Hi guys, I think I've delayed the announcment quite a bit but here is a new app we have been working on for a while.

Showtime is an innovative video player that has many features and you can search videos from YouTube. With the Pop-up player, you can play a video and use any other android app for those of you who like to multi-task. You can also play with fullscreen or minimise the playing video to the notification tray. If your device is powerful enough, you can open multiple Pop-up windows. This app has the following features to give you the best seamless and intuitive experience.

Resizable Pop-up player which can also play local videos from your video gallery

Minimise and play in the background

Change video resolutions from 144p up to 1080p

Tab sliding interface for easy navigation

Connect to your YouTube account (Access to Watch Later, My Uploads, Playlists…)

Ad free [Paid]

If you have any problems with the app, please do not leave a low feedback, contact us and we will try to respond to you shortly.

Donations are ALWAYS appreciated and can help app development and support

This is YouTube 5.0 with some modifications from the looks of it...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Erm this was out WAY before YouTube v5
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
The design partially looks the same. O.o

YouTube 5.0 is released has an APK at the moment so anyone can get there hands on it.

EDIT: After having a look it is a redesign based on 5.0 in an update.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
NO. Our app was out way before, the latest update we did you can see on Play Store was dated on the 12th. Your insinuation would mean we had the apk for a good few weeks to copy it. Look at the number of installs. The main similarity is the navigation drawer and that code is freely available for anyone to use.

See attachment for one of the concept designs
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
Mmmm, interesting...

So how did the latest version of YouTube end up with a partial design flow? O.o
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
What partial design flow?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
You know, the side bar and all that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
I already told you: The main similarity is the navigation drawer and that code is freely available for anyone to use.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
Ok, still interesting that it kind of looks like it...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Lol your not gonna give up are you? Here is an older build before we switched to official navigation drawer and changed the ui
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
I know, I mean that it looks kind of like the new YouTube app which is pretty interesting since you came up with the design.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fernandezhjr:
You mean the same "side bar" design that so many app developers are going to, even the Tapatalk app I am using now? Didn't FB recently do this? And ES File Explorer? I do find the close color scheme interesting, but being that it is You Tube, the red would seem an obvious choice.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
I don't think you get what I am saying...

I have seen many apps like this but this one has a slight touch.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] grubbster:
Sounds like you are trying to accuse someone of ripping off someone. Whey don't you just come out and say it rather than beat around the bush? :confused: If you got evidence let's see it. Otherwise move along.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
I am not accusing anyone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] grubbster:
Then I am sorry but I am confused. What are you trying to get at with all these leading statements?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stroid01:
why is a default Category labeled islamic and if you cancel the selection you get flooded with islamic news....no issues with religion i just dont see the need for that to be forced on someone. Uninstalling until that is resolved...or forever
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] drawkcaB:
FK logic.:silly:

Looks like a neat app bro. I think YT 5 copied YOU:good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
I just wanted to know if this was copyed or anything like that but I already got the answer like ages ago from now.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Yeah, pretty funny that Google did that. :p
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
No one is forcing you with anything.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stroid01:
you are correct that is why i unistalled the app, my point is if you want to push your religious belief so be it and your right to do so, but you should at-least state it in the thread, as it has absolutely nothing to do with a video player. I wanted to try your app for the video features not to be educated about religion.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hol17:
Just go into the preferences, go to Video Category and select "Trending" or another category as the default.

Or select a category instead of hitting cancel.

If you hit cancel, it just defaults to the Islamic category since it is the first in the list.

I don't see anything being forced. You are in control of the default category that loads up when the application is started. It would only be forcing if you couldn't change the default category.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Its perfectly self explanatory on app launch. Again we are not pushing our beliefs, its just a category like all other categories.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] paulpoco:
That is the new standard layout for Android 4.3+. The Dev didn't copy anyone, he just followed guidelines.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
Ok, that is all I need to know.

You don't need to say that I am accusing someone for copying because I stopped like posts ago in the first page.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stroid01:
My point was it should be stated, when google releases a video app a default category isnt christian or hindu or islamic, it just simply not there and people can choose what they want. It is your app I wish you success with it, my personal opinion is that it should be stated. Good Luck
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hp420:
I thought for a second it was this showtime media player:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] illuzi0n:
Awesome app loving the floating hd player. Only issue is the price for pro version is pretty steep, hoping for a sale ... until then the free version with removed ads is working well for me
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ranadroid:
Wow really great app this is how youtube app really should have been. I love how you can watch video and use other apps at the same time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dlsetz:
hey great app

but it looks like in the attachement when i put it to fullscreen. How can i get rid of all the bars. i want all of the video in the right aspect ratio. if i put it to 16:9 on a 16:10 display it doesnt shows everything from the picture. because there are all these bars around it.

looking forward to a solution!

bye
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
You mean navigation bar? Tap the screen until it disappears.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dlsetz:
No i mean the red bar and the buttons in the bottom and the navigation bar. Tapping the screen does not work. What works though is putting it in in vertikal mode and then back to Landscape mode. But starting the Video in landscape mode and then try to watch in fullscreen dos not work. At least for me...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
What device you using?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dlsetz:
A Toshiba excite Pro.

