Odyssey 1.23 progress: r5 RC2

Big *thank you* for everyone involved, with latest beta (beta4) I dared to try Microsoft Office page (office.com that is) and when I use 'spoof as Edge 80' I can login and use Outlook!

Word wasn't working (lacking the toolbars etc.), but accessing work-mail from Amiga is already a *BIG* step... THANKS!

Wich spoof is best at the moment?

@Joeled

The one you need for certain site :) There no "on for all the best". I use just default one everywhere, and where things didn't work tried different spoofs.

@kas1e

I see.

I switched from beta1 to beta4 and my bank website is now working again. Thanks!

I've tested the http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/ video given by Samo79 and i'ts not bad on my Sam Flex 440: I can watch the video. Of course, there is some frames skip but I can watch it. No sound though.

@Petrol
Confirmed that turning off Javascript makes yle.fi to work. Thanks! Hopefully some day JS could be turned on.

I noticed a couple of days ago that Instagram stopped totally to work with Odyssey. I get only an empty screen with a logo in the middle. I have tested all the betas and also the MOS version of Odyssey, no difference.

Any hope to get it to work again...? Odyssey was the only way to watch them in Amiga as all the PPC Linux browsers have currently the 'reversed colors' problem with Instagram videos!

@Gregor
I fear if sites stop working while working before, it only mean they move to newer standarts which our old webkit core didn't support. You may try to Spoof like ipads/iphones/wii/etc, or be on hope someday somehow updating of webkit core in our browsers will happen. But that all not very promising, yes.

Odyssey 1.23 r5_beta05 - AmigaOS4

-- fixed memory leak in ac_free_video_decoder done by Piru on "acinerella" (FFmpeg wrapper simplifying work with FFmpeg: https://github.com/astoeckel/acinerella/)
-- for time being use back static libavformat.a instead of shared version till proper changes will have a place (that to avoid crashes in ffurl*)
-- debugging: added cross-platform D(bug("...")) define (see Base/debug.h), thus on OS4 always use DebugPrintF() instead of kprintf() and get rid of Clib2's libdebug.a
-- get rid of libaos4deps.a, which contain sttcpy() and DoSuperNew() realisations, those functions now in separate object.
-- updated youtube scripts to the latest ones from Fab's page.
-- get rid of CyberGraphics everywhere in favor of graphics.library (c) Capehill
-- added support of compositing video in fullscreen mode. You can have as many videos in different tabs as you wish in fullscreen, not just one as with overlay (be it P96 or CGX5). Also fixing some bugs in MediaPlayer while adding compositing video (c) Ami603 with help from Hans & Capehill.


There is a video in action (different videos in different tabs in full size)

https://youtu.be/5eDtdwORaC0

It can be seen that currently because of "Exclusive ahi usage", the only sound from one instance of MediaPlayer comes (or from any other ahi based app). Hopefully, that can be dealing with soon as well.

!! NOTE !!

Be aware! To have fullscreen working on YouTube, you have to go to Window/Scripts preference, and add there "YouTube_Fullscreen_Fix.js". Be sure it "enabled". Then exit and run the browser again. The script should be a NEW one, from beta05. A not the old one. That will overwrite youtube stuff on the fly, so our inbuild MediaPlayer will be used.

!! NOTE2 !!

You should fully copy the "Resource" directory at least from beta05. Because there for first new youtube scripts, and for second some changes were done in images for MediaPlayer to fix some issue. Better just unpack beta05 to a fresh location, but if you on your own, then binary + full Resource dir is a must.

That to all involved!

@kas1e

Excellent work to all inlvolved ! Donations are on their way (tonight or tomorrow ).

Excellent. Trying beta05 now.
Massive improvement over previous releases. Well done and thanks!
When you say Fullscreen, I was expecting the whole screen to be used. What I see is the whole Odyssey window used? This is same on your video. Is whole fullscreen possible?
View - Fullscreen (F11) helps, but tab title and media player status bar still visible, can these be hidden?

@ddni

It's like that, as on MorphOS version.

For real almost real fullscreen - f11, yes.

If you press in that "fullscreen kind" mode middle mouse button, then mediaplayer control will disappear, and only "tabs" at top will be stays. Maybe, it can be idea to hide tabs as well in this case.. If possible of course.

@kas1e
Nice, middle button helps. Having tab titles hidden too would be ideal. Thanks again.

Hi kas1e,
Thanks for the version just released,
it's even faster, thank you very much.
I would like to ask a question I tried the fullscreen,
but perhaps it is asking too much for those like me who use an emulation and the resolution would be high without having a dedicated graphics card.
I activated to make the "composite" work in the "GUI" preferences and added the "fullscreen" script as recommended by you in Odyssey.

For me the only way to make it work is to use "PatchCompositeTags" to activate the fullscreen

In this case I would probably ask if possible, if the author of Patch Composite Tag can do something about it because the screen remains black even if the sound is heard perfectly.

It is probably a strange request it would be possible to implement it in some way so that the video can be viewed full screen with "PatchCompositeTag"



For the rest, I'm very happy, that's okay, even if it can't be done.

Thanks again.

@white
That you need to write to author of PatchCompositeTag , maybe he can add some fallback for os4's video compositing to the x86's real hardware (like QuarkTex emulation do back in past with warp3d).

@kas1e
Thanks for the reply, and for the advice.

@kas1e

But the composited mode works only in full screen when you click on the roght icon or works in normal little window too?

@sofistisoftware

Only in fullscreen (as on the MorphOS version with overlay).
