Re: NetSurf 3.11 has been released!

@Chris

Hi Chris!

I just emailed you a capture from the shell as requested as well
an old Snoopy log and several serial logs on crashes.

Please let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks,

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

@Chris

Hi Chris,

I deleted the user/-name-/choices file and tried the test v3.12, build
03.01.2024 posted here, but Netsurf is still asking for guigfx.lib all
the time.

Specifically, when I started Netsurf choices-less I was presented a
screenmode requester, as soon as I selected a screen, the guigfx.lib
complainer was revealed underneath. As soon as I clear that, the Netsurf
splash window disappears and a new screen with Netsurf appears.

On restarts, I always see the guigfx.lib complainer. I tried setting
NetSurf to run on my 32bit Workbench (preferred), but still everytime
it also complains about guigfx.lib when starting on the WB.

I tried that Netsurf install on my X5K on some simple webpages with little
or no javascript and it seemed to work fine - very quickly even. I tried
a bunch of Amiga sites that loaded great and most of the time Slashdot did
too.

But everytime I entered Wikipedia's URL (http or https) or any heavier
JS sites, I just get "Fetching. Processing." and Netsurf is hung - totally
unresponsive. Close gadget doesn't work. Ctrl-C in the shell doesn't
work. Often it locked up my X5K.

I captured a number of crash and serial logs of the crashes in case you
want them. Please let me know.

While I did have Netsurf running I noticed a few other things...

- "snapshot window" doesn't actually snapshot - the window location is
not saved in "choices" until the menu "Save Settings" also selected.
Shouldn't the "Snapshot" menu do that job alone to fullfil its label?

- quitting always shows this in the console:

***Command 'NetSurf' returned with unfreed signals 01000000!

Meanwhile, the v3.11 build has been running pretty nicely on my vanilla
OS 4.1 FE update 2 SAM460. No further operational comments at the
moment.

Thanks & Congrats on a nice job!

@Chris

I did a couple installs of the new NetSurf... Interesting...

First, I put 3.11 on my X5K with an out of date beta system and
it did as others have reported... It complained about
guigfx.lib and could find no websites.

I installed the latest 2005 guigfx.lib package and that made no
difference. It seems like the complainer for that in Netsurf
is barking up the wrong tree.

I also tried installing the v3.11 on my vanilla 460 FE2 system
and it installed fine. No asking for guigfx and it was able to
find websites.

IMPRESSIVE WORK ON THAT MACHINE

It ran fairly quickly and did a nice job of rendering a few
parts of a few modern webpages. CONGRATS!

But then I tried your most recent v3.12 test build on my X5K...

I installed it, it complained about guigfx again and it just
hangs trying to access any websites.

That got me to thinking about the installs... In all cases I
ran your install script. It seemed like the installation on the
460 copied waaaaaaay more stuff than was installed on the X5K
with either build.

Is it possible this all is an installer config problem and that
parts are being left out depending on the systems and OS
versions?

Just some food for thought.

Thanks anyway for your work on this!

Re: AmiPDF ?
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Given what it's based on, isn't AmiPDF supposed to be open source?

In theory that would mean the source should be avaialble.
Couldn't any bug fixes be ported from MattyOS back to AmigaOS
for everyne to use?

Thanks,

Yeah, it would be better to see the mouse pointer then to never

How did you disable pointer blanking?

@Maijestro

Hi,

Interesting... I've been hitting this bug with all the previous
builds as well as testing with a soon to be released v6.1 of
FFPlay.

I tried to look at your video but it is not a YT video (as
suggested), it goes to something called "veed.io", YT.rexx finds
nothing and the .mp4 link inside just says "Forbidden by worker":

https://cdn-user.veed.io/render/ec1896 ... e62-9d74-613ff8ac7855.mp4

In any case, the consistent problem is the pointer not reappearing
when the FFplay window on the WB is active and pointer not
over the window.

EDIT:

A friend looked at your video on his peecee and said your video
demonstrates the bug I am reporting... your mouse disappears
at 35 secs, 51 secs, etc. and doesn't reappear till the pointer
is over the FFPlay window again.

So how do you get the pointer back without getting BLINDLY back
over the FFPlay window or BLINDLY clicking elsewhere on the
screen (causing something unintended to happen?)?


