Picture in picture viewer for DTube and other platforms

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

(For enabling you to verify that I am the author of pip I put "// upvote on steem (iapetos)" into the README.md)

Idea:
I like watching online content (videos) while coding or gaming.
The idea is to create a picture in picture viewer for DTube and other platforms that enables the user to watch online content in a resizable always on top window.

Progress:
The program works with search requests for YouTube (for instance "kurzgeasagt addiction"), with YouTube links and with ifps links (right-click the DTube video, select "copy video-address").
There may be some issues on linux.

How to use (copy of readme.md for non utopian users):
Usage:

  1. Download & open pip_stable.jar (for experimental features use pip.jar) (from https://github.com/leo1200/pip)

YouTube:

  1. copy the link of a video & press start / search requests like "kurzgesagt addiction" are also possible.

DTube:

  1. open the DTube video in your browser
  2. right-click the video
  3. select "copy video address"
  4. paste the address into the textfield & press start

To do:

  1. enable DTube links
  2. press enter to start
  3. make the window bezel-less (take a look at the development branch)
  4. fix linux issues

How to contribute:
Comment ideas on how to improve pip. I will then contact you.

pip is a concept and by no means a finished product.

Why is that a problem?

i have now added a license and a build instruction. Please try out the pip_stable that should work on linux. Revisit my first post... Sorry for the extra work you have to put into this project. If it is still not working on linux check out my DTube windows demo. Thanks for your support.
