Well that's good. All of herg's work will not be in vain, then :rolleyes:.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
what rom were you using cause i can't get it to open and stay open. im using wm6.1 build 20771
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean? There isn't a working version yet. herg is porting it to VGA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
did you not post screen shots in the first post of it on your device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xmckinzie:
wow

that's funny.:D no...hilarious.:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
Why yes, I did - but I also said it doesn't work right. Just wait for herg to finish porting it. Then we'll all have a nice VGA version we can use on our VGA devices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] brol1k:
this is to funny lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
guys lets all play nice...im sure Herg's working hard on this as we speak to get it working for VGA.... Herg any info on this new version of the htc youtbue your working on?? thanx!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wyzmen:
Herg, this may be TOTALLY off base, but doing some research on the new rhodium ROM, it seems it was specifically designed for WM 6.5. Perhaps this is part of the issue w/ not being able to open, or keep the app open?? Maybe try testing on a 6.5 ROM? Ur the pro tho, just a thought... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
thank you, thats what i was trying to get at.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] herg62123:
i am 25% done with resizing pics.

this is time consuming project since the pics need to be resized as well as dll mod.

there is like over (i think) 100 pics to be resized first.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] herg62123:
that is all i run now is wm6.5 rom that i made.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
Thanx Herg for replying back...I appreciate it as im sure many others do to about where ur at w/it!!! I figured it wouldn't be an easy feat, but was just curious...I know once your done an its completed youll let us know....until then keep up the bad ass work you do...I respect it!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wyzmen:
Herg, i've got some extra free time on my hands, if you need/want some help with the resizing. I'll need you to point me in a direction for instructions on how to do so, but i can't imagine it's too difficult. Just time consuming.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sevenalive:
If your resizing the images to the same percent or resolution you can use photoshop to automate it by recording the action, resize image and save. Then use the action in a batch job.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DrzNight:
This would be awesome. Thanks a lot to OP and Herg for working on this :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iboj007:
Bump in anticipation
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
i think the problem is more than just porting to vga, i tried to port to vga myself as i said eariler in this thread, but it would open then close but i also have wm6.1 so it might only work on builds higher than 21000. but to be honest there really isn't anything new other than landscape
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
I hope this project hasn't been forgotten or over looked cause it would be nice to have a newer fresher version with extra features!!

irus you ported this to vga an have a cab for it?? I only ask b/c im using a wm 6.5 rom with a build higher then 21000....actually im using build 21501
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
ok so i have made a little progress as in i was able to get it to run but not watch any videos yet as its coming up russian.... i think and i got this from the wwe rom and the mui was 409 so im not sure what the problem is but i checked some of the features and i definitely want this new version so i will keep on it. Also i did not port to vga correctly :P so i will get that another shot, it will take me some time as i don't really have a lot of free time but i will keep you updated
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
ok quick update i got videos to show up in landscape but i still can't play any videos also if i go into settings -> site prefs it shows a bunch of countries but not USA which so im not sure if thats part of the problem or not hopefully Herg is still working on this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jrodizzkool01:
Would love to help

im new to resizing apps but im good at image editing things like photoshopping. if theres anything i can do to help with resizing just let me know:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
well to be honest its not the pics they show up find. the app thinks its got 800 px down so when i press the search nothing happens because thats not where the search button is according to the app. i still need to isolate the dll that is need. i only got it working by dumping the tp2 rom and coping over every last dll file from the dump rom. So when i get to work today i will figure it out and make a cab so someone NOT in the USA can test to see if they can get videos to play
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
none working youtube

so i figured out what its missing and made a cab but videos still don't play so if someone from the uk or pretty much any other country than the USA can test to see if you get same results also to view site prefs you need to click on the settings icon in portrait then go to landscape to view :P same with program guide. Im opening this up as i don't think i will be able to fix it myself. hope someone can help. thanks

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
UPDATE: i tested it in wifi and it works but the video runs off the screen a little bit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmckeejr:
Gave it a try irus. I am in US, so might be having same probs as you. Anyway here is what I came up with:

-Program loads fine and main screen looks good.

-I have no menu in program guide. ie: when I click on it the screen goes to alpha(dark greyish) and I see top arrow but no actual menu

-Category was in russian at first, but opening settings>site prefs>and randomly hitting something(no menu there yet either) it became english.

