Those builds are originally for my private use and they are released because of my goodwill that I think they may help others. This bug doesn't affect me and so I don't have big intention on hunting and fixing it. If you want this to be fixed you at least need to find when the problem started to occur. and last but not least, stop gaslighting.

I didn't realise there were so many still using SP2 (why?). I will consider building the next version with PyInstaller 5.13.2 again. But do note, that in the future that may not be possible any more, due to the changes they make. Consider upgrading to SP3. In the meantime, here is a build that should work on SP2. @davidz, Do you really mean you're on SP3? Because in my SP3 machine (VM), 2025.12.06.064237 works fine: [debug] Command-line config: ['-v'] [debug] User config "C:\Documents and Settings\Nico\Application Data\yt-dlp\config.txt": ['--rm-cache-dir', '--console-title', '--add-metadata', '--embed-thumbnail', '--convert-thumbnails', 'jpg', '--js-runtimes', 'quickjs', '--ppa', 'ffmpeg:-metadata synopsis=""', '-o', '~/Bureaublad/%(title)s.%(ext)s', '-S', 'res:1080,vcodec:avc,acodec:m4a', '--sponsorblock-remove', 'all', '-N', '6'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No VT), error cp1252 (No VT), screen cp1252 (No VT) [debug] yt-dlp version nicolaasjan/yt-dlp@2025.12.06.064237 (winXP_x86_exe*) [debug] Python 3.11.4 (CPython x86 32bit) - Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3 (OpenSSL 3.5.2 5 Aug 2025) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg N-121824-g775b102182-WINXP (fdk,setts), ffprobe N-121824-g775b102182-WINXP, phantomjs 1.9.8 [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.23.0, brotli-1.2.0, certifi-2025.11.12, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.32.5, sqlite3-3.50.4, urllib3-2.6.0, websockets-15.0.1, yt_dlp_ejs-0.3.1 [debug] JS runtimes: quickjs-2025-09-13 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Request Handlers: urllib, requests, websockets [debug] Plugin directories: none [debug] Loaded 1853 extractors Removing cache dir C:\Documents and Settings\Nico/.cache\yt-dlp ..

If you ***REALLY*** want your video playback looked into, it's kind of ON YOU to do some LEGWORK in NARROWING IT DOWN. *Shoot the messenger* all you want. But that really is the reality of the situation. We (you!) need to tell roytam "playback WORKS in this month-day-year release, but it is BROKEN one week later with the month-day+7-year release".

Notice: seems need some more time on ironing out front-end (win11) related revs from upstream which hopefully can be done in xmas, but UXP related changes are in and hopefully new build (without those front-end changes) will be available this week.

@Goodwin @roytam1 I'm not a professional, I just compile Mozilla based browsers for my personal use and hope for the best. For instance, I'm trying to compile Firefox 13+ with Windows 2000 compatibility. One thing that sometimes (but not always) causes runtime execution failure is clicking on tools -> options -> applications which can cause an error in MSVCR71.DLL. Also, after reverting the commit that broke Windows 2000 compatibility, I had a minor problem that is caused by opening a new tab, and the message displayed on the new tab page was relating to an invalid address. That annoyance was caused by the commit for Mozilla bug 728429, which mandated ASLR on Windows. In order to find that, I had to cherry-pick a range of commits between the one that broke Windows 2000 compatibility, and the one mandating ASLR, then compile the source code a few times to narrow down my search. The point is, if a problem does not exist in one of roytam1's browser builds, then exists on a later browser version, the right thing to do is find out what the last good version, and the first bad version is, then it would be easier to find when the problem started, and what commit caused it. Also, it is possible a bug might not affect everybody.

StartAllBack 3.9.19

I did it for testing (manually applying 3dyd's changes to the source of official PyInstaller 6.17.0) and converting into a wheel (built with 32bit toolchain from here on Windows 10). pyinstaller-6.17.0-py3-none-any.whl (for XP) pyinst-6.17.0_yt-dlp_x86_XP.7z

no clue, check for upstream if problem persists. (but remember, youtube pushes AV1 content which is too heavy for old machines.)

