sdfox7 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 @roytam1 SOLVED! There is no need to backport Pale Moon to Windows 2000. Your weekly Windows XP New Moon updates work just fine on Windows 2000, including YouTube!

I knew that, it happens even compiling with VC2013. So it must be some porting/reverting code causing this, but I didn't find any suspicious code yet.

siria Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 YOUTUBE starts on KM74-Goanna on Win98 First I had only that endless spinning icon too. Then googled for Youtube+Palemoon, gives some good results, like this: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17443#p127757 Different users needed different solutions, but all seem CODEC related. So messed around with codecs and settings. Finally it started playing. On my box that means about 1 frame/5 secs, exactly like Opera12.02, but it does its best ;-) ==== What I need or youtube keeps SPINNING ===== UNINSTALL in K-Lite Codec pack "DirectX mpg4 decoder" (page3) Roy's Lav codec pack into KM root folder (had it already, just in case / PS: my cpu has SSE2) Useragent must contain "Firefox" media.autoplay.allowscripted = true permissions.default.media = 1 (all) javascript.enabled = true kmeleon.flashblock = false (bug? this blocks html5 too, even if flashblock.html5video.blocked=false) 3rd party scripts can remain blocked. And no XHR needed, no cookies, no referer, no popups, no DomStorage, no Objects A working UA example: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:38.8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.8 (PS: Separate threads for KM and Palemoon would be much handier, less 'disorganised'...) 1
siria Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 PS: keep in mind this special KM74-version comes with the very 'special' useragent auto-switcher deeply embedded. It cannot change the 'global' useragent. Not sure if it's possible at all to play youtube while that extensions is active. Mine is disabled with tricks.

You probably has uur2 which has kennel file from Wildbil and bwc. It is impossible to run pm27 on win2k without kernel ex due to missing process handling API from XP and many old API(present but unable to be used in certain criteria) .

Works on W2K Now, time to see if I can recreate Siria's steps to making youtube work on Windows 98SE/ME Ik this is off topic, but has anyone successfully got WMP 10 on 98SE or ME? I tried it and still have version 9 on about. Edited June 13, 2018 by ~♥Aiko♥Chan♥~

siria Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 @sdfox7: just curious, have you tried if Roytams other K-Meleon (not 74 for Win2000, but the future KM77 for XP) works on your system too? The latest version from here: https://o.rthost.cf/kmeleon/ And is that Rollup the only necessary update to get PM27-forks working in Win2000?