-I get no images or text as to what videos are there, but a random click does in fact play a video, which as you stated before is run of a bit to the right(same with playback controls)

-Videos seemed to load very fast(faster than the version I have cooked into ROM)

-All in all not too bad. Cant wait to get the rest worked out. I'm gonna have a look at some ofg the dll's, but I am no programmer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
if you look at my previous post i said you can see site prefs and other stuff if you are in landscape. also could you play video on 3g or just wifi? thanks for testing
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmckeejr:
Sorry didn't catch the landscape part. Just checkd again. Actually the videos do play with 3g, but there is no image in landscape. When I switch to portrait I can see it :confused: I was thinking there would be images in the dll's too, but looks like it will take someone smarter than me to adjust the coordinates of things. Atleast it runs and plays. Just need realingned and all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] herg62123:
no i havent forgotten this...i have a lot going on in my life so i work on it as fast as i can and when i can.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] herg62123:
ding ding in comes herg62123 the proter of apps
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
high five :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
awesome great to see you Herg as always!! and please never take what i say or when i ask for you in a bad way cause in no way shape or form do i ever disregard your reg. life!!!:

hopefully this gets worked out by whom ever an it we can use it!! i was cool when herg said he wasnt working on this b/c he was putting his efforts towards the new htc diarler lol.... touch pro 2 dialer is wanted more then this lol but ill take this as well :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
I hate to be the one to self-bump, but here goes anyway . . . (I wonder what page this was on?)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
@herg62123/irus:

Looks like we're duplicating efforts.

I've got some cycles at the moment and am in the midst of porting YouTube 2_5_19142728_00 (fresh off the Rhodium ROM) for use on 480x640 devices.

My problem is that i'm terrible at the graphics part - mostly because i'm not a PhotoShop expert. Anyway, don't hesitate to send me a PM if either of you is interested in turning this into a joint-effort.

Regards,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rumbles:
bumping again :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
hows it going?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
it going, we have resized the images and more of the app now works in portrait and landscape and we can watch stuff but the buttons for searching and favs ect don't work yet but hilaireg is working on that part so don't worry people are working on this :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
AWESOME NEWS!!! I await this eagerly!!! :D

If it's ok to ask, how close to completion is it at??

Non the less I THANK YOU for my-self and others cause we appreciate your time skills an efforts always!! Yours and Hergs!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
As irus indicated, we are still tracking down file dependencies. I have managed to get the application to a state where it runs, plays back audio & video (in landscape), obtains content over WiFi/ActiveSync/3G and where most button elements respond to interaction.

The short answer; we're about 80%. If it's like other projects i've been on, we've done the easy part ... finishing the last 20% will be the hardest.

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
Thank you for replying back an giving not only me but others a heads up where this project stands!! Appreciated, keep keeping on!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
No problem, this is a coordinated effort between herg62123, irus, captain_throwback, and I. Besides, we'll need help from folks following this thread during testing once we have a first cut.

Cheers,

:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] herg62123:
ok i have figured out the buttons need to be resized as well and HTCYouTubeService.dll needs some moding as well

if i am looking at it correctly ... and i could be wrong .... the placement of buttons is in the HTCYouTubeService.dll
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
I've got some cycles today, I'll start looking at the HTCYouTubeService.dll to determine if we can pass resolution to the app via external reg/ini or if hex modding will be required.

Forwarded a PM to you from Irus with some image resizing he's done.

:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
i dont even know what the new youtube looks like, i only know it does landscape.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
Quick Update

There's been

a lot

of activity in the last 24hrs ... three separate version of YouTube 2.6. I personally, have not had a chance to look at these new versions ... aiming to that tomorrow.

@The Jack Of Clubs:

As far as I can see, you are correct - only seems to provide playback in Landscape - the overall look of the UI is nicer.

Cheers,

Any luck, has anyone worked with the topaz youtube. I think Da_G is looking into the topaz (i MEANT THE TACHI)stuff for his kitchen's...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kk0813:
For some videos there are more than one part using playlists. When I search and play I get only part 1 to play and then again I have to select next part to play. Some videos are more than 10 parts. Is there any way to search and play all the parts as a playlist instead of selecting one after the other manually?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
I don't think we want the topaz as that version is for no keyboard device
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] noellenchris:
hmm.. but i think it's VGA and not WVGA like the Rhodium? I may be wrong, I'm no expert, just hoping to get the newer YouTube to play with on my Fuze...:)

WHOOOPPSSS...... I MEANT THE TACHI.............LOL
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
The Topaz is also WVGA. Don't worry; several people are working on this. I want it on my Fuze too, which is why I started this thread in the first place ;).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
I started looking at the last few versions that were released over the last few days, they all appear to be WVGA - still haven't seen the Tachi version yet.

Although today is Canada Day (i.e. holiday), which means I have no excuse

not

to work on this, I haven't felt motivated to do anything tek related.

