Youtubeplay v1.0.0.10 (PPC Application)

milesmowbray released an update to his YouTube search and player application Youtubeplay. It feels a bit like CorePlayer.

Youtubeplay allows you to search for videos in a nice friendly Windows Mobile 5 (and greater) application and then plays the full FLV video (not miniscule MPEG4 versions) with its own player. This application can download the FLV videos for offline use and also then extract the soundtrack to an MP3 file.

The app is written in a mixture of .net and C so you need the .net runtime, v2 or v3.5. The video player overlay is hacked out of TCPMP and the FLV part is based on FFMPEG.

Changes:

New – Added the facility to extract the audio as an MP3 from any saved FLV
Fix – HTC Streaming Media option should now work again

Changes:

– Settings will work without pushing “Enter”, just wait until validating has finished and press “Done”
– iWeather now caches the last update, so you don’t have to stay online the whole time
– refresh iWeather by tapping on the signal-strength in the upper left corner
– still no VGA support, sorry

Easy Expenses v0.93.1 (PPC Application)

Easy Expenses is mainly focussed on logging expenses. It is meant to be simple and easy to use. Easy Expenses is not designed as a complete finance management program and never will be. If you want to use Easy Expenses for this purpose, you have to export the data and process it in a program like Microsoft Excel.

Changes:

– Removed income column, instead income is shown as positive/negative value (depending on setting).
– Option to increase/decrease values by digit (e.g. increasing 9 gives 0, not 10).
– Only one instance can run.
