Oh! Then in that case, we have found the cause of the problem. That's REALLY odd - it should have been in every version since YouTubeMCE 0.5.1!

I'll make sure I update it - Automatic Update should be sending this function out to all of the people out there. Give me 10 minutes, and it will officially be uploading to Yougle users everywhere.

Sorry about that, and thanks for all your help.

Hi IIB, I have successfully updated to the latest 0.6.x version and can report that it's working great.

The only suggestion I'd like to offer is to display the running time and/or file size in the main video lists.  (Not sure about file size, but certainly the running length is displayed on YouTube and Google Videos websites,  so I'm guessing you should be able to get access to this information?).

The only reason is that when you're browsing through the list,  it's not clear what you're getting yourself in for when you select a video to watch (ie. is it going to be a short 30 second clip, or an hour long movie?)

Aside from that, I'm very pleased with the plug-in.

Not a bad suggestion. I've actually put in the facility to do that, I just haven't gotten around to actually implementing it in all of the various video-grabbers for YouTube, Google and Grouper yet.

It may be the extra feature in 0.6.3.

Blackjet from the Australian Media Center community pointed out that YouTube stopped working in Yougle. This is because they changed their website layout again.

If you have trouble accessing YouTube, just wait 30 seconds or so for the automatic update to finish running in the background. You should have the new YouTube grabber shortly!

If you want to be amused in the mean time and own some games you can run in MAME (or run other games from your Media Center) you may wanna try "My Games", the newest plugin of mine.

This looks great! I'm always a bit scared of installing new software onto my MCE. How is the stability of this?

Should I wait until 1.0 to be sure the wife will stay happy?

It's generally quite stable, and if you are waiting for 1.anything, you are going to have a LONG wait. The basic idea is that if I ever decide to take it to 1.0, it's going to be either a) commercial or b) for Vista. It's unlikely that I will ever release this as a commercial product and I haven't even STARTED on the Vista version yet.

It's pretty stable. It's all made from some quality code and standard parts. NO spyware. No malware, nothing that starts with Windows. You may have the odd glitch with the plugin itself, but it's not going to de-stablise the media center

OK - to cover my own ***, I'm going to say 'If it does, I take no responsibility' - but I can't forsee any reason why it WOULD. Thousands of people are now using the plugin, and I haven't had anyone complain about major instability.

Thats good enough for me...i'll give it a go over the weekend.

So Huggy - how did it go? Is it working for you?

The DivX Stage 6 module is done! I'll hopefully be uploading it to people in the next couple of days.

From now on, I'll try to add a new source every time the total amount of donations double - so with another $20, you can get another one! If someone donates the ENTIRE $20, they get to choose the new source (if it is possible to use their video in Yougle - some sources are very difficult to use).

YouTube once again updated it's website, killing Yougle - I've released an new update to fix it. It also adds two things - DivX Stage 6, and it also gives you the running time of YouTube movies when you are browsing them.

You will need the DivX Web Player from http://www.divx.com to play Stage 6 videos. WARNING: Some people may have serious difficulties using the official DivX codec with Media Center - I know I have had difficulties in the past. If you don't already have it installed, I would suggest ONLY installing the web player.

Google just picked up YouTube for 1.65B.  It will be interesting to see what Google does with their Google Video, not that they have YouTube which gets MUCH more traffic.

YouTube still seems to be the more active of the two, even if the video quality on Google Video does seem superior. But all of it pales next to the Stage 6 movies. They are SO pretty, and most of them stream very well for such high quality.

A new update has been released (it's hopefully going to reach you via Automatic Update).

Google Video, Youtube and DivX Stage 6 had all made changes to their interface over the last couple of weeks, requiring changes to Yougle.

With the flood of donations I'm getting (3 in the last 6 months) I'm not going to be updating Yougle as frequently as I've been trying to - I may only be getting around to it every time I want to use the plugin myself, so if you find that Yougle has stopped working, it may be 1-2 weeks before the problems are resolved.

So, anyone having any troubles? Or has it just been that stable for that long?

I can never view any video more than 30 mins without the page error , can't button back to choose another one. Have to restart the MCE and choose another video .
