NSXMLDocument woes…
It now appears the NSXMLDocument class in 2.0 is borked. Therefore, I must recode all of my XML parsing to use NSXMLParser. This may delay MxTube 2.0 a little longer than expected, I’ll keep everyone posted.

Stop unsigned binaries from being killed.
I am currently not an approved developer so I must scp my application to my phone. After getting it on the phone successfully, after launch it was killed off immediately. I checked via SSH and it was obvious it was not allowed to run because it was not signed. If this is happening to you run the following command in SSH:
sysctl -w security.mac.proc_enforce=0 security.mac.vnode_enforce=0
Saurik (developer of cydia) tipped me off to this method. Note that it will cause some things not to function properly but a reboot will reset any changes this command has made.

PS: Here’s a nice little screenshot of MxTube v2.0 on my shiny iPhone 3G!
*hint hint* it runs on 2.0 
PWNAGE 2.0 IS OUT!!!!
Finally The iPhone Dev Team has released pwnage for iPhone Firmware 2.0 & iPhone 3G! I will now be able to finish up MxTube for 2.0 and I plan to have it released with a week or so. I’ll keep everyone posted.

You haz an iPhone 3G?!?!?! ZOMGZ NOWAI
I just got back from the Apple store with my new iPhone 3G 16GB in hand! This means that I will now be able to test my SDK (2.0) version of MxTube in the next few days. I’m currently waiting to see how pwnage will turn out and it might lead to some cool new features. I’ll keep everyone posted of any other updates.

Video Descriptions!
I’ve seen many requests for this and I finally have it working. Video descriptions just like YouTube.app will be available in MxTube2! This will allow for streaming previews of videos and multiple sharing options when needed! I will be adding more to the description page and I hope to have a video up soon. Sit tight, its getting closer to being done!

W00t! YouTube Mobile & YouTube.com Search Work!
I am currently having problems getting authentication for .mp4 videos to work because OpenSSL appears to have been taken out of the SDK. I have started using pre-made keys so I can finish the rest of the application and come back to the authentication stuff later. Hopefully soon I’ll have some video of the search up and running soon!

SDK…
I have been trying to code MxTube in the sdk before I move to toolchain mainly because the sdk is so limiting UI wise. Instead of having a segmented control above the search field I have a new and improved way of selecting the search type. I have now overcome most of the problems I had been having with the sdk and hope to finish up the entire search UI and backend functionality in a week or two. Thanks to all of those who donated! I really appreciate it and it’s what really keeps me going. Here’s a preview of whats to come:
This method of choosing the search type will work perfectly when I add plugin functionality for those who want MxTube to work on even more sites.

PS: For those who have been asking, I do not charge for this app and I never plan to, even on 2.0. This is a hobby for me and most of the time it’s really fun.
MxTube2 Dev now in full swing!
For those who do not know, I am currently a student and this has greatly impacted the amount of time I have to work on MxTube2. Today was my last day of school for this year, therefore I will be working on MxTube2 _much_ more. Everything so far is going well, no bugs found on 2.0 or 1.1.4 versions, but I am running into some GUI problems when using the sdk. I’m sure I will be able to fix them, but that is the main reason for the delays. I’m also proud to announce that MxTube 2.1, will contain a plugin feature allowing others to make plugins that allow mxtube 2.1 to run with other video sharing sites. MxTube 2.1 will have an array of video conversion tools that will make this possible.

MxTube v2 Status Updates!
I know many are anxiously awaiting the MxTube v2 release so I will be working on posting updates as frequently as possible starting today. For those who don’t already know, I am building MxTube v2 using the sdk (1.2/2.0) and toolchain (1.1.4 and below) from the ground up simultaneously. I am building significant “chunks” of code using the sdk so I can get rid of bugs before building them using the toolchain. With that said, here is the first status update; MxTube v2 - f2.0’s featured page is done! I will build the featured page on MxTube v2 - f1.1.4 tomorrow and get started on the search function for f2.0.

MxTube2 on firmware 1.1.4 & 2.0!
After figuring out the cause of the bug I realized that a few things need to be redone in MxTube2. Therefore I am starting MxTube2 over and working on a new 2.0 and 1.1.4 side by side so it will be available on all firmwares come release day. It will probably only take me 2 days to get back to where I was with the toolchain version, then MxTube2 dev will be back on track.
