Your CPU being "slow", I would be interesting in some benchmarks from you, from the versions of MPlayer that run on your system. > mplayer shortTestFile.mp4 -vo null -nosound -benchmark Also try different -vo to know which is best on your system (I guess sdl will be fastest). I think those details may help also others to make their choices. If you need better performances from MPlayer there are some flags that you may want to consider: Fast: >mplayer filename.mp4 -priority high -lavdopts "fast:skiploopfilter=all" Faster:>mplayer filename.mp4 -priority high -lavdopts "lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all:skipframe=nonref" -nodouble Crazy Psychedelic WTF Fastest: >mplayer filename.mp4 -lavdopts "skipframe=nonkey" -priority high -really-quiet You could set those option into different shortcuts in your SendTo folder, or you could associate them to different verbs in your registry (see the reg file I posted in the first page).

I forgot to update here but there is the latest MPlayer Ringo build. https://github.com/RamonUnch/MPlayer-Ringo-builds/releases/tag/v2021.02.27 I changed again a few things, may have an effect, I have no idea at this point. I do not perfectly understand your problems. PTHREADGC2.DLL was no build by myself I think, (need to check that because I have several versions lying around) So actually it seems that after a clean boot Ringo builds work after lunching the test mplayer-a1.exe, that I build for you. If it is reproducible, then it is a solution to your problem, but I have no idea of why!

== AltDrag 1.39 == * New the LowerWithMMB option can now be set to 2 and you will need Alt to be pressed to lower the windows with middle click on title bar. * New: An 'Enable on full screen windows' option was added in the advanced tab of AltDrag default is on like previous versions. A full screen window is a windows that fits exactly into the monitor and has no title bar. * New/fix: A Killkeys list was added in the [Input] section of AltDragh.ini. It contains a list of key that will disable AltDrag when pressed down. Default value is 09 for the TAB key. This fixes a bug with DisplayFusion's Alt+Tab feature (Thanks *Daniele-f*). * Fix: Made ESC key a bit more aggressive in disabling AltDrag. * Minor refactoring and code cleanup, towards a more generic key mapping. * Fixed French translation thanks *TroudhuK* and his very funny name... == AltDrag 1.38 == + GUI changed: Mouse and Keyboard are now separated tabs and contain more options. All the new options should be available. Have a look! Translation is supported but not updated outside of FR and IT. + New: You can now invert the behavior of the shift key for double-right-click action (Resize) that aerosnaps or extends windows borders to monitor depending on the state of the Shift key. See the advanced tab. + New: You can now set the Hotclicks variable in the [Input] section of the ini file to add the mouse buttons as hotkeys (hence the Hotclick name). In the case the mouse button is also mapped to an action, the action will be performed on a single click. For example you can set MB4=Move, MB5=Resize and Hotclicks=80 81 and the mouse 4/5 button will respectively Move/Resize the window without needing to press any other button or key. In all cases this click will not be usable for anything else than AltDrag. Action suggested by *displayerror*. + New Hotkey combo is now available. Set KeyCombo=1 in the [Input] section of AltDrag.ini and you will need to press two of the hotkeys in order to activate AltDrag. This was suggested by *MarqueIV*. + New: The keyboard can now be used to activate AltDrag without clicking. For example set GrabWithAlt=Move in the [Input] section of AltDrag.ini. Press Alt and the pointed window will directly be moved wen moving the mouse without requiring a click. You can set any other action. I advise to use a hotkey combo for this feature or to use a very useless key on your keyboard. Action suggested by *pixelbase*. + New: A key can be set to toggle between move and resize action. it can be used in order to have a single click configuration that will turn into the other action when pressing this key. This later can be set with the ToggleRsMvKey in the [Input] section of AltDrag.ini. You can set it to A2 for example and have Ctrl+Alt+LClic => Resize instead of Move. Leave it empty if you do not want this feature. Only one key can be specified. It can also be combined with a hotkey. You could for example use Alt+LClick to move and Win+LClick to resize with a single instance of AltDrag. + New: The Ctrl key can be presses and released when a hotkey is on in order to prevent AltDrag from grabbing a window. Exemple: Alt+Clicl => Move window with AltDrag. Alt+Ctrl_down+Ctrl_up+Click Will be like a Simple Alt+Click without AltDrag running. - Removed PearceDBClick option that was buggy and is now mostly unnecessary. * Fixed: Now the doubleclick actions will check that the same button/key was used for both clicks. * Fixed: Ctrl delay problem. Now Alt+Ctrl should not need to wait for the keyboard auto-repeat delay. It was a stupid bug sorry for that... * Fixed potential bug in the hook chain. * Changed the cursor window no longer capture the input as it should not be necessary and may lead to some bugs. The cursor code was also made a bit more conservative. Download MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/mW5ExCCT#gI8DQICICk-y4FIjxaqtGg Download GitHub: https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltDrag/releases/

There is a Win98 build dated from 2018 if you would like to give it a try. https://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/files/MPlayer-win98-r38116+g23fe072e43.7z

@Wunderbar98 Try one of those builds. https://github.com/RamonUnch/MPlayer-Ringo-builds/releases/download/v14alt/MPlayer1.4_altbuilds.7z The one with a1 and a2 suffixes correspond to builds that "should" be optimized for athlon. If they does not work try the one wi the nosimd suffix.