Notice: although there are some commits in upstream which worth importing, I'm mentally affected by fire news happened in Hong Kong lately so new build will be delayed (i.e. no build this week)

Did you set up the proxy properly following the instructions? How did you start the proxy? Which version of Windows XP is installed in your computer? What is the state of updates? No detailed information, no help is possible! And I wrote a lot before, but no statements from you what I suggested: OnePiece Windows XP Post-SP3 UpdatePack, Linux Q4OS (Trinity Desktop) and so on. Truth be told, not much fun helping you!

Sorry, but this is no sentence and does not make any sense. A string of one or four words has nothing to do with detailed information.

If I wanted to use such old hardware with only 320MB of RAM, I would install a lightweight version of Linux such as Q4OS (Trinity Desktop). You can find it here: https://q4os.org/ In my opinion Windows XP can be installed on such hardware, and simple things can be done there, but it won't be fun if you want to use such a system basically. Modern software have much higher RAM consumption than older one. For surfing the WWW for example you need modern browsers and your size of RAM will let the system extremely slowing down or freezing completely. And an OS like Windows ME is unfortunately no solution either. I have such a Win ME partition too, but surfing the modern web doesn't make any fun or any sense at all.

Please be a bit more detailed! I guess you got this error code while trying to access MU web site. If so, you should follow these instructions completely and carefully: You must not skip any step.

Thanks for your info! But where did I say that last verion is REV3d? I wrote: You probably misread it or missed it. I provided a download link for version REV3d because there is no link for version REV3e. @heinoganda hadn't provided any download links generally. You had to send him a PM to get his latest release. And he doesn't provide download links anymore. So there is only a download link for version REV3d. As I already mentioned in my article I did my job carefully: But no problem, that can happen to anybody. The Romans said: "Errare humanum est."

I'm going to assume you're talking to me. In that case, if you have not read the thread and are not aware of it, this bug does not concern YouTube. And I will repeat once again, Roytam can figure it out without your help. If you have nothing useful to say, then do not get involved in someone else's discussion.

Version 19 no longer installs correctly on a 26100.1 system. The taskbar is hung and keeps looping on a msg to hold down ESC to keep it from loading, but that doesn't stop the hang. Killed explorer and ran the v16 install and taskbar is back to normal. It seems v19 is not downward compatible anymore.

New 6.17.0 releases by 3dyd (and it's a shame every new release overwrites the previous one ; not a good practice if "things" break and one needs to revert ) : https://3dyd.github.io/pyinstaller-builds/

I'm not a developer. If roytam1 is a professional, he should look for the causes of the bug and the browser version himself, not send users who do not understand many technical issues to do it. It would be very funny if when reporting a bug in firefox, mozilla would say "you look for the problem yourself, we don't know anything".

fileextd.dll its a old rare file that provide some functions that xp useally dont have - it can be seen as kernel extender i dont know its origin either some say its from the xbox and a official file while other say its a handmade file by someone maybe we get some more information about it what i know is that it is shown as used library on microsofts website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-getfileinformationbyhandleex then "Kernel32.lib; FileExtd.lib on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP"

The problem is, the same happens with multiple types of SSD, on multiple HP z210 CMT workstations. The users reported significantly longer boot times when compared to other computers. To be more precise, users reported computer malfunctions. When compared to standard HDD, computers with SSD took much more time to go through the blank (black) screen phase. Since other computers were faster in the same boot phase, the assumptiom was made the workstation with SSD were faulty, so workers started to power off the workastation with SSDs to fix the problem. After investigation, it came to light, the workstations with SSD took about a minute of black screen time, when workstations with HDD did the same in less than 10 seconds. After informing the workers about the extended wait time, the power cycling and computer failure reports stopped. All workstations have the same specifications, except hard drives, and monitors. The system partitions were cloned, so they do have the same drivers. After cloning system it is visible the HDD boot is longer (3m 22s). But with each sequential boot the time goes shorter. On the other hand SSD is faster first (1m 42s) but the time does not improve significantly, after that. All workstations are not using Microsoft Account. In any case, both SSD and HDD workstations would take the same time with the MSA and OneDrive, probably. There is no domain logging, as well. It all came to light with SSD and HDD mixed enviroment. In a different location all workstations are fitted with SSD, so there is no time difference between them. So workers assumed long boot time is normal behavior, probably. I will have to check how they are performing on boot, when I have an opportunity to be there.

