Odyssey 1.23 progress: r5 RC2

@kas1e

Nope, overlay as default doesn't make sense at all, because it uses the whole view space to be displayed, and you really DO want to see the original page + embedded video by default.

Besides, there are also cases where CSS transforms are applied to the video. Since the overlay mode is just about displaying the raw video, it ignores any postprocessing done to the video.

Or again, there can be multiple videos on a given page. It really can't be default, no.

Another way would be to render the video directly to the given target render rect (be it with overlay or not, it doesn't matter actually), bypassing cairo (which is what i do which the Flash player), but again, it's not perfect either, because it would prevent any postprocessing done to the video too (think about things as simple as subtitles or even rescaling for instance).

There's no ideal way to deal with that, except having a faster cairo.

Just done some further testing -
MacMini 1.5ghz MorphOS 3.5
Odyssey versions 1.19, 1.20, 1.21 & 1.22 all idle on youtube at 25%
Version 1.23 idles at 3%.

Sam440EP 667mhz 1.16 idles at 3% on youtube mainpage.
1.23 idles at 35%.

Something doesn't add up.

@TiredOfLife
Seems pretty strange. As if for me its the same 1:1 on mos / aos4, it mean its the same, but then why 1.23 for you on macmine have 3% and previous 25% , quite strange. Maybe some options disabled/enabled somewhere different.

But by tests, and as fab says, mainpage should eat cpu. My bet its 3% when something didn't works, or didn't connects or in block or something

@kas1e

I think it might be some javascript or some thing,
under settings it should be possible to disable javascript, to check.

I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to preview music tracks, thanks to HTML5 (?) audio support:

@kas1e

Yes, i know this thread is pretty old and yes i know that there will be a new version once a few AmigaOS4 updates has been sent out to the public...but i just had to add tot he thread once more

@ChrisH

...yeah, i was shocked actually
I accidently clicked on an audio file/icon and it played it back, awesome

More than that, today i stumbled over a website where you can print recipes.
I normally avoid clicking on a "Print" button on websites (as it never worked with other browsers before) but it did...it worked, it did print it perfect and should for everyone who has a working printer installation.

So...thank you fab and kas1e for one pretty great browser...can't wait for some more functionality added

I really hope 1.25, even if in beta, will be coming soon :)

+1

Please, please, please...

Yes please, I wish 1.25 too !

@kas1e

Can you please add at least one more Spoofing option for the Browser-User-Agent-String including the text:
AmigaOS 4.1 FE (Update 8); AmigaOne

Or make an option so the Agent-String is custom/editable.

I would be pleased if the mediaplayer bug fixed somehow. Hate all the crashes/freezes :)

@Vistaus
Given how old Odyssey 1.23 is, I'm sure we'd all like to see a more up-to-date version...

Btw, what exactly is holding up development, if I may ask? If money's involved somehow, then I can donate quite a lot to get things moving :)

@Vistaus

yea..me too in the same boat

maybe only kas1e can tell us...

Two thing that I'd like to see is in future versions are that when you restore the session only one tab will load, only one site and then only when you click on a tab. This is how FF works and it makes it faster at startup because of it and also it saves RAM. The other thing is that when I close a tab it doesn't return RAM, only when I quit Odyssey. I don't dare to use it too heavily because of this (not have too many tabs open).

@hotrod

About the memory usage: Webkit caches all memory it uses. It never frees anything back to the system, but if you close one tab and open another, the memory will be reused.

It would be very nice with Load-on-click for tabs when restoring a session though.

@Deniil

Funny I hadn't realized the reusing. I guess I won't quit the browser then if I move from a heavy site to a ... less heavy one.

1.25 is public:
