    Thanks for all your efforts! I'll test that when I'm back at my Windows XP computer.

    That's why I thought you were using a static IP. But if you can get a new IP via power-cycling, then your IP is of course assigned dynamically, and you are able to reconnect by different options, a tool, a script or whatever. BTW, my reconnect batch file uses curl.exe.

    I can't reproduce the problem. I downloaded the same video source and assets as yours and it played with my ffplay version 8.2-1568-b355200263-win32-shared. Here is a new basic static build for you to test to see if the problem persists. With the next release both static and shared builds will match, so ffplay will be in both. https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-8.2-2129-0dac41d2e5-win32-static-xpmod-P4.7z

    No. S4OS is supported by Millenium only (and in OEM versions only AFAIK). 98 supports S4BIOS, but enabling this is not the OS task.

    @roytam1: Weird that it works for you and @Skorpios but not me. Serpent 55 always brings up the captcha for me, left-click or right-click, and then doesn't pass the challenge. Maybe it is the user agent that Cloudflare is balking at, as @AstroSkipper suggested earlier. R3dfox also brought up the captcha, but I just pasted the URL, so there wouldn't have been a referer. That's probably why. (I know "referer" isn't the correct spelling, but it's how Mozilla spells it.) Bringing up MSFN in R3dfox, signing in, browsing to this thread, and then clicking one of the links might have worked, but I just wanted to get the file. R3dfox passed the challenge of course. Since my wget batch file is working again, it doesn't really matter to me now.

    the default config of referer policy (i.e. network.http.sendRefererHeader in about:config) should send referer, and from my testing on clicking on link from the post is fine here.

    @VistaLover's suggestion worked My .bat file has been repaired! @AstroSkipper, I didn't say I had a static IP address. I said "I don't really have an option to change my IP address though." Well, that wasn't entirely correct. I do have such an option: power-cycle the router, so it negotiates a new IP address with my ISP. This, of course, would disconnect all devices in the home, so it's not really practical unless I do it in the middle of the night. The IP address Cloudflare sees is, of course, my home network's external IP address, negotiated between the router and ISP. Changing the internal address my PC is using with the router would make no difference to Cloudflare whatsoever. Luckily it's now clear that such a thing isn't necessary anyhow.

    I would never sign up for a contract with my internet service provider that includes a static IP address. My IP address is, of course, dynamic. And I’ve created a batch script that, when double-clicked, immediately reconnects and displays both the old and new external IP addresses.

    On this particular win-7 laptop I have 4 audio-out devices according to the tray sound mixer application. In the mixer, I see a window with a drop-down where I select the device, and in the right-pane are the applications currently running (browsers, maybe VLC if it's running, etc). But I only see these apps for one of the audio devices. I've just paired a bluetooth amp - but how can I select a particular app (say, VLC) to output to it?

    This was triggered by yt-dlp's option --embed-thumbnail. But as I said your previous version 8.1 has no problems playing this video.

    That suggestion works fine here with WGET (the forum's faulty software wouldn't let me put below content inside "code" tags ):

    @Skorpios, no; I didn't think that a right-click followed by "Save Link As" would lead to different results than a left-click, which invokes the captcha. I guess XP users have a way to download the latest version after all. Edit: Just tried it. Right-click and "Save Link As" didn't work for me. I got a 6 kB file. Maybe it's that "referer" Roytam mentioned, but.... @roytam1, all my "referer" prefs in Serpent 55 are at their defaults. A standard left-click on the link brought up the captcha. I haven't yet tried the right-click and "Save Link As." @AstroSkipper, perhaps telling wget to use a Firefox UA along with Roytam's "referer" suggestion might do the trick. I don't really have an option to change my IP address though. I just couldn't imagine Cloudflare leaving such a gaping security hole! @VistaLover, check this out: https://blog.includesecurity.com/2026/06/the-smart-tv-in-your-livingroom-is-a-node-in-the-aiscraping-economy/ Sneaky devils! I don't (and as long as I can get away with it, won't) own a "smart" TV, but I do own a Roku streaming box. I wonder if any of its "apps" are letting folks use my Internet bandwidth without my knowledge.

    Unfortunately I have just installed both of the relevant updates (ntfs.sys and the 872 one) (by install I mean copy the files over for ntfs.sys and run the EXE for the other) and unfortunately the issue persists. Once again, it is just 7. Vista is acting fine now. Seems like I may have to install to fat 16, which I am clueless on doing.
  18. VistaLover
    Exactly! I still keep a portable installation of Mozilla Firefox 52.9.1esr (the last to officially support XP/Vista) for "nostalgia" , and while it's still able to render many sites, it is forbidden to do so because it can't pass/complete CF and/or Anubis anti-bot challenges "protecting" those sites (even old-type ones, like "https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38") ...

    The codecs shown by VLC should be fine. I'm wondering about the format of the thumbnail you added. Maybe an image format that I need to add support for?
  20. roytam1
    make sure your browser/downloader sends Referer properly. or captcha page will show. for wget, you may need to add " --referer=http://rthost.win/ "

    Your signature ("My hobby website") still links to http://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/ (this now, as announced, redirects to https://notxs4all.home.xs4all.nl/ which states: ) ; would you please consider updating that reference, too ? Many thanks for the new mirror, BTW ...

    AstroSkipper ... thanks for the link. I probably would not have found it anytime soon.
  24. AstroSkipper
    https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases You do not need to have an account there. BTW, Codeberg is much better than GitHub.
  25. Monroe
    Any other way to get this download? I am not a member of that group. Why is this not available at the Feodor2 / Mypal68 website? That's where I got version 78.0.2 released in March. I've gone through pages at the site and not really sure what I am supposed to be looking for ... feodor2 or Mypal68. ...