You wouldn't have that "problem" if you didn't spend 'all your time' to go through *ALL* posts by your 'favorite people' and post "likes" to content in JANUARY OF 2022 for NO REASON other than it was one of your "favorite people". "Kids these days..." edit: when you're done with all the "likes" for your 'favorite people', I'd kind of suggest you (and the other's that "do this") at least kind of EVEN THE SCORE by doing the SAME for folks like roytam, feodor, tihiy, et cetera.

One can get tired of exporting one by one very quickly. Let's see, There we have often cases where pics and videos are stored at another website, so even if you export the main (root) website cert, the pics will show empty, the browser will prevent the off-site untrusted (un-certified) connections. Last but not least, many modern AV scanners use your cert store to check the sites and/or your browser's executable. As we see, Tripredacus uses official browsers, perhaps he uses such AV software, too.

This time I agree, the engine is too bloody old anyways. Don't waste time.

I'd say, it comes as no surprise after a quarter of century. What about Fujitsu-Siemens, Fujitsu, or just Siemens? You don't consider them? It'd be a perfect choice, as of they have lots of thin clients.

I was under the impression it does';t, unless you explicitly specify. You want to tell it does it silently? Well, then I'm against this. Kind of anti-feature if it does it without consent.

That's a general problem here on MSFN. If members/users have problems, they are very communicative and willing to provide information. But when it comes to selflessly contributing something to the cause, a certain listlessness prevails. Very regrettable. In principle, the same people always make a contribution here to move the cause forward.

In my system with 1.5 GB RAM, every single megabyte counts. 350 to 450 MB is then a huge amount of RAM.

Didn't you just contradicted yourself? This flag only has an effect if you are TAB HOARDING !!! No. If you open two or three tabs of the same domain to really work with them, then this has nothing to do with tab hoarding as they are closed immediately when all is done.

Now, a question to all who are running Thorium under Windows XP Professional SP3 with all updates after SP3 but without any POSReady updates. Does Thorium work under these conditions? I have two Windows XP installations, one with and one without POSReady updates. When I start Thorium on Windows XP without POSReady updates, it crashes randomly without any messages. With crashing I mean a sudden closing of the browser without any actions by me, either directly when starting the browser or seconds respectively minutes later.

@Dave-H If your plan doesn't work, consider my strategy then. The steps are necessary for further steps I wanted to perform. And I don't know whether they work with an old Chrome as default. The Internet Explorer is automatically set as default browser by Windows XP if no other has been set by the user.

ROG - precisely about Asus PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse combo port. "I have purchased 6 PS/2 Y splitter..." https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/z170/ps-2-keyboard-mouse-combo-port/td-p/574618

Yes, but not via DVI. "Nov 3, 2013 — Dual link DVI cannot support 10-bit color at 1440p. 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, maybe." https://linustechtips.com/topic/71182-does-dual-link-dvi-support-10-bit-colours-1440p/ Like I said, try Display Port.

There are a lot of clean installations using a CD including SP3 and IE8. If I had to install from scratch I would use a version which contains all updates until 2014 and therefore including IE8.

Of course,. I said to @Dave-H some posts above the more the better and he agreed by replying the more the merrier.

Thanks for clarifying! Good to know!

Maybe in Explorer options you have hidden system files and extensions.

