Now added. Please check

1. Typo

2. I also wanted colour presets but for now you can make the theme you want and save then and load which ever you like from theme section

3. I noticed this to but it would revert to portrait after closing. I think this option should be removed since pop-up is meant not to be fullscreen

4. Will flag this up with main dev

5. ok

6. is it better in the new update?

7. ok

8. How does youtube work?

Sorry for late reply

It is :) see update

Google might not like this as its directly copying them but we'll see if we can do something but dont quote me on that

Thanks you're right about that, Im sure this wasnt the case in one of the older builds

It wasnt you're right but it was in a very early version but I had it removed bit now its back lol and personally I dont like it.

The nav bar disappearing, belive it or not is giving us some trouble but we'll try to fix it

yes it shoudnt sleep

dont press centre play icon but side of thumbnail

No, too much clutter
[Android Apps and Games] arcrox:
Thank you for the update! Some suggestions/bugs:

1) Is it possible to make the watch history synchronize with the account?

2) The video description box appears white on my dark theme. Can you add it as a color option?

3) The title bar text is always black, which makes it invisible if you are using a black title bar. Can you add it as a color option?

4) The sliding controls for volume, brightness, and seek are awkward. It seems too sensitive and once you start sliding one way, you cannot change directions without lifting and retouching. For example, if i slide down to decrease volume, and mid-way I start sliding back up, it will keep decreasing volume.

5) Pop-up video still has issues when launching even with hardware acceleration enabled. Sometimes it will hang trying to load the video. Additionally, when clicking in the pop-up to go back into the app, I get an FC or it will seek to a extremely high, non-existent time in the video like 549:04:15

I am on 4.3 Touchwiz, GS4 i545

Thanks for reading. This is a great app and after a few more of these bugs are ironed out I will buy the premium version.

Been having fun with the new update, but any chance we could get an option to disable the new volume percentage and thumbnail listview animations (selecting 'None' for the Thumbnail Animations setting doesn't seem to do anything on my Nexus 5)? The thumbnail scroll animations aren't a big deal, really, but I'm unfortunately finding the new volume toast animation rather distracting, as I often adjust my levels while watching videos.

Thanks all the same, though, for your amazing work.

Hello [MENTION=1983726]ermacwins[/MENTION]

Popup not working with youtu.be links.
[Android Apps and Games] txx3:
yeah 100% agree ...if lags could be fixed and speed gets better plus if you using the player in floting mode it sometimes not moving around with my finger, it not respond quick enough you have to touch it again and drag it again which really damage the whole experience.

i love the whole idea i am really looking forward to this ...big fan :D
[Android Apps and Games] elevul:
Ok, why does this player only have hardcoded aspect ratios and "fit to screen"? Where is "Original video aspect ratio"?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Ah islamic videos on first launch. Guess Android apps aren't safe from religious propaganda. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
OP updated with apk

Somewaht rushed but if anyone wants to make one, go ahead, if its good we can use it

This should be already working. Touch the 1 or 2 times until the navigation bar disappears. Finding it hard to make it behave the same as the official YouTube app

That would be the 16:9 ratio just as the official YouTube app
[Android Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
Ok. I've tried that, but it still isn't working. When the video starts playing, I tap the screen to bring up the progress bar. When I tap the screen, the navigation bar pops up too, which covers the progress bar. I can only get the navigation bar to disappear when the progress bar goes away.

My current work around is to rotate the screen to portrait in order to jump to a certain place in the video.
[Android Apps and Games] bengadget:
Videos, particularly ones filmed in portrait with smartphones, are still stretched to fit the playing area, even with 16:9.
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
Big fan and spreading the word

Agree performance but its still relatively new, so let's move this along and replace the main app, lol

Note to mention are you going to include caching of videos similar to what the official app has.

Never mind I found it.

Either I'm finding a lot of spelling errors or mistranslated words.
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
Wow I'm really impressed!

