Title: Search Languages in YouTube Theater Mode
Post by: guy.yakobovitch on April 07, 2012, 01:42:28 pm
One thing for a start: I'm Guy, new in here, and a proudly purchasing user of MC17. And this is my first post here  as you can see... :)

How do I add a different language charset to YouTube search in Theater Mode. My native is Hebrew and willing to access content in that language...

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.  I'm sorry, but I don't know of a way to do that.  Can you set a language in Youtube?

YouTube holds content on all languages, only that in MC I depend on On-Screen Keyboard (of only 3 languages English, Deutch, Espanol).

Isn't there a way to add Hebrew On-Screen Keyboard with Hebrew Chars to MC's Theater Mode GUI?

Is there any final answer to my question?

If you like to tinker, you can add a custom keyboard by editing C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 17\Data\Default Resources\Keyboards.xml.

If you do create a Hebrew keyboard, please share it so that we might include it with the program for other users.

Thanks.

I added Hebrew custom keyboard by editing the mentioned file.
I was able to type properly, and there wasn't any problem with the right-to-left,
but youtube didn't show any result, no matter what I typed.

Could you give me an example search string that works at youtube.com but not in Theater View?

Thanks.

few examples:
אהבה
means: love

טריילר
literally: trailer

ראיון
means: interview

for Hebrew presentation using usually utf-8 or windows-1255

The issue with searching YouTube for Hebrew characters will be fixed next build.

If you make a nice Hebrew keyboard in Keyboards.xml, please share.  I'm sure other users would appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.

Should there be an uppercase and lowercase version of the Hebrew keyboard, or is there no need?

In printed Hebrew there is only one set of letters. I included the " ' " which is common at some words in Hebrew.
Yes, it is very simple keyboard... :)
(but handwritten Hebrew is very different)
