Odyssey 1.23 progress: r5 RC2

@kas1e

I found that the youtube.js scripts from fab did nothing for me in 1.16 or in 1.23

Very likely I have them setup incorrectly. However I find the youtubecenter script to be excellent. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/114002

@ddni
Youtube-center and EZdownloader works fine for me always too, but, youtube.js just did nothing now too.

I remember when we start to worry with all that youtube stuff, i have the same problems. Then, it start to works at some point (after i update scripts or something), now, its again do nothing for me. And that all on morphos and on os4 port.

Seems we have some common problems somewhere, as it should work.

@kas1e

from my experience with Owb on mos too ... some video form youtube (ex. Vevo music video) need only FlashPlayer or not play at all. Some other don't play on Tablet too because play only on computer browser ...
Some times video don't play because there is the youtube full screen fix ..
For have youtube work at 100% the only way is have the Adobe flash player ... and we know is only available for windows and macsox .

@tlosm

I not about general problems, it all welknown already and fab explain few times why and how it all works.

I am about exactly than link and latest youtube.js , because previously that link with youtube.js works for sure.

Quote:

As Fab explain before you can play _any_ video on youtube, just if it didn't works with scripts you do without, or just do spoof as other oses and it will works. And dunno what your expirience show you, but my one show that i can play any youtube video in odyssey, just now have problems with youtube.js and question about exactly that, not about how to play and what bablablabl omiga !

Its not general question to discuss for now, i need to know why latest youtube.js don't works on exactly that link. I am almost sure it works for fab , and something wrong on my mos-odyssey setup done.

@kas1e
Spoofing as IPAD makes video work/play.

Guys stop making facepalms !:) How many times need to explain to everyone why i ask it ?:))

One more time: i ask not because i cant play that video , i can play ANY video on youtube by that or that or that (youtube-center do it always, the same as ipad)

My question to Fab its EXACTLY YOUTUBE.JS SCRIPT (damny damn !) BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE IT WORKS (facepalm and one more!).

I.e. under vid options, another looks of player, youtube.js !

@kas1e

I had the same problem since i've installed the new 0.94 version availible on the Fab's website, but the old youtube.js 0.93 in your archive worked the first time i test it, try to revert back

@djrikki

..
9) Topsites:// wow really like this.. reminds me of Opera in some ways. However, in Grid mode, the contents of the 'page' need to be centred horizontally. ..

edit 'TopSites_Grid.html' and change (lines 41 and 42):
..
#thumbs { list-style: none; text-align: left; }
#thumbs li { position: relative; margin-right: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; }
..

to:
#thumbs { list-style: none; text-align: center; }
#thumbs li { position: relative; margin-right: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left; }
..

And you will get/see the grid centered. Now if I can manage to make coverflow bigger, lets see..
LATER: only found that changing 'scaleFactor' in 'TopSites_CoverFlow.html' (line 9) makes covers bigger (or smaller).
..
var cf = new ContentFlow('ContentFlow', {startItem: "0", scaleFactor: "1.6"});

@samo

Right ! youtube.js 0.93 version works fine, while with 0.94 on that link nope. But 0.93 have bug when you resize odyssey, so 0.94 was able (as i read on amiga-ng) to fix it, but seems together with fix bring something else.

Also what i notice, is that 0.93 are more than 100kb of size, while 0.94 are just 25kb of size. Maybe somehow related, dunno. But at least we know it is script, and i at least able to test another player.

I see, maybe the file was corrupted in some way during the upload...
In a so small update such different size look strange

@Jabirulo

Right, send the new fixed page to Roman then

@kas1e & Samo79

Please don't make wrong assumptions... I test what i release.

0.94 works just fine on MorphOS (and it fixes that layout issue introduced recently by YouTube).

As for the size, it's perfectly normal it's smaller. I got rid of jquery usage, which reduces considerably the script size.

@Fab
Maybe exactly that link give problems ? I really test on mos new version and on that link which i show can't make it works, while, with 0.93 can (same on os4). Right now play that vid via youtube.js 0.93 on os4 port, but once just tring to remove 0.93 and install 0.94, then fail. Once put 0.93 back, all fine again.

edit: and same on morphos too

@kas1e

So for your information, this newer script handles many more youtube videos since i added signature decryption. The problem is probably that OWB 1.23 didn't support "for...of" js construction which is quite recent (1.24 is the current test version, and it supports all this fine).
And by the way, the issue is clearly shown in inspector or in message window.

Anyway, I modified it so that it doesn't require it, so you can download the new 0.95 version. It does as much as youtube_centre, compatibility-wise, but it's way smaller and lighter.

@kas1e

Thanks for the Oddessy port. I just wanted to let you know that I've had a fair amount of freezes and also a GR while trying to save prefs. I'm using A4000's (so very low memory situations), but usually I still have enough memory but Odessy freezes enough that it is really not usable unfortunately. If I get the GR again during a preferences save I'll send it to you...with the freezes there is no crash per-say, but the mouse pointer is frozen and I have to reboot. I'll also check on serial to see if anything comes up.

