vk.com search, COMPLETELY RECODED in C#! Free MP3 downloader, 10x faster than before! - Meerkat. - Oct 8, 2013

VK.COM SEARCH V3

INTRODUCTION

A lot of people contacted me when my older vk.com search application stopped working (pretty logical if you see the fact that over 2k people downloaded my application).
The old application was horrible. It looked nice but the code looked like shit and the threading was a joke.
I completely rewrote the program and this time I did it properly. I started from scratch and did everything as it should this time (no CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false and stuff like that).

For those who don't know what vk.com search is, it is a desktop client I created for the very popular website vk.com. Vk.com is a social network like facebook, but with the ability to listen and share music. This application plays back those mp3's and allows you to download them in a neat little program. Vk.com is insanely popular (ranked #19 most visited website in the world) in Russia and some other countries but it's pretty unknown here.

To use this program, you will need an account on vk.com. Unfortunately enough, they do require you to fill in your phone number to create an account. They do NOT use this number for anything else other than for checking wether you are a bot or not.

FEATURES
  • Cool GUI
  • Playlists
  • Favorites (synced with vk.com)
  • Downloading mp3's
  • Sorting to bitrate
  • Auto-updater

Here are some SCREENSHOTS for you to enjoy:

The new Login screen. Now I'm using the official vk.com API, making the login window a little uglier but speeds much better ;)

The new main form. See how you can drag stuff arround to your playlists/favorites?

The reworked download form. Progressbars in listviews are awesome.

DOWNLOAD
Here's a download link to get vk.com search: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1v29yi5hyl0v8mt/vk_search.rar
It is possible that the program will ask you to update, this download is the first version I released. Updates will contain new features and bugfixes.

If you want a virus scan, go upload it to virustotal yourself. Don't trust = don't download ;)

CHANGELOG
Code
v3.0.0.2
If you double-click a playlist, a random track from that playlist will now be played
Bugfixes

v3.0.0.1
Bugfixes

v3.0.0.0

KNOWN ISSUES
Code
• The login window flashes. That is because of a very annoying bug in the WebBrowser control. Inb4 hate: I did not want to include extra dll's for a simple login form.
• The download window opens multiple times instead of having all downloads on one form. No idea wether I'm going to leave it this way or not.
• The window sometimes disappears in the taskbar.

HELP ME OUT
If you encounter a bug that you can reproduce, please tell me in the comments (I'd rather not receive a shitload of PM's, I get PM's enough already).
Please be specific, "PLS HALP IT DOESN'T WOARK" is not enough info for me to fix stuff.

Alright, that's it for this thread. Enjoy!

P.S.: I posted this in the .Net section because I'm only releasing a binary, and because the original was coded in VB.Net. The C# section is not visited that often either. inb4 shitstorm 😎

Does it stay like that or does it just flash? If it flashes, "it's not a bug, it's a feature" ;)

Nope just sticks at that one screen.. therefore it's a bug ;)

That's really weird. The white thing is basically just a webbrowser so I can't do much about it... Can you try running as admin / compatibility mode maybe? Might be a Windows 8.1 thing.

I know I forgot about my site, but I don't have access to the servers atm. I'll update it soon enough though ;)

Just tested it through compatibility mode and with admin rights and doesn't work. Suppose it could be a problem with Windows 8.1, it's been messing up my XAML and C# windows app code so I dunno.

Looks great! I liked the old GUI better, but this has much better functionality. NICE

* - Temploit - Oct 8, 2013
