(lol I've been up for two days, I should apologize for excessive posting... but I'm making good progress today

Updated to version 2.2.2.4

- (function by Skan) exit button (X) becomes inactive (greyed out) while video is downloading,
ensures better chance of completion, because if User exits the TV while video is downloading, the video will be incomplete.

Again, I've received so much awesome help on this, and want to say thanks to each and every one of you
for your patience, experience, and professional conduct I've experienced here since the beginning.

I should go to sleep now, it's difficult to maintain correct grammar when I'm tired

Updated to version 2.2.2.5

- fixed a small bug which left the 'X' button disabled after downloading a video
- removed a MsgBox I forgot was there, it was redundant

Updated to version 2.2.2.6 (links in top post)

- updated AHK_L to v1.1.05.01 and Compile AHK to v0.9.1 then I compiled the TV using them.
Everything still operates normally on this end of things.

Not working here, tried both compiled and script, all I get is a small image at the top left corner.
Excuse me but why do you keep posting new versions as a reply?

You need to install Adobe Flash Player... the Internet Explorer version.
YouTube videos need to use it in the TV...
You can find it at the Adobe site:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

or an actual download here at FileHippo:

http://www.filehippo.com/search?q=adobe+flash+player+IE

Take your pick, I would suggest the 32-bit one. I can't verify if the 64-bit
flash player works... so if you use that one, it would be great if you could
confirm if the x64 version of Flash Player works.

I've been posting updates as replies for convenience... users can check the
version number and the date, and also see what specific changes have been
made since the last update.
I won't be posting "updates" much longer at all, I'm building in an updater that
will be run with a "Check for Updates" button.

I will continue to log changes etc on this thread, I like the way the date and time stamps correspond with the updates

doesn't work here. I get this error:

Extract_v2top(A_Temp "\v2top.jpg") is a function that unpacks an image into a temporary folder, namely the top edge of the TV.
It looks like some of the script is missing? The error is actually a "Call to nonexistent function" which means you might not have the entire
script.

I'm also not sure if it works with AHK Basic, I built it in AHK_L.

I would suggest "trust me" and use the EXE installer

Updated to v2.2.2.7 (links in top post)

- YouTube changed their codes, and thankfully Garry has updated his
downloading function, and I've applied his update in this script...
downloading the videos works 100% again.

looks cool & nice gui
few suggestions:
1. feel lack of "Play" button though, because when i add video - it doesn't start playing ( i need to switch channel first )
2. May be it's better to rename "channels" to videos.. Because channels is something different in youtube context. I feel like i could add few videos into the each channel, but seems not.
3. Make buttons as pictures
4. Option to edit channels and their name
5. Unicode titles
6. GUI looks a bit confusing on first run. I don't know what the problem exactly... For example - "Channel List" button should be on the same side where the controls related to channels placed
7. What the sense to keep channel list as html? It can't be edited or changed somehow. And this can't be named "portable"
8. You should implement some sort of checking of the link user adds, because i can add something not pointing to the video and this will be accepted but will not work.

otherwise it looks quite promising, thanks for this app!

Thank you Deo for your suggestions

1: I chose not to start the videos playing as soon as they are added, it was getting annoying.
2: a Television had channels long before YouTube did
3: awesome idea! picture-buttons would match the GUI better.
4: awesome idea again! The User can already replace channels, but renaming them would be nice.
5: Unicode titles... I don't know what you mean exactly but I'm interested in knowing
6: Good point.... I'll look at a better way to "group" related buttons etc...
7: The HTML channel list is always created "on the fly" whenever you decide to view it... try it, add a few new videos and press "Channel list". It will only show you channels you've assigned. I built it in HTML because of the linking ability (User can visit parent video site)
8: I can make it mess up too... the script checks for the beginning of the YouTUbe URL, up to a certain point but it's not 100% this way. Any suggestions on how to verify the URL?

...always open to suggestions, thank you very much

no problem, i'm always rich on suggestions, lol
under unicode titles i mean that if video has non-english title, it will not be displayed correctly
i can assume that if you'll download the page URL points to, it will be easy to determine if it contains video by parsing it. May be there is an easier method, i don't know... You may also get an original title form it as well

i would remove all controls related to channels and replace them with one TV/LV - this will allow user to easily see all videos he has and edit titles as well. You may also make a hierarchical structure using this controls. This is my imho, but i think there is no big sense in having 9999 empty channels which is not easy enough to navigate/modify. Lets just say there is "unlimited" number of videos user may add or form playlist from - that will work better.
Next step - if you'll make implementation of search requests, there will no be any need to go on youtube.com for searching something. There also may be some youtube-API you may use ( if it public ) to create a fully functional youtube client easy...
just a thoughts about how you could develop this app further

your question Number #8
someone knows how to check if streaming adress exist (?)
( I have no solution, just ideas )

Thanks guys... I got a mental picture of that channel list.... basically if I took the existing HTML channel list, it could be retooled to BE the channel selector, embedded in the GUI. I could add "right-click" to those links for the title-editing options.
I'm not an advanced coder, my skillset is small... I understand checking a URL for video content in the code, but I'm not sure I understand why it is important to change something that already works. If there's no video information, a message box appears to say so

I appreciate your suggestions, thanks again... anything that makes things easier to use, I'm all for it.
