It’s very pretty and elegant, and seems to be running ok on my iMac G5. I’d rather expected that it would be able to (a) save out flv files from YouTube (like YouTubia), and (b) play (and particularly index) files off the local disk as well as from YouTube. I save everything remotely interesting I see on YouTube because so much of it has a habit of disappearing. And although iPod conversion is a nice feature, it’s lossy compared to just playing the flv files.

First of all, thanks for getting this out to us, but I do have a couple of comments.

When changing from one tab to the next, the window doesn’t change until I click it (even the refresh button doesn’t seem to bring up the content relating to the new tab).

While a video is playing, selecting a new tab does nothing until I close the currently playing video.

After clicking on a video nothing happens for a few seconds before the player comes up. I understand my comp isn’t the fastest and it does take a few seconds, but I’d like a curser change or some other kind of visual confirmation that it is working and I don’t have to keep clicking it thinking it hasn’t registered.

All minor things at this stage; but before long all those extra clicks are gonna get annoying.

I haven’t gotten the iTunes import feature to work correctly. Tubular will either crash, or give me a barber pole progress bar that says “completed” even though it hasn’t, or it will just sit there saying it is preparing (and the X cancel button doesn’t work)

Titles seem to be truncated, and there needs to be more than one kind of view, similar to iTunes. Descriptions should be there, too. (Though I don’t particularly care about the comments).

what about remembering window state when closing the app. This would be key. I don’t like to have to resize the app if I don’t need to

Very nice!
This needs many, many more key bindings. Not just for mouse-less watching, but so I can also make a Remote Buddy behavior for it.
Also, don’t forget about adding Subscriptions into the list!

(Tab to change focus between the left-column and the right column, Arrow keys to move selection around, Enter to start playing the selection, Esc to quit the current video, and Cmd-_ combos for the three buttons in the window. That’s what we need.)
