Are you going to add the option to show hidden files in the file browser as well?

Not this time. I will take a look at it for the next update.

Update: Version 0.7-4 is out now

Changes:

• ​Added coverPage playback with live preview
• Fixed dependency missing qt5-qtdeclarative-import-folderlistmodel
• Make live view configurable in settings (default: on)
• Fixed create index on settings database only once
• Added cutes-qt5, cutes-js to dependencies
• Fixed history drawer to show up properly

wow, the coverPage Playback is NICE!!!!
good job bro.

Now i missing my dream feature extract/download/convert youtube music to mp3

If someone gets youtube-dl to work on Sailfish, I suppose the video downloading part wouldn't be very difficult to implement.

it does work, if not out of the box might need python, but worked oob for me (and ll already answered he does not want to rely on third party app for downloads)

I've been waiting for this to arrive on Sailfish since day one!
Thanks a lot!

Some questions/remarks:

- Could you add a setting to not show any info about the video in the live preview?
- Is it possible to make the play/pause icon in the live preview disappear after a couple of seconds but still keep it active? (I'm not sure if this is actually a good idea though)
- The landscape version of the live preview looks a bit strange.

Keep up the good work!

As for downloading it is already included. When you open up a youtube video just press and hold longer on the video to reveal a drawer with two buttons. One to add as bookmark and one to download the video in the detected format.
This should work on 90% of the videos.
I really like to make it work on 100% of the videos. If someone wants to step up and help the yt.js file is the javascript I use to get the correct url and the downloadmanager.qml and cpp for downloading the file. You can find all sources on git.

Yeah I tried to integrate some kind of timer to hide the info after 5 seconds. However my tests there did not work after messing around it for an hour as I wanted to make it clever by showing the info again when video is paused and played again.
But this is definitely on the todo.

I also don't really think this is a good idea. It would be the only app doing that. I don't want to introduce inconsistency.

I took a look and it seems that the folderlistmodel in Qt 5.1 (means SailfishOS 1.0.x) does not support the showHidden method. It is only supported on Qt 5.2 (means SailfishOS 1.1.0.x).
So this will not be coming in the next version at least not if I am not forking folderlistmodel.
Lets wait and see what I come up with.

Update: 0.7-5 is out with important bug fixes for the download manager. Finally every video that can be played back should download fine now.

Also addressed the osd issue in cover view. It now autohides after 5 seconds (when going into coverview or pausing or hit play in coverview)

Changes:

• ​Auto hide osd after 5 seconds of showing when in live cover view (and pausing or playback on cover)
• Fixed download manager to correctly download (yeah finally)
• Fixed download manager to use utf-8 for filenames (yeah üäö in filenames and no more ?)