This file in 360Chrome has exactly the Same SHA-256 than the version in ungoogled-chromium_86. SHA-256: 27993E2079711D5F0F04A72F48FEE88B269604C8E3FBDF50A7F7BB3F5BFC8D8E I did not check the original Google Chrome version but if there were any difference I would prefer to keep the ungoogled one. It seems newer versions of D3DCompiler_47.dll can be loaded under WinXP (according to Dependency Walker). In 360Chrome 13 you have version 10.0.17134.12 with a certificate dated from2018 With ungoogled chrome 86 or 88 you have version 10.0.19041.1 with a certificate dated from2019 I do not know in which case this dll gets used however and I can not certify that it does work on XP. For me the score was 440... I have a very cheap Intel chipset. with a Core2Duo T7500@2.2Ghz

Do you have any idea of what is the "MobileAdapter.dll" for (in Application\{version.number}\) I removed it and I do not see any side effects. Any idea? Maybe I am missing something obvious.

Awesome, best solution by far; thanks ArcticFoxie!

Very nice ArcticFoxie. I did go through similar process but I had a slightly different approach. with version 12 of 360Chrome. I did not really care about the translation, however instead of using the Host file I simply went through the dlls and replaced all domain names strings with invalid ones. The Host technique is simpler and better though. I like to keep the errorpage.zip because I prefer to see errors in Chinese than no errors. the newpage.zip is the first thing I removed. I like very much your modifications. I think you should consider to do an other repack (just a 7z-ipped folder) so that everyone can enjoy better translation without going through the hassle of doing it for himself. The only thing I do not use from your suggestion is the additions in the [RunAfter] section because I prefer to have the Browser remember tabs and browser history, but that is a personal pref.. Also I was wondering if anyone could take the time to go through errorpage.zip and translate most common errors (google translate can give a good starting point).

Thanks for your info, Actually I will try to make a build without any MMX/SSE support to see if this is the problem. I do remember that some builds of MPlayer were not functional when having a SSE1 only able cpu, In theory CPU autodetect should be the best but we will see.

It would be nice to add this support. unfortunately I have little time for this project and the only thing I did was actually to build a minimal MPlayer that runs on 98SE. I never actually tried anything URL related. For XP if you want more features there are other builds around that you may try. Also VLC is quite good decent for XP. Could you give me some examples of such URLs so that I have something to work with when I get more time to work on this project?

== AltDrag 1.37 == * Fixed: Now moveable full screen windows should be restored to full screen when changing monitor. This was not working properly in 1.36. Note that many full screen windows are really not moveable anyway. Under Windows 10 the file explorer will behave correctly, not Firefox. * Fixed: the Scroll list was added in the [Blacklist] section of AltDrag.ini in order to disable the scroll action for any window. In addition the Processes blacklist will apply to scroll action as well. * Fixed bug when the origin monitor was a NULL pointer in some cases under older windows versions. * Fixed ini file: the proper name of the two settings about max aero speed are AeroMaxSpeed and AeroSpeedInt. * Fixed: manifest file now fallback to per monitor dpi awareness version 1 if version 2 is not available ie. Win 8.1 and Win10 before build 1703. * More code cleanup, some code was moved to functions and potential NULL pointer dereferencing were fixed. * GUI New: now the Identify window option will show the program image name. * GUI Fixed: Now the Snaplist has to be edited with the ini file and the Scroll blacklist is visible instead (much more useful). Snapplist is a quite advanced detail anyway. * GUI Fixed: re-introduction of the Advanced tab in the options with more options that previously required direct ini file edition. This should be helpful for all users. It is not yet translated though.