I can reproduce it: put your device in landscape mode. Search a Video. Start the Video and try watching it in fullscreen.

Edit: It works in my HTC one GE. So nevermind it is a device Problem somehow
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] italia0101:
Nice app ! i made a review :)

I cant reproduce it but good to know you got it working
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] electricsheepdreamer:
Hi there,

Just wanted to say thanks for this nice, feature rich app and while I'm here wanted to report a major issue.

There's a typo saying 'caching comleted'.

Cheers.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Thanks, its currently being used as to show the app on the playstore

Thanks, typos are on the list of fixes
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] moldovanos:
This app is freaking amazing, I always wanted video multitasking on my Nexus since Samsung came out with it
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Next build hoping to fix some lag issues. No eta
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Anyone good icon designers out there? App needs a better icon, and now that youtube has changed their icon which looks somewhat similar, they might think we copied them
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] spongychicken:
Great app man, I've always wanted pop-up youtube player. There' is a little bug though where the videos play as 3D/split screen by default.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Can you post a screenshot?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] spongychicken:
Got some screens. Hope you get something of it and clarify the problem.

I really appreciate the effort you've given towards this project, this is the way YouTube should be and your app is like a slap to their developers. You went two steps ahead buddy! Here's a way of saying thank you. I made you an icon from scratch, doesn't matter if you use it or not. (In the icon, the multiple pop-up represents the unique feature your app has)

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Thanks but dont want a play button icon, also considering a name change again...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Thinking of changing the app name to Viral. What do you lot think?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] saobang3886:
I think Youtube Showtime is better, but if you like that :D

BTW, if your app can play any video on the phone with popup like video on youtube, it will be great :victory:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
What do you think of this for Play Store icon?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jessesam:
I hope u can add more feature like the protube 2.0 app for ios.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Lets try to smooth it out kill bugs first
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jessesam:
Couple of bugs !!

1) I tried to stream live the samsung galaxy note 3 announcement today and it never loaded up after numerous attempts.

2) I cld never get to load up video when my friends share YouTube links on my Facebook app even though the default program to open YouTube is set to showtime.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
1. Live stream not supported

2. Lead dev says it works fine for him. Can other users here please confirm beucause I dont use facebook
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] n70shan:
Hello/Salam,,

First i want to congratulate and say thanks to this amazaing App Developer(s). It way better then official Youtube App and Samsung stock pop up player app but it needs some improvements . i will discuss here about problems in my phone Sony xperia T which will help developers to make it even better..while playing video in my xperia T on Stock JB 4.1.2 Rom

1. While using pop up player other Phone slow down like scrolling to apps or different home screen has lags..

2. It only play 480p 720p 1080p videos if i choose fit to screen options in both video player and pop up video player. 360p video could be played in other modes as well

3. if i watch video in offline mode means i play video from my internal storage using Show Time player so While watching Videos and then Using pop player in Landscape mode it made my whole phone UI in landscape Mode which make my phone very very slow ....

4. While watching videos from my local storage app in full screen mode using Showtime player , the video aspect is not correct i mean video is not fully covered by screen i can slightly see my Home screen round about 2cm in landscape mode............

i dont think my phone is slow it has dual core krait cpu and i always have 430+ mb of Ram free there must be some problem in app desiging or Api's whatever you people say ... Please Correct these issues anyways thanks again for such a terrific app..
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ayoubij:
Hey man thanks for this piece of art, just some things I noticed.

1. When clicking a YouTube link, it opens with the minimized player, but sometimes it doesn't work properly and it does not play the video and start to flicker.

2. Auto rotation will be turned on, even when playing the video in minimized mode, and I like to keep my phone always locked in portrait mode, but when I use your app, it doesn't lock rotation anymore.

3. In the official YouTube app, when watching a video, and then pressing back, the video automatically goes to minimized mode, for you to search for others in the meantime, in your app, it will just stop the video.

4. If you can add an option to download YouTube videos, so we can watch them from your app offline, that would be a great feature.

Thanks and keep up the great work !
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] noideaforusername:
Hi man, you doing a great work and I use this app more than 2 weeks instead of the official youtube app.

