FlashPlayer with MPlayer and a browser

I just came across this this link and I can see that it is possible to use MPlayer as an embedded Youtube player under Linux.

Would it be possible to do the same thing with AmigaOS 4.1 ?

@K-L
It uses greasemonkey. Means the content the browser receives is rewritten on the fly: download links to the actual files are added to it(sort of embedded flayer/youtube-dl/and maybe tubex).
Some plugin api should exist to allow such operation.

@Jack

So TimberWolf will be able to do it

@K-L

You can use ClipDown to play/save Youtube videos (via Mplayer/Getvideo) with OWB.

@K-L

yep..fingers crossed we get TimberWolf soon when the X1000 comes home

@RacerX

Yeah, i know, you already said it elsewhere and i'm using it every day and this is not the point of the topic actually.

@K-L

It's also possible in OWB actually. WebKit indeed has userscript functionality, which does the same as greasemonkey, except a script manager UI has to be written (to load/remove scripts and so on).

I just tested that script in OWB, and besides a minor modification to use HTML5 video first instead of x-mplayer plugin, it rewrites properly the youtube page.

@Fab

so, does that mean you'll include it in the upcoming 1.8 version? ;)

@Vulture

I'll probably implement a script manager (greasemonkey like), and then one can run whatever userscript he wants, yes.

@Fab

great news!
