My Browser Builds (Part 5)
nicolaasjan replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
If you want something GUI-like, you could also add yt-dlp to the browsers context menu with the extension "Open With" (available in the Classic Add-ons Archive). -
My Browser Builds (Part 5)
nicolaasjan replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
This one is not maintained any more... See here: https://old.reddit.com/r/youtubedl/wiki/info-guis Unfortunately, the fork thereof will not work on Windows XP (is 64bit)... -
Thanks! But I had to disable 2 lists and add them to Custom with updated URLs to match them with the ones currently used by upstream uBO. NLD: EasyList Dutch ---> EasyDutch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EasyDutch-uBO/EasyDutch/main/EasyDutch.txt Online Malicious URL Blocklist ---> Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard) https://malware-filter.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/402e2ebf57 https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/7636#issuecomment-1735168592

Here, video (from YouTube) downloads the separate audio and video and does combine them to one file with the latest FFmpeg from @Reino, though my hardware can't handle the higher resolutions with VP9 codec. So, I always download mp4 1080p with avc codec (my screen isn't larger than that anyway).

Works on Pale Moon here ("dirty" old profile). -
My Browser Builds (Part 4)

What a bloated site... Even in Firefox 121 and Chromium it's sluggish. -
I tested this in my Windows XP VM by copying the VDI file to a partition on my SSD and starting it up with a Linux iso. From there trim worked after mounting the Windows disk.

Extract MPC-HC 2.1.2.7z and put the MPC-HC folder from the archive in e.g. your 'Downloads' folder and put 'mpc-hc.ini' in there as well. Drag all the content from LAVFilters-0.78.0-0.7z into the MPC-HC folder (replace existing files). Then start the program. If you want to use it with the XUL extension "Open With" (see this post) and you want to add its icon to the menu, extract the program icon with e.g. "IconsExtract", put it in e.g. 'C:\Windows\Icons' and assign it in the extension. (or download the icon from here)

One more thing: have you looked at these scriptlet resources @UCyborg talked about? Would these new scriptlets work in uBO Legacy if transplanted?

It's indeed not optimal, but on XP with MPC-HC, YouTube playback is very decent. In other cases I just download it and then open it in MPV. That said, these VM's are mainly for testing purposes and of course for building yt-dlp/youtube-dl.

We are getting a bit offtopic now, but I have bad experience with VLC (choppy and slow; especially on XP in my VM). On Linux (native) and Windows 7 and 10 (VM's) I use the excellent MPV media player. If you want hardware accelerated playback on older GPU's, request the avc codec (h264) from YouTube. In order to get that, put this line in your MPV config file (example config file here): ytdl-format="bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best" And: hwdec=auto The last version of MPV that works on Windows 7 is mpv-x86_64-20230917-git-181eddc (got it from from here). They dropped support for Windows 7.

Tip: Use the extension "Open With" from the Classic Add-ons Archive. Then you can add the media player of your choice (and other useful commands) to the right-click menu (Screenshot). There is a mod of MPC-HC that I use now and it performs really well in XP. See this post from @mina7601. It uses youtube-dl to fetch the video, so if you have yt-dlp you have to rename it (must be in your PATH).

I created a new clean profile from within `about:profiles` (so no cookies and settings related to YouTube nor anything else) and installed your extension; updated the lists and still: This is in Linux Mint 20.3 on Pale Moon 32.5.2 (offtopic: the startpage redirects to https://palemoon.start.me/jp; known issue I think)

Yes, with a new install of uBO NLD: Easylist Dutch is automatically activated (but that shouldn't have an impact on YouTube).

For that to happen it may be wise to ask in the My Browser Builds thread? Btw, I also tested this in New Moon 28. [Edit] Same in Pale Moon on Linux. Thank you!

Well, both in the Led Zeppelin video and in the special Ad Blocker Test Video. Screenshot of the second ad in the latter (Phantasialand ad): If you don't see ads in either of them, then it must be PEBCAK here. Though both videos are tested with default lists.

Thanks! I still would like to know why 1.16.4.31b2 is successfully blocking YouTube ads and 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 is not, even with Legacy filters added to Custom. I tried in clean profiles, with only Quick fixes added to the former.

Thanks! The filter lists seem to behave well, but I still get YouTube ads... (not happening with the old uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2) Also "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" with its $removeparam syntax is useless for uBO Legacy (recognizes only 3, while there are 1382 a.t.m). [Edit] Maybe you could add "uBlock filters -- Legacy" as well. It still gets an occasional update. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/legacy.txt

Hmm... Didn't encounter that here. Btw, for these Malware filters you can also use these mirrors: https://curbengh.github.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt https://curbengh.github.io/phishing-filter/phishing-filter.txt

Yes, the URL has to be changed. Known issue (old post, so some things may have changed) https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter#lite-version-online-links-only I have added the proper URL to "Custom". I use the Adguard one (see commit 402e2eb). https://malware-filter.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt

FYI: @Reino updated his FFmpeg version for XP. Download here.

Thank you for looking into this! For now, I reverted back to uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy with "uBlock₀ filters – Quick fixes" added in "Custom". No ads any more. Btw, here is a special adblock test video. [Edit] I didn't see your comment above until now, because I replied to an older post. I noticed the %timestamp% as well, but didn't realize what it implied... [Edit2] I still have a very recent entry of 2 days ago in my "uBlock filters" list here: ! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21690 xhardhempus.net##+js(no-setTimeout-if.js, adblock)

Yes, that's what I already guessed you meant. So, the self updating logic is already present in 1.16.4.31b2 ? It seems it hasn't it already done so in my case.
