nicolaasjan Posted Saturday at 05:51 PM Posted Saturday at 05:51 PM (edited) Test binary of yt-dlp for XP, made with Python 3.10.18 from a new Python 3.10 environment provided by @cmalex: See link in signature. Did not work on Windows Vista @VistaLover Edited Saturday at 07:59 PM by nicolaasjan
user57 Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM Csr functions useally came from csrsrv.dll i think CsrNewThread is just a different name for CsrCreateThread those are often very similiar to CreateThread or NtCreateThread it would be about looking its parameters and purpose for exact detail, but xp has many of these functions https://www.geoffchappell.com/studies/windows/win32/csrsrv/api/process/thread.htm

user57 Posted yesterday at 12:07 AM Posted yesterday at 12:07 AM there CsrNewThread is just a redirection to NtRegisterThreadTerminatePort if thats all you just have to use NtRegisterThreadTerminatePort, xp has that function

Can you at least upload manually to GitHub, where it'll be more visible and with a permanent link? Thanks ... (OT: I have serious issues with my landline since Aug 19th, my tel. number isn't working at all and my ADSL+ internet access is quite fickle; my ISP don't really know what's goin' on, they said I have to give them time until Sep 3rd (!) for them to identify the true nature of the problems ... ) Sometime later today, hopefully, I'll further comment on your previous post ...

user57 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago right NTSTATUS NTAPI CsrNewThread(VOID) { return NtRegisterThreadTerminatePort(CsrApiPort); } while CsrApiPort is defined as HANDLE (HANDLE CsrApiPort;) in this case that CsrApiPort variable must to be filled

After having downloaded both of them however it's actually 242kbps (H.264) and 488kbps (VP9). I normally always watch the VP9 stream, so I wasn't expecting such a big difference. P.s. How lame I even have to use Microsoft Edge (my alternative browser) to create this post, because with Palemoon after having added the codeblock the window won't disappear for me to continue typing. 1
