I certainly hope so! So that we can nail this d#mn coffin, faking a user agent or client hint is WAY different than "claiming" to be several versions newer on an older engine. THE SUPERMIUM ENGINE IS WHAT IT IS CLAIMING TO BE !!! Plain and simple. TO H#LL WITH TWITCH! Twitch by itself proves NOTHING. It only proves bad coding at TWITCH! IT WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY IF WE HAD A HUNDRED OR A THOUSAND WEB SITES THAT DO NOT WORK IN SUPERMIUM! Let's face it, PERSONAL BIAS is leading this discussion. Not logic and reasoning.

This is not true! Something in Supermium is indeed breaking Twitch. But "do" the same exact thing (once we find out the "exacts") in OFFICIAL CHROME v132 and Twitch *WILL* break also! If Supermium was "not even v126", a hundred or even a thousand web sites would be broken, NOT ONLY TWITCH.

"Is not just a bug, (Supermium) causes overflow in Operating system. it crashed and YouTube request relog 2 times (be careful). I completely uninstalled it (Supermium)" No answer from the Developer for almost a week. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1281 https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/buffer-overflow "Modern buffer overflow attacks often incorporate advanced obfuscation techniques to bypass detection and exploit vulnerabilities in real-time systems. Types of buffer overflow attacks. Techniques to exploit buffer overflow vulnerabilities vary based on the operating system (OS) and programming language." https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/buffer-overflow

Thank you very much for the testings! What happens if you just click on "log in"? Supermium gets an error, as they wrote.

Member, you provided no source to backup your false claim regarding this. No cited article tells that flag disables UDP casting. Besides, it's NOT official, it's some dude over the internet, and even he never wrote what you falsely claimed. We already had a similar user which is now called "Guest". Let's focus on this.

Apart from misspellings, this is simply not true, would I call it "misinformation"? At this point no, I *of course* probably should, but I'm not as harsh as you. Please provide your claim with the source, or ask your restless lemmings upvoters to do it for you. Thanks.

Thanks for confirmation and clarification! So, we'll have to wait until it is fixed if it is possible at all.

None! They experimental for a reason, Otherwise sites like British Gas will fail to load.

With respect, that's not what @NotHereToPlayGames was saying. What he was saying was that if exactly the same modifications were made to other Chromium browsers as have been made to Supermium, for whatever reasons, then the Twitch login would almost certainly break there too. I'm sure that win32ss is investigating the reason why this is happening.

FWIW, I've just tried it, and the British Gas site breaks in exactly the same way on the latest and greatest version of Microsoft Edge if the experimental features are enabled, so this at least is not a problem peculiar to Supermium!

It's working but my doorstop is struggling... I don't have an account but can watch free videos. EE360 13.5.1030.0 Chrome 86.0.4240.198 Thinkpad A31 with XP Pro SP3 P4 1.6 GHz 1.25 MB DDR RAM Radeon 7500 16 MB RAM

Can someone check whether Twitch works on Chrome360 v.86? In contrast to @Klemper, I have no Twitch account, and I deleted v.86 seven years ago.

When someone writes too much in such manner, it's demagogy. The Supermium author already confessed it has nothing to do with DirectWrite. like you tried to insert/inject. "I developed a method to ensure that the "experimental" web feature support could be used only on specific sites, but I thought this would not be problem this early in 132 ESR's life. With that in mind, twitch.tv should be defaulted to use it, but other sites should be untouched, to avoid breaking other websites such as British Gas." https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1279#issuecomment-2760133080 Why "experimental" web features are needed on the allegedly new engine, and as we saw with proof, Twitch works on Chrome 110 from 3 years ago, but you provide no proof.

Win32SS is a well known master of stubs/redirects. How else the Ex. Kernel works? I'm not saying he did it in this case, just to be clear. But that and/or similar sites are easy to fool with stubs.

103 will most likely fail on Twitch due to the fact of being too old, it even predates the official cut off point for old OS like Windows 8. So it may fail due to the old engine and simply confuse us. Any other variants?

Surely he had to 'fiddle' with the Chromium code or the browser wouldn't run on XP?!

Age, my friend, age. The developer SHOULDN'T be fiddling with Chromium Code to begin with. Just port the code, as all other forks, including CatsXP and the recently ported Chrome 136, do.