This is an really good and better alternative to the original YouTube app.

I'm really looking forward for updates and I will soon buy the add free version of the app to support your work =).

And of course I will recommend your app to my friends and family too.

I've found some bugs/not working things on my note 2 and I try to list them all.

1.I can't select the push the channel icon (from the video discription) to access a YouTubers channel page.

2.I could access the YouTube page from the sidebar but I couldn't start a playlist...

It never ends to load and it doesn't work for me.

3.I love the detailed options to change the colors of the whole app but I'm missing settings like "text color" for the comments and more.

It would be great if you could add more options or/and it would be awesome to have a nightmode.

4.For some videos I have encountered a weird bug. After starting a specific video the video is doubled like I would watch it on a 3D TV.

Changing the resolution of the video to a lower/higher one the video runs normal.

5.The UI of the video player response a little bit slow and sluggish.

6.Sometimes the Video player selects an different resolution than I normally would watch like 360p (normally the resolution is on 480p/720p)

So that are all things I wanted to mention thank you again for reading and best regards from Germany!

Update:

Here I could take a screenshot of the mentioned problem no. 4.
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
So how does the offical Youtube app behave then? Is the progress bar set higher?
[Android Apps and Games] Mattix724:
Checking this out!
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
its not supported on tablets yet?

i think this is where the app will really shine since there is so much space on a tablet

i dont know, i tried searching on Google Play and found no results;

Samsung Tab 10.1 (2)

EDIT:

scratch what I said

As soon as I replied, I decided to use my tablet to open Tapatalk, open this thread, click the first post link to the play store

discovered its called

"Youtube Floating HD Player" rather than "Showtime", which is what I was using to search @ Play Store
[Android Apps and Games] abo_mara7:
I was looking for this app since long time, and finally found it!! Thank you very much.

Just a note, when playing a video, I find difficulties gettting the progress bar to appear, some times I tap multiple times to get it.

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

P.S. Feel free to remove click the center of the thumbnail to play in popup mode feature. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I can confirm that videos stop playing when the screen times out, unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] D-m-x:
Can confirm that too. Thats kind of a huge bug, because you cannot leave your Phone/Tablet playing without touching it every few secondes.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Exactly!
[Android Apps and Games] dems86:
Update from today gives me instant FC everytime I open it. Sent feedback when it asked.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Fortunately, today's update has fixed the screen timeout issue and has not FC'd for me.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
I concur, today's update crashes instantly when running, tried on two different phones (one cheap huawei phone, other is nexus 5)
[Android Apps and Games] dems86:
Boo I say, BOO!!!
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
Exactly. Even when video is paused vertical sliding controls works the same - over sensitive and with high inertia - so there must be something really wrong with the programming code behind it :(

What is interesting that horizontal seek control works much better than vertical brightness or volume controls.

What I said before is still valid:

Google's YouTube doesn't have these gimmick controls for brightness or volume just because we have standard volume buttons for the volume control and there is usually no need to mess with brightness all the time, just set it and forget. For example on my Samsung phone I can adjust brightness by sliding finger over status bar in every app (even in full screen apps when I pull-down the status bar a little bit).

I would like to have in Viral existing horizontal seek control and vertical slide control for switching between in-app video and pop-up video just like in Google's YouTube :)

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Just test it for yourself with some playlist, it is better than thousand words :)

But as I said I don't like that Viral immediately starts to play the first video from selected playlist and that the scrolling area for the rest of playlist is limited. I don't get why Viral start to play the first video automatically, what about when I want to play let say 48th video from the playlist? In Google YouTube it is implemented in better way, it works just opposite way: it doesn't start to play the first video so the scrolling area for whole playlist is not limited in any way. I can select video from which I need to start. But as I said, test it for yourself to see how it works in Google YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
Can someone please help me?

