MxTube2 dev has been going great! Just like before everything is just falling into place perfectly. So far MxTube2 has not crashed once and doesn’t have a single bug. Also, one small but cool feature I have been able to build is dynamic thumbnail loading for the search function. Just like the youtube app, mxtube2 will only load thumbnails in view after scrolling has stopped. This improves the speed of the application considerably.

Here is a little video I whipped up:

 
If only the built in iSight wasn’t built in…

During the time that I cannot work on MxTube2, I have been playing ParkingLot. By far this is the most addicting iPhone game I have found. For those who haven’t seen it yet, go check it out at freemyiphone.com or download it from BigBoss’s community source repository.

Now just for some more level packs

MxTube v2 dev has been good for the past week. I’ve been working on it on and off, and the gui is coming along well. It will probably take me a month or so to finish because I am rewriting it from the ground up to remove all bugs. For now, here is a screenshot of the new search function:

Before starting a search you will be able to choose between YouTube Mobile, YouTube.com and Video ID. YouTube Mobile is what MxTube v1 and YouTube.app use, which has preconverted videos. For videos that do not show in YouTube Mobile, a YouTube.com option is available to download and convert videos straight from YouTube.com. Last is Video ID search which allows you to enter the Video ID to find a specific video. I’m very excited to get this app finished and released asap, when I know the date of release you will be able to find it here on mxweas.com.

After hearing nothing but wonderful reviews of the WordPress 2.5 update process, I decided to do it myself. It couldn’t have been easier! After uploading the contents of their tar.gz, I opened the upgrade page and it was done. All of my plugins, themes, comments, posts are all intact and functioning perfectly.

In addition, I have started MxTube 2. I have updated the features post to reflect what I plan to put into MxTube 2. I have not been able to get reverse sync working, this functionality appears to be hard coded into the iTunes Store application. Therefore videos will still be played through MxTube, but there will be an option to send videos to the iPod app. These will stay in the iPod app until the database is replaced upon syncing with iTunes.

You can find and request features here: MxTube 2 Features
