Development Info

Possible future functionality:

Youtube: comments, annotations( I suspect that this can be done), description etc.

"Save video to sdcard";

RTMP video sources would be nice...(I'm not sure I can do this but will be thinking about ways)

Changes in 0.3a:

11/7/2012 Video transitions much shorter! DONE!

The process for video selection is rather long so I'm having the next video selected while the current video is playing. This cuts down on time between video's in most cases!

11/4/2012 Incorporation of YouTube related video's DONE!

Related video's on a random metric!

11/2/2012 Youtube video quality option. DONE!

This one took a little while. Had do deal with what was available on a case by case basis. Bonus: Revision3 video's obey the quality setting!

11/2/2012 Preserve last video and position for resuming. DONE!

This turned out to be pretty simple too. Just had to store some state info in the db.

This was much easier than I thought it would be!

11/2/2012 Provide "In App" button for settings. DONE!

This was much easier than I thought it would be!

10/25/2012 9 patched the background image for feed items. DONE!

I was hoping that 9 patching the background image would give me a more consistent look across multiple devices in the feed manager. It helped but not nearly as much as I would have hoped.

Changes in 0.2a:

10/16/2012 Stop Moxee from playing while the screen is off. DONE!

There was an issue where if you turned the screen off when Moxee was in a transitional phase, threads that were started before the screen was turned off would cause the app to continue to play videos. Terminating these threads have resolved the issue!

10/15/2012 Toggle fullscreen to access notifications. DONE!

This turned out to be a simple matter of adding and clearing window flags. Now when ever you see the onscreen display, you will have access to the notification bar!

10/15/2012 Worked out a few minor issues.

There was an issue were sources were not seen until they had been updated by the back-end.

Added thumbnails for sources in the feed manager.

There was an issue where if YouTube did not have a "medium" quality mp4 for any particular video it would error off.

Resolved a threading issue where if next was pressed at a particular time, there would be a discontinuity between the titlebar and the actual video playing.

Resolved a threading issue where the titlebar said it was "Loading when in fact it was playing a video.

10/13/2012 Making setting available to those without physical menu button. DONE!

According to the information provided here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11702831/android-best-way-to-let-user-access-preference-activity) putting a menu option called "Settings" in the menu will cause ICS and above to show the 3 dot soft settings button. We shall see!

Well as it turns out that if you lower your build target(ei gingerbread), ICS (and above) will auto detect and put soft settings button in the action bar. However, lowering the build target caused problems with the latest Google ads jar so I had to revert to a lower version of that, but It's all working now!! I just need to make sure that the ads are really working.
