Re: What programs do you regularly use on your AmigaOS 4 system?
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Hey tekmage,

My collection of apps breaks down as follows:

All of the time:
- ARexx
- Shell
- AmIRC
- IBrowse
- SSHTerm
- AmigaAmp
- rVNCd
- SMBFS
- rnoXFer
- AOrganizer
- Notepad
- Multiview

Every day or two:
- Unarc
- AIOstreams
- YT.rexx
- MPlayer
- FFPlay
- unreleased YT search script
- Finalwriter
- AmiPDF
- PDFtoolkit.py
- Multiviewer

Weekly usage:
- ImageFX
- Mediavault
- Ignition
- Pagestream
- Gnumeric
- Abiword

Occasional usage:
- Codebench
- Cadepad
- DeepL tranlator
- Oddity
- Netsurf
- ADRipper
- Cranu
- ADripper
- PicView

Of course there are so many other miscellaneous things I use even more
sporadically and things I honestly don't get the time to play with.

Geez, I keep stumbling on thimgs with the OS I haven't played with yet!
Anyone customized their ENV:ContectMenu.cfg/ ??

Thanks for opening up the testing on this! I just tried it on

Re: Mac Emulator Basilisk II
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Hi all,

I've had Basilisk booting for a long time off a MacOS 7.6.1 system hard
disk file I used to use with Shapashifter. I'd imagine there are examples
of the installed images floating around the innerwebs.

For the sake of performance and saving the source images & Amiga drives,
I've long run a script that copies the MacOS system image to RAM: before
running Basilisk (Mac/Basilisk crashes can kill your image file(s)).

I saw a comment I didn't understand about not being able to specify
volumes... I've got the System (in RAM:) plus App and Data volumes
specified on the "Disk" tab in Basilisk and they all seem to appear fine.

Unfortunately, I've never gotten "shared directory" access to work without
a quick visit to the Grim Reaper.

AFAIK, no version of Baslisk has ever engaged the ethernet support that
Shapeshifter had. In Shapeshifter I used to run the "VLink" virtual
ethernet drivers pair to get flawless net access. While Olaf tells me
VLink should work out of the box with Roadshow, Basilish does not seem to
use it.

Without file or net access to the outside world, there's only so far you
can go with Basilisk. I really wish the development had gotten it to
maturity. Any chances?

Thanks,

Re: Amiupdate servers?

Rigo's comment is as I recall.... You don't need to create the
SiteFile, just make the server entry and AmiUpdate will ask
you for the login and save it to the SiteFile for you.

Good luck,

Re: Strange crash with ARexx and RexxReqTools on Amiga OS4
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


@FlynnTheAvatar

ah, OK. Trying to make an ARexx script that will work in both
OS4 and OS3? An interesting challenge...

I just don't recall if there was anything like the OS4
requestchoice/requeststring/requestfile commands in the end
on OS3. Maybe they backported them in OS3.2 ??

If they were available, that would simplify things - to just
use a simple command line command to do what you want on both
systems.

Otherwise, you could check the system version at you script
start and then use whatever method best suited the system your
script was running on.

Well, good luck with your hacking!

@FlynnTheAvatar

Hi,

I was just wondering...

It looked like you were just creating a simple string requester.
Were you trying to do more then that?

Were just that, why not simply use the c:requeststring and avoid
the pitfalls of relying on a 3rd party library?

Curious,

@hotrod

Speaking of uncalled for....

Here people are trying to be constructive and walkero was just
posting on the code in the script that appears to download
videos for playback.

Are you sure you're on the right website? Maybe you should go
to AW.net to post comments with attitude like that??

Thank you,

Re: How To: Video Streaming (Odyssey / IBrowse)

Not too shy to talk


@K-L and all

Please bear in mind, playing YT videos on an Amiga is a constant
battle against the dark powers of Goggles... They hate Amigas.