== AltDrag 1.36 == + Added MMMaximize option in the [General] section of altdrag.ini in order to restore old AltDrag behavior (thanks brian6932): Set to 1 to maximize/restore on left+right click (default). Set to 2 to restore on a single left click instead of a drag. Set to 3 for both (like the original AltDrag). Set to 0 to disable any of those. + Now the AeroMaxSpeed value can be set to put a speed limit beyond which the moved window will not be Aero-Snapped. This is useful to move windows between monitors without "flicker". You have to set AeroMaxSpeed and AeroSpeedInt in the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini. AeroMaxSpeed is in pixels/X frames (from 1-65535) AeroSpeedInt to specifies the number of frames (default 1) from 1-255. To set this value: (i) See the frequency of your mouse and set an AeroSpeedInt to average over 10ms or so, so if you have a 1kHz mouse, set it to 8-10, if you have a ~100Hz mouse (typical) keep it to 1 or 2. (ii) Set AeroMaxSpeed to a "high" value (like 50) and try to move fast a window between two monitors, if it get aero-snapped, decrease the value until it "just" no longers snaps. (iii) Check that the window does snap when you want it to sap, if the window tends to restore when you do not want, increase the AeroMaxSpeed value. + Roll/Unroll action was added: It collapses the window in its title bar. It can also be used with the move action (Alt+Shift+DoubleLeftClick). You can also set RollWithTBScroll=1 in the [Input] section of your ini file to enable Alt+Wheel to roll/unroll window when pointing to their title bar. If not pointing to the title bar the normal Scroll action will be performed. If Ctrl is pressed the normal Scroll action will always be performed + New: Now when using Alt+Shift+DoubleRightClick, the window will be extended to the corner/border of the monitor according to which area of the window was double clicked. Alt+DoubleRightClick works as before and Aero-snaps the window to the monitor sides/corners. Finally to Maximize a window you can use Alt+Ctrl+DBLeftClick on the center portion of the window (this is useful if you use a single button config with resize center set to "move". + New: Now the AlphaDelta and AlphaDeltaShift value can be set into the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini to tune from -128 to +127 the step at which the transparency is changed when using the Transparency Action. Default is 64 and 8 with the Shift modifier. You can put negative values if you want to invert wheel Up/Down direction. * Fixed/New: When Aero-snapping with AltDrag, the window can be restored via the title bar like normal. This is enabled if NormRestore=1 in the [General] section of AltDrag.ini. * Fixed/New: Now a full screen window will be resized to full screen when moving it to a different monitor. If you want you can set ResizeAll=3 to force move/resize of all full screen window. Keep in mind that some full screen windows are really not resizable (eg Firefox and Edge). * Fixed: Now if MinAlpha is set to 0, it will be clamped back to 1, because setting to zero the alpha of a window disables any interaction with it. Everyone should also add ",Program Manager|Progman" to their windows blacklist (without the quotes). * New: Improved the AltDrag.txt file, read it for some basic documentation. * Fixed: cleaned up some code and corrected potential bugs, moved some more code into functions. * Fixed: Now the AutoRemaximize option should always work.

== AltDrag 1.35 == * Changed: to simplify the code and avoid bugs, the Ctrl is no longer suggested as a hotkey and if using it (using the ini file) other Ctrl functions will be unavailable (it was buggy in the first place anyway). * Fixed a typo in the Alt+Tab scroll actions that lead to some bugs. * Fixed: Ctrl in some cases does not work properly to retain window in current monitor and would be stuck sometime (thanks redactedscribe). To avoid those problems that are specific to Ctrl, the Shift key can now be used to restrict cursor to current monitor when dragging a window. * Fixed: When adding a monitor, AltDrag needed a restart for Aero Snapping to work properly, this is no longer the case. * Fixed .manifest file so that proper windows version can be obtained. * GUI fixed: Now under Windows 10, the 'scroll inactive window' option will be grayed out unless it is activated, so that users do not enable it by mistake and to make it clear that it is useless for Win10. * GUI Fixed: Now if desktop composition is enabled, it will no longer be possible to disable the Drag Full Window option (GDI Performances problem). == AltDrag 1.34 == + Added MMBLower in the [Blacklists] section of AltDrag.ini in order to disable the "Lower windows by middle clicking on the title bar" option for any window. use the name|class format. Example: MMBLower=*|CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS if you want to close tabs with middle click on Windows Terminal. * Fixed: now the Lower action will deselect the lowered window if possible so that it can be reselected easily (thanks redactedscribe). * Fixed: Now when a windows is snapped normally under windows, it will be restored properly if AltDragging it out. If a window is snapped with AltDrag, however it can only be restored with AltDrag. * Fixed: Scroll Action was restored to the 1.29 version behavior (kimks3). == AltDrag 1.33 == + Added a MinAlpha option in the [Advanded] section of AltDrag.ini, in order to adjust from 0 to 255 the minimum opacity of a windows (default is 8). * Fixed AltDrag freezing when changing DPI scaling or going to sleep mode. * Fixed Stupid bug that would restart AltDrag wen moving windows between monitors with different DPI scaling. * Improved English on the snapping windows option (thanks redactedscribe). * Now settings should be kept when updating AltDrag (thanks FSund).

If it happens even with vo null then I really do not see what could possibly the problem. What is your CPU? Are you using Win98SE or just Win98? I just could test on 98SE and ME Actually Have you tried with version 1.4 (stable) too?