Where did you get FFplay v6.0 from?

Thanks,

PJS

Re: SDL2
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Hi all,

Over the years I've noticed this bug with a disappearing mouse
pointer when playing live streaming video in FFplay (using
YT.rexx).

I've been told this is actually an SDL2 issue since FFPlay uses
SDL for its GUI. Anyone notice this or have an idea whether it
can be fixed?

The issue is specifically that when the FFPlay window opens,
after a few seconds the mouse pointer disappears. Understandable.
It stays gone as long as FFplay is active window.

But the only way to otherwise get the pointer back is to try
clicking BLINDLY outside of FFPlay's window or to BLINDLY move
the pointer over the FFPlay window (it reappears briefly) and
then try to click safely outside.

The blind clicking is a really bad thing when you have a WB
full of windows.

Shouldn't the mouse pointer simply reappear if you move the
mouse around even if FFplay/SDL is active? It does not now.
Can this be fixed?

Please let us know.

Thanks,

PJS

@orgin

Thanks for adding the Classifieds area!

I was looking at how to get the area to show up on my home page,
but then I never found that control (using IB) and realized most
of the time I'm not logged in anyway.

;)

But I wonder, why not have classifieds on the homepage?

Thanks again!

Re: the best way to remote use of real os4 machine ?

@Chris

Barrier?

The question is: How hard would it be to port AND who wants to
do it? Is it even open source? (/me knows nothing about it)
Is it peer to peer or do we need a client & server?

;D

@MartinW

Apparently there is a really old Amiga client for a cross
platform keyboard/mouse sharing system called Synergy that I'm
told still works...

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... work/misc/amisynergyc.lha

There's also an ARexx GUI for it...

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... work/misc/asynergygui.lha

I haven't tried it myself.

Honestly, my Amigas are the only machines that are on 24/7, so a
server would be a lot more useful. ;D

Re: NewLib error with Media Player
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Hey guys,

I'd suggest you will have a lot better luck installing the
YT.rexx scipt and MPlayer to stream YouTube.

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=video/misc/yt.lha

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... o/play/mickjt-mplayer.lha

(As far as I know there are newer versions of both in the works)

With those installed, you can add context menus to Ody, IBrowse
and others and reliably stream static and live YouTube videos
with a lot more reliability.

Thanks,

PJS

FYI, AmiVNC is open source.

I've been using AmiVNC for years... Yes, it's slow and highly
dependent on net bandwidth and the efficiency of the VNC client.

It used to work flawlessly with the RealVNC client until RealVNC
"improved" their client. The ChickenOfTheVNC client on the PPC
Mac still works great with AmiVNC (if slower).

There's a slightly updated version of AmiVNC where the color
issue was improved by Broadblues (Thanks!). I'd need to check
with him to spread it around.

FWIW, there's also another (new, from scratch) VNC server in
works that I'd expect will break the surface soon. So far it's
faster than AmiNVC.

Stay tuned.

Thanks,

@ktadd

I don't know why you'd post remarks about a MattyOS bug on the
comments section of the YT.rexx.

Either uninstall MattyOS and run AmigaOS *OR* get Matty to fix
his hack job.

Good luck,

@ktadd

That's a fantastic script!

@Maijestro

Great video!

I wanted to pass along one little hack I had already put in my
start_player script that lets me run streams in a single ongoing
player (instead of starting a new one each time you click "PLAY"):

Where it used to just call AmigaAmp like this:

---
Run <>NIL: APPDIR:AmigaAmp3 "{url}"
---

I replaced it with a test of whether AA had an ARexx port open
and send it an ARexx message to load the new stream instead,
like this:

---
WaitForPort "AMIGAAMP" 0
IF WARN
Run <>NIL: APPDIR:AmigaAmp3 "{url}"
ELSE
rx 'ADDRESS AmigaAmp "OPEN {url}"'
ENDIF
---

Fodder for an update if you'd like to include it in your script.

Thanks guys!

ahh, yes, same here!

If I click on "Popular" or "Trending" then I get the requester:

-----------
There was an error with the returned data.
Please try again or check your network.
-----------

If I search for the name of a station that I know was present,
it no longer finds it.

Probably some server "improvement" somewhere....
