This thing is very old by now. I've had it for a long time. After all the updates and tweaks, i'm not even sure whether it's still active or just "existing" there... Doesn't show up in the list of currently loaded addons on YT. [edit] OK, second attempt. I had to force it with the gcf: prefix.

My Browser Builds (Part 2)
RainyShadow replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
@VistaLover Thanks for the explanation. As i rarely run Chrome, i didn't know about that CRX2/3 mess. My main PC can only run up to Chrome 34 which is pretty useless. And the netbook is tugged away in a corner of my room, i use it mainly to WOL the PC, lol. I see that Chrome unpacks the installed extensions in the Profile\extensions folder. Can this be used to manually update an extension by replacing those files with the newer ones? There is some verification file in the _metadata subfolder, but does it contain any system/OS/browser specific data, or a copy from another system would work? The oldest version of GOYT i found is v1.3, and my Chrome34 isn't able to install it... -

Check that you have the latest version of the extension (v1.16 currently). I just tested on my netbook with Chrome 80 and it works. If it still doesn't work for you, use a GoogleBot user agent. [edit1] the extension User Agent Switcher & Manager from the chrome store is able to do this. Install it, open its options and select Custom. There is a link in the description that adds a sample setting - click it and modify as you like. [edit2] Looks like it broke again in Serpent52, i had to enable my SSUAO to fix it... -

@j7n Yes, it requires SSE2. All modern browsers require it, that's why the need for these special builds. My AthlonXP can beat a P4 in many tasks. Not the speed, but the lack of SSE2 really restricts the use of modern programs with it... @kwisomialbert said that both SSE and IA32 builds work for them and asked which one is better. This doesn't tell whether they can run the SSE2 build. -
Is it possible to install latest Streamlink ?
RainyShadow replied to kuja killer's topic in Windows XP
This seems to be written for newer Windows versions, but should work as a guide - https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-pip-windows Regarding "sudo pip install --upgrade streamlink" - sudo is a Linux command to run the following as administrator (root). In Windows you instead just start the command prompt itself (cmd.exe) as administrator (only if needed), then use "pip install --upgrade streamlink". Upgrade through pip may need a previous install through pip as well, not sure about this. If it doesn't work, try "pip install streamlink" instead. -

Sorry, but your post doesn't make any sense. Unless you misread their avatar (or whatever it's called) as XP x64. -

Same build and same SSUAO here... I had v1.15.1 when testing. The update check in about:addons didn't find newer versions. Now i manually updated to v1.16 and it again works with the default SSUAO. I rarely use my YT account on PC ever since they forced the sign-in in YT to mean sign-in in all Google sites at once. And when i do, it is in a private tab. I use guest access normally. Cleared cache and restarted a few times. Didn't touch the cookies though. ------ Summary: Good Old Youtube v1.16 works. Good Old Youtube older than v1.16, Old Youtube and Roys OldTube for NM27 all need custom SSUAO. -
also trying to run openjdk 8 just fails to load stuff
RainyShadow replied to arceus413's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Maybe try using a shorter path like C:\JDK8 ? Why do you have it on your desktop? Is this a somewhat proper install, or just extracted there? Do you have any Java related environment variables set? -
My Browser Builds (Part 2)
RainyShadow replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Both Old Youtube and Good Old Youtube extensions stopped working for me in Serpent52 today. With any of those enabled i just get a json.txt download. I even tried the extension for NM27 that Roy had provided previously, but turns out it didn't support playlist pages like the one i was trying to load - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMX26aiIvX5pbNWuM5A7lbEQu6yOWmOJS I added playlists to the extension (modified file attached), but it still didn't work. Also tried couple older Serpent builds - same result. In the end it turned out that the page requests were made with the normal Basilisk user agent. Overriding it to a GoogleBot UA with the UAControl extension allowed all three Youtube extensions to work fine. Strangely, i didn't need this UA override yesterday. The two web-extensions in Serpent worked fine previously. Are Google monkeys screwing around again, huh?! Or maybe i had a (long forgotten) general.useragent.override.youtube.com in about:config and the last update reset that for some reason? oldtube-xul_1.0.1.xpi -

TeamViewer has gone bye-bye on Windows XP, replacement needed
RainyShadow replied to assenort's topic in Windows XP

So, the trashing occured only on one partition, is this correct? If used clusters are (because of some error) marked as free in the FAT (on FAT16/32) or in the $Bitmap file (on NTFS), invoking trim will just erase these clusters - no questions asked. Or, maybe your SSD toolkit really doesn't work with FAT32 (but then why would it even attempt to optimize that partition?) If you have a spare drive available, you could try testing this on various partition types.
-
My drive is connected to the IDE port of the mobo through a SATA>IDE adapter, trim works fine. It has two NTFS partitions and the toolkit does two steps when optimizing - one for each partition. P.S. try to do a chkdsk before trim, that trashing may have been due to previous errors in the filesystem.

@Sergiaws What URLs you tried? If it's http/https address, opening it in IE should give you either a media file or a playlist file download. URLs that don't open in IE won't open in Winamp as well. For rtmp or rtsp URLs you can also try Windows Media player. Also check if your Winamp install has the needed plugins for the stream you try to play.

You can use the PC speaker driver (direct link) to test the codec part - if you can play .wav files in Sound Recorder with it, then something about your ESS card driver is wrong and you should try to reinstall it. With the pc speaker driver everything freezes during playback, so don't try playing long files
-
Check the properties for Wave Audio Device [Media Control] and Microsoft PCM Converter, make sure they are enabled. There should also be a mixer somewhere in this dialog. For the codecs you cay try to uncheck "Audio Compression", apply, restart if needed, then install it again. Allow to replace files if it asks to.

A Youtube Downloader for Windows 9x?
RainyShadow replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Check if you can use this one in your browsers - https://www.videofk.com/ -
The k-lite crap provides DirectShow codecs, you need the .ACM codecs that come with Windows. They are listed in the [drivers] and [drivers32] sections of System.ini Also, the .WAV format is a container, the audio inside could be encoded as PCM, MP3, or various other formats. Check with one of the default .wav files, the one you are trying to play could be in unsupported format. Check these:

Wireless AC mini-PCI Express card for XP
RainyShadow replied to genieautravail's topic in Windows XP
driver here - https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-t2u-nano/#Driver @genieautravail If you insist on internal adapter, PCI-E slots have USB pins (usually), so you can just solder that one directly to these pins. https://pinoutguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml You may have to source the +5V from elsewhere though, if the adapter doesn't work with 3.3V. -
Besides Teracopy i also use KillCopy. It has two separate profiles - for network and local transfers. Also you can limit the speed and change the buffer size during transfers. There is resume on crash/abort. Handy to make hard links too. And it preserves the timestamps unlike Teracopy.
