Instead of the “HD” button there’s a new popup that allows you to select SD, HD 720p or HD 1080p as preferred video format.

Sharing

Now you can quickly send a link to video to your friends and followers without copying and pasting it. With the new Share menu you can share video by email, in Twitter, Facebook, or Google Reader (including Google Buzz if your Reader and Buzz are connected).

Bookmarklet

Do you want an easy way to open videos in Cathodique from your web browser? Just put the bookmarklet into your browser’s bookmarks bar (click Cathodique > Install Bookmarklet or go to this page).

When you’re on YouTube, click the bookmarklet to open video in Cathodique. This also works with any page that has embedded video from YouTube (and if there’s no video, it will search for selected text).

It works with any modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc).

Alternatively, you can drag and drop a link to YouTube video into the Dock icon to open it.

Recent Searches

Cathodique now saves your recent searches (and, of course, there’s a way to clear them).

To make user interface less cluttered, we’ve removed “Toggle Search Results” button. The feature is still there and is accessible via View > Toggle Search Results menu or using a keyboard shortcut (⌘B). We ♥ minimalism!

Download Cathodique 1.1 now (or click Cathodique > Check for Updates to install the new version using the built-in updater. ).

Announcing Cathodique: YouTube player for your Mac

We are happy to announce the release of our new Mac product, Cathodique!

Cathodique is based on QuickTime framework, so it uses less CPU power than Flash. It also allows you to view videos in full screen mode (with translucent, floating controls).