Twitch is an important site many youngsters use this day. The developer is still somewhat young, I don't buy it for a second he didn't check out Twitch, before the releases came out, Second, @Dave-H, there already were several releases after you found the problem in v126, but the horse is still there, and the author even introduced an odd "fix", again with "experimental features" turned on for Twitch. @NotHereToPlayGames, probably, you missed. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1279#issuecomment-2760133080

You're not listening. Twitch this, Twitch that. Is Twitch seriously the *ONLY* web site out of roughly 1.1 BILLION of them that isn't working in Supermium? If so, that's about 438,692,547 times better than Pale Moon, Basilisk, and Serpent. I myself have never heard of Twitch until this "hit the fan". But YES, apparently it is "important enough" of a web site that the developer SHOULD BE finding out what he did to the Chromium Code that broke Twitch.

While testing my further developed fork ytBATCH for Windows XP, I also tried to use youtube-dl for downloading YouTube videos and audio files. Unfortunately, without success. Eppic, the author of ytBATCH, uses the same command line options for both downloaders youtube-dl and yt-dlp. That does not make any sense. The way of setting subtitles internally, for example, only works with yt-dlp, but not at all with youtube-dl. The command line options for subtitles are unfortunately different. youtube-dl uses the command line option --write-sub where in contrast yt-dlp uses the --write-subs option. Their negations are also different. Therefore, I have changed the script ensemble considerably and made the internal setting of flags, if different in both downloaders, dependent on the downloader that is currently active. The same applies to the youtube-dl.conf configuration file. Eppic uses one and the same file for both YouTube downloaders, although the command line options are by no means identical. This is not expedient. I therefore have now changed this too and assigned a separate configuration file to each downloader. Now, each of the downloaders can be assigned its command line options stored in its own configuration file. These are major changes to the script files, and the development and testing phase continues.

I'm no longer surprised why you had terrible stuck-ups with the modern Supermium, whereas other members didn't! GPU with DDR3 is 2003 tech, I had a GPU with DDR3 in 200 or so, over 20 years ago. Your computer OEM simply used very cheap VRAM. At that time, GPU already had GDDR5.

If you try the option --config-locations "c:\\Portable\\3D Youtube Downloader\\yt-dlp\\config.txt" then there is no error about "unknown escape sequence" but I didn't get a thumbnail, either. You may report to the developer that the extra arguments do not have any effects.

DreamMail Pro - Update information! DreamMail Pro has been updated again and is now available in version 6.7.1.8. It is still XP-compatible, and the development is ongoing! I have not been able to find a version history on their homepage. Therefore, I generated an official version history translated to English and provide it here: And here is the download link of DreamMail Pro 6.7.1.8: https://download.cy-email.cn/dmpro_setup6.7.1.8.exe To force the updated installer of DreamMail Pro 6.7.1.8 to use English instead of Chinese as the installer language, I updated again my small loader that does this when it calls up the setup program. It must be executed in the same directory in which the setup file is located with its original file name dmpro_setup6.7.1.8.exe. Here is the download link of my loader Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_6718.exe: https://www.mediafire.com/file/7qb6k0l2lohhse1/Force_En_Install_DM_Pro_6718.7z/file Although some virus scanners detect this file as malicious, it is just a false-positive as always. Use my loader to force an English install, only if you trust me, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper

You're right! The PM forum is a great source for research. I look up there very often to find solutions for new or old problems when they befall me.

At school, we (my generation) learnt to avoid any abbreviation. When we did it anyway, it eventually led to bad grades. It was even so extreme that not even the German abbreviation u.s.w. or etc. was allowed. So much for "frowned upon" versus "uncommon"! Just a little tale from my life! Furthermore, this is probably also a generational problem. The younger people, especially the youth, are linguistically contaminated by Anglicisms and many of them no longer really know the written German language, which inevitably leads to the increased use of abbreviations.

Spoken for me only, New Moon and Serpent are the browsers I love to use as often as possible. It's fun and a respite from the Chrome world. And the extensions are unbeatable. Long live UXP!

In the German language, it is rather frowned upon to abbreviate anything. In the English language, it is common, especially in forums, but actually a comment should be coherent and understandable. On the other hand, I see clearly why an abbreviation was used in that case. By the way, I don't click on every link that is offered to me unless my curiosity and thirst for knowledge is aroused.

Ok, then you really meant article 3.
