I can confirm the same problem in the most recent release of New Moon 28 (2024-10-11). I replaced gkmedias.dll file (9.862.144 Bytes) by the previous one (9.989.632 Bytes), and the error is history. 4

I got a crash log with proper pdb file supplied in https://github.com/roytam1/basilisk55/issues/10#issuecomment-2408527740 so the problem is thread local storage introduced in https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo/commit/f579cc11b33e5bfeb9931e37cc74b4a33c95d2e6 , and I'm going to `#define THREAD_LOCAL ` to turn this off. EDIT: alright all gkmedias.dll are replaced in today's release Edited October 12 by roytam1 6

I assume all your random crashes are related to the already reported gkmedias.dll issue. Right? If so, you can replace this file with the previous one without having to completely revert to the previous version of New Moon 28. I mention this as I have been testing the new release the last hours. After replacing the gkmedias.dll file, this new release of New Moon 28 seems to be working fine so far.

I first experienced a crash on this very forum. Roytam1 has uploaded new versions with gkmedias.dll replaced. Now everything is OK again. 3
Slavich Posted October 13 Posted October 13 (edited) 20 hours ago, roytam1 said: thats something different which is filed in upstream: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2645 In the NM28 versions for August 2022, video content on Youtube and VK is played without problems. In 2018, on Google Chrome 48, with a lower connection speed, it was possible to watch 1440 videos without problems. Now the maximum is 1080 and with a slowdown due to the maximum load on the processor Athlon II X3 455 (3300 Hz, 3 cores). Edited October 13 by Slavich

Very inspiring and helpful. Does Rammstein's Adieu fit well when reading them? I keep running into issues when slightly deviating from few select sites and it doesn't inspire positivity, even though I'm sure I'm one of the most positive people here when it comes to UXP. How many of you have financially contributed to development? I have, and it wasn't just a couple of bucks. @Slavich You should take that reading after YT's interface is fully loaded.

It was just an observation I made when reading your comments. I'm someone who likes to say what I think, sometimes very directly. And as for Rammstein, I'm sorry to say that I've never been a fan.

AstroSkipper Posted October 13 Posted October 13 I avoid the original YouTube interface as it has become useless for me the last years. I use instead the VORAPIS V3 script which is really great. I therefore no longer notice whether the original interface has become even worse. 2

I use it with Serpent 52.9; download Firefox addon h264ify (v1.1) it installs and works well in Serpent and Youtube works much better/normally again.

Here is what I'm seeing in NM28 "out-of-the-box". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyhFQmSaf0g No issues here. I'll try in a POS computer instead.
NotHereToPlayGames Posted October 13 Posted October 13 (edited) I hover around 46% with latest NM28 and my POS computer. Not great. But this is literally "out-of-the-box", fresh download, brand new profile. Adding VORAPIS (I use the TurboLauncher script via Greasemonkey) is likely the best it gets for NM28 and real POS computers.

Are you saying older versions of NM28 no longer get you the performance they used to? Also, is GPU acceleration working on your system? It's written on about:support page, should say Direct3D 9 in second row under Graphics in Windows XP if I recall correctly. 1 hour ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: I did try your beloved VORAPIS V3 and there are some pros to it.

Well, it should be almost like old YouTube, though you said you didn't really use it in the old days. Actually, for me at least, I almost don't miss any exclusive script for stock YT, except Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass. I don't "need" it often, but it's handy. 1 hour ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: Adding VORAPIS (I use the TurboLauncher script via Greasemonkey) is likely the best it gets for NM28 and real POS computers. While it's a good idea, I'd just like to add it wasn't formally released in that form that seems to actually work properly. Yes, the main script was released and available on https://vorapis.pages.dev/, but doesn't work properly as-is in Greasemonkey. They're planning the standalone extension, again, not formally released yet. Link to the post with the script again: On an unrelated note, their (Project VORAPIS developers) primary communication channel is Discord. I don't "dig" Discord at all, it looks like a very messy medium for communication. It's completely unfit as a source for anything regarding a project like VORAPIS. Is that the level modern "gamers" have stomped down to? If they're even gamers, I just hear it's very popular among gamers. Though we also have a giant thread for a bunch of web browsers here, which isn't a whole lot better either. But at least it's on a forum. Edited October 13 by UCyborg

BTW, your investigations of the VORAPIS V3 interface are strange. On my old and very weak Windows XP computer, the original YouTube interface is a real disaster. It takes ages to load and only with tons of scripts, filters and extensions, it can be accessed but when scrolling the page a bit, the loading of unwanted crap starts again with a 100% CPU usage. In contrast, the VORAPIS V3 interface is loaded in less than a minute, and the usage of CPU and RAM is much, much less as it is with the original interface, even when scrolling the page a bit. So, no swan song but stating facts. Edited October 13 by AstroSkipper 3
