note: Text between tags must be exactly the text displayed in the list of formats, case sensitive.

Thanks, people like you are the reason I'm going on with the project.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] unL33T:
Thanks for the awesome app.

Only suggestions I can make are:

- Find a way to specify VEVO music videos so you're getting the best quality, official music videos when you're after them (adding "VEVO" to the search string doesn't seem to accomplish that).

- Team up with the guys from icefilms.info so you can search and download TV shows. Far fetched request but would be way cool.

Even without those, it seems to work awesome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
@zorc

i can extract it and reconstruct the .cab again, ill sort it for ya later dude :)

(ill send you a dl link in pm)

ps, just installed v2 and still having connection error :confused:

(happens on previous versions of SYTD too - btw that have worked in the past, so im guessing it is something to do with my connection, not app related.)

i like the new settings menu, also the option for custom themes, very good job dude :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maximilliangreat:
Program writes in registry at HKCU\SmoothYTDownloader, but good practice is to write HKCU\Software\SmoothYTDownloader
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
Aha, thanks for the note, I actually changed the App, now settings are saved to an XML file, to make it easier to access by users, and edit some invisible values.

Like "DefaultFormat"

The only problem with that, is the application now supports different sites, not only youtube, and anyone can write an extension.

That forces a limitation, for example a customization like this (which is youtube specific) is not possible anymore, and also the reason I removed "Default Download Format" from settings.

But usually VEVO has the top results for a song, and you can easily tell from the thumbnails if it's an official video or not.

That's going to require a lot of work, because they use MegaUpload and other file hosting services which I've never worked with before, and I honestly don't have the time.

But again, anyone who'd like to, can write an extension to support Searching/Downloading from it, I've written a post to explain how to do it here:

How To: Create Extensions for Smooth YouTube Downloader

Thanks mate.

About the connection error problem, I never encountered that, if you can't get it fixed, I can send you a build with no exception handling, so it will throw the error on the screen with more details! and we'll try to sort it out from there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
could you private message me a link to the other build with no exception handling please :)

its wierd because build 1.3 worked but now it dont, no build works now :confused:

*sure it is my connection
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
Just to let you know guys.

Now in V2.1 you can make any format default format.

And you can also specify an application to open the URL with (CorePlayer, TCPMP) directly from the "Format/Qaulity selection screen" (see screenshot in main post)

Also it supports shortening the URL before passing it to the application or before copying the URL, in case you decide to use CorePlayer which requires shortening.

For more information, read the main post.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] musicus66:
Just a short feedback and thanks for your fast fixes.

It works really great now.

Nearly all things run fine now.

CurrentTV plays with FLV V6 Codec (needs TCPMP or MPlayer) and

the links doesn't work on all results but that's not so important for me.

If you have some time left, a search in youtube sorted by published date

and a foldable list of words in the inputfield (or something else) would be nice.

Greetz and all good wishes to you

musicus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
I didn't really pay much attention to the details of Current TV, it was just a proof of concept, that anyone can develop and extension for the app, and the source code is available for all.

About sorting search results, I talked about this before, YouTube specific features are not possible after supporting extensions.

But I will look into it , and think of a design to make it possible in the future.

About search input, it's too much work, considering the limitations of windows mobile UI, and having to support different screen sizes.

And I honestly, don't think it's worth all the trouble.

I appreciate the feedback, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] musicus66:
Sorry, I won't nerving you.

Just some ideas...

The easiest way would be writing a second youtube.dll with a different url.

In another stream app (not for pda) i read, that the api uses for example &time=this_month or if you have a better url solution...

What about a xml-file with favorite items, because most people take the same words on different pages.

Is it possible to change the input field into a combo-list-box?

Just my two cents...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] swordel:
Okay so I'm using a Samsung i8000 Omnia 2 with WinMo 6.5 and when I exit from the app without using the exit button (like pressing the main menu button) and come back later, I encounter a crash every time I try to go to downloads or try to search (settings page works). And it has crashed a LOT of times:( :mad:. I can only get it to work again by restarting my phone but that does not fix the crashing problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mounir-a:
thanks for the app

thank you for the application, it's a very nice one when it's work. I have tried all the versions so far, but still have a connection error problem, with you tube items. this doesn't happen with the current tv, while it's never connected with dailymotion. My mobile is HTC HD2 with the originsl rom, how to solve this? and has it got to do with the registry. knowing that I tried wifi and 3g connections.

thanks in advance. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
@mounir-a

duno why it happens..

i thought it was because i was using the 3g network and not wifi.. but you have the same problem when using both the 3g or wifi :confused:

to save zorc the time an effort explaining, there is no fix for this yet dude, (i thought i was the only person with this problem and im now glad im not in the boat on my own so to speak :p) but i am sure zorc will figure this problem out, just a matter of time so please be patient like me, good things come to those that wait ;)

@ raving-naza

thanks for the replay, i'll be patient, yet I know spong bob doesn't wait to be downloaded :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
@mounir-a

i can link you to a differant version of SYTD (2.1) that zorc asked me to try.. its modified to show error messages which tells the dev whats going wrong.. cba going into detail but it wouldnt show the error messages for me and my blackstone.

(we guessed that it was something to do with my ISP because i was using 3g, obviously not because of your previous post)

but with your rom being an original rom it should show the error message..

ill link you to it via private message if you want?

but if you do get the error message, dont post it here, take a screenshot of the error message and private message it to zorc..

that way we dont troll his thread with "connection error" :p:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
Thanks for taking the time to reply for me, I have been quite busy lately.

As Raving Nanza suggested, can you private message me the error you get when you use the special version of the application

For both of you, can you try this quick test for me, if you can actually get to the formats screen, can you copy the URL and paste it in a browser and tell me what happens.

I appreciate your suggestions, will try to include them in next releases but without using a new DLL, I'll just extend the API to support custom search constructed by the UI which is in turn constructed using an XML file.

But about history of searched items, that's not a high priority at the moment.

No, the sizes are provided by youtube, you can check here to see the resolution of each video according to the quality you download:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube

That's strange, never happened to me or any other complained about it, can you send me the message you see when the app crashes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
@zorc

np dude,

ill link him to the special version in a sec, i just wana show you something first..

usually pictures say a thousand words, but these new screenshots say WTF!? lol

previously it said connection error anytime i tried to use the search.. but now everything works as it should :confused:

*im now out of the boat :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
hahaha, I have no idea what's going on with you, your device, your connection... and I don't really care, I'm just glad it's working for you now, and I hope it stays like this !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mounir-a:
thanks

thanks guys for the replay, I tried the test, and it didn't work till now :confused:, I'll give it another try. if you can send me the link, it would be great dude :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
@mounir-a

you need to sort out your UserCP settings because you have private messaging turned off.

the link for the special version with error messages is here.. (v2.0 - i thought it was v2.1, my mistake)

@zorc

i have no idea too and im not bothered why either lol

really glad its working properly now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] swordel:
Okay so i checked the crash details and it said SmoothYoutubeDownloader.exe OutOfMemoryException and a long string of code. Does this have something to do with the Storage memory or the RAM memory? Thanks for the great app anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
take a screenshot dude

(use vsnap or shake&save)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zorc:
Seems like your device is low on ram, maybe try to restart it, don't run browsers while running the app, browsers take heaps of ram, and also the longer the application is running, the more searches you do, the downloads in progress, the more ram it will consume, so if you reach that point, maybe try to restart the app, and have a clean slate again.

Also taking a screenshot of the crash details as "raving nanza" suggested, might give me a clue if it's another problem.
