Re: New app: AutoPlay Videos
Hi everyone,
We are pleased to announce the release of v2.6.1 now available in App World. This is a particularly exciting release because there are three very cool features:
1. Auto-remember location upon app-restart
AutoPlay will automatically get you back to the same place in your video when you closed the app. This is especially useful for watching movies. Never again go through the hassle of scrolling through and wondering where you left off. AutoPlay will automatically remember for you (thanks to dentynefire for this feature suggestion. it is indeed a great idea!)
2. Gesture support for video navigation
What's more intuitive than using swipe gestures to move from one video to another? AutoPlay now understands swipe gestures and responds as you would expect in both full-screen mode as well as small-screen mode. (Aside: While developing and testing with gestures, we saw how the PlayBook responds with rapid request to switch videos and auto-seek to the auto-bookmark. The observed performance on mp4s several hundreds of MB was insanely smooth -- kudos to RIM!)
Additionally, AutoPlay allows you to use the flick gesture on the video selection view on the left to quickly scroll through your videos. This gesture is velocity sensitive, so faster flicks will move the list faster.
3. Allow entire viewing area to toggle Play/Pause
AutoPlay now recognizes a single-tap on the viewing area as a toggle between Play/Pause and double-tap as toggle full-screen. This makes it really easy to pause/play a video quickly (when interrupted, for example, by a phone call) without fumbling for the Play/Pause button.
More features are in the pipeline including SRT support requested by angkorbeer, but since this feature set is ready we thought it would be good to release it now.
We hope you enjoy this feature set. We truly enjoyed developing it.
Sincerely,
Bumblebee Computing

Sounding more than terrific. Thanks for adding new features to an already unique app.
Re: New app: AutoPlay Videos
One feature I'd like to see is folder support, if I have an entire series in one folder I don't always want to have to scroll past them to get to something at the bottom!
But looks like a very nice app.
Re: New app: AutoPlay Videos
Does this support FLV? Otherwise, I have to convert FLV's to F4V's :(.

The developer has hard coded All, Camera, Download, and Videos folders right now
I also have a mixed series folder. You could search for your series/videos as you don't even need to type the whole name out just search the first letter and it can order that way too. What I do with Breaking Bad is search: bad s05 and select the episode in season 5! No scrolling or looking around. Whats nice is if you just shut down the app and later reopen it the search results AND video are still as you left it. Thanks Bumblebee for this!
