additional Skin options for YT's new videos inside subscribed channels (1 Viewer)

[infinite.loop]

offbyone was so kind to add support for "new videos" inside my subscribed youtube channels in the last version.

this is a realy great feature that allows to just see the new videos in one view, rather than accessing each subsribed channel seperately and look for a new video.

My question now is if it would be possible to allow the skin to display more info of each video in that section (maybe in other sections of the YT plugin as well).

infos like these:

 

[offbyone]

Currently available are:
Title, Description, Runtime, UploadDate

I can also supply these from the API:
Rating, SubcriberCount, ViewCount, WatchCount

Should I use additional Properties or simply put them inside the description text?
Problem with additional Properties: It will take longer until your favorite skin supports them (if ever), and there might not be enough room on the screen to put them anywhere.

for your quick reply!

How about the "Channel Name" as seen in the screenshot of the Iphone in my first post?

I think the perfect solution would be to allow the skin to use whichever info the designer wants to show.
What I would to do is create a local modification for my fav. skin. Maybe other designers will add more info later on.

Not sure if that is the channel or the name of the "Uploader". Because all I have in the API is the Uploader. I don't think every vdeo must be in a channel.

PS: With current SVN of OV, you have a coontextmenu on each video to go to the uploaders channel, if that is what you are looking for

So it must be the uploader name displayed in the first post then. They also only have the YT api.

Nope, what I am after is a view in MP with the info as seen in the screenshot in the first post.

That was exactly, what I was hoping for! Thanks in advance! Quick question: does the Youtube API have any access to viewer comments or anything like that?

The API doesgive access to those:
Reference Guide: Data API Protocol - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

But I don't think I'll put them in properties, because there's going to bve some point where a standalone youtube plugin is better suited for where you might want to go...

Maybe a new option in context menu?

If clicked, get last x comments for video and show them in GUIDialogText. Might be enough for some, unless they wanna comment on the video themselves
