This is my YouTube search/player application. Bit like the latest CorePlayer.
It allows you to search for videos in a nice friendly Pocket PC 2003 and greater app and then stream the full FLV video (not miniscule MPEG4 versions) within its own player.
This app can also download the FLV videos for offline use and also then extract the soundtrack to an MP3 file.
The app is written in a mixture of .net and C so you need the .net runtime, v2 or v3.5:
The video player overlay is hacked out of TCPMP and the FLV part is based on FFMPEG.
Things planned: Support for YouTube logons, video uploads, user favorites and better caching/buffering.
Things not planned: Other video sites.
Known issues: Square mode not quite right. Other character sets (Chinese etc.) don't work apparently. Close button sometimes takes a few pushes.
Everybody should note that this application will eat bandwidth, no consideration has been made for data consumed, so Wifi/ActiveSync or unlimited 3g only, be prepared for a big data bill otherwise. Won't work well on GPRS anyway as FLV vids are quite sizeable.
