    I kept the previous version on Ytdlp around so that I can revert to it if Android VR stops working. So far I see no difference in their workings. Both give me h.264/aac.

    Oh, it's different again. Probably not. I only saw the error in about 1 out of 20 downloads before.

    Sometimes an error pops up, but the download is still proceeds normally after 3 failed retries. I saw it twice and thought that the gig was up again.

    I was not able to enter Quora and of course RateYourMusic (but I don't even try with New Moon for other reasons). But the captcha then got better and let me through again, without me changing anything. It was something temporary. The script is really tough and normally takes several seconds on Core 2 Duo.

    Pdf printer to xp

    j7n replied to wyf180's topic in Windows XP

    I used to have an XP computer that needed to prepare bills. We used PDF-Xchange Pro, an old version. It worked well, was smaller than Adobe software, but it was not free.

    Has the Cloudflare captcha become more complex again recently? On my computer it doens't complete in New Moon before the Stop Script dialog appears.

    10 MB/s is what I have and I am perfectly content with it, I could buy a replacemnt router with a gigabit port and get "up to" 300 Mbit, but I can't afford a decent mikrotik router. Only efficient old software can reach high speeds, not a web browser in typical use.

    I had selected to not use New Reddit in preferences. Apparently, now adding "old" to the address makes it faster again. Previously there was no difference, and I could get to the old reddit by following someone elses link without old. I see in the network log that it repeatedly loads the same things. And the scripts get processed again and again, causing the whole loading take about 1 minute. https://i.imgur.com/WUe9nev.png Scrolled down a bit, the same: https://i.imgur.com/cyP79MP.png I have talked to a couple websites in the outcome was just them saying to use modern stuff, so it is not really productive. 10 MB/s is the speed of fast ethernet, why the sad face, lol. The limitation as always is the load on the CPU from processing every piece,

    Something happened to Reddit literally just now. Loading has become slow on an old PC, it fetches about 800 requests and 30 MB to display 100 subscriptions. This is not a problem specifically with New Moon, as Opera 12 is also affected, but I have no other place to discuss old PC and old browser behavior. Seems like they have modernized "Old" reddit. https://i.imgur.com/9xL6uJh.png

    We are on XP forum. Of course applications working on XP use old DLLs. Are any newer DLLs swappable over libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll by renaming them? Some popular programs included SSL inside them statically and the DLLs were not accessible (ApexDC, Opera 12, FileZilla).

    In NM the redirect link appears only after clicking on the link (or copying). Of course the HTML is different coming from the server, the anchor element contains different parameters. I am sending a Firefox/140 agent to get the full page from Google instead of a simplified version. It was a surprise to me that the page still isn't completely full doing this. I don't think is needed to jump in and "defend" either browser.

    Where are these OpenSSL DLLs usable in apart from a YouTube downloader? Legacy applications that I have all depend on libeay32 and ssleay32. And do they support new algorithms to justify their much bigger size?
  13. j7n
    There might be a "JavaScript hook" that sneakily overwrites the link after it is clicked. Initially the true link is displayed on the status bar in New Moon. In New Moon the link anchor has the parameters: href (true link), data-ved, data-sb (google's redirect) In Supermium the parameters are: href (true link), data-ved, ping (google's redirect) It seems that Chromium is able to do something with "ping" that older browsers are not, perhaps connect to Google in parallel with the target. I didn't even know you could write such custom values into HTML.

    I just noticed that when I copy a link from Google search using Supermium, I actually get the target link. But if I copy with an old browser, such as New Moon, I get the redicted link managed by Google. Why is it that Supermium has access to the true obfuscated link?

    The latest update to yt-dlp works out of the box again with an "ios downgraded" method. And there no sleep. They recommend it now, but there isn't. I didn't know you could use those conditionals [height<=1080][ext=mp4] which would help with changing format numbers. Can you point me to instructions about how to use a "JS runtime" with yt-dlp on Win Seven? Is this an exe I drop or is there more to it?