The newest update crashes instantly when I try to open the app. Tried a clean install but it still crashes...
[Android Apps and Games] dems86:
You aren't the only one, probably going to have to wait for an update.
[Android Apps and Games] jacknicholson:
This has obviously already been reported, but here's the logcat of the FC on my Nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Here's something strange. After the last update, when I open Google Now -> Settings -> Phone Search, Viral Lite is listed 7 times.
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
I can confirm it on SGNII stock ROM 4.1.2.
[Android Apps and Games] D-m-x:
Hm, i think its not that huge of a problem, because if you upgrade your Android Version to 4.4.2 that Feature will be gone anyways. Google has remove it in AOSP due to Performance Problems

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...ox/+/ecf356c15143ab0583c64682de16d94a57f7dd1c
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
But I think that in the mean time this could be corrected because it will take a few years before the 4.4.2 will be used by the majority of users.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Latest update (yesterday evening) fixed the instant crash :)

Thanks

One of the comments
[Android Apps and Games] jacknicholson:
Of course, I still remember when a new app called 'Showtime' popped up 'round these parts, and I thought, 'This is exactly how it should be!'

Not that I've done the research, but I'd dare say every other time YouTube comes up on these forums (eg. users requesting Green YouTube in the Xposed modules thread), somebody recommends Viral. I know each time I end up in the stock YouTube app, like when following links in the Play Store, I inevitably end up swiping to adjust the volume or position, until I remember gestures are a Viral thing. It's strange and troubling to use anything else, especially when it comes to what we're supposed to. I think most xda members are like me. We've got our go-to list of apps that have long replaced whatever's shipped with our phones, and you can classify Viral under that category of 'How is everyone not using this?!'
[Android Apps and Games] cjfrias:
thx for share bro!... :good:
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
The app looks great but there are a few annoyances:

1) PLEASE change the app icon, the icon is horrible, please please make a nice icon!

2) PLEASE add transparent status bar and nav bar for KitKat devices, also allow the navbar to hide when viewing videos inside the app, idk why but the navbar shoes there and doesn't let the video be fullscreen.

3) I've experienced some bugs in the floating window not playing the video.
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
1. We'll eventually find one lol. The lead dev always chnages it for some reason

2. I dont think it will look good with transparency. Some bugs will be fixed and immersive mode in lanscape should be working in next update when ready

3. Can you replicate it?
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
1. Good hehe

2. At least the nav bar so I can get to see more content on the video list, the more u see the better, I think any app that has a scrollable list should use transparent navbar so the user gets to see more.

3. Yes, if I open the pop up video, go back to full screen, then go back to pop up, it'll stop playing and get stuck there, also resizing is very buggy, it will not resize a lot of times , the resize icon moves like it's supposed to when the window is resizing but the popup windows stays the same size.
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
that image shows a bug that shoes a eeid huge white bar on the tablet , also translucent bars would look sick hehe
[Android Apps and Games] D-m-x:
I think the Bar is caused by your Ad Blocker. I assume this is where an Ad is placed.
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
We'll, no problem's here =).

I would wish that more resolutions for video playback (1080p, 480p) and that the video player is more responsive and better than the current one.

But overall I'm satisfied with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I like the darker blue icon that came with today's update.

Viral is now almost perfect for me. If possible, try to fix the gesture for changing the volume so that if you change direction, the volume won't keep going in the original direction. Same with brightness. It is good that the option to disable gestures has been added.
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
Did youtube change the UI of playlists in the new update?
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
This happens all the time when I open the app. Here's some more screenshot of me being logged in also but nothing being shown.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I got the new update today and I'm glad the option to enable/disable popup play when tapping the center of video has been added. The more options we have, the better!

