Right now, the default order for playlists is newest first, it was suggested that it would be nice if they could be reversed.. for things like web series where 'Play All' would make much more sense in this regard.

&orderby=reversedPosition will reverse the playlist.

Currently, the reddit feed is limited to /r/videos, it would be nice if the user could customize the list of subreddits they seein their feed, or if they even see the reddit feed at all.

This will enable the DIAL protocol. It appears it is similar in functionality to my current UDP protocol, but a more robust solution, that should be able to use the Roku App on android, as well as the YouTube web player (hopefully).

Provide a batch file for Windows users that loads the channel onto all of their devices,
use cURL to send the zip file.

Searched for 'Encounters at the end of the world', a result popped up, but it required a purchase in order to watch. The app crashed when I tried to watch it.

Shouldn't show videos that require rentals.

There have been a few requests to force HD playback if an HD stream is available, this could be added as an option via the Settings, and implemented by only adding the highest quality stream to the available streams content metadata.

Enable logging in to YT.

Scrolling through individual subscriptions can be a pain, it would be nice if the list could be re-ordered using recently-viewed subscriptions.

This should be saved.

If the user hits 'play' on a video in a subscription (not part of the the 'Play All' feature) it should possibly increment a variable that denotes that it is more often used.

Basic example is the & character

Have moved to Release 1.6.1 which addresses Stream issues with videos.

With Release 1.6.1 there is an issue that after a Video from a playlist is played till end, the App returns back to the Playlist, but after this no other video could be played. Playlist menu selection works but none of the videos from the playlist could be played. One is forced to exit the App to come back to play the next video of choice. In short, the App can play only one video at a time and that is quite a setback.

Further there is another issue that when a video plays and Back button is used to come back to the Menu, the App abruptly closes.

To reproduce the issue please use
YouTube User ID: Ev_o0x3dngcr6ipsli85dA
Then select "Your Playlists"
Then navigate with the right button to "Tamil Songs" playlist
Now play a song in the playlist and wait for it to end.
Once the video ends, try to select another song in the playlist and play it.

I imagine this is pretty low priority, seeing as there is a Vevo Channel for Roku already. I'm not going to dispute that, however it would be nice if the music videos from Vevo worked. Like if I want to show my friend a music video or something, I can just use VideoBuzz instead of wandering around the clunky interface of the official Vevo channel.

Not only that, but there are actually quite a lot of music videos that don't work that aren't waving the Vevo flag around.

Just a slight inconvenience, but it would be nice if they worked.

P.S. By the way, Loving the new update! I especially look forward to playing around with the reddit feature!

P.P.S. Didn't realize this wasn't the "official" version (as in the version from utmostsolutions), sorry if this is the wrong place to post this!

Reddit user inmatarian has suggested that I add the ability to link to videos listed in the description of a video.

Link here: http://www.reddit.com/r/VideoBuzz/comments/23jpyb/feature_suggestion_link_to_videos_listed_in_the/

When using 'Play All' I find that I just want to skip the current video either because I'm not interested, or I've seen it.

It would be nice if you could use a key combination to skip the remainder of the video, something like:

 STAR + STAR + FF

There's an API to be able to search for playlists, given search terms.

Details are here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol?hl=en#Searching_for_Playlists

The current Dailymotion channel that exists is poorly designed. If you're running out of idea for videobuzz, maybe you can create a Dailymotion channel made by a user, for the users?

Sorry if this is off-topic.

The API only returns the first 50 results for queries, add support for more.

Not sure the best way to show these...

Right now, the sleep timer may stop a video if a sleep timer has been set previously and not completely expired, (i.e. set last night for 30 minutes, last video was only 25 minutes long).

This may confuse the user when the next day a video "randomly" stops playing mid play-through.

Just add a simple dialog that shows for a couple seconds that says "Playback stopped due to sleep timer".

The mm_icon_side_hd and mm_icon_side_sd icons were deleted.. create new ones.

Add the ability to track how many minutes have been watched cumulatively.

Make it so that when the user adds a subreddit they typed in wrong, they can select the subreddit on the right side and set the search text to that value, without having to re-type the entire thing in again.

I would like to be able to see the full titles and descriptions of videos. The titles often get truncated and there currently isn't a way to read the full title (This is especially true of the Reddit Videos section). This is the same deal with the descriptions.

I think you could probably add this as a feature through the * button on the remote if you don't want to clutter up the main options (Play, Play All, Show Related Videos, etc.).

The subreddit /r/fullmoviesonvimeo is posting videos to Google Drive, add support for these streams.

