    I really like the layout I was messing with it the other night. The buffering for me is a must. Instant streaming is a huge advantage as youtube videos are something you want to watch quick and painlessly. Other then that it works well with my setup. Id like to see other sources such as divx stage 6 stuff for higher quality videos. I will report back after using it more.

    Hey Is there a way to add my own providers to the application? Or would you be interested in sharing out the code so that people can add more providers to the app?

    Thanks for the feedback, guys.

    Check out %APPDATA%/Push-A-Button/Yougle2/Providers - this folder contains the SourceScript 0.1 files that define a video provider. You'll find the one for YouTube there.

    I WANT people to add providers...then I don't have to spend quite so much time maintaining the buggers :)

    You can feel free to add your own - and even send your providers back to me so I can add them to later versions / updates and allow them to be downloaded from the 'Net (with credit to you, of course).

    Basically, you define a category. Each category has a list of the important fields (eg. Name, ID/URL, Description/Info and Image), the URL of the web page to fetch the data from (with % substitution - eg %p is the page number, %q is the search query etc.) and a regular expression that can be used to search for the information in the web page.

    And at the end is the 'detail' page so you can get the actual URL of the Flash Video file itself.

    Are you still up for testers?  I just got a Vista box with an MS Remote and would love to play with this tool!

    Just go a few posts back - there's a web link (page 3) to download the alpha.

    Re: Yougle 2.0 (for Vista) - ALPHA testers needed soon

    Tried playing with the provider scripting with Metacafe and I've got something (very crude) but I'm running into a brick wall. The current code is:

    <youglesource>
      <provider name="Metacafe" image="http://image.metacafe.com/Images/MCLogo.jpg">

        <category name="Search">
          <url>http://www.metacafe.com/tags/%q/page-%p/</url>

          <field prefix="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/">ID</field>
          <field prefix="http://">Image</field>
          <field>Info</field>
          <field>Name</field>
          <field>Description</field>

          <regex>
            <!--[CDATA[<li onclick=".*?\s*?<div class="imgAndTime" ><a href="/watch/(.*?)"><img src="http://(.*?)" width=".*?" height=".*?" alt=".*?" /></a><span class="runTime">(.*?)</span></div>\s*?<div class="block0">\s*?<div class="block">\s*?<em>.*?</em>\s*?<h3><a href=".*?">(.*?)</a>\s*?.*?\s*?<div>\s*?<div class="rated" style="width:100%;">\s*?<span onclick=".*?">Rated <span id='.*?'>.*?</span></span>.*?<span style=".*?">.*?</span><br /><span class="itemDesc" onclick=".*?">\s*?(.*?\s*?)</span><br /><span class="submitted">Submitted by:<a class="submitted" href=".*?" onclick="">.*?</a></span></div></div>\s*?</div>\s*?</li>]]-->
          </regex>
        </category>

        <videopage>
          <id>
            <!--[CDATA[<link rel="video_src" href="(.*?)" />]]-->        
          </id>
          <path>
            <!--[CDATA[%i]]-->
          </path>
        </videopage>

      </provider>
    </youglesource>

    Unfortunately, that video source is the swf embedded player, not the flv (and the swf doesn't play). To get the flv I need to be able to point the video ID to something like: http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer.php?itemID=96866&t=site&fs=n&LEID=100&prefixAdID=&suffixAdID= *Note the itemID is in the middle of the link Could you add a field suffix handler as well so that I could do something more like:
    <field prefix="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer.php?itemID=" suffix="&amp;t=site&amp;fs=n&amp;LEID=100&amp;prefixAdID=&amp;suffixAdID=">ID</field>
    Other than the small issues others have brought up (buffering and no typing with remote), I haven't found any major issues with using the program. Awesome job!

    Does Yougle 2.0 work with MCE 2005?  If not, are there any plans for this?

    The "old" version of Yougle is for MCE2005 only.  http://www.push-a-button.com.au/products/mce/Yougle.php

    This is the stable release, the Vista version is still in testing.

    I get an error when I try to play any videos, is there something I am doing wrong?

    I have FFShow.

    Re: Yougle 2.0 (for Vista) - ALPHA testers needed soon

    Ummm... "I get an error" is never really enough detail. There are so many possible errors in Windows and Media Center that I really can't tell you anything unless you can tell me what the error actually says.

    Once I know that, I'll be able to help.

    Re: Yougle 2.0 (for Vista) - ALPHA testers needed soon

    Hi,
    I just installed Yougle 2 on  my PC. Thanks for creating us such an application. I've got a few suggestions on the search capabilities:
    - would it be possible to refine a previous search: that is start a new search within the previous search results
    - is it possible to filter (or sort) on video lengths? example: exclude videos of less than 30 seconds

    Thanks already for the good work

    Yes, I've already got plans to add 'suffix', as well as a number of conditions and other tricks. Yougle is using a very early version of a system I'm calling SourceScript, but there's a fair way to go before it's completely happy.

    Anyway, I'm working on Google Video, DivX Stage 6 and Soapbox compatibility at the moment, which should hopefully mean that I'll be adding a number of new SourceScript features that should give you the ability to finish your Metacafe addin.

    Thanks for putting in the time and effort! It's great to have someone knocking about with the engine.

    Re: Yougle 2.0 (for Vista) - ALPHA testers needed soon

    I tried your plugin on a German version of Vista Ultimate with the fddshow codec.When I choose a video to play the screen begins to flicker about 4 times and  I can see the typical message "video finished" with the buttons "start over", "delete" etc. in the background. Afer that  I get the message "video cannot be played, mce can´t  find the file. Please ensure that the path is correct etc etc.". I never managed to get one video played back ...

    Re: Yougle 2.0 (for Vista) - ALPHA testers needed soon

    It's possible that YouTube has changed their site format recently and broken Yougle 2. I'll look into it as soon as I've got some time.
