Hey there

what is going on? any idea why it takes so long for microsoft to check your app?
Bc it was bounced last friday. Hopefully it will be approved today, otherwise tomorrow.

I have no clue, but I think they dont have any testers working in the weekend so work will stack up and they have to catch up during the week. But it takes long indeed :)

About the orientation lock, thats a good one, will not be too hard to make I think. Ill have to see how that works, but I will try to implement it in the next version.

Well probably not, but as i dont have an account i cant verify it. Be amongst the first to confirm this once it releases :)
Youll have to visit megavideo.com in metro browser than and login, than it will probably register you ip address as a premium megavideo user.

As I said, cant confirm nor deny what will be the answer but I think there will be no limitation if u are a premium user.
ok i will check ;)

I can't download it,it tell me that this application is not available to my devices
i'm in france
It may take a couple of hours before it will appear in zune!
It will be available in all countries for all Mango and above devices! It just takes some time before zune updates and than it will be available (so check back in a couple of hours or tomorrow).

FLV on WP7 sounds interesting.

Curious, there is already a web browser on the market named Metro Web Browser. Could that be a problem?

Also the link posted goes to no app and I am in the USA. :/ So I am guessing it hasn't refreshed yet.

Yeah I realised that there is an app with the same name out already :( but thats too late now. It wont be much of a problem it will just create a lot of confusion :) so we will have to distantiate ourselves with high ratings good reviews and a top notch application than :)

Btw I started on the implementation of tabbed browsing. It will be the best tabbed implementation of any third party wp7 browser as we just managed to srink all the tabs like IE9 mobile does it (so with real images of the webpages :) ) currently you cant make a new tab yet (n.y.i.) but this will be the obvious next thing ill implement. Than we need to improve the history as this will require a new structure (keeping the history for each tab seperated, not "that" big of a deal but still requires some recoding of the current structure).

But the good news is, this will be included in the next update! So for all of you who want to finally have a good implementation of tabs, hopefully we can add this to the next release (~2 weeks).

The link posted goes to no app and I am in the USA also. Do u know why sometime when I clicked on some link on WP7,why it just open a blank page?
It works now. It takes a while for zune to update (thats why I said, it might take a couple of hours before it will show up).

Im in Holland and its in here, it should be there in any country as I published it world wide.

Wow!

I am still in school so I cant really check the app out, but i've tried one video just for a short time, but I will check it out when i am in the train to go home. :p

I have allready pinned it on to the homescreen. :)

Keep the project running, I like your new ideas.

I may will review the app later. ;)

Downloaded, tested, purchased, pinned to start and reviewed. :D Great work, Marvin. Thank you very much. The only downside with Metro Browser is that it's missing tab support. Other than that: very amazing.

[Edit]

VideoBB and Videozer don't seem to work. Everytime I try to open one of those links, it starts the mediaplayer which then says "could not reach server".

Found another bug: I cannot add burning-series.to to my favorites. Even though the site is fully loaded, the add button stays grayed out.

thanks ill look into it. Can you pm me the links of videobb and videozer you were testing? VideoBB is an extremely slow and unreliable server Ive found out... But ill check it out and see if its a bug indeed.
Do you experience the same results on Videobull.com?

You've got mail. ;) Tried videobull.com in the meantime. Just like all the other sites: videobb doesn't work, megavideo does.

Indeed :| I've noted the issues with VideoBB. It seems like they changed their logic and we can not get access now...

Ill have to look for a way around this :(