This will allow the user to play a video directly from the video list, versus having to open the video details first.

It would be nice if you could easily resume watching a video on another Roku.

Say I'm watching TV in the living room, the program I'm watching is quite long. I pause the video, and go to the bedroom. I turn on the TV, and it will show that I was previously watching "X", would I like to resume?

Technically, it is probably necessary to multicast a query to other devices when the 2nd device wakes up, since it might not be possible to listen for socket events while the device is sleeping.

First I just want to say thank you! thank you! Videobuzz is one of my favorite channels on Roku. As you know the official seems to be broke and not being updated. Thank you for fixing this channel and adding new features. I may consider donating soon to show my appreciation. I hope you keep supporting this channel for a while. Also I cant figure out how the LAN videos section works. Im assuming Im supposed to be able to watch videos on a network share or something to that effect? What is LAN videos exactly and how does it work? There maybe a howto somewhere explaining I may have missed but I cant figure it out.

This would allow you to add other subreddits that you might want to watch. Say /r/videos[1] , or something else.
The first iteration will probably be limited to the 'hot' feed.

Use the reddit.com/r/subreddit/hot.xml feed.

Need to add a custom parser for reddit's API feed. See documentation on the feed options here: http://www.reddit.com/dev/api

The regex to match YouTube IDs is attempting to match against the URL encoded version of the video URL, this should be decoded prior to attempting to match.

Add ability to filter search results based on time/length.

I do understand there are Youtube Videos where there is no stream and hence the warning dialog "Having trouble finding a Roku-compatible stream..."

I tried MyVideoBuzz 1.6 from Protuhj repository & the version from www.myvideobuzz.in (Utmostsolutions) on my Roku2 XS.

One particular video from my playlist works with Utmostsolutions. But the same video throws "Trouble finding..." warning dialog with Protuhj MyVideoBuzz 1.6
I therefore assume v1.6 is broken in some way and hence the Issue being raised.

To make sure the Video in my playlist is fine, I tested it with CodeProject C# YouTube Downloader (http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/323771/YouTube-Downloader-Using-Csharp-NET). The C# based application picks up the MP4 stream without any issues. This confirms the issue with v1.6

The link to my video which breaks MyVideoBuzz v1.6 is below

Add a live stream to a playlist, try to view playlist on the app, it crashes with:

Type Mismatch. (runtime error &h18) in ...AcmBiQt/pkg:/source/video.brs(650)

Add the ability to play HLS livestreams from YouTube.

Regex for &ajax=1 URL:
decoded: file:\s"(.)&ec_rate
encoded: file:\s"(.)%26ec_rate

Currently, all subreddit content is shown in a single view, add the ability to split subreddits into their own view.

With initial Google Drive support added, I found that folders of videos do not work (/r/fulltvshowsonvimeo)

Add support for a very limited (last 5 videos?) history.

The UDP LAN responder could pull from this history as well to respond to your other clients.

Description Here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_retrieving_live_events#Retrieve_Live_Events_Feed

The UDP socket seems to become invalid after the Roku goes to sleep. (Say you turn the TV off over night, but stay in the MVB channel).

The next time you use the app and try to get LAN videos from another Roku, it doesn't get any responses.

Add the ability to refresh the current view with the remote, using the instant replay button.

This applies to the 'What to Watch' screen, as well as the individual subscription screens.

Investigate adding vimeo support to the reddit channel.

The current implementation of the subscriptions channel is laggy, and generally cumbersome.

Fix the lag when trying to load each sub's content as you scroll through them, or change the design of the list.

I haven't found an API for retrieving these yet, but I'm sure one will become available at some point.

Mistake in video.brs @ line 608.

m["PlayStart"] = 0

should be:

m.video["PlayStart"] = 0

It would be nice, if the "watch later"-feature will be included. To me, its more useful and handy than the "favorite"-feature, since its present on every embedded video by just one click on other websites than youtube itself .

If someone posts a link to a playlist, right now it can't be handled. Add support.

Currently, the bitrates for all available streams are set to 0, causing Roku to not necessarily choose the best quality stream.

Add the correct bitrates for these available streams to allow the Roku to stream HD.

http://www.reddit.com/user/minusidea has offered to provide some graphics for a dark theme.

Integrate his graphics with the channel, and provide an option in the settings to choose the active theme.

If a reddit link contains a link to a video with a timestamp, the channel will start playing from the beginning, vs. the timestamp location.

Not sure how best to go about this yet.. basically it will stop playing a video if the timer has elapsed, so you don't waste bandwidth if you fall asleep, or turn the TV off, etc.
