Seesmic Video Preview plugin updated to 1.0.0.2

Just a quick update, I updated the Video Preview plugin to version 1.0.0.2. It was leaving out the underline “_” character when they were used in a YouTube URL which was causing them not to show. Of course, this is the second time I’ve had to fix this issue I promise I got em both now….

Videos not showing in the dialog in the Seesmic Desktop Video Preview plugin

Just a quick mention about a problem a few people have had when attempting to view the videos in my Seesmic Desktop Video Preview plugin. The users will click the video and the dialog will open to an empty box. This happens when you don’t have Adobe Flash player installed for IE. The dialog box that shows the video uses a Silverlight WebBrowser component which is actually just a IE-wrapper… so if you don’t have Flash installed for IE or you have it disabled in IE, the videos in Seesmic won’t show…. so just fix your IE and you’ll fix your Seesmic

New Project – Seesmic Plugin Video Preview (view Youtube and Twitvid videos in Seesmic)

So I just completed my second plugin for Seesmic Desktop. The Video Preview plugin allows the user to view Youtube and Twitvid videos where links are posted without leaving Seesmic. Now, there’s a preview thumbnail of the video shown at the bottom of the post in the timeline and, which the user clicks it, a dialog will be show allowing the user to view the video. You can read more details here about the plugin or just dive in and download it here.

Let me know if y’all have any problems with it!

New project – Seesmic Plugin for TinyURL.com URL shortening service

I’ve been a user of Seesmic desktop ever since it was announced and released around PDC09. I found it to be an amazing Silverlight product and honestly, with the recent new release of v2, it’s a great Twitter and Facebook application to use. I saw Tim Heuer‘s work around plugin development for Seesmic and wanted to give it a whirl so I cooked up a very easy implementation for a URL shortener plugin using the TinyURL URL shortening service. I provide both the plugin binary file itself and the source code here.

I hope this is just the beginning of a lot more meaningful plugin development for Seesmic… I love the software and the SDK for plugin development is awesome as well!
