MxTube 2.0 Now Streaming!

I finally got the MediaPlayer framework’s MPMoviePlayerController working with streaming video! Upon selecting a video from the search list, you may choose to Stream or just Download. Here’s a nice little screenshot :)

Type Hearts, Stars, Clouds and other symbols on iPhone Keyboard

I was messing around with the different international keyboards on 2.0 and I found an awesome way to type many cool symbols using the Japanese Kana keyboard.

1. Go to Settings>General>International>Keyboards>Japanese and Turn the Kana keyboard on.

2. Open a new email, text message, anything and click the world symbol at the bottom of the keyboard. Once on the Kana keyboard press the ABC button twice:
  

3. Press and hold the 1 key and select the star. Wait about 2 seconds for a correction menu to appear. Once it does press the arrow.
  

6. Select your favorite symbol!

NOTE: Different buttons have different sets of symbols. By the way, these work on text messages! :)

PS: Who would ever need a fresh bread symbol? Am I the only one who thinks that symbol at the bottom looks like steaming bread?

NSXMLParser…. my new almost best friend.

NSXMLParser has solved all of my NSXMLDocument problems! XML parsing is now back up and running on MxTube 2.0! Though it wasn’t quite as efficient coding wise, it seems to be a solid replacement and has now put MxTube 2.0 back on track.
