My Browser Builds (Part 3)
nicolaasjan replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
My pleasure! But maybe extensions have to be downloaded first and then you have to edit the `install.rdf` file in it? -

Workaround: general.useragent.override.addons.palemoon.org ---> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.8 Firefox/68.0 PaleMoon/29.4.0.2 Before: After: But there's a real possibility that they come up with something more "clever" (JavaScript?). -

VLC plays local files fine here on the XP VM (3.5GB RAM, 2 processors, video memory 128MB). But you can always try ffplay (no GUI whatsoever) from: https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/ffmpeg/?C=M;O=D [Edit] (Offtopic) To play YouTube video's through ffplay: youtube-dl --ignore-config -o - 4aXi3lOmICI | ffplay -i - Limited to 720p; I could only get 1080p working with the following command using the yt-dlp fork of youtube-dl (x86 version doesn't work on XP!): yt-dlp --ignore-config -o - -f "bv*[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4]" --downloader ffmpeg --external-downloader-args "ffmpeg:-movflags dash" 4aXi3lOmICI | ffplay -i - Note that ffmpeg must be compiled with: --enable-demuxer=dash --enable-libxml2 -

2015-09-23 did absolutely nothing (not even audio played). You mean I have to install a codec pack from there and if so, which one should I install? -

Didn't see anything special in FileMon (only "SUCCESS"). MPV has hardware acceleration on Linux as well here (only h264): mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfhiLIktIzA (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1920x1080 60.000fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (aac 2ch 44100Hz) Subs --sid=1 --slang=en 'vtt' (webvtt) (external) Subs --sid=2 --slang=pt 'vtt' (webvtt) (external) Cannot load libcuda.so.1 Using hardware decoding (vaapi). AO: [pulse] 44100Hz stereo 2ch float VO: [gpu] 1920x1080 vaapi[nv12] You have to turn on hardware acceleration in the config (hwdec=auto). I think I have to give up trying to get MPV working properly in this VM, haha. (it's working in a Vista and Windows 7 VM though) -

Yeah, I got it from: https://web.archive.org/web/20160610143950/https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/ Didn't work here at all (see edit above). [Edit] I could open a mp4 video, but got only sound and no interface. Are there maybe codecs I need? -

+1 I play video's through MPV as well (also with the help of "Open With"), but haven't been able to find a version of MPV that works in my XP Virtual Machine... Do I have to look here: https://www.videohelp.com/software/mpv-media-player/old-versions ? And if so, which version works? [Edit] Version mpv-i686-20151029 is supposed to be the latest working on XP, but did absolutely nothing when attempting to start... -

I'm a Linux user (XP in a VM), and I can say their Linux instruction worked for me, when I built Pale Moon a few times in the past. Added this compiler flag: ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-march=native -g -O2" Don't do that any more however, because it's a burden for my HD and CPU. In general, compiling on Linux is much more straightforward and faster than building on Windows. -

Ah, that must be it. The thought indeed crossed my mind. Do you remember who made that. I can't find it. [Edit] Found it. Thanks! -

I'm sure it is New Moon (palemoon-28.10.4a1.win32-git-20210814-857caec4e-uxp-741fd8b61-xpmod) from: https://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/ Don't know why it's called Pale Moon... @roytam1? -

The only thing I could think of is Dutch. In my language there's the "letter" 'ij' , which is pronounced as 'y'. But the sorting in my Firefox nl version is like it should be ('y' between 'x' and 'z')... -

It wasn't eMatrix, but something in uBO. When I disabled uBO on YouTube, I got a cookie consent overlay. When I accepted the terms and turned uBO on again, everything worked. I've now protected the "CONSENT" cookie (expiration date Jan 10 2038) with CookieKeeper (caa:addon/cookiekeeper), so that it won't be deleted when closing the browser. Thanks! -

@modnar Regarding YouTube, How do you manage to get it working properly at all? Here only the top part of the home page shows, but the bottom part stays grey... palemoon-28.10.4a1.win32-git-20210731, but Serpent as well. Same issue with the official Pale Moon (but I don't dare to ask there, because of the hostility). -

Actually YouTube offers several format options for 720p. Format 22 is a single file. E.g. for this video (found formats with yt-dlp, using the following command): yt-dlp -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I79CQUTO5II 22 mp4 1280x720 30 | 852k https | avc1.64001F 852k mp4a.40.2 0k 44100Hz 720p 136 mp4 1280x720 30 | 89.77MiB 723k https | avc1.4d401f 723k 720p (throttled), mp4_dash 247 webm 1280x720 30 | 88.94MiB 716k https | vp9 716k 720p (throttled), webm_dash 398 mp4 1280x720 60 | 108.10MiB 871k https | av01.0.08M.08 871k 720p60, mp4_dash 480p however has only Dash: 397 mp4 854x480 30 | 42.61MiB 343k https | av01.0.04M.08 343k 480p, mp4_dash 135 mp4 854x480 30 | 29.41MiB 236k https | avc1.4d401f 236k 480p, mp4_dash 244 webm 854x480 30 | 32.46MiB 261k https | vp9 261k 480p, webm_dash But note "throttled" in the above output. Maybe that can be the culprit? cc @we3fan -

No problem! I just googled "detectportal.palemoon.org" (4 results). [Edit] I just noticed that network.captive-portal-service.enabled is already set to false by default in New Moon 28. -

See: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=631 And: https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/issues/18 Try what happens when you add: 0.0.0.0 detectportal.palemoon.org to your hosts file. Or delete the string value of captivedetect.canonicalURL in about:config. And/or set network.captive-portal-service.enabled to false.