OK i see. Do you have the same when using -vo null -nosound If you do, then the problem may be your msvcrt.dll, take the original from your Win98SE disk and put it in mplayer's directory. Try also with the original SDL 1.2.15 from sld's website. https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15-win32.zip

Builds are now available here https://github.com/RamonUnch/MPlayer-Ringo-builds/releases You need the latest DirectX for Win98, try also with different -vo and -ao drivers. try -vo gl/directx/direct3d/sdl -ao win32/dsound

== AltDrag 1.32 == + Added the PearceDBClick option in [Advanced] section of Altdrag.ini. Use 1 to disable the maximize on Alt+double-click. It only applies to the Move action for now, maybe more will come if needed. + Added the UseCursor option in the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini Use 0 to disable any cursor handling (not recommended). Use 1 to enable all cursors changes (default). Use 2 to disable only the Hand cursor when dragging a window (icyhoty2k). Use 3 to always use the default cursor, even when resizing. Note that none of those settings is expected to affect performances in any significant way. + Now when pressing the SHIFT key while using double click-snapping on the center-top section of the window, this later will be maximized/restored, instead of being snapped to the top. This will be useful when using the Move instead of resize-center option. * Lower with Middle mouse button option will no longer ignore the window blacklist, this will avoid interactions with taskbar. * Fixed Scroll inactive windows, hopefully for real this time. * Avoid some more lockup in the case of very unresponsive windows by using PostMessage instead of SendMessage, when applicable. * Fixed: Now double-click snapping will respect Aero(H/V)offset settings. * Fixed some more minor drawing problems when using FullWin=0 Download MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/mW5ExCCT#gI8DQICICk-y4FIjxaqtGg Download GitHub: https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltDrag/releases/1.32

== AltDrag 1.31 == + Added option to replace the resize center mode with Move mode. GUI was adjusted accordingly * Improved the non full windows dragging mode, it will no longer move the window when it snaps but only the transparent square and the window will be moved when click is released as expected. * Simplified window database and removed useless code. * Fixed slightly too large window when resizing from a maximized window inside an MDI. * Fixed some annoying behavior in the in case of unresponsive windows.

It should be possible to use SuperKoko's Win9x/NT python 2.6 / 2.7 builds I made a quick test with latest youtube-dl but could not make it work for some reasons. Probably this python 2.7 build is buggy, but maybe has still potential with modified youtube-dl.

== AltDrag 1.30 == + Re-introduced the Aero snap at top to maximize a window. this behavior can be disabled with the AeroTopMaximizes option in the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini. The Shift key will also invert the behavior. + Now when auto re-maximize option is on, the re-maximizing can be prevented by pressing the shift key before releasing the mouse. * Fixed overcompensation of Win10 invisible borders in center mode in the case of double click Aero-snapping. * Fixed horizontal double-click Aero-snapping maximization in the case of MDI windows. * Fixed: Now the Volume action is not limited to Vista and later. This later will use the WINMM API on NT4/2000/XP to change the waveOut volume. * Fixed the Scroll inactive windows option, that would prevent scrolling in all metro apps under Win 10. Note that I advise against using this option anyway because Win 10 does it already natively by default. * Now "Start|Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow" is in the default blacklist. This will avoid AltDrag interactions with Win10's Start menu.

Winamp is in my opinion the best music player for Win9x or later windows, If you want to listen to radio, I wrote a plugin for Opus file/radio streams (in_opus.dll) that works for Win9x. however it only supports http streams, no https... http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?p=3190368 Look at last post to have the latest version.

There is also https://driverscollection.com/ That helped me more than once.

== AltDrag 1.29 == + Added Maximize scroll action that behaves as expected: wheel up maximizes the pointed window, wheel down restores a maximized window and minimizes to taskbar a normal window. This action was proposed by bluebird11. + Now when Aero-snapping with double right-click, the window will be resized to full monitor width when double-clicking on the center of the window while pressing the shift key. * The cursor is now properly limited to MDI client area when using Ctrl. * Cleaned up some code by removing useless global variables. * Lower action will no longer ignore the AutoFocus config flag. * Minor refactoring, moved some code toward function and fixed some gcc's -Wsign-compare warnings. * Fixed: Sometime when pressing escape while resizing, it would prevent further window move/resize. * Rewrote the auto remaximize procedure. It is now much simpler and handier in my opinion. The window is now remaximized when released on the current monitor, if it was maximized when move started AND was dragged to an other monitor. There is no more 1s delay option... Note: this procedure was not working properly on previous releases. * Fixed: Position of the mouse cursor relative to the restored windows should be always correct now, this was a stupid bug I introduced... * Fixed: Desktop window is now properly ignored. * Fixed: When using Ctrl, the cursor will be properly restricted to the current monitor. * Removed unused variables and cleaned up some code. * Remove hard dependency to ole32.dll, it will be loaded only when using the Volume action.
