Unofficial iJ – Mobile Blog not working?

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

We are aware that the mobile blog view is currently not working in our Unofficial iJ app. Tonight, iJustine moved everything from tastyblogsnack.com to ijustine.com, so the mobile viewer can’t “see” the blog any longer. We just prepared and submitted an update to the app store, so hopefully it will be approved and available to you soon.

In the meantime – you can use the full “Web” view located on the “More” tab to see her entire blog so you don’t miss a beat 😉

Unplayable Videos in Blog View?

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Video Not Available

If you have been using our iPhone/iPod app to view your favorite blogger’s content, you may have seen this icon before.

Some of you have asked what this means and why it occurs, so we wanted to post a quick explanation. In most cases, this means that the video that the blogger has uploaded is being processed and is not yet available on the mobile platform. You would also notice that if you went to your blogger’s web page or YouTube channel on your iPhone or iPod Touch – you would see the same result.

Please be patient, this does not mean that you will not be able to see the video. When a content provider uploads content to YouTube, they generally upload it in the highest quality possible (usually high definition). YouTube then takes this video once it’s received, and converts it to all of the other possible formats, bitrates, etc. This processing takes a variable amount of time depending on how many new videos were uploaded that day, server load, etc. Sometimes the mobile version will be available in a couple of hours, sometimes it takes a full day.

The beauty of our application is that it provides an easy way for you to share the video. If you find that your favorite blogger has posted content that you simply must see right away, but you receive the “processing” (or “not available”) image above, use the share button to e-mail it to yourself or post it to your facebook wall and then view it on your computer.

Unofficial iJ – v1.2 available soon….

Monday, January 25th, 2010

So – we’re excited that v1.2 of our “Unofficial iJustine Browser and Player” will be available soon. There are some minor bug fixes in this version, however, the most notable changes are as follows:

Minor User interface tweaks (Making the “Share” and “Action” buttons stand out a little more and fit nicely with the application theme.
Search Capability has been added to all of the mobile video screens. The beauty is that the search actually filters only content on the channel chosen. So if you are on the YouTube tab (which is iJustine’s main channel) and you search for “Cheeseburger”, you will only get results matching “cheeseburger” on her main channel. This makes it even easier to locate her content and share it with your friends using the Facebook or eMail sharing options when you press the “Share” button.
We built an entirely new screen for browsing iJustine’s latest store items. This list automatically features the latest 20 items that iJustine has released to her store. You can view large images of each item, and use the Action button to share it with a friend via facebook or e-mail, or even go directly to the selected item in the store via a built-in browser.
We’ve added network status monitoring so that while you are moving – the number of listing results in the mobile video viewers will automatically be adjusted depending on what type of connection you have. If you are connected via WiFi – 20 results are displayed with each fetch. If you are on a cellular connection, 6 results are displayed with each fetch. This has been done to keep the app responsive, quick, and fun to use.
We’ve added a screen for “Dev Blog” – which monitors the very blog you are reading now. That way, you can always stay up to date with common issues, concerns, as well as new developments and features we are working on.

Of course – we always remind you to check the “More Apps” tab frequently to stay up-to-date with what is new from GeekUtils. Stay tuned – this is only the beginning.