@Fab
thanks ! will test tomorrow

@hammerd
yep, seems new bug in our mui : imho it is the same bug which make ibrowse crash , i add that craslog from odyssey to ibrowse crash ticket and will make new one as well

@kas1e

New port is magnitudes more stable and usefull than old, thanks all involved :)


Some situations here.

Only one crash. I have crashlog, if you want it?

Some system freezes. After some use. Maybe low memory conditions ?

Sometimes network gets dead and sites just dont load. Only shutting down/restart OWB helps. Other networking proggies works normally at time when OWB doesnt.

My system is Peg2 G4 1Ghz, Radeon 9250 128bit. Still even 240p youtube video eats processor 100%. Didnt find any solid answer, is that normal? Others speak 30-35% cpu. 360p wideos seems to play full speed still.

If I mark site address and try to copy it with pull down menu, it doesnt work. All other copying works from web side with pull down menu. With pop-up menus address copying works allso. This was same with 1.16 (?).

Pull down menu paste to address doesnt work either.


Anyway, it works pretty well :)

@kas1e

It was not a critics to you or fab about flash player or html5 or something ... the critics is to adobe and youtube who are doing this stupid things (flash player and bla bla) from ages :-/

Edit: just for say how much is stupid youtube ... On macos X ppc the last version of flash player is 10. Many video on youtube dont work with This version of flash player...a guy just change a part in The code for the version of the player ... The version 10 become 11.55 of the player and all the youtube video now works on the old g4 and g5 in 1080p too

@Fab
0.95 works fine, and layout also fixed, cool ! Through, as far as i can see , "autoplay" option didn't make vids be auto-played (in preferences of youtube.js i have it set to ON). Or auto-play didn't mean "repeat" ? In youtube-center there some tasty feature like "auto-play", and once vid finish play, its start again and again.

Yes, and steps how to reproduce it are 100% need it (i.e. what you do, when, how and co).

Quote:

Dunno, never seen that. Only what i seen that if sometime something didn't loads, i need do reload and all fine (but imho also related to connection). Same on morphos version as well.

Quote:

30-35% it is in idle state on youtube. When you play vids, you will have 100% cpu loading, and 360 on my peg2 isn't smooth , so i use 240 all the time

Plus, there is 2 different players. One are inbuild html5 mediplayer, another one is Fab's one : Fab's one are faster , and that one will works on half of vids (if you use latest youtube.js from his page, which is version 0.95 for now). Still not perfectly smooth without overlay of course, but closed to ok.

Quote:

Something wrong with your settings, as right now i just run odyssey, go to some youtube clip, then dbl-click on addres to make it be marked and choice "copy" in dropdown menu, and then paste that link to notepad : all works.

Quote:

Seems again something with your setup (maybe badly installed mui, like on top of old one or something). Because right now i open notepad , write there some shit like "aaaaaa", then copy it , go to odyssey's url bar , choice in pulldown menu "paste" and have "aaaaaa" in url string.

@kas1e

autoplay means that the video is started automatically, not repeated.

If you want repeat option it's available in builtin HTML5 player anyway, just check it in the context menu.

Quote:

This 35% idle state is only on main page, not the other ones (videos ones).

Just to be clear, the two players are using my player anyway, it's just that HTML5 offers a default player, that can be customized with js/css like Youtube does, and it can make it slower with scaling/js overhead.

Also, i'm not sure what you mean with half the videos work with the builtin HTML5 mode. They all work, when Flash replacement has to be done. It may be more than 50% of the time (there are still many videos not available as HTML5 yet), and if HTML5 cookie is disabled, it would be 100%, even.

And finally, i insist on the importance of the overlay mode : on a pegasos2, with overlay enabled, playing a 360p video doesn't eat more than 35% cpu (maybe slightly more when buffering from network quickly, but that's it).

@Fab
Quote:

Yep sure, just os4 version not have overlayed player support now, so all users will say "you say 35% when video plays, why i have 100%?". But yep, probably need to point out always that it is like this without overlay and in os4 port only.

Btw, thinking about all that overlay and stuff: if overlay mode of player didn't mean "real fullscreen" , but it mean still window in the odyssey, just a bit bigger and overlay playing , don't it make sense to have just overlay play as defaul (i.e. default window, default size of player, as it now on os4 port, just with overlay), but, when fullscreen is pressed, then real fullscreen, without odyssey window at all etc (like on all those x86 browsers).

Or , if it done like this to have ppls without overlay have it all works at least, maybe it should be like default as it now, then button 'overlay-window' (as it not in fullscreen), and button "fullscreen", which , will be fullscreen (with overlay if found, and without if not found). Will that make sense ?
