I noticed something come across the wire in my WordPress stats that grabbed my curiosity and come to find out my friends over at Northcode have posted a blog article about my in-R-tube application made with their software (SWF-Studio) and Koolmoves.
Studio is really off the chain and Tim and Dan are extremely talented guys who always go the extra mile for their users. Thanks Guys!

The in-R-tube download is available to all registered forum members right inside the Desktop Forum.

We’d like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We appreciate each and every visit to this website and we look forward to continued support for Koolmoves, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex and SWF Studio in 2010. Drive safe this holiday season, eat well and most of all….keep smiling!
version .4 is in the downloads section 
The .2 version of in-R-tube is available in the source code section. I still have to update the screenshots in the in-R-tube page but the download itself is te new version. See the dedicated in-R-tube page for list of changes.
I love FLV’s, always have…always will. I love services like YouTube that support them and serve them up. I love building things that play them, especially being a Koolmoves developer where handling and displaying things like FLV’s is made childs play. Even most browsers have plugins nowadays that will let you download FLV’s if there is one playing on a page you are viewing. FLV is everywhere and I hope that never changes.
For people who don’t code with Actionscript or a Flash enabled authoring platform however, viewing your locally saved FLV’s can be a pain right in the ass. Oh there are shareware apps that let you but I have about as much interest in shareware these days as I do dental surgery and you can damn well bet the nag screens will drive you nuts. The free 500 pound gorilla called Adobe Media Player will play them but as a Adobe AIR developer myself,I can say you will watch he average computer system crawl to a standstill and I personally can’t stand the application. Adobe sees it as promotion for Adobe AIR, I see it as a shining example of why I don’t code wih Adobe AIR anymore.
Anyway…back to my point…..for me personally I just want a simple FLV viewer that lets me watch what I want, when I want. I want to download new videos I want or heard about through the grapevine and watch them using the same app. I want to have fullscreen ability and no commercial ads or uneeded clutter pissing in my cornflakes. I want to cue up some of my favorites whether I have an interet connection or not and just sit back end enjoy….and if I fall asleep I want to feel the comforting glow of the video screen lighting up the room because it looped through my playlist and kept me company without so much as burping.
The problem is what I want doesn’t exist without me spending a few bucks or slogging through shareware or using one that forces me to install Adobe AIR runtime or overcomplicates what I want. There is a solution however. Make my own.
I’m going to take the basic principal from the last post I made on the subject using the Koolmoves media player and it’s new YouTube abilities and expand upon it usng SWF Studio to create a desktop application. It will do what I want….when I want it to and when I’m done I’m going to post if for download so anyone else who feels that it may be useful can get their FLV groove on too. It will search YouTube…download what you like…….let you cue up videos from your downloads and run them in fullscreen no matter if your resolution is 800×600 or infinity and beyond. It will be simple and to the point and it will swallow all the FLV’s you can feed it.
Yeah…….. Koolmoves and SWF Studio are the right choices for this one. No other platforms will do
