If you need a site which 100% displays the OWB Mediaplayer crash, just visit http://www.uberhumor.com
There are two to three small videos playing back at the right side of the page (all of them playing back the same vid, at least with Odyssey fix 4). If it doesn't crash on the fist page, just scroll down and enter the second page, let the vids run and sooner or later it will crash.
Maybe the page will help to finally nail that annoying bug
@Raziel I just clicked the link and just let it sit on that page. It started throwing up grim reapers after 5 minutes. Odyssey has a menu settings to disable image loading; it would be nice to have a menu setting to disable video loading and a pop-up menu to enable video load and play for a specific video. I hate auto-play videos when I just want to read the text on a WEB page.

How many developers we have? It's really confusing that nobody has will to fix WebKit. Or nobody cares about web browser on NG systems? Where is the problem?
I think we still have quite a few developers... just mostly not with enough spare time to devote to a huge/complex project like Odyssey/WebKit (due to either not enough Amiga coding time, or too busy with other Amiga coding projects - or both in my case!).
I'd have thought that a web browser is one of *the* most important things on any OS these days, but it is also one of the largest & most difficult, since web browsers have become almost like mini OSes in their own right.
And well, Odyssey does basically work (for many sites anyway), so depending on the person they might not find it causes them much inconvenience. I might even speculate that developers tend to visit less demanding websites on the whole, since they're more likely to be coding than aimlessly browsing the web...
@ChrisH That is part of the problem. I wonder how many developers were approached whether they were interested. Everybody just waits for deadwood to do everything, instead of trying to recruit someone to do the job. I highly doubt that any of the PPC Linux guys were asked for example, some of whom even frequent Amiga-related forums due to their involvement with A-Eon.
Regarding this endian issue...is it somekind of a fundamental issue, where somebody has to fix thousands of lines of code, or some sort of a needle in a haystack case where something has just got wrong and nobody knows where?
If it "just broke" at some point, is it possible to diff the source and try get closer to the problem?
16.01.2016: Update to Odyssey (only executable changed) - fixed messages console to display messages - made aligned allocation not take additional memory - made memory allocator work better with fragmented memory - fixed major memory leak where Frames were not released together with their JS data - memory no longer continously consumed while browsing - fixed a number of small memory leaks - implemented a more agreesive memory freeing strategy which keeps allocated memory as low as possible
This is exactly what i was waiting for...and probably others as well
Yep, that it. Sad to hear, as it mean we need to make a choice: or site for BillE will not works, but we will have your one works. Or for BillE it will works, odyssey will have last openssl, but your one didn't works :)
Probably we need to ask Mick to make some openssl tests. Mick, can you check that ?
Hmm, what's causing this? Is it the site that sends wrong SSL information? I thought with the latest OpenSSL "all" of the SSL problems are taken care of?
