Odyssey 1.23 progress: r5 RC2

@K-L

Thank you for clarifying the matter. When the media player thing popped up I usually could dsi my way around it maybe like 10 times before I couldn't. Now maybe a single time if I'm lucky. The overall feel even in js heavy sites is that it is more stable - until it isn't, and I mean I have fewer chances at recoverability (trying to free memory, getting over dsi, etc).

@Raziel

Turning off javascript made no difference.

As a point of interest I can eventually get existing images from the blog to choose from to insert with Blogger under Odyssey Patch 7 if I wait long enough (takes a long while to appear and cpu hits 100% for a while). I can then put them into the blog ok.

However the upload image button in Blogger post editing does not work at all no matter how many times I clicked it. So I can't upload any images to blog posts edited in blogger under Odyssey 1.23 (Patch 7).

Hopefully there is a fix for it?

Catcha,

@Epsilon

On postimage.org I am able to upload, while on Facebook it changes from time to time. Perhaps it is also related to changes in code on those complete platform sites?

@Epsilon

switch off Adblock and you should be good to go.

and yes i know, makes not much sense. It did not work on my old blog design/frontend for uploading before i disabled AdBlock..

In my new blog i have fixed all these things ;)

I just want to say thanks for those working on Odyssey, yes it's faster for some reason and that sites like youtube are working (login) is great :) .

@kas1e

Thanks to you and your time for continued work on this. Its probably the most important os4 project atm

Odyssey is no-longer able to reliably open BBC news articles, such as these:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/35560484
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35566480
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35571793

After some time it usually opens an error window saying "Error 52: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)." Occasionally it will seem to download a MB or so, and then fail. VERY occasionally it will actually successfully open the page, but so infrequently as to be useless.

This happens with with the last official release, and the last test version ("v7").

Note: NetSurf v3.3 has no problem opening the exact same pages!

@ChrisH
Just had to try them as I use Odyssey everyday to read the BBC news website and had no problems this morning so using the latest version here and all three of them pages opens ok, tried it a few times and worked everytime.

@ChrisH
No problems here with V7

@ChrisH
Works here too, though I'm using the URL settings window to spoof as "Ipad" and am able to play the video in link two, and audio in link three.

@ChrisH
I just tried your 3 links with Odyssey V7 and all 3 pages loaded fine except for a warning on the videos stating that I need to D/L a flash player to view them. Each link opened in a new Odyssey tab. I'm using the default spoof settings. Maybe you have a settings issue?

EDIT: The first link did take an abnormally long time to load.

It works great here...

@ChrisH

No problem here in Gloucestershire. although I have seen that error message before but usually at peek times. I suspect it's odysseys' equivalent of IB's 'Page timed out'.

I see those messages more often in the evenings, weekends and the dreaded school holidays when every kid is streaming video 24/7.

@ChrisH

No problems here with those links and v7 Chris.

@all
OK, looks like some problem at my end (or my ISP). Sorry for bumping this thread with irrelevant stuff...

EDIT: Deleting all my bbc cookies fixed the problem. I have no idea why!

Can you please try uploading to the internet archive? I tried to upload a paper in ODT format and couldn't.

holy mac thansk kas1e et all! I'm late to the game with trying out this latest Odyssey

@ kas1e

can you please change the name of the thread

Would it not be worth publically/officially releasing the last Odyssey beta? Seems to work at least as good as the old version?

@Chris
If it works fine and everyone agree with, then why not. Through i was in hope add one more little fix, but that not so important as memory-fixes done above, so why not ..