Although new animations have been added to the gestures, they are still very buggy. You still can't change direction midstream very well. They used to work very well a few versions back when other stuff like background play was broken. Is it possible to have it all? :)
[Android Apps and Games] notreally:
I love this app!

could you possible implement DIAL support for Roku? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIscovery_And_Launch

the official youtube app support this. you get the cast icon to the roku in the official youtube app and it works exactly as the chromecast.... no matter what app is open in the roku, it'll override and open up the vid in the roku.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Agreed! Streaming to my Roku is the only thing I use the official YouTube app for thanks to Viral. I would love to officially retire the official YouTube app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
Whats the exact problem? Nothing shows when you open the app? Have yor tried the latest update?

What do you mean exactly?
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
Yes latest update. Nothing shows no video at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
If you didn't do this than try to wipe chache/data and reinstall the app.

Try to think of apps which could caused this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] jacknicholson:
I had experienced this a couple of times myself, until I realized it'd only happen whenever my network was currently disconnected (eg. after opening Viral too quickly after a deep sleep, before my wifi would have time to reconnect). Restarting Viral would get things back to normal.

If you've set your wifi to disconnect during sleep, and don't always have data enabled, this might be the cause for you too.
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
That was the cause thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] fox708:

It is a pity that this new option just disable all gestures, so we haven't at least separated independent options for control over vertical and horizontal gestures.

I voted for something different, see bolded text:
[Android Apps and Games] jacknicholson:

The last update broke my screen off music controls. Viral is intercepting the next and previous media buttons meant for Google Play Music even with Viral not running. Please add an option to disable this.

Other videos like Freeman's Mind work fine however. Also other apps can play the videos, so this seems related to Viral. What gives?

Feature request: Can you implement an option to open videos automatically in full screen? I mean that's what I wanna do when I watch a video! I read comments later if even.
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
You mean when opening a Youtube link with viral?
[Android Apps and Games] TheGoD:
No, also when you open a video from within the app. It's the standard screen which you also see the video description, the comments and similar content.

I just normally watch the video first and do other stuff later or not at all.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Are you saying when you tap on a video thumbnail, you want the video to automatically play fullscreen? If so, I agree that would be a nice option to add.
[Android Apps and Games] TheGoD:
Exactly! :)
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
In Viral, I have Settings -> Orientation -> Use sensor selected which forces the video to play full-screen when I turn my phone landscape. This option helps.

[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
I'm not sure why they are not playing for you because I just played all of those links successfully with Viral on my phone (Galaxy S3).
[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
The music videos doesn't work (eternal loop) because you're probably living somewhere where you can't watch it or it's not working on mobile devices (I can't watch the videos because I'm living in germany and most music videos doesn't work here).

Try to find and open the videos with the original YouTube app.

I don't think that the problem is app related.
[Android Apps and Games] shiren3200:

[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:

[Android Apps and Games] Pman:
Been getting a few errors lately and also some suggestions to add if possible:

1. When making a comment, it comes up as "Your Comment" instead of my nickname. Once logged onto desktop youtube, it corrects itself.

2. Swiping a video from "Watch Later" to remove it causes a few issues:

Other videos in list disappear when scrolling up/down

All vidoes disappear entirely

Empty gap is left where I swiped video and scroll up/down causes other vids to re-order/shuffle

All above problems are sorted once I go out of "Water Later" and back again

3. Thumbnail for the top video (latest vid) for subscriptions, or top video for watch later disappears when scrolling down then up again (phone only).

4. Watch history doesn't seem syncd. Also the history is independent per device (phone different to tab different to pc) - posted by arcrox.

5. Changing volume/brightness is super sensitive - also posted by arcrox

6. Thumbnail for "Watch Offline" is stretched out and fills the width of both devices.

7. Settings button (add to watch later, water offline etc) per vid is too small to tap, 80% of the time I end up hitting the video itself to play it. Maybe increase size of area to press or maybe press/hold onto vid to access settings.

I've attached some screenshots of the above, sorry for the darkness/red tint (use Twilight to dim brightness for night use).

Apologies if any of the above have been posted before, tried looking through and wasn't entirely sure for all of them.

Last thing, all errors above occur for both phone and tablet unless stated.