:o
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
You know, changing that one setting (DeviceSetting=dword:10) seems to have made a World of difference. Everything is centered correctly on the screen, and the Menus work. The only thing not working for me is Video Playback (a small thing, of course :o). When I go to view a video, the screen blacks out, and I'm left with my top bar, as if the video has exceeded the size of the screen. Befor making that change, the video would actually load, and play (with audio, but no video). Is there something else Ican change that may make video playback work correctly? I'm using the 2.6 version included in Da_G's 6.5 kitchen (which I know you have :)). Don't want you to do too much work on a hoilday; just looking for a suggestion, a hint, or a helping hand ;).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] herg62123:
could fullscreen player 1.7 be needed

if it is i have tachi fullscreen 1.7 but it is buggy still
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
If so, then I still have a problem, as I have your Fullscreen Player 1.7 cooked into my ROM :rolleyes:. Unless that one hasn't been resized properly?

EDIT: It appears to be mostly working now! Its playing video! Only thing missing is the top bar that indicates the name of the video that's playing; mine instead has the system top bar covering it.

EDIT2: That, and the "Related Videos" after a video finishes playing still extends off the screen. But it's definitely usable at this point :)

EDIT3: Actually, I think my issue relates to the SensorSDK4. I'm noticing that if I rotate my device into portrait mode while YouTube is in Video mode, i can see the window rotate (as evidenced by the system top bar), but the video window remains Portrait. I bet if I make YouTube an exclusion from the Whitelist it'll work correctly, but that'll defeat the purpose of having a Landscape mode, IMO
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
Two YouTube Streams ?

I had some time today to look at the various versions of YouTube that have released in that past week or so.

Version 2.5.xxxx.xxxx: WinMO 6.1 support

Version 2.6.xxxx.xxxx: WinMO 6.5 support only

As i've been going through the EXE's and DLL's, I discovered that YouTube 2.6 versions require HTCScroll2.dll which appears on WinMO 6.5 (218xx +) builds. I searched for HTCScroll.dll and sure enough, it does not appear at all in WinMO 6.5 builds.

If I look at the last Rhodium WinMO 6.1 release that I have, YouTube 2.5 is coded for HTCScroll.dll - not HTCScroll2.dll.

This would seem to indicate that packages from .NBH's that are WinMO 6.5 builds will likely not function as expected on WinMO 6.1. I say this as I suspect we are going to discover that HTC may be updating some of their drivers to work with WinMO 6.5.

Backporting these drivers may be possible ... haven't looked that far into it as of this note.

Cheers,

Notes

YouTube rotation is handled by:

HKLM\Software\HTC\YouTube -> EnableRotate

Interface elements sizing seems to be partially handled by:

HKLM\Software\HTC\YouTube -> DeviceSetting

Tried a DWORD value of 10 for the Raph; seems better
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmckeejr:
Surprised you haven't already posted a cab Cabtain ;) I'd like to try this if you can post the cab or files. Does it work in portrait? I cant quite wrap my head around using it in landcape(cant see as many items, plus it plays landscape either way). It would be awesom if we can get the related video lists correct. Been getting used to them cut off anyway, but would def be nice.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] neha.singh87:
nice to see how you guys working together. keep it up and thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
IMHO, it's too early to .CAB it up, still work to be done. I'm looking at Version 2.5 at the moment since this appears to be the last version that will work on WinMO 6.1/6.5.

Although tweaking those registry entries improves the screen elements, there's still cut-off on menus in Portrait - more options appear when in Landscape on those same menus.

Audio/Video does playback providing the mHubV0 packages is added along with HTTPCLIENT.DLL.

The button bar (tv, bookmark, etc.) still does not respond when touched. Other than that, one can scroll through the list of video in Portrait or Landscape.

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Any updates on this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
At the moment, we're focusing on the YT 2.5 build as it seems to be the last version that will work on both WinMO 6.1 & 6.5. YT 2.6 is looking for updated versions of HTC Drivers only present on their new WinMO 6.5 devices (ex: htcscroll2.dll).

I passed on a version to irus, captain_throwback, and herg for testing. Irus informs me that all button elements are working for him (

button ribbon doesn't respond for me

) and that he's having video playback issues (

no problems with audio/video playback for me

).

Although we've made progress, there are still some issues that need looking into in order to get it working consistently for everyone.

HTH,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
I am working on getting video working, the problem is that i can't play a video over 2min long and it takes for ever to connect, I had this problem once before and was able to fix it, as seen here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452487 but it seems that the same version of youtube thats in the tmobile rom is in the wwe htc rom so im looking through different TP2 roms trying to find a slightly different version one that won't automaticlly write the "ProxyName" as "wireless.cingular.com:80" in the reg.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] irus:
delete.... :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
Quick Update

@all:

We've made some significant progress. All of the elements are responding to touch (turned out to be a missing ResLoader .DLL on my end).

