Mac OS XWell folks, here it is! A WPF-based mini YouTube client app for Windows which brings video content from YouTube data servers right to your desktop. You must
be wondering what could be the best use of this little app when you can actually browse to the YouTube site itself and search/play the content right from your browser? Well consider a scenario where you are working on a PowerPoint or a Word document and you want to catch up on the highlights of the last night football match which you missed or just want to watch some random video while you are working on a document. Sprink fits-in these little scenarios extremely well because it enables you to run YouTube videos outside your browser.
This preview release is just a small fraction of what is going to come in the next couple of months.
Main Window
Video Playing Mode
List View
Oh, and did I tell you that it does 3D View (A la CoverFlow) too?
3D View
Make sure you have all the required software’s installed in order to run Sprink:
- Microsoft Windows 7 Beta (from Build 7000 – Build 7106)
- Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 or above
- .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
- Adobe Flash Player
Features due in for next release:
- Integration with Windows 7 taskbar
- Ability to mark videos as favorite right from the client.
- Support for other video service providers like MSN Video, Vimeo etc.
This is just a preview version. There is a lot more to come in the next couple of months. Please provide me with your valuable feedback and bug reports in order to improve the product.

Great app. I take it that Redmond Pie made it. Are you going to make a browser based version because I am sure that it would appeal to alot of people as YouTube has got so much crap on it.

Great application. Of course they made the app, they wouldn’t post other peoples content on their own site surely? Keep up the good work.

Very good! Very util tool I will use in my pc!
I suggest do the search in a separated thread and show a wait progress… the UI is freezing during the search. (I’ve searched by “daytona 675″)
The web page isn’t displayed, I think it’s a proxy issue
Good work!!

@Ricardo: I havent tested it on Vista SP2 RTM Build. Is it even out? Nevertheless the next release will work with all Vista Builds.
@Shinji: I have already done that
. You will see a huge performance difference in the next release.
@v: This release had some issues on XP. The next release will hopefully be compatible with all Windows versions (XP and above).
@Scholastique: Can you please send me the screenshot of the exact point when the application crashes? It will help me in rectifying the problem.

Wow!!! You are fast
I think windws 7 integration is a very nice feature!
What do you think?
Use these .net libraries

I like the concept of the program,
But the program remains on top when I am attempting to switch programs.
Links in the program do not always work,clicking on search results does not seem to do anything at times.
Pros
The program is a small app which does not require me to use a full web browser to use

@Nayan: What is not installed on your laptop? Sprink doesnt need to be install. Run it directly by firing the executable file.

With Vista SP2 an alert message appears and said :
‘This app is currently supported on Windows Vista SP1 or above and Windows 7 Beta only. For update on this, please visit http://www.redpondpie.com‘
So I have no luck about using this prog which seems pretty !
Please can you advert me when this prog will run on Vista SP2 ?

this is a software i was searching for a long time
i really appreciate it
but i got a few questions about it:
is there a possibility to open the links in the standard browser, which was chosen by the user (in my case firefox)?
and is there the possibility to let sprink -open- a youtube link and play the video? this would be a great option to integrate it in the normal usage of youtube (links sent by mail/im)?
cheers

i got an idea how it would be possible to integrate sprink more in allday-use: how about letting sprink open the youtube links that are dragged onto the window? e.g. form the mentioned im-message or browser-url
got this idea from https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/5709

I just get a 404 message upon choosing a video :[

When will you support for Windows 7 x64?

Seems like a great little tool, but it doesn't work for me on Windows 7.
And i think the mac'ish icons doesn't harmonize with the vista look, but its ok.
Hope i can checkout a new version.
Best Regards.
