New Plugins : YouTube Playlist & iTunes Playlist

Presenting 2 additional plugins to make your app more native and pro looking. The iTunes Playlist Plugin allows users to add a playlist to their app by pulling the music, artwork and purchase music option from an iTunes artist json link. Great for Artists, Bands, Music Fan Clubs ! https://www.buzztouch.com/includes/inc_pluginScreenshot.php?filePath=/var/www/vhosts/buzztouch-demo/public_html/files/plugins/das_sound_player/screenshots/screen-2.png The YouTube Playlist Plugin allows users to add a youtube playlist to their app. List and play videos without leaving your app ! This was created to help provide a professional layout look for youtube videos within BT apps. https://www.buzztouch.com/includes/inc_pluginScreenshot.php?filePath=/var/www/vhosts/buzztouch-demo/public_html/files/plugins/das_video_playlist/screenshots/screen-1.png Enjoy them ! :-) and issues or customisation request hit me up.

Impressive....how do you go about taking your affiliate link out of itunes playlist and put your own? Noticed your linkshare is embedded. If the user follows your directions and not put in their own affiliate link in side the code....you are to gain a pretty penny. Kinda shady....still impressive code though. Perhaps place that in the information packet somewhere. I am hoping more buzztouch plugins do not come out like this that has secret affilate links. Please disclose in up coming packet. Thanks Sheri

you can add // in front of lines 496, 497, 498 or to add yours change the id highlighted with xxxxxx trackURL = [trackURL stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&uo=4" withString:@"xxxxxx"]; its also very vivid as it adds to the logs to show what the plugin is doing.

Sorry for late reply. I just want to know if I could change the styling to how I want. Just want to k ow know how much control you have over styling. Is there an xib file that I can tweak? Is the official iTunes list display an option to you use?

Good lucking plugins! Does the Youtube plugin show the Youtube page before loading or directly to the video as in your screenshots?

thanks mysps, the Youtube plugin will only show videos you add to a playlist example : after you open the plugin to shows your youtube list (only the thumbnail and title) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74407445/Photo%2015-04-13%206%2011%2039%20PM.png view 2. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74407445/Photo%2015-04-13%206%2011%2043%20PM.png view 3. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74407445/Photo%2015-04-13%206%2013%2008%20PM.png view 4. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74407445/Photo%2015-04-13%206%2013%2005%20PM.png it doesn't show like it would on a pc . this plugin is 100% native to iOS

Very cool, very useful stuff, thanks! Will add them to my CP shortly and take a look at the code. Love how native these look. just to be clear - there's still a screen tap involved to launch the video, it doesn't just play when you tap the row? It opens the a mediaplayer view and you have to tap the play button to launch the video? or it starts right away?

Hey aussiedra, Nice plugins. For the iTunes Playlist plugin, your screenshot has a toolbar generated with buttons like share/favorites. However, when I run the plugin in my app I don't see the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, it's just blank. See my screenshot: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D1063566_77067440_85593 How do I get them? Thx in advance.

WallE - FYI that toolbar is a separate SDK from socialize. (see getsocialize.com)

Like the plugin....one question. On the simulator, my playlist is only displaying the thumbnail images -- not any intro description test. I don't see anyplace on the plugin to add description text to the items. Any thoughts on why the playlist description text is not showing up?

I'm talking about a YouTube playlist -- not iTunes. I'm just getting the thumbnail images but no description of the videos. I see on the samples provided with the plugin that this is possible.