Irus has done a fantastic job with image resizing; there's still a bit of work to do on the Landscape elements and the Portrait Filter menu is still missing a few bottom entries.

I'm looking into content buffering at the moment as I suspect the issue that Irus reported is related to buffering - post more details once I have a better understanding of what's going on.

FYI; Herg has been busy on various other projects at the moment but has managed to offer contributions to this project when he's been able to.

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
hey hilaireg. good job on this.

I've managed to get one of the 6.5 versions (2.6 Build 1916.1327) working almost perfectly (besides the video buffering issue, i.e. audio playback is fine, but video lags WAYYY behind & drops many, many frames, and landscape image resizing), just by changing that setting you mentioned earlier. My filter menu in Portrait is attached below. I've also attached a Landscape screenshot (though I also just noticed I don't actually have a "Filter" button in Landscape - am I supposed to?). Am I missing any entries?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
AFAIK, YT 2.6 requires HTCScroll2.dll which is only found on newer WinMO 6.5 HTC devices ... so it's great news if you managed to get a functional version of YT 2.6 to work on WinMO 6.1.21051.

In YT 2.5, there is a Filter button in Landscape & Portrait. I am missing the Settings icon (Gear) in Landscape ... suspect that to be an element sizing issue.

Would you mind ZIP'ing up what you applied to the device and send me a PM with a link? I'd like to take a look at the all of the files (packages) you applied to get it working on WinMO 6.1.21051.

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Captain_Throwback:
I'm running 6.5 not 6.1 (sorry if I didn't specify), and I've included a bunch of "experiemental" packages in my ROM, so I'm not sure what I have would help. Besides that, I'm not exactly sure what I included that made the difference (I'm not even using the old HTC Scroll at all anymore).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
looks cool.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
Update

@all:

Here's a quote from a thread I found on YouTube support:

I've managed to tweak the settings to get approximately three (3) minutes of playback buffered on YT 2.5 before the buffering occurs again. I tried it with YT 1.0 and I experience buffering at about three (3) minutes as well.

Unless someone can provide me with a method they use to address buffering, I'm going to move to building a final test package with Irus and Captain_Throwback's assistance and make it available for ROM compilation and installation.

NOTE:

There are a significant number files and registry changes from different ROM packages required to make YT 2.5+ function correctly; for kitchens, I will leave them as separate packages. For .CAB purposes, we'll likely consolidate all of the files and registry changes into one .CAB - your device will require a Soft Reset.

Volunteer testers will be needed; folks who can provide objective feedback and who are experienced at providing details such as steps to reproduce, etc.

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] jmckeejr:
I'm here for ya hilaireg. I would just use the cab and make my own packages later. Can test funtionality with a few builds(all 6.5) cabbed and cooked.

EDIT: Hilaireg, thanks for sending the files. I put all files and reg entries into a cab so I could uninstall, but loks like I wont need to. Seems to be working near perfect for me with exception of filter button in lanscape is mostly hidden by the other buttons(no issue for me)

-Installed compressed cab= complete w/ no issue

-Portrait=working 100% so far, includes all menus

-Video playback=100%, no lag for me using wifi(will test 3G later)

-Audio= 100%

-Lanscape video&Audio=100%

-Lanscape menus=98%(filterbutton hidden)

-Even the related videos part is working.

I give my approval. Tested on 21921. Hilaireg, I will wait for your ok to post the cab and the compressed cab here(if you want mine that is)

Will cook it in later to test that end. So far have no ill effects from replacing my ROM files with the files included. This Version is hella big though, 11MB+. I compressed 1 cab to 3.5MB, and have the other if it does not install for everyone. Feel free to PM if you dont here from me soon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sevenalive:
Thanks guys, can't wait to use it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hilaireg:
@jmckeejr:

Thanks for taking the time to the report your findings; you are correct:

Landscape:

The Landscape button bar positioning is off; still researching where the positioning info is kept. Once figured, that should properly expose the Filter button.

The Setting (Gear icon) menu is also missing; not certain if that is intended or not - still investigating.

The video text in the Header bar slightly overlaps the YouTube logo. I suspect the header bar(s) may need a slight adjustment.

Portrait:

The Portrait Filter menu is missing two menu option; you can see which ones when selecting Landscape Filter menu. I suspect another image needs resizing; haven't located which one yet.

Other than you and the immediate team, we haven't had too many volunteers offering to help so I would prefer fixing these issues before posting it for mass consumption.

Irus has done a excellent job adjusting the images ... kudos!

Cheers,
