Yes video works , when I turn hardware acceleration off on this machine. Then of course the ui glitch is back. The driver makes no difference (NV81.98/82.16/82.69). I have been using 82.16 for more than ten years. It is as good as 81.98. 82.69 has a known bug in nvopengl.dll. But as I said, the driver doesn't matter in this case. The Firefox.exe CPU consumption at times reaches over 90 percent on YT playback. In contrast, the consumption of the Core2Duo E8400 Wolfsdale processor is only 30 - 40 percent.

New Test: Now I run FF48 on a noticeable slower machine also with the view to YouTube: Asus P4V800D-X, VIA PT880Ultra, Pentium 4 C Northwood - SSE2, NV5900XT AGP8x + driver NV82.16 / Win ME. YT: I don't have video here, only audio. The player remains black or turns white and disappears. Apart from that the YT page loads completely. ME isn't fresh, it is an old installation. It is quite possible that I've something wrong in that system.

Thanks for testing. The Celeron 450 should be good, but it isn't in the CPU Support List of your board.? Maybe the Integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 82865G is too weak. A good AGP card is worth a try. 2GB Ram must be enough. Ok, it is a real machine and not a VM.
-
It could be hardware related. What's your CPU (instruction set - SSE?, SSE2?, SSE3? ..., chipset and graphics card (VRAM?). How much Ram do you have fitted? Or is it a VM? Did you have disabled the "NewTabPage"? Make sure that have choosen WinXPSP2 and not legacy WinXPSP2. We still have far too few tests!!! Try to install QuickJava and check with CS or JS disabled.

I tried it on the fast, so only superficially. 35.01 and 33.1.1=> good 32.0.3 => useful, no audio after moving forward 28 and 31.8 => rather useless - different errors occurred: sluggish, only Audio or only video or stucks, only the player is loaded 27.0.1 => no playback
-
I checked "media.mediasource.webm.enabled";true successfully with FF42.
-
YouTube still works with default media prefs on FF 43+ here. So far I haven't dealt intensively with this item.
-
Congratulations! Thanks for testing. Do you have hardware acceleration and OMTC enabled? What's your hardware and OS??

1. Make sure you have latest KernelEx Core Updates (24) installed. 2. Verify Kexstubs with jumpers Ktree. Latest is Kstub823.dll The Kexstubs entry must be in the core.ini: --- No OS override --- [BASE] contents=Kexstubs,std,kexbasen,kexbases Kstub824 desc=Base enhancements (api fixes + extensions) --- Legacy modes for older registry settings and Ktree9 --- [DCFG1] inherit=BASE contents=Kexstubs,std,kexbasen,kexbases desc=Legacy Base enhancements 3. Does FF 35 work on your machine? 4. Try FF 45.9 or 47.02. FF48 starts without UI first. Can you see it in the taskbar? 5. Check with the DependencyWalker, if you caught all dll's.

Backporting newer browsers to Win9X with KernelEx
schwups replied to roytam1's topic in Windows 9x Member Projects
I can open almost any site. This isn't the problem. Ok, YouTube doesn't work anymore with it. It's not about browsing, but the setting avoids the runtime error with the following crash for example after adding a bookmark. The bookmark plugins Netscape and IE Favorites become useful here. -
Backporting newer browsers to Win9X with KernelEx