    It stopped working as of today with 403 Forbidden after receiving a little bit of data. From the post above I can use this. It gives me a VP9 video. Is VP9 the only option? --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=default,ios,-android_sdkless;formats=missing_pot" -f "bv[protocol=m3u8_native]+ba[protocol=m3u8_native]/b[protocol=m3u8_native]" The format codes I previously used with HLS don't work anymore.

    There is a program called "DVD Audio Extractor" that can rip only sound from video DVDs in a user-friendly way. Of course a number of DVD video rippers exist too, and you can demux the output to get only audio if you want. It is possible that the disk drive was worn and stops reading weaker disks first, or that the DVD part of it had failed specifically.

    I use Supermium now exclusively, but had this issue in "new" Opera before. I see now one way it differs from history. If I had visited X,Y,Z in the same tab, I can only see Z on the list. There is no way to recall X or Y without opening history.
  19. j7n
    Why is it that the Recently Closed Tabs feature under the down-arrow and the address bar don't show me the last addresses I visited? This is probably so in all Chrome variants and Google is employing some "wisdom". If I open Hamburger -> History -> History, the last entries are not the same as shown under Recently Closed Tabs. The way I see it, this recent exists to save me from using the Hamburger menu. Also, if I have visited example.com/a example.com/b example.com/c in this order, A may persistently show in the address bar auto-complete even though I haven't opened it for some time.

    The problem with the new topic lasted for a really long time, and only fixed now. I remember being unable to post on the Microsoft Office forum months ago. The Like button was used by a group of people with a leader whose name begins with "D", but they don't seem to be kiddies. I only use the like button generally when I've read what was said to me and don't want to reply anymore. While everything works, I'm keeping Supermium 132. Don't fix what isn't broken.

    I always thought this browser was for the tinkerer who expects it to break sometimes and then troubleshoot and revert. Are there any consumer level users for New Moon perhaps in China? I had a few extensions that I tried to transfer from Firefox 27 (looks the same as New Moon) and they gave me troubles. I don't remember what I did inside the files and after 3 out of 4 loaded.

    My system seems to be more stable with "Accelerated 2D canvas" set to disabled. I am not sure what it does exactly if anything in this version. I have an issue with the video driver weirdly glitching in Windows GUI on Server 2008 R2, such as scrollbars flashing, and I suspect this acceleration triggers similar problems. Acceleration seems to be completely superfluous and an opportunity for webmasters to cram even more bloat into sites. Not sure if I have completely disabled acceleration with this setting alone. New Moon's acceleration is already off for me under Advanced > General. I noticed a non-intuitive behavior with Delete Browsing Data -> Last hour. It does delete the history as expected. But if I have also visited other sites within the hour, their login cookies will get deleted too. They apparently get updated to the last visitation time, which falls into the period of deletion.

    I was able to load forum.zdoom.org with User Agent Switcher in Supermium 132, but not in New Moon where it keeps cycling on "finished TLS handshake". The site is focused on an old video game. Having it require the latest software to work rubs me the wrong way, which is also consistent with their new versions require modern Windows. It is not essential for me to read this site. But I suspect how this may happen with more servers soon.

    Where do the SSL certificates in New Moon come from? I have never had to add missing certificates in this browser unlike other old browsers.

    I found the Open With extension by Geoff Lankow for Chrome, but it is now old and doesn't work in Supermium ("Specified native messaging host not found."). I tried to install it in Opera 93, but it says that it requires Python to work, which is too much. Without it, nothing launches when I add a preset. https://chrome-stats.com/d/cogjlncmljjnjpbgppagklanlcbchlno?hl=en I use the extension by this author in New Moon. There I can add any program I want. If such a customizable extension doesn't exist, then I will accept it. What is wrong with this website? https://forum.zdoom.org/ In Supermium it gives the error: ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. In New Moon it doesn't open with the error "the authenticity of the received data could not be verified". It does open in Opera 93. It is possible that I have disabled something related to HTTP/2, but nothing releated comes up. Have we moved on to new basic HTTP protocol that this site have embraced?
