HUDTube Video Player for YouTube and Vimeo App Reviews

I bought this application to stream youtube into airplay, the function that was present in previous versions, but now removed. Without it the application is useless

Purchased the app, tested with a Vimeo.com link, and the error reports it is unsupported. Vimeo support is the key feature to this app. Don’t waste your time on this, folks. Poorly maintained with zero functionality.

paid $6 for the app and the only thing you get is the little "drag movie here" screen. I dragged a movie clip into it and it played it. you can make the screen bigger but all the drop down windows and toolbars you see on the ad are not there including the one associated with the drag movie here black square. very disappointed!

A better way to view videos and less flash usage = More battery life and cooler laptop!

This is a app that I dreamed of, no joke. I give it 3 stars because… - The play/pause is laggy - Top bar with close/minus/max stays for to long and sometimes gets stuck there - When I hover over the video it does not show the bottom bar with time left for video and play/pause button. - Also we should have an option to have the icon either in our dock or menu bar both is very crowded and seems forced. Otherwise it really is a wounderfull app, and has potential, if the developer wants it too.

Nice little app to have when youre trying to have a little background music while working efficiently.

As a programmer I usually use xcode, iPhone simulator and other cpu sucking programs like photoshop. This online video client dont really take up any cpu power. I recommand this program for everyone, plus you can set it to transparent so you can put it as a background when you are at work.

This app is very useful, but cant you update it :) like the function to delete inbox the video which we dont wanted.

I could have rated it 5 but there are couple bugs which need to be addressed and fixed * full screen automatic next in playlist(had to switch to small screen to do that) * 2 videos playing simultaneously in full screen when you go to next video.

absolutely love this app. so helpful. i love being able to watch my favorite videos in the corner of my screen while doing homework :D i would rele appreciate it if it did not delete the videos from my playlist if i click on them while i am offline.

Great app! Just wish I could delete items from my inbox. Its getting kink of cluttered. Id also like to be able to download the videos for offline use.

Complete app. But: more fast presentation video.

Overall, I am really impressed with this app. Small memory footprint and works as advertised… My only caveat is that you cannot move or delete videos from the Inbox… Please add this feature to your app, and Ill gladly give it 5 stars... [USE @ YOUR OWN RISK] Found workaround to (re)move videos from the inbox [USE @ YOUR OWN RISK] I figured, the inbox list HAD to be somewhere… found it in my user Home folder ~/Library/Application Support/HUDTube/Library.plist The Library folder is hidden… I used Terminal to get to & open the (plist) file… [Make sure you QUIT out of HUDTube AND make a BACKUP of the plist BEFORE you make any CHANGES] I have a little programming experience (BASIC) and have xcode installed on my mac. I opened the plist file with xcode and was able to make changes to it which removed the videos from the Inbox BUT left them in my custom playlist… You can find the inbox (plist opened in xcode) by expanding the Key playlists then item # entries and looking at the name String for the entry "Inbox" (mine was playlists…Item 0) You can remove items in the inbox by, well…deleting String entries inside the items Array (its all labeled in xcode). [not confirmed] It appears that (inbox/playlist) entries correlate to the (Key) media…Item #…mediaID NOTE: It seems you cannot delete the Inbox, it will just recreate itself on the next run… This is (technically) a good thing since that is where any media you drop defaults to anyways… It would just be nice to natively delete entries within the program… Figured I would share this…but...I have not tested this extensively enough to know it wont cause any problems… [USE AT YOUR OWN RISK] But, if you just want to clean out the inbox and arent intimidated by xcode, try it out… It (HUDTube Video Player) is a GOOD program… it just needs a little tweaking...

I downloaded this app b/c I needed somewhere to store a bunch of videos that I love. Its super easy to use & really helpful. I also like the transprency. Definitely recommend this app.

It seems A lot of the gripes re:playlists seem to have been addressed in this latest update, and Im using it quite a bit now! You can drag-and-drop between playlists, delete from playlists, and rearrange playlists easily, making it a great way to create and manage video playlists seamlessly from a mix of several online sites and locally-stored files you might want to add. So it definitely seems that the developer addressed the playlist issues previous reviewers had. As with the previous version, it uses much less memory and CPU than Adobe Flash, and video playback is smoother than HTML5 or Flash, and also works better with multiple monitors and desktops. No more exiting full-screen when you go into mission control in Lion! Only think missing that I would like to see is the ability to drag-and-drop a video onto a specific playlist in the Playlists Manager. Excellent app, and thumbs-up to the developer!

you cant delete videos from a list :/ a playlist u have to erase the whole playlist :/

It would be a good feature to keep the screen from going to sleep or turning on the screensaver when HUDTube is playing so when watching things it doesnt turn the screen off. Other than that, I love it! :D

Not very happy...

This was a great idea with version 1, and now its getting really polished. Essnetially, its a "read later" tool for video. If handling text this way has become a comfortable part of your flow, this will fit in very nicely. It wont take long before you realize that its an essential bit of kit. Its a really solid piece of work.

Video stops after a few seconds, very very annoying. Defeats the #1 feature for this app
