Huh? It worked for you? Oh - I'm guessing this is from the web page one I put up a few days ago.
To be honest, I don't think 360 compatibility is ever going to be great, for the simple reason that the video is not really designed to be sent between your Media Center and your 360 at the sort of speeds it needs to be sent at.
But I WOULD try to make better support for the 360...apart from the fact that I simply don't own one and therefore can't actually DO any development for it.
I was planning on spending the donations buying one, but with thousands of copies of YouTubeMCE and a good thousand or more of Yougle, I've had a single donation of $1.50.
So right now it's 'No' for the two reasons above. a) I don't know if it's going to be possible to get smooth graphics and b) I can't test it anyway without a 360.
I have just started using http://stage6.divx.com/ to host High Definition videos.They will hold standard def too.Would love to see this integrated with your app too!
Good Job!
Y!S
Those vids ARE quite pretty, aren't they? Hmm...well, we will see. Big update coming out this afternoon (adds Grouper and Fullscreen Only functions) - we will see about the DivX site.
I think we may be able to do something with it.
The new version of Yougle is released, and this time I've moved it a higher version number. Yes, that's right - we are now playing with 0.6.0!
Changes:
* Added Grouper Compatibility
* Added a 'Fullscreen Only' option that allows you to jump straight from the video list to full-screen display. Use the '*' key to save/remove movies from favourites.
* Added Adobe Flash detection, to warn users if they have not installed Flash on their Media Center (or on IE)
* More 'Media Center Like' behaviours and appearance, including fading of control groups that are not active.
* Rescaled the layout to be more reasonable on widescreen displays - it scales in a similar way to other Media Center menus
* Repositioned and rescaled the Flash window in non-fullscreen playback to center it properly in unusual resolutions and widescreen TV's.
* Adding a favourite or renaming a video now refreshes the movie properly when pressing 'Back'
* Minor issues resolved when searching all video sources
* A number of text input control changes...
- Change to upper and lowercase when editng text using the channel buttons
- Help text under all search controls
- Text controls do not attempt to start the search when they are clicked with the mouse
- New text input contols now support non-alpha keys and punctuation, as well as being more attractive graphically.
* Made changes to improve performance, particularly in searches.
* Removed an error message that could appear when pressing 'Back' in fullscreen mode.
* 'Back' no longer possible when you delete a video from Favourites (avoids confusion)
* Made changes to ensure adding new video sources and adding new interface control types is very simple.
This is a MAJOR update to the Yougle system.
The automatic update SHOULD work correctly to bring you up to this version. You may have some major problems with the Yougle interface during the actual update. If these problems persist, please re-start Windows Media Center (your computer itself should be fine, but Media Center may need to be restarted) and try pressing the F5 key when in Yougle itself.
If probems continue after that, you may need to download the latest installer and re-install the product.

New updates out tonight - makes the server a little bit more reliable and also fixes the problems that can occur when installing the new version, as the internet update contained a file with problems that could cause Yougle to lock up when browsing.
You know, I'm not going to bite if people make comments...
The only thing i found was that you always get a popup this page is not designed for media center.
I know that you can check the box don't show this again, but it would be nicer not to get this.
I don't know if it is possible it depends on how you display the information from the original website.
Keep up the good work :)

DivX118 - could you tell me which pages you get this on? Just one page (ie. the first one) or do you see it on ALL of them? It's easy to fix, and I'm pretty sure I had already done it - but it's easy to miss a page.
Yeah - there were some minor problems with the Automatic Update screwing up new installations of Yougle 0.6.0 (which is why there is a 0.6.1 out now), and the upgrade process between 0.5.x and 0.6.x can mean you need to restart Yougle a few times before it works properly.
When in doubt, the uninstall/reinstall usually does do the trick - but I have fixed the automated update problem now, so it shouldn't bother newer versions of the product.
I better tell you the ones that do work the list will be shorter :)

The rest is giving me all not designed for media center.
I have some other minor remarkes:
1) you call the plugin "my web video" and on the main screen it is "yougle" a little confusing why is this
2) I thought "favoUrites" is written as "favorites", but i am no english expert :)
3) It would be nice if you would have a choice in the installer adding to "More TV" (The registry folder would be Categories\Services\TV see the SDK if you didn't know already ;) )

PS I would love to help you with this, but i don't know php, just some html and jscript, that beside i will start my new project soon. I will help you troubleshooting if you have a new version and give some feedback.
OK - that IS strange, since I link to a file that should mark all of the files as MCE enabled. Very odd. I'll look into it this afternoon. Basically, all of the actual PHP files are coming back badly.
Could I get you to go into Yougle and press 'F5' to refresh the page? You may get an error - if you do, just press 'F5' again. If the problem persists, perhaps downloading 0.6.1 may do the trick?
The 'Yougle' and 'My Web Video' thing just happened, more or less. 'My Web Video' is a little bit more informative than 'My Yougle', so that's what I called it.
The uppercase 'U' in Favourites is an interesting one - I'll find it and kill it :P
Oh, thanks for the hint on More TV - that's a good idea. To be honest, I didn't actually notice that I could add elements to that menu. That's a great place to keep it, and it doesn't waste space in the Start Menu.
I have version 0.6.1 Refreshing with F5 doesn't do the trick
I looked at your php files and tried to ad
<script> function IsMCEEnabled() { return true; }</script>
first in a js file that loads when the page load, but it didn't work maybe because of php i don't know (don't know .... about php)
then i put the script in the head of the html from the php file and now it works i don't get the message anymore. In my plugins html jscript i put it in the "BasicFunctions.js" file and call it from html with
"<script src="BasicFunctions.js" type="text/javascript"></script>"
Hope this helps you :)
Another little thing i noticed you can't select the install folder on install maybe you can change that in the next installer it would be nice i like to keep my windows partition as clean as possible. :)
You see, this is already IN the code, in OnDemand.js - which should be included by EVERY web page.
Hehe - I'm not THAT dim, and I wouldn't put up with that sort of message on my own computer. You see, nobody else has reported the problem, so it's left me a little confused.
There WAS an older version a while back where I had left out the links to OnDemand.js, and that DID have the problem you are describing. But since then I believe I have repaired the problem. To me, it almost seems that your browser has cached an old version (which can happen due to a small caching problem in the web server in versions before 0.6.1) - which is why I suggested a manual upgrade.
Still, I will continue to look into it - there may be a problem I'm not aware of.
Sorry i know you are not that dim :)
I downloaded the version from your website the filename is "Yougle_0.6.1.msi" installed it again after reinstalling the old version. Still getting the message.
I looked at OnDemand.js and the function is not there I added it myself and now it is working :) I don't get the message anymore after pressing F5 refreshing the page.
But for some reason the OnDemand.js in the installer doesn't have the function in it.
Just wanted to help :)