I've been working through new goggles issues with Mick and
they are trying to complicate video playing even more than ever
before. :/

FWIW, last weekend I was doing some testing and found the
"ANDROID" mode of playback with YT.rexx v3.1 still gets me
playable streams. Maybe Mick can come up with a better
solution...

As such, I suggest you change your YT.rexx autoplay arguments
to:

YT.rexx [STREAM URL] android silent autoplay

...that's been working for most everything for me.

Regarding the skips and glitches I saw people mention, you
might try the latest MPlayer (on OS4depot) in lieu of
Emotion - it seems to be better suited to streaming media.

Good luck,

Re: NetSurf 3.11 has been released!
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


@Chris

Thanks for the latest couple releases!

While both (10/1 & 10/4) builds still complain about the
guigfx.lib at start up, both of them now are loading most of the
pages linked on the NetSurf "home" page.

I say "most" because, as others reported, just clicking on the
google link, froze up Netsurf with "loading" in the bottom
corner.

I also found that while the ArsTechnica main page loaded,
clicking on a link in that page also resulted in the same
frozen "loading" state.

in both cases, I didn't see anything appear over the serial
port reflecting a crash, etc.

I hope this helps.

Again, thanks for the updates!

@Chris

Thanks for making the new 9/12 build. I just installed it on
my X5K and tried to run it.

As usual, it complained about requiring guigfx.lib and then
opened its window.

I clicked on the Slashdot link on the home page. It said
"Fetching. Processing" at the bottom and that was it.

Now it appears to be locked up. Entering Amigans URL doesn't
cause anything more to happen. Trying to quit doesn't work.

I see no GR and nothing on the serial except for this line:

[dVerify] verify timeout: Class=0x00002000 Code=0x0001 Window=0x66B8A458 Title=Welcome to NetSurf Name=(null) IMsg=0x669EB6B8

I don't know if that helps you any. Please let me know if
there's something else to test.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Re: Sound over USB speakers

Quote:

So in other words, you need to make a AHI server/driver, that USB driver can connect to.

IIRC one of the problems is that AHI (by its design) expects audio hardware to be physically installed at boot time, for the AHI driver to recognize it. This is not the case with USB audio hardware, which can be plugged in any time.

@trixie

EXACTLY!

@LiveForIt

heh

I ran it from the Workbench, in the directory with the new
build, double-cicking on the Netsurf icon. No APPDIR: muss
or fuss involved.

All in all, as a decades long betatester, I rarely rely on
APPDIR: for my app paths. I want to know exactly what I was
running and from where!

Thanks,

Re: Sound over USB speakers

Not too shy to talk


IIRC, a big problem with USB audio is its transient nature.

All advanced Amigas (and imitators) seem to rely on AHI (or
something like it??) and as I understand it it, AHI has no
provision audio sources/destinations changing without reboots.

IIRC, LyleHaze came up with a number of USB audio hacks over the
years, but the transient nature of USB made things touchy at
best.

So it's not that small a job for it ork well, AFAIK.

@Chris

Thanks for posting the URL to the new build of NetSurf! I
installed it into a new directory and fired it up.

Unfortunately it's still asking for the GuiGfx.library. None
is installed.

After OK'ing to that, the NetSurf window came up. But like as
others reported, attempts to load pages off the internet all
resulted in "Error occurred fetching page" - but then everything
I tried redirects to HTTPS links.

I did try a local webpage generated by YT.rexx (that's obviously
NOT https) and that loaded fine, but without the thumbnail image
(probably a goggles HTTPS link).

I hope all this helps you chase down the GuiGfx & https bugs!

Thanks again!!

@zerec

Congrats! you are NUMBER ONE! The first person in two
decades (??) I've seen able to make iFusion work.

So many questions....

Was that on just your A4K 060/CSPPC or have you ever gotten it
to work on a NG machine?

Where did you get the magical v16 Warp lib from? Is it still
available?

When it ran, was it really stable, usable and did it take
advantage of the host machine's powers - memory, higher res,
higher palette depth, network, etc?

Please let us know how things went.

Thanks,

PJS