Error code 0x8007000D means Error_invalid_data. Therefore I think using the XP version won't fix it probably. You have to find another version if it exists at all. Did you copy wsus3setup.cat too? Without it won't work. Both files wsus3setup.inf and wsus3setup.cat are included in cab file wsus3setup.cab.

Maybe the file version of wsus3setup.inf is incorrect. Search for a version related to Windows 7. Maybe within a normal Window 7 system. wsus3setup.inf is located in folder SoftwareDistribution. But I've never used MU web site in Windows 7 so it is only a guess.

Of course the 10th of March 2021. I'll send you missing certificates as soon as possible. I think they aren't unique, only made for my system. They are from Microsoft. And try method "Turning back time" at all costs! But now Microsoft Update isn' t working anymore. You have to check all including status of all services. And please send me your screenshots listed by ServiWin. Comparing with help of your log file is too tiring.

@Dave-H A little correction. I meant registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate and there the value of LastRestorePointSetTime. Here is my value: 2019-04-12 13:45:09. You see it's your English format. Try the point in time you have there first! Then you may try other points in time. The method "Turning back time" can mean to go back one year or one day. You just have to try out. It's trial and error. Maybe it works. I'll forgive you due to your "senior moment". But where is the 'Use HTTP 1.0' option? I have only these entries: Use HTTP 1.1 and the Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections. If there wasn't both entries it had to be assumed that your Internet Explorer was not properly installed or is faulty. Anyway, look at last post of me above to download screenshots of my services in better quality.

@Dave-H Maybe perform all steps in my new post: As I told you I had a lot of troubles to restore MU in my system. I had all error codes someone could get. I think your error code has been one of them. Maybe you have a BIOS date/time problem due to low cmos battery but I don't think so. My advice: Do all the steps once again and do not miss anyone! You know Windows is very often a mystery.

Sorry , I didn't observe such phenomenon on Visat . Everything renders very fast on my PC. Vista is very fast. Perhaps you meant this happens with Windows 7 Aero ?

An interesting discussion, I want to join . While I agree that "its" could be dropped , I don't fully understand the purpose of what you wrote after besides . In his sentense Youtube could NOT be considered a collective name because he wrote "youtube is" , NOT "are", so saying "their" would be a severe grammar error , don't you think ? So how is this relevant ?

I tried it (the .dll) and I didn't experience any crashes , thanks again , win32 . Though, I agree that personal experiences may vary (different hardware) . I'm running quite ancient hardware (by the modern day standards). One PC is with some old Quad Xeon (circa 2009-2010) and another with one of the first Haswells. I already told you and the others : Kaspersky crashes are it's "normal" behaviour , you can search and read it yourself , so we can't be sure whether the dll is faulty or not . As for me , I trust win32 and his experience and I see the dll is working fine. All I'm trying to say , test the DLL with NORMAL software , not that KGB "something" . I'm not sure with what to respond to your topic, since I already suggested mallwarebytes or the brain.exe. About chrome , for me it's just running without any mods with this kernel , there are a lot of folks here that use it too. If firefox works for you , chrome should work too. But you need 64 bit version . Make sure you are running chrome x64.

Thank you for the info ! Pehaps you know where one can compare the hashes ? The original and this one.

That's exactly what I did , and what I got in return , except for rudeness and total lack of respect , not to mention him going off-topic ? I'm definitely getting a very cold welcome here , now from this supervisor too . Yet I didn't do anything against the rules and was polite in every topic . Is it something personal ? Why did you just backed him up ? You took his side for what ? Not even a word or a warning for being rude and staiyng off-topic ? Well, that's a good example for other members. I simply won't take any blame for asking him to translate his local language into English . Are any other supervisors reading this ? I mean @dencorso

OMG ! Seriously !?!? Instead of translating a couple of words , you've started to argue !? It's not about "what you guess", it's about common politeness and respect. Enough of off-topic replies , I got that the first time , you don't want to translate , fine , just calm down and stop. Thanks.
