Extreme Explorer 360 Chromium 78-86 General Discussion

[Dave-H]

UHD videos work fine for me on Firefox 52.9.1 under XP.




I realise this isn't with a Chromium browser of course, but it shows that XP itself is not the problem.

I'm ok with that; as well here with XP and 52.9.1 (hardware acceleration disabled) ... spoofed to:

user_pref("general.oscpu.override", "Windows NT 10.0");
user_pref("general.platform.override", "");
user_pref("general.useragent.compatMode.version", "62");
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0");
user_pref("general.useragent.vendor", "");
user_pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "");

Just caught this and figured I'd add my 2 cents

Gonna give some feedback on my 360 @ArcticFoxie 12.0.1247_rebuild_3 in a few minutes.

For your mixed content preference (if I follow), add the below line to the very end of the Parameters line in the [FileToRun] section of your 360Loader.ini file, make sure there is a space between the new command and the previous command:

--enable-strict-mixed-content-checking

 

For your tls preference, I think you need to set a min and a max both to 1.2, add the following:

--ssl-version-min=tls1.2 --ssl-version-max=tls1.2

 

Either that or you might just need the following:

--tls1.2

 

For reference  --  https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

I would personally always use 360Loader.ini over "flags", but that's because I can do more with "switches" than I can with "flags".

What website is that protocol and mixed-content screencap from?

[XPerceniol]

Sorry..

Thanks, it looked familiar, just forgot "where".

Wow, yes!! It WAS the useragent! I first turned on hardware acceleration (no effect), then put in an extension and here is what happened:

This is a video which should offer the "4K" resolution, as you can see that is not in the list offered to me.

Exact same place, reloaded the tab after spoofing as Windows "10" and suddenly the list keeps going?!

Anyway thank you so much, no idea why my previous efforts at this seemingly obvious thing failed.

And isn't that some s***? OK I don't know if any of you are not using a useragent switcher but apparently YouTube blocks higher resolution streams for XP.

Made the screenshot video "4K"

[rereser]

permanent user agent change for 360chrome on xp.

this will enable 4k video @ 60fps resolution with 360chrome , that is if your pc can handle it ...
but at least you will have the choice.
also , there may be other benefits from spoofing the user agent.
for example : the outdated browser warning on etsy.com is gone ...

tested with v13.2206-4 on win xp sp3.
see for yourself at html5test and on youtube and feel free to experiment.
first make a coy of the ini before using this.

add text below to the last line in the 360loader.ini at [FileToRun] and put a space before the --.

--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/93.0.4577.82 Safari/537.36"

have fun.

Why the %U at the end of the line?

[rereser]

no clue but for me this works ...

tested from this found : /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --user-agent="_USER_AGENT_STRING_" %U

Limited searches on it shows that it is not part of the UA and it's what is called a "field code".

More field codes can be found from here  --  https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html

[rereser]

that is beyond my comprehension.
but it works without the  %U
have modified my post.
so thanks for the comment and correction.
regards.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

lol, no prob.

I just didn't want to add it to my next uploaded rebuild if I didn't know "what" it was doing or "if" it was needed.

The "_" at the beginning and ending inside the quotation marks is also not needed.

 

Thanks for the find!

I personally have no interest in videos (on the computer) any higher than 720p but I certainly understand why the capability needs to be there for those that do have that preference.

[rereser]

just trying to help.
new superpowers for 360chrome ...
underscores removed between the " " , got it.

I don't have any 360loader.ini. Does v12 have one?
