Calm down folks!

Stick your head in the sand. My head is held high. You are an arrogant a ss. I have no fear in saying so. Try to ban me if you think this is all "just me". Multiple members see you as an arrogant a ss. I'm just "don't care" enough to be the one to tell you. Call it "only me" all you want. The rest of us all know the reality outside of your own head. But yeah, we've carried on enough and we've both said our piece. But one last item, speaking solely as me, YOU ARE AN ARROGANT A SS that LOVES to hear himself talk. Hey, what can I say, "it takes one to know one", because I can say (and have had others say) the same about me. DON'T CARE.

In a way, I feel a bit sorry for you. You’re incapable of speaking for yourself and need to refer to others to give your words some semblance of weight or credibility. That’s truly pathetic. And if you have even the slightest notion that your opinion of me means anything to me, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you immensely. I’m always pleased when someone is well-disposed towards me, but if they aren’t, I couldn’t care less. I have my own opinion and know exactly what I’m capable of. And a healthy sense of self-confidence was practically instilled in me from birth. I really do feel sorry for you. Right then, and now, after this lovely little chat, I’m going to get back to my projects to make up for the time I’ve wasted.

Not really. You really don't have the impression on other members that your ego thinks that you do. Sorry, you just don't! Trust me on this, MULTIPLE members here do NOT like your egotistic all-knowing always-right personality. Take that as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and "adjust accordingly". Or keep replying the way you have been and REINFORCE the view that MULTIPLE members have of you. No skin off my back either way. edit: of course, having said that, I myself also RESPECT the paradigm of "I change for no man, live with it, I don't care what you think of me." so I guess you can strive for MY respect, or the respect of the MULTIPLE members that don't like the all-knowing always-right everybody-loves-to-hear-me-speak personality. again, no skin off my back either way. and trust me on this, speaking for ME and "your view of me" -- *I change for no man*

Who’s going to take offence at that? And then get all offensive yourself, too. You really don’t need to do that. And speak only for yourself! It’s extremely presumptuous to try to speak for others. Be a man and speak for yourself! In that case, you don’t need to reply either. If you’ve no clue, it’s best to wrap oneself in modest silence.

<redacted>, you egomaniac! It gets old reading your high sense of self-worth. And I know for a fact that many others on the forum think the same. I simply stated that not all of us have a MODERN DEVICE to fall back on. I could care less if you have the oldest XP computer, no one else cares either. Carry on, wayward son.

BTW, the Android tablet I'm currently using is an old Lenovo Tab M10 HD, originally supplied with Android 10 and updated to Android 11. So somewhat ancient, too. But my Windows XP computer from 2000 is one of the most ancient here in the forum, I think.

That's why I said "Or" as an alternative. If you don't use an Android device, you won't be able to do that, of course. Shall I explain that to you in more detail?

On Android in Opera 99.2.5094.88935, you can only play the video if you allow ‘protected content’. Your assessment can’t be entirely correct.

Not all of us have Anroid devices as a backup. Some of us truly rely on "ancient hardware".

Or open websites such as https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/video/2026/06/20/germany-fans-take-over-streets-of-toronto-ahead-of-world-cup-game/ on Android in Chrome 149. ‘Rubbish to rubbish’ is my motto.

There are things like this (theoretically) - https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser BUT... you are asking as an XP user. So my answer to you remains, "No, protest to the server owner". edit: but these technically are not OLD ENOUGH to *NOT* pass Cloudflare *without* the "bot protections" (with the exception of the Linux-only v142). So ONLY TIME WILL TELL if these are truly effective. I will know in about a month when (or if) my city utilities billpay FAILS to work in EDGE but then "if" this fork WORKS. Personally, I'm not holding my breath!

Unfortunately NO. You would have to contact the owner of the server hosting the web site. Maybe if you get THOUSANDS of users of that web site to protest, you could get the owner to remove it. But I do assure you, the owner implemented it for a reason. All SERVER-SIDE reasons.

A big thank you, @autodidact! If you could sort that out, it would be absolutely perfect. That way, I’d be able to include your latest versions of ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay in my next release of ytBATCH for Windows XP. However, ffplay is missing from your static archive. Could you please add it there, too? Kind regards, AstroSkipper

That (to me) DEFINITELY is tied to the "Title Bar" checkbox doing NOTHING in r3d 151.02. It's as if the "Title Bar" HEIGHT is set to ZERO or something to that effect. It appears CSS-related to me.

I only tried in XP (failed) and 11. In 11, when you right-click to customize, the "Title Bar" checkbox seems to do absolutely nothing. Unsure if it did anything in previous versions. edit: just checked in previous versions and this checkbox DOES work in previous versions Unsure if that is related to your issue or not, the Menu Bar looks the same to me in both versions. Are you having this issue ONLY when using your Luna XP Theme inside of Win7 ???

Try this - without quotes! Despite what other users/user may tell you. --disable-features=WebUsbDeviceDetection