Just one problem I noticed: When I scroll through the videos, there is a noticeable lag.

I am using a S4 if this can help narrowing down the source of the problem.

Thanks in advance man :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Should be faster in upcoming build

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
You are not being forced, thats why there is a category selection on app start or from settings
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] spongychicken:
Dude first of all, loosen up. No one is pushing beliefs onto anyone. That can easily be changed in the categories option.

It's not like his app is secretly injecting Quran into your phone or making you convert to Muslim before you can use the app.

I am not a Muslim myself. If you have faith in your own religion you would not be moved by this that easily.

Amazing app, much better than the original. Can't wait for the update.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] denianto:
great app

Hi,

I bought this app and I like it very much...

In particular it is interesting the offline feature, I can put in cache video and watch them when I have no available connection.

The question is:

Where the videos are stored ? in which folder ? is it possible to have access to this folder?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Sorry no because the lead developer wants to keep this under wraps so google doesnt remove the app
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:

I don't know if its only me, but the app is not usable after the latest update. Any video doesn't seem to play, in-app and also pop-up player. Just shows that it's loading. I'm on HTC Incredible S running 2.3.5. Look into this please.

Works now after the 1.5.1 update. Thanks!

Hello.Congratulations for this great app.Only one thing i cant find or doesnt exist.Seamless playing of our playlists.Select the whole playlist or the songs we want and programm plays them one by one automatically in background or popup windows.Even better if support shuffle tracks.

Is something like this possible?

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] badboy47:
nope but i am reflashing PA rom. hopefully that should fixes the issue.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] blankit:
Would be cool if you can change the color of the app to holo blue
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Seamless play yes, shuffle no because dont intend it to be a music player

Like this?

Οk i am waiting for seamless play :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] spongychicken:
It got working and running flawlessly in the latest v1.5.1 update. Thank you so much & since we're talking about suggestions. A little feature request, bringing the "Like" and "Dislike" button to the drop-down where the rest are is a really good idea.

Example:

Anybody with me on this? Please thumbs up this sheeyt!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] junglebungle:
Fantastic app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] badboy47:
Update: after flashing the new PA Rom (3.99 rc2), the problem is gone :). It installed right away with no errors (insufficient space available)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
You can change the colours of the app to your hearts content in settings > style

No because its already under the info tab

Love this app, just wondering if you've considered adding an optional notification icon for when videos are being played in the background?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] clio94:
Ok i install it but i cant have seamless play in my playlists.Do i have to enable it from somewhere in settings?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] sunirbmag:
Really nice app, thanks! Everything works great except the volume and brightness control. Especially turning them down is really slow. It even gets slower when the volume is below 10%. I need to swipe my finger through the whole screen to change it 1%. I don't know maybe it's a feature but is there any way to change that? I'd like to be able to go from 0 to 100% in one swipe. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Yes that is planned

Currently not in the app but will be added at some point

Yes hope to change this at some point aslo
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:

Seems like Google has changed the way 1080p videos are played/downloaded (splitting audio and video) so for now 720p is the highest resolution until we find a solution
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Azaraith:
You keep saying that, but adding it as category #1 is like a giant banner saying "hey! I, the app developer, am Islamic! You should care about this topic!" There aren't any other categories based on a single topic, the rest are things like "trending" which makes sense. Islam is simply out of place in the list - like "types of cheese" would be. The fact that it's a highly charged topic like religion makes it worse since it comes across as blatant advertising for your beliefs or catering to a specific audience. Just from an organizational standpoint, it doesn't make sense.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] plaktoets:
Why is the app is not compatible with nexus 7 and nexus 10?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
Just select a different category, end of story. Or use alternative apps.

It is compatible
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] plaktoets:
I can't download it from the playstore, says it's incompatible with my device. (nexus 10)

Do you maybe have a link to the apk so I can try?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Azaraith:
That doesn't answer the question, at all, just dodges it again. It makes no sense to have it there and is clearly meant as either catering specifically to Islamic interests or advertising for Islam.

On another note, there's also no way to view videos from a single channel - viewing "subscribed" just gives me a mix of all the videos from everyone I'm subscribed to, I can't look only at one channel at a time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
How does youtube subscribed videos work?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Azaraith:
On the "official" app, the left nav tray slides out and has a header "My Subscriptions" with a list of channels. If you hit one of the channels listed it shows only videos from that channel. At least I think that's what you're asking - I'm no dev, so I'm not sure how any of the backend of it works.

Example (old screenshot, "Channel Feed" has been renamed "My Channels"):
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DirgeExtinction:
Btw, why are you making such a fuss about Islam being a category for this app? If it bothers you that much, just ignore it.
