Yea this is hands down the best YouTube app I have found for WP7 and I've tried most if not all of them. So awesome, the fact that it was updated even further is just sweet. I didn't think it could get any better.

If the developer reads these... Thanks guys or girls... keep up the awesome work! Worth the small amount of money for sure.

You know what definitely makes SuperTube far superior than LazyTube or YouTube by Lazyworms?....

With SuperTube I can watch ALL YouTube videos.

Lazytube is silly and only go by the results from m.youtube.com.
Lazytube only shows videos allowed for mobile viewing !!! :mad:

This is ridiculous. You miss many videos.

This is why I finally give up with lame LazyTube and prefere SuperTube.

Thanks again for your innovative and COMPLETE product :)

In the 1.5 version, the performance of the video players has been enhanced. If you can connect the 3G network, you could check the playing quality of 720P videos by 3G.

I'm not able to update. I even tried uninstalling my 1.4 version and reinstalling from marketplace. I have a Samsung Focus, on AT$T, 7390. Is it still available? Did it get pulled for some reason?

I have the same problem. According to the Marketplace description, 1.5 is available, but my copy is still 1.4, and no update shows up for it. What gives?

looks like the developer forgot to change the version number from 1.4 to 1.5. It shows 1.4 but it is actually 1.5. you can check whether the buffering indicator is there or not. 1.4 doesnt have buffering indicator.... 1.5 has it

I am willing to understand their position, nonetheless:

- This is not "illegal" stricto sensu. YouTube rules are not very clear regarding this situation and we could also agree that they do not make sense.
Indeed, in my opinion it is mainly a question of format. I suppose some videos are not supported in theory by mobile phones. But can smartphones be considered as phones? They are more similar to real computers. The proof is that SuperTube can read all these videos.
- Anyway, in the worst case, all that could happen is YouTube will ask the developer to remove this feature. Nothing else.
- Lastly, the LazyWorm developers have 2 applications: LazyTube and YouTube by LazyWorm. So at least they shall include all videos format in their LazyTube app, whereas the other one, YouTube, will remain into the strict scope of YouTube policies.
LazyTube would be more complete and more offensive.

I think it would make sense. LazyTube is a great app, but its developers are unreasonably cautious. Definitely.

It's good to follow the rules, but not unreasonably.
And it's a lawyer speaking here.

OK, fair enough. But here is a sample of the error you get from the google API for one of these videos, and the reason that I also decided not to support them:

Dieses Video enthält Content von Sony ATV Publishing. Es darf auf bestimmten Websites nicht wiedergegeben werden.

Translated: This video contains content from Sony ATV Publishing. It is not allowed to be played back on certain websites.

Now, as a lawyer ;), you should know that it will be impossible to know that you are 100% in the clear when you play back one of these videos. If you can read the error, then you can check with Sony if it's OK - but how can you be sure it's Sony, and which videos?? impossible to be 100% from an apps point of view.

Now, don't get me wrong, nothing against SuperTube (although it still amazes me that it's allowed on the market looking at other apps that have been banned). But to complain about an app because the developer is not willing to risk breaking a copyright or similar isn't really fair.

Like I said, how can an app know if the content is allowed? maybe it's an age restriction, maybe it's prohibited in that country... who's liable, the user watching the video, or the developer that hacked around an error to allow the video to be watched?

Just food for thought, nothing to be taken too seriously please :) I just had exactly the same dilema when added YouTube support to feed me. In the end, if I get a 150 error (unauthorized) I just redirect to the mobile site - but hey, it's an rss reader, not a YouTube app :)

Cheers,
Calum

EDIT: I think we should drop this subject now, not really fair on the SuperTube guys filling their thread with this. I completely understand if a mod wants to delete the last three posts.

    Great. I am looking forward to trying it.

    Will you add a "Best rated" section soon?

    Thank you.
