Continuing our conversation regarding direct youtube links

Hey I've done a litle test to satisfy my curiosity and can say tha direct youtube links are working prefectly on both TCPMP and coreplayer.

Heres what ive tried:

this is the test video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUKqx6kVC0c

went to this link using mozzila browser then view->Page Source

searched for vriable video_id its value was:

&video_id=DUKqx6kVC0c

then searched for token (&t=) variable and its value was:

&t=vjVQa1PpcFMThR72_a5cBGug0vI9Kw77GK-3XF4sVzc%3D

then added those strings to base address:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=<video_id>&t=<token>

so my direct youtube link looks like this:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=DUKqx6kVC0c&t=vjVQa1PpcFM72spG5wxY7JXDNltH13rjKlpqIeBn6ys%3D

and thats it you can paste such link into TCPMP or CorePlayer and they wil play the video

also I've ran a test with different fmt values from here

and can say that in order to use all of them you need to find video that was encoded in different resolutions (e.g my test video) if video was encoded for example only in 360p resolution you would'nt be able to open links with fmt values which points to higher resolutions.

i've did a bit test on other videos and found that fmt=18 (mp4 video) and fmt=5 (flv1 video) values will work on most of the videos and will be playable in both TCPMP and CorePlayer

Below I've attached playlist with my test video direct links with different fmt values, you can open it using TCPMP or CorePlayer

Note: these are only my thoughts, I might be missing something so correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
I'm pretty sure I had tried those kind of links initially, but maybe I had missed something back then. I'll definitely try them out again now. Thanks.

In terms of the formats, I check which ones are available and there is a message in the app if you try to get a format that's not available for the video you selected.

A new version (0.7.0.0) has been posted.

I have fixed the YouTube links so that they now work in both Coreplayer and TCPMP (Thanks bimbam69 and frmariam!).

You may need to try several of the formats to find one that works well in TCPMP. It still struggles with some videos.

2 problems with pornhub:

1. not all categories are shown

2. categories are not showing the right videos
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Yes, I didn't add all the categories yet (there are lots of them). I realized last night they weren't working properly, but left them for now. The keyword search should work.

-- bik2000
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
That's strange... The urls were just crashing TCPMP (from the crash log it's the network plugin that causes it). I tried a clean setup of TCPMP (uninstalled my package, cleaned the registry and installed bimbam's official cab in the device memory...) and they started working. I repeated the procedure but installing my personal cab and it also worked (I haven't messed with TCPMP components and registry for months so I really don't get it :confused:).

EDIT:

Just tried the new build. Success! Youtube is now working :) Thank you soooo much!

And before I forget here are a couple couple more suggestions:

4- Delete partial downloads on cancel.

5- Allow user to choose the download folder (the internal storage really can't handle temporary video storage).

6- Save user selected options (like last used website and selected stream format)

7- Options tab (a place to set all the already suggested user defined opions... I liked the option WVD had to hide the xxx websites from the available websites because too many people have access to my mobile...).

8- Create playlists (useful for those videos/episodes that are split in parts)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Oops, it should ask you for the download folder (and did in previous builds), but I took that out when I was debugging the app and forgot to put it back. I'll put it back in the next build.

New Version - mVu - 0.7.1.0

A new version (0.7.1.0) has been posted.

This version includes the following:

Added the Save As... dialog box that I mistakenly removed in the last version back in, so you can choose where you want to download files to again.

Fixed the Pornhub categories so they now return the correct results.

Added more Pornhub categories, but still haven't added all of them.

Changed the app to delay-load the thumbnail images in a background thread, so that the initial search results come back quicker. You can browse the results while the thumbnails are loading. Thanks frmariam for the suggestion.

With latest version on HD2 I get Win32Exception error when trying to stream. The video downloading works. Please make it remember the default location to download videos. Overall its great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Waw, loads thumbnails VERY fast now! :D

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Just tested the new version and it's working great. Now I can save the download in my sd card.

I noticed that the save dialog doesn't work if you use FileDialogChanger/gsgetfile... For other users that notice this it's easy to bypass (just need to add an exception for mvu in the Control Panel).

