Cooliris just launched the new PicLens v.1.6.3 with YouTube compatibility. The plug-in is compatible with Firefox up to the latest beta 3. PicLens’ 3D YouTube search can be accessed direct from the video site, as well as via the PicLens button in your browser toolbar. The selected video can play in full screen or in Piclens screen. Read more at Cooliris blog! |
I installed and tried the new version. I can not seem to find the Piclens toolbar button from YouTube site as above indicated.
The only way to activate the YouTube function is to go Google image search first then hover the mouse on any image search result, click on the little gray arrow on bottom left, this takes me to the Piclens screen, from there, open the top right search window to select YouTube.
Please let me know if it works for you!
Update: Actually it is easier than I initially thought. The PicLens button is located on top right corner of the Firefox browser. Just click that blue arrow to launch Piclens screen
