    :OT A magnifying glass can be interpreted as an important instrument of a famous person who is permanently looking for tracks and hints. Everyone knows him: The magnifying glass has been directly linked to the search function in Windows since the early days of this operating system. Everything, for example, is a very fast desktop search and my favourite tool for finding strings within directories and files very quickly And what is the standard icon for this tool? For me, the magnifying glass and the search are interwoven like a pot and a lid. :END OF OT

    Thanks for reading!

    This website is very sluggish and heavy on resources. Not really suitable for New Moon 28 under Windows XP on an old, weak computer. But thanks for your suggestion!

    When I am later at my desktop computer, I will provide the version, which is stiil working, including suitable settings. @dmiranda At the moment, I have replaced the version MPlayer Redxii-SVN-r37871-4.9.3 (i686), which comes with the installation package of SMPlayer 23.12.0, by the version MPlayer Redxii-SVN-r37940-6.2.0 (i686), you see a bit more recent one. This version works great with relative seeking selected and precise unselected. Another version is MPlayer Redxii-SVN-r37802-4.9.3 (i686) which even works with absolute and/or precise seeking selected. Versions higher than 37802 do not work with absolute seeking. And I have unselected the options "Remember time position" with "Remember for streams". I should still mention that version 37940 is the last XP-compatible one. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Please, don't forget that Check My IP Address & Location is not "my programme", but my fork of a good old extension that was unfortunately abandoned and brought back to life by me! I have changed and modified some of the code, and enhanced its functionality. But thanks for your kind feedback!

    Hello @Monroe! Which extension do you mean? My fork Check My IP Address & Location 1.3? This extension works perfectly for me even when connected via VPN. This was also tested by @VistaLover. So, there must be something wrong in your settings. Please, check what's going in your system! Try also another VPN service!

    Never installed the DeepL Desktop application under Windows 7. But if it really needs an internet connection for translating, then there is no need to install it.

    I tested MPC-HC 2.1.2.18 more deeply. Under my hardware conditions, the jetaudio video decoder does not do anything better than the LAV filters. Generally, I like this player but the best of all for Windows XP is still the PotPlayer which is able to play subtitles and lists all available YouTube streams while playing a video so that the user can select their favourite one easily.
  10. AstroSkipper
    @Ascii2 The title of this topic should be corrected. Especially, when we are talking about the quality of translations. I think you surely meant "Recommendation ...".

    Generally, SMPlayer is working under Windows XP. But the provided MPlayer version which comes with the installation package does not work correctly when you fast-forward or rewind YouTube videos or jump to a specific point. You have to replace the MPlayer version and to adjust some settings to watch videos so that picture and sound are always synchronised. I have been using SMPlayer for some time but I tested this player only with YouTube streams. The good is the files youtube-dl.exe and yt-dlp.exe inside the installation folder can be updated by the great releases from @nicolaasjan.

    Raise your hand anyone if you think below announcement is just a coincidence : https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30782 ... My hand stays down.
  13. AstroSkipper
    Yep! I have no idea what I did there. Thanks for correcting!

    My fingers were already itching , but I'm not posting in this rubbish forum any more. Yep! The guys can purge it, delete it or stick it somewhere else. I will be sleeping like a log.

    BTW, those old programmes like Power Translator 11 Professional which I still have in my personal software archive came with an installation package size of more than 500 MB. I also don't know whether it is still running today after almost 13 years. Generally, I really don't like such bloated packages. I always use the DeepL online service.
  16. AstroSkipper
    Those tools are also available, but only from Windows 7 upwards, e.g. DeepL Desktop. Developing good translation tools doesn't seem to be as easy as you might think. Google Translator has been in development for many, many years, but the translations are often still poor in terms of grammar and content. In my opinion, DeepL does the best translations.

    That's a typical comment from the guys on the Pale Moon forum. Exactly as I put it here: And then the try to row back a little patronisingly: The quoted comment can be found here: https://forum.palemoon.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=17830&sid=c270026a4e9bbd9b3587497dfcb6127a https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=247714#p247714 What do we learn from such behaviour? One should only post in the Pale Moon forum about the official Pale Moon and Basilisk browsers and only if absolutely necessary. These poor, lost souls there can't cope with anything else.

    Most those offline translator tools for Windows XP are much too old and/or have to be paid such as Power Translator 11 Professional or Just Translate 2016. The quality of their translations are not really comparable with the best of all such as DeepL. Therefore, I think you won't have much luck finding something really useful. Tools like QTranslate, for example, need an internet connection and even their quality is worse than DeepL which is unfortunately not available for Windows XP as an offline tool. Maybe, you can get LibreTranslate to work under Windows XP: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate

    For checking ansd configuring your hotkeys, you can use Dorando keyconfig. It is very helpful. I agree with the opinion of @j7n and also believe that that the hotkey has been captured by another extension.
  20. AstroSkipper
    I totally agree. Mentioning you or your forks is not really a good idea on the Pale Moon forum. I can literally feel and read the hostility, arrogance and aversion there. There is a lack of friendliness and respect in this forum. That's why I haven't posted there for a long time.

    Most probably nobody will bother to test their ports for Windows XP without SP, without SP fully updated, with SP1, with SP1 fully updated, with SP2, with SP2 fully updated, with SP3, with SP3 fully updated and with SP3 + all POSReady updates, fully updated. Tests under SP3 are logically the most likely.

    I found the system requirements for MPC-HC 1.7.13 on the old, abandoned homepage: https://mpc-hc.org/faq/#what-are-the-requirements-for-mpc-hc Due to the fact that MPC-HC 2.1.2.18 is a port for Windows XP, it is completely unclear whether it has ever been tested under SP2 or is supported there at all.
  23. AstroSkipper
    I don't know what the exact system requirements of MPC-HC 2.1.2.18 are with regard to Windows XP, but many programmes require Service Pack SP3 to be installed if they are compatible with XP at all. Thus, stucking at SP2 doesn't really make much sense and is not really a good idea, IMHO.
  24. AstroSkipper
    My Windows XP Professional received the SP3 service pack as soon as it was released. My system was already fully updated in 2014 with all updates after SP3. From 2014 to 2019, my system received all POSReady updates. My 32-bit CPU is a Pentium 4 with only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. So very weak hardware. And yet my system runs excellently. By no means worse than when SP2 was still in use , but much more up-to-date.

    FYI, a few hours ago, a new version of Palefill was released by martok, Palefill 1.28: https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases/tag/v1.28