Have another small suggestion (you must be tired of me by now :o):

9- Automatically remove illegal chars from the filename box in the save screen (the video name seems to be used by default but may contain chars not allowed for filenames).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gypsydonny:
YEah it doesn't seem to work on my hd2 only youtube does...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
The problem I see with multi-tube search websites is that they give the link to the page where the video is (not the video itself). mVu would still need to support each individual website... Don't quite know how successful would a generic parser approach be...

I totally agree with a non-hardcoded approach. That was the idea behind my previous script-engine suggestion (also asked JM81 the same for WVD in the past). This seems like the most important major possible change (but its success depends on the community support to add/update websites).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robodude288:
the main deal behind the multi tube search is you only need to know how to get videos off the sites not how to get the titles, thumbs, length, ect for every site, this limits the amount of work to be done in the plugins. the main program will handle all searching thumbnails, and only call a plug in when a video is requested.

it would keep everything consistant as search would instantly work on all sites once it works on one.

as for the geneic parser even if it only works for half of them that's still more sites supported than trying to do everything manualy.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robodude288:
hey bik.

no thoughts on my ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
I think you had some good ideas there. I'm definitely thinking about ways to update the program without code changes from me. You are correct that site changes that affect the parsing will be the biggest problem with this kind of application. At this point, I'm still just trying to get the basic functionality working better. I also feel that I need to manually add and tweak a good set of sites first so that I can figure out the commonalities between the sites and what needs to be supported at a basic level. The "plugin" approach may be a good idea, but I need to make sure the program can support all the possibilities that the plugin may need.

-- bik2000
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robodude288:
Well with what I envisioned all that your program would do is pass a url (the url of the site containing the video) to a plug-in which would return a video url. rather than some sort of video retrieval api which i suspect you are thinking of. perhaps you could provide a common parsing library to prevent large plug-ins but each one would be fairly simple.

hmm now that I think about it perhaps you are assuming each one might need to retrieve multiple formats. i think a better way would be for each plugin to only retrieve one type of file per site and you could have different plug-ins support different formats. perhaps the plugin directory could have a further file structure to ease reading in of the files to figure whats supported

Plugins/site/flv.dll , 3gp.dll , ect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
I think it would be great if you can watch you video direct in mVu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Please don't use dlls... If the "plugins" are to be compiled we'll just end up with the same problem (the code won't be accessible and it'll die whenever the author drops it). For simplicity sake everyone should be able to read and edit the existing "plugins". Would rather prefer something script-like and not compiled (Mortscript is popular for a good reason... an easy, open, small and fast "language" that allows even non-developer to do stuff).

Also hope you don't make a plugin for each format in each website (just look at how many plugins we'd have just for Youtube!). One plugin per website seems enough.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Robodude288:
my reasoning was it would be quick and easy to implement a whole scripting engine on the other hand... not so much unless it was done in JS or python or something....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
It doesn't need to actually be an existing script language. Just something text based that mVu can interpret (even .txt should do it for that matter).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jutsch80:
Awesome app but it doesn´t let me play youtube videos. I use the latest core player. Downloading and playing works well but when i hit the play button to stream a video it says:"Win32Exception". Other video hosters are working well to stream but it would be great to have an app that plays AND saves youtube videos. Is there a solution for this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Sounds like several people are seeing the Win32Exception when trying to stream YouTube. I'll have to investigate and see if I can track it down.

-- bik2000
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
I was thinking XML. :)

I'm thinking that I really just need the ability to interpret some kind of Xpath query to find the relevant information in the page source.

Something like this (syntax is not correct, but hopefully you get the idea):

Title = /div[id.startswith("video_")]/img[@alt]

URL = /div[id.startswith("video_")]/a[@href]

Meaning find any <div> with an id attribute that starts with "video", then look for an <img> node under it, and get the alt attribute of that <img> node...

That sounds easy enough to use :)

thanks

edit: doesnt matter i fixed it now. great app btw!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
I'd say it's because you have 3gp or mp4 associated with WMP. You need to associate these files with either TCPMP or Core Player (don't know if there's any other capable player).

Been playing with Mortscript...

