Yes i presume this will solve the issue

@kas1e
coool kas1e !

Excellent.

Wonderfull :)

@kas1e

Massive improvement over the 1-2fps seen with TW. Great job!
In real life, how close to 24 or 30fps is the playback?

@ddni

Kas1e you have a pm

@ddni
in window mode its not vere smooth even on 1ghz peg2 (you can see on video). i.e anything less out of question about smooth play in window mode. x1000-x5000 will be smooth enough in 360/480i think.

it can be fine in fullscreen-overlay mode (if card support overlay), but right now when i press on fullscreen gadget im player nothing happens. even dunno how debug it currently.

another problem is that player which on video are ok when video are html5, but when it is not, its for first not all the time do conversion to that another player (but after reloading if page player starts), for second that another players didnt runs for me most of time and give black window, and for third pressing on fullscreen gadget in it do nothing too.

while i have latest scripts still its like this.

NICE!

@Kas1e

Very great Kas1e.

And what a good punk band on the video !

@kas1e

It's kinda obvious the fullscreen button (be it in Youtube HTML5 player or builtin HTML5 player) has no effect on OS4, since you haven't ported the overlay code yet (and it might require significant changes, considering the p96 pip API which seems rather limited). So, again, the fullscreen button won't do anything before the overlay code is adapted.

Also, Youtube HTML5 player needs the youtube_fullscreen_fix.js script for another reason, but i won't explain it since the basics aren't really clear for you yet.

About this "other player"... In Flash replacement mode, when Youtube HTML5 player is not available, the HTML5 builtin player appears, and it works just fine (and quite faster than Youtube's HTML5 player even). So if it doesn't work for you (even on MorphOS), it's most likely a problem with your network or with the Youtube servers you connect to (which is nothing surprising actually). I'm fairly sure about this, because the youtube.js script basically just retrieves direct links (the same way as getvideo or smtube would do) and it creates a html5 video object with this URL as source.
You can see the video direct URL in several places (messages window or contextmenu copy media location, webinspector and so on...). If it doesn't work, it means the video URL returns empty contents, which is obviously not Odyssey's fault.

PS: it seems you have a bug or maybe you forgot to include some data files, because when a userscript is running, a small status icon should appear in the status bar, which is not the case in your screenshots (or you didn't add the youtube.js userscript?)

Of course i add it. How i can even test it all without scripts, if you many times repeat that scripts should be. Of course from very begining those 2 scripts in:

Youtube HTML5 Converter
Youtube Fullscreen Fix

No need to think that i dumbass, i understand from very begining that there 2 scripts. They just do not works for me even on morphos by dunno what reassons: fullscreen in inbuild player didn't works, and converted to html5 videos spawns not all the times. I, as user, only add scripts and nothing more.

Both are latest from your page. Both are downloaded from odyssey (for os4 downloaded via 1.23 port, for morphos via 1.23 as well).

I have add them on morphos as well, and they on morphos reacts the same for me.

Quote:

Of course i have it too, as well latest version from your page, the same on os4 and mos.

When i tried to tick "fullscreen" image in that inbuild html5 video player, it didn't go to full screen on my morphos. I press on it, and nothing happens at all. Its on 1.23 and morphos3.2

Even more, when i just watch video, and then go to ambient and choice "about morphos" , morphos freezes together with video and whole odyssey, but that another story.

Quote:

All datafiles are direct copy from 1.23 morphos (i.e. i just copy whole morphos 1.23 version and only replace there owb binary currently). And, i also didn't have that status icon in status bar on morphos too. Can you show screenshot of how it should be ?

Quote:

From winxp in the same network all works fine, as well as i connect to www.youtube.com as always everywhere and i never have any problems with.

Also, that "converter" script when video is not available in html5 are supposed to not works when you first time go on that video ? I.e. on morphos it happens like this:

1. go to youtube.
2. type "penniwise home sick"
3. choice it
4. it not avail in html5 mode, so we have window "The adobe flash player is reqiered for video playback, get the latest flash player". If we wait there, nothing happens (i.e. its all on morphos).
5. I do reload of that page : nothing happens, still same window.
6. i press on that window somewhere : nothing changes.

While that black window is here, cpu loading are 90%.

So what to do ?

Let's take aside aos4 port now, i just can't get it all to work normally on morphos. Should i set some environments maybe somewhere ? What i need to show you (screenshots, logs) so you can say what wrong ? (through, what wrong there can be, i just add 2 latest scripts to scripts, and quit/run odyssey)

@kas1e

This problems( run an not run video) I have too on my mos machine, and some time with smtube ...but smtube update something (script?) and after work or call to update something update and don't work and ask to update another time . I thing is something related YouTube (kind of protection) . If I use my mac everything there running .

@tlosm
Maybe spoofing will help ? For me the same links from the same local network but from those win-machines works too of course, same as from your mac

@all
Calltips class done by Thore , so auto-fill-forms works too.

@kas1e

yes i spoof , but video working and not working (random)
is not a Owb or Smtube problem but im pretty sure is a YouTube kind of protection.
Now they are able to understand that you are under a spoofed browser . (smtube upgrade something automatically Guillaume probably can help better about understand this)

Example if you run http://html5test.com/ and spoof, it understand you are under a spoofed browser. I think with youtube is the same and apply some kind of block.

I have the same problem of random non playback in morphos, i tried your pennywise video and same issue just blank black screen. I get this issue on many videos in morphos on my Pegasos 2.

I hope you and Fab find a solution... Good luck!

@Fairdinkem

Maybe its something about those ADs youtube put at begining of vids before starting of video, but i think those ad or skipped by scripts, or should be shown the same in html5 ?

@kas1e

I updated to version 1.23 in morphos and I can't full screen videos in youtube now either.

Only some videos will start to play in youtube now but in small screen not overlay full screen.

@kas1e

Look, if the *builtin* player doesn't go fullscreen when you click fullscreen button on MorphOS (assuming there's a video playing), you have a serious setup issue, or you already have a video layer opened in another tab or application. It just works for everyone out there (provided there's overlay support of course), so it's on your side (especially the freezing issue), and i'd just suggest you boot from a plain morphos cd.

Now about Youtube direct links failing, it's very well possible they act up randomly, but again, it's not related to odyssey. That's just Youtube's way, and they might want to protect themselves from automatic downloaders in various ways, depending on videos, servers, time, whatever.

About your particular link ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBtXL9NAPXk ), it seems to be something new they have still not widely deployed, and it seems the point is to have ads even in HTML5 mode. The good news is that if you just spoof as Chrome (with no script enabled) it will work just fine, and you'll get a commercial ad, ...

About the userscript status icon it's like that at the bottom, and it will show which userscripts are running for a given page when the mouse is over the icon:

Window mode



Overlay mode (which can't be grabbed)



@Fairdinkem

I suggest you refrain from commenting on something you don't know about. Odyssey supports HTML5 media just fine (and even better than some other browsers since it supports all codecs combinations).
The problem is YouTube is just not very HTML5 compliant and likes to break its support every now and then. The problem would happen similarly in any other browser as well (FireFox, Safari, Opera, ...), but of course you don't even notice it since Flash is generally used on these platforms.

@ Fab

To what do you refer that I refrain from commenting on? I merely stated I have the same issues as Kas1e to show that the issue he experiences are being experienced by other users.

With regards to it being a setup issue, how is this possible? I have been using it fine on my system for ages and just performed updates as you release them. I even deleted my Odyssey installation and installed from scratch, still the same result can't see what I am doing wrong?
