This should have the fix and it will be included in the next release as well. https://files.videohelp.com/u/69760/ffmpeg-8.2-2155-1836ef9684-win32-static-xpmod-P4.7z

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

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

The contents of the updroots.sst file have been changed; the contents of the other * .sst files are unchanged.

Panda Free AV (v21-22) is out it seems, constant crashes of PSANHost, it seems to be linked to opening Serpent 52.9... Oh well.

It's no longer even possible to enter simple, harmless DOS code in the forum editor. Not in the text area, not as a code block, and not as a quote. No longer a forum for coders who want to post their code, or must.

@autodidact When testing, please use this command: I think it is a problem showing the embedded subtitle in version 8.2 as the standard command without subtitle works: Maybe you can bring yourself to build your releases the way you always have in the past. BTW, the MSFN editor is such a piece of junk. To inject this code into my post, is an absolute nightmare. I had to simplify my command. MSFN seems to consider completely harmless DOS commands to be dangerous.

I have finally managed to fix this audio issue in Firefox 15 (and later versions) browsers on Windows 98 FE. As previously mentioned, you need to switch to an audio card that uses WDM drivers (VxD is not compatible with any compatible OS) in the Multimedia settings before launching the browser. In addition, I also had to update the "KMIXER.SYS" file located in the "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS" folder to version "4.10.2222" (I haven't tested other versions yet). After updating this file and then rebooting, the sound works fine in all browsers (I tested it using an online video on YouTube.com). In addition, I also tested a simple USB audio card for just five euros, and surprisingly, Windows 98 FE found it and automatically installed all the necessary WDM drivers (it requested the Windows 98 FE installation CD during the process), and now, after replacing "KMIXER.SYS" with the above version, the sound works in all browsers with this USB audio card as well. So if you prefer VxD drivers and Windows 98\98SE\ME, you can also purchase a USB audio card specifically for browsers as an additional option. You can also try the new WDM driver for integrated audio solutions: https://msfn.org/board/topic/187713-native-wdm-hd-audio-driver-for-windows-98seme/

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.

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.

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") ...

Thanks! That helps. But couldron filthare??? What is that? Is that a lovely euphemism for Cloudflare?

Thanks! But I am not such a Windows XP user. And I didn't blame anyone. I generally avoid slim, light or whatever releases. And I simply asked to have a look into it and maybe he can provide full releases which haven't been neutered as he did before. Not everything people call for actually makes sense. Especially when even standard videos can’t be played anymore.

Go back some pages in this thread and you'll find this was a request from several of your XP co-users (aka XP "die-hards"), either complaining about the inflated filesizes of the static executables (hence the "death" of the static "ffplay.exe") or stating they have absolutely no use for FFplay: No, never. I have always double-click .mp4 and is opened in VLC to watch everything and I don't need anything else. I no need scripts for download @AstroSkipper, do you now get the picture why 1) static FFplay.exe was completely dropped 2) the FFmpeg+FFprobe compiles for XP are now built with only minimal support for codecs/muxers/filters etc. ? autodidact is not to blame for that; he just provided what "the popular demand" is for ... Later on, as a courtesy, he added an FFplay shared build ONLY, again with just basic libs, for those (few?) XP users wanting to make use of it: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184368-who-here-has-a-youtube-dl-compile-for-winxp/page/45/#findComment-1288102 More references of mine: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184368-who-here-has-a-youtube-dl-compile-for-winxp/page/45/#findComment-1288026 https://msfn.org/board/topic/184368-who-here-has-a-youtube-dl-compile-for-winxp/page/45/#findComment-1288100 Kind regards.

Really fascinating, but only for people who’re into quantum physics. But the fact that ChatGPT works is brilliant. I’ve just had a go at Gemini and that works too. And it’s bloody fast, even on my single-core P4 computer with just 1.5 GB of RAM. @feodor2 has really done an incredible job this time.

Thank you very much for the new release! It works great here under Windows XP Professional SP3. Especially GitHub is running again now, and incredibly fast on my old P4 machine. Everything that worked in Mypal 78.0.2 seems to work in Mypal 78.0.3 as well. In particular, the Alice0775 script loader, all 37 of my own UC.JS scripts, and the installed extensions. Brilliant! I’ll carry on testing, but I’m already thrilled. Can you provide in short what you changed in this release compared to the previous one? And here a quick reminder: The issue #96 on GitHub is still open. Is there anything else to add? I assume it has already been fixed but I might be wrong, too.

@autodidact Here is information about the used codec of the video from VLC:

It has been two years since @Humming Owl last visited here. You could try sending him a PM. This is, of course, off-topic, but I hope he's OK too.