KM74G: I no longer have runtime errors when I set msvcr80.dll in the KM Program Folder to Base (Kexbases,Kexbasen). -
What about Burp 1.7.36 on Java 7?
-
Maybe this (Opera via Burp - page 26 -30 ...) is useful for you. I can run Burp as HTTPS proxy, but on ME. I don't have Win 2000 to test that. Burp runs on Java. You have to export the certificate (portswigger ca) on Burp and afterwards you can import it to Opera.
-
Try to connect via proxy.
-
Note: I can't enable hardware acceleration for KM76. That is possible with FF only.
-
Additional requirements for FF 42 - 48 and KM 76: Dll's from XPSP2 or SP3 (or ReactOS) (Activeds.dll, adsldpc.dll, apphelp.dll, authz.dll, dbghlp.dll, dnsapi.dll, mprapi.dll, netrap.dll, netui0.dll, netui1.dll, ntdsapi.dll, ntlanman.dll, rasdlg.dll, rasman.dll, regapi.dll, rtutils.dll, samlib.dll, utildll.dll, w32topl.dll, winscard.dll, winsta.dll), MDAC2.8SP1 (Odbc32.dll, Odbcbcp.dll), GDIPlus.dll (for KM76) and Kext (latest Kstub823, ini file here). The names of all missing files were found with the DependencyWalker (DW). To do this open the Xul.dll with the DW. Missing modules are marked with a question mark in yellow circle. To get all names you must refresh or restart DW after adding files. New (missing) files will appear. The new files bring up new dependencies. You have to repeat the procedure several times. I have these files, XPSP2/SP3 and some from ReactOS 0.4.0, in the system folder. You also can try to paste them in the KernelEx folder, or KernelEx Subfolders like ROS, as KernelEx-KnownDll's. In this case (KernelEx-KnownDll's) is the registry entry in the Key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KernelEx\KnownDLLs] necessary. Or paste them into the program folder, when you're afraid. To bear in mind pdh.dll, psapi.dll, userenv.dll, uxtheme.dll and wtsapi32.dll are already supported by KernelEX (KernelEX-KnownDll's). Don't merge LZDLL_ME.reg or LZDLL.reg for Win98 of KernelEx update18 into the registry! Firefox will crash immediately on start . The portable Installer requires the apphelp.dll. It make sense to install the WindowsInstaller 12.0.2600.2, but I haven't testet it as requirement. Direct3D9 (OMTC): 1. Install DirectX 9c 2. "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" => true - OMTC requires hardware acceleration! 3. "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" => true (default value) I did all the tests with the portable versions and I only testet with NV7800GT and NV7900GS cards and drivers 82.16 and 82.69 on WinME This may not work with other hardware.
-
FF48: I dared to go one step further. I set "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" to true, "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.force-basic" to false and "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" to true. It completely solved the main UI glitch now, and surprisingly FF seems to run stable. Now the troubleshooting page "about:support" gives "Compositing = Direct3D 9" instead of Basic. What remains are common icon glitches and here and there slightly shifted or coloured edges. But that was already the case before.
-
The old bool "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.force-basic" = true is better than "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.force-disabled" = false. Thereby it's possible to start and run Firefox 48 with a slightly reduced window size without this UI glitch. Besides that all pages are usually displayed correctly and there aren't any blank ones.
-
Thanks for your work and the hint.
-
KM76: I still haven't caught the culprit or have a workaround to make the sub menus and context menus readable. Siria, I have to deal with the language change again, basically I had the same or very similar results. I tested OMTC (offmainthreadcomposition) disabled on FF 45 and 48. It solved the UI glitch, that the window is not completely displayed or not at all in the case FF48 and these versions seem to run stable in contrast to FF35. The downside is that some web pages are not displaying correctly or are blank. FF 48 doesn't have the boolean "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" anymore. I created a new "layers.offmainthreadcomposition.force-disabled;true".

The rectangles are in lines 226, 348, 456, 550, 663 and 796. The main.kmm of 75.0 isn't affected.
-
The KM reader gave an "? in rhombus", WordPad shows a square instead of c on ME, but Notepad++ a c. Perhaps something like that could cause the converting problem. I already tried different skins and I also disabled individual and all macro extensions and KM plugins month ago. Supplement: I found five squares more inside the main.kmm with WordPad. All kmm errors are gone. Now there are only some css warnings.
-
I activated the error console and yes "Compat 75" was disabled. I corrected one character in line 226 of the main.kmm. $kLayersOnly=$kLayers*getpref(BOOL,"kmeleon.plugins.layers.cat?hOpen"); ? => c That solved almost all of the kmm errors (#13) and only two remained. But it isn't the culprit.

@siria Win ME and 98 has lost track of development for several years, but I believe I will remain staunch to ME. It's comparatively simple and yet good - A look at the task manager and I normally know what's the problem. Some members have given up and I think others are waiting for a final KernelEx release with installer. Old KernelEx 4.5.2 is downloaded more than four hundred times a week on sourceforge, so in principle there should be interest. Yes, I may be one of the first in the world to run KM76. In spring I was able to start KM 76, but had no clue to get online and to resolve that problem of the unreadable menus. Jumper said on 8 May (How you really browse the web on 98/ME in 2019) "In February 2018 I was able to surf simple websites with KG76 on 98se+Kex..19(pre). The main problem was all menu text truncated to one character (unicode strings not getting converted to ansi). After a few weeks it seemed to get stuck in offline mode--maybe a iphlpapi issue...". At that time I tried to find something in the kmm files that was somehow noticeable or strange by comparing KM75.0 and KM75.1 files, but without success. I admit that I can't edit macros and have no knowledge about them. So I'm very happy about your contribution here, your approaches, tips and assumptions. I think you are someone who knows K-Meleon particularly well here on this board.
-
The menus are unreadable since KM75.1. To start KM76 you must set the Xul.dll to XPSP2 (not legacy XPSP2) and I also set the exe to XPSP2. (Kex24 + my Kext file) Not to forget the GDIPlus.dll (XP or Vista).
