zTools on AMIStore : updates and suggestions thread

@zzd10h

Thank you very much. Atunes cover works now as it should.

@Raffaele1024KB

Replying to Raffaele1024KB from another thread...

Concerning your 2 websites request in WebReplay :

1) Popcorntv.it = no way for me to find movies url

2) Daisuki = it's possible but there are YouTube links => I will redirect them to OS4 SMTube (like I do for 2 others sites in WebReplay)

Therefore, if you was after these 2 sites, sorry.

But maybe that you can find some videos websites of interest in the following list :

Edit : send me a mail or PM if interested by the list please

@zzd10h

Thank you very much. But I am just interested in the sites i posted as they are "anomalous" respect other sites...


The important for me is that our software will support as many sites as possible. That's most important.


BTW on Daisuki.net when I spoof as IPad the site pops up a window saying it wants to load something from iTunes.

Does recent versions of iPad need code stored on itunes for playing videos?

Or perhaps Daisuki site has an account on iTunes and stores the movies there?

@Raffaele1024KB

Sorry, I have no idea for your question.

But, regarding PopCorntv.it, finally it seems to work.

I suceeded to grab some videos , for example :





but, it worked only for 2 videos, all the others that I tried gave me a 404 video :





What is strange is that it's the same results on my iPad.

Therefore :

1) is this site free ?
I think, because
"Non è necessario effettuare alcuna registrazione (escluso i file-video vietati dalla censura) né sottoscrivere alcun abbonamento."

2) Is this site have a temporary problem ?

3) Is this site allow only italian IP adress to grab videos ?
Maybe,
""POPCORN TV ha un Modulo di Geolocalizzazione.
Il modulo di geolocalizzazione consente il riconoscimento
dellindirizzo IP dellutente, inibendo e garantendo la visualizzazione di
un contenuto specifico sulla base dei diritti territoriali di distribuzione dei contenuti stessi.    "

Unfortunately, I tried to add many italian proxies on my ipad and Odyssey, but no luck (and overall no more network when I tried)

Is an italian Amigans could :
1) test this video to see if you have a 404 video on windows, MacOS or other ?
http://animemanga.popcorntv.it/guarda/last-exile-episodio-26/6184

2) or give me a working italian proxy address ?

3) say me if I'm wrong and that this site is not free at all

Thank you
Guillaume

Guillaume,

If I purchase ztools via Amistore, the subsequent updates are via amistore or amiupdate?

I suspect amistore.

If this is the case, what about to keep releasing an older version (may be with a gap of 3 releases) of your tools trough amiupdate anyway?

PS it is not matter of money, I'm just waiting for my FE copy, but this would attract new buyers

@ilbarbax

Hi Sandro,
Yes, all updates are through AMIStore.

Maybe that one day there will be a bridge between AMIStore and AmiUpdate... maybe...

Regarding, OS4Depot, I don't want to have many versions to manage.

Ciao
Guillaume

@zzd10h,
Quote:
I tried the link with winXP and firefox 35.0,
it work, I tried other videos and found the site
very very slow and sometimes I got connection errors
and no video available.
It use a flash player for ads, so maybe without it
it's impossible to see all videos

P.S. since I am a zTool purchaser if you want I can try
the webreplay modified and report what happens here in Italy

@pvanni

Thank you.

PM sent ;)

@zzd10h

PopcornTV.it worked at least until 2 or 3 months ago. The last time I navigate into it with PC Windows Opera or Firefox.

it requires FLASH PLAYER (at least for advertising)

Site is open.

Site is legal.

it works thru advertisings.

Before any movie/music clip/anime video, etc.. were shown OBLIGED 2 advertising videos to be watch.

You can't stop them or jump to the end, else the movie/anime video will be not visible.

it seems it is a new feature of flash players only for X86, so in the future to watch any site with the same technology any Amiga will be unuseful soon.

Daisuki works with the same FLASH technology.issue of popcornTV.

It shows 1 or 2 advertising, then the anime video.

PopcornTV is Italian.

Daisuki is Japanese.


it seems that flash technology is kept alive with this new form of sponsoring video sites.

We need to upgrade our flash players or found technology to bypass it, else will face more and more sites that requires watching advertising.

Thanks to the test of pvanni, videos seem to be only reachable with an italian IP.

The same link that give me a 404 video, works for him.

The proof with the manga link posted previously ;)





Without an italian proxy address, i will be unable to make something, is somebody have one ?


edit :
@Raffaele
It seems to work even without ads and flash, see above.

reedit : but pvanni said me that even on Windows a lot of videos are "404" :(

@zzd10h

Daisuki is japanese, and makes available videos internationally.

There are videos available or forbidden as long as the producer makes it available or not in certain nations.

(daisuki collects official streaming of japanese famous anime producers)

Check with it. It should work with many IPs.

[EDIT]

Does it work? You are great dude! :D

@Raffaele1024KB

As I said you earlier, Daisuki videos are YouTube videos => if I do something, it will be to send them to OS4 SMTube.

@Raffaele1024KB

PVanni, kindly send me 12 links that I requested.
For me all these links are 404 videos, for him, they work ;)

Therefore, I have integrated it to WebReplay.

Downloads & streaming work for the few videos availables for me in France.
Nevertheless, for streaming an Audio error occur IF Odyssey is open when you start the stream.
Maybe because of the little advice that is played inside the website.

But when WebReplay GUI is opened, Odyssey can be closed and all work fine.




@PVanni

I sent you by mail the updated WebReplay.
Thank you to test some Animes and Films

Unfortunately, no PopCorn.FR website available

OK, Pvanni approved (thank you for your tests) !

Available in the next zTools update.

Streaming an Anime :

@zzd10h,
I found that using FastView in singlepicture mode with the W and H
parameters hitting the space bar to have the view at 100%
nothing happen.
Here the exact command I am using:
FastView SINGLEPICTURE Odyssey__000.ilbm W=640 H=640

I dont know if it's normal

@pvanni

You are right, to be honest I don't remember if in fixed size mode, space bar recover the original dimension.

I will check my code tomorrow.
Thx for report

@zzd10h
thanks for the support, probabily I am the only one that
use this feature, in effect I was the one who requested it

@pvanni

It works now, fixed in the next release of zTools (begin of february).

"probabily I am the only one that use this feature"

Yes certainly but no problem, I am accustomed to make custom work.
My programs are full of functions used by only one guy (me ) !