Tried producing a script similar to mVu for a Portuguese tube site just for kicks (kind of clumsy but a good enough POC) :D One thing I discovered in process it that it seems to be easier to extract info from mobile websites (I'm not parsing that site html since I can't do a GUI with Mortscript... but the code of the mobile pages seemed a lot easier to interpret). Maybe this also applies to other websites and may make parsing faster for some (that is if you're not doing this already).

Also thought that it may be a good idea (especially once you implemented scripting... as is I don't see much use for it) to add an option where the user pastes a webpage url (rather than doing a search in a tube site) and then the script will parse that website for the download/stream links (think this concept may be useful for Anime websites with videos in MegaVideo since these never show up in MegaVideo search results ;)).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
Yes, it currently only supports one download at a time, and will switch if you start a new download while one is in progress. I plan on adding the capability to queue a list of files for download.

-- bik2000
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
It may be possible to use the mobile site for some sites, but I know when I looked at some of them, the mobile site had less results and didn't have some features like search (e.g. http://m.tube8.com).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bik2000:
The "remote name could not be resolved" issue sounds like you cannot connect to that site. Are you able to connect to the site using a web browser?

Do you have a video player like TCPMP or Coreplayer installed and associated with 3gp, flv, and mp4 videos?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samip430:
If you open a page, then go to another page, then go back to the original page, the thumbnails don't match the video. I'm guessing it's because the videos switch positions (when searching by Rating, Views, etc.) between each opening of the page.

I gotta say after playing with the Evo I feel screwed over by htc on my nexus one. They went all out on the evo 4g and gave the nexus one spotty 3g, crap touch screen, messed up buttons, manufacturing defects, alignment issues and not even close to the quality and attention to detail as the evo. All the buttons are in the right places and the look and feel is spot on. Does anyone else think they did this for a reason? Maybe show Google not to step on there toes?
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
Did you seriously just make this post?

not to mention there already is a post of this going.

I believe the dedicated buttons work great after the update is that the main thing the evo has over the nexus other than 3g? I do feel a little ripped off regarding the old touchscreen but thats all, I've never had the 3g issue and with flash, tethering and the rest of froyo improvements I'm falling in love with android all over again. Incidentally how is the evo Screen size? Having the nexus I don't think a bigger screen would be comfortable to carry. The nexus seems the perfect sizesize, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me the evo screen size is the best ever...

Different and newer hardware and HTC Sense is a pretty spot-on UI experience for the most part.

It's almost like comparing apples to oranges honestly. I look more at the network I plan on using first. Personally a GSM network is preferred because of simultaneous mobile web and calls.

EVO 4G is a beast though, definitely a nice piece of hardware. But I am definitely happy with my N1.

Though I'd be happier if I got me some final release version of FroYo on it. :p
[Nexus One General] torchedlh:
That's a bogus argument. HTC (as well as every other manufacturer) has been making good quality hardware for awhile. He's not complaining about features, he's complaining about quality. Issues with 3G reception, touchscreen buttons, touchscreen digitizer are quality and testing related and are not acceptable on ANY phone at this point in time regardless of other features or pricetag. I'm not saying the Nexus One has these issues (it seems like many due experience them) but Im just saying these are trivial things that should work flawlessly.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
I will say that some of these issues have been "fixed," so to speak, by HTC sense.

As for the touchscreen issue, I am pretty sure this a hardware issue in that the EVO 4G simply has a better touchscreen. I could be wrong on that though.
[Nexus One General] shep211:
The nexus one touch sensor is crap. Cant handle two inputs. The Evo 4g is unlimited. The games are going to be sick. HTC had access to Synaptics ClearPad 3000+ and the new screen in the evo 4g but they used a old clearpad 2000. WHY?

New touch sensor on the Evo 4G.

Honestly, beyond the iPhone OS, I have yet to see many major gaming endeavors on other mobile OSes, Android included.

I'm curious, how much did you pay for the EVO and whats your monthly bill like?
[Nexus One General] shep211:
Yes the graphics need work but they just got opengl es 2.0. I think the next round of games should be better. The problem with n1 and games is when you play fps or race games that use two input points. The nexus one will go crazy and make it unplayable. The same games on the Evo 4G play fine. Thats the first thing I tested.
