SMTube : new version on OS4Depot

@zzd10h

Excellent! Many thanks.
Seems to work well so far ;)

Although I don't get a download window and I do get an error on closing
.

just awesome!

@zzd10h
Many thanks works pretty well here :)

@ddni

The debug output at exit is "normal". Unfortunately, now, SMTube uses QtWebKit.

And like with QtWeb or InternetSurfBoard, OS4-Qt still have a debug trace that Alfkill didn't removed.

For DownloadVideo.rexx, could you :

1) check if you have DownloadVideo.rexx in your SMTube/Amiga directory

2) post a grab of your SMTube Settings players window

Thx

@Vulture @TommySammy
Great !

@zzd10h

Thanks. The Settings window is identical to the one in your screenshot. I have Downloadvideo.rexx in smtube/Amiga

Looking again, I think I was expecting a download progress window. I imagined that the file requestor in your screenshot was one... My mistake. All good here.

Thanks for getting this updated so quickly.

@ddni

Ah yes, sorry, i didn't explained that after the requester, the download "progress window" is simply a console with

"Downloading Video_filename..."

It's rudimentary...

Nevertheless, at the end of download, the drawer where is located your new downloaded file should be automatically opened. What a wonderful new feature !!!

And by using APPDIR:Curl instead of default APPDIR:wget you will be able to cancel a download.

@zzd10h

I have modified the download script to use Download which is far faster than wget or curl, provides a progress bar.

I have also changed it to open a dopus5 lister if workbench is not running.

Here is the script (use DICPNG to extract it):

@Severin

I couldn't extract the script. DICPNG kept saying wrong number of arguments until I specifically put in= and out=, and then the resulting file was corrupt. It's partially there but lots of null characters.

@Severin

i wonder, why to use dicpng instead of a simple lha for text files ?

@MickJT

Just tested it here, worked fine. I'm using ibrowse, did a save image as, then in dopus I have a filetype setup to use - dicpng in "{ou}" out "{d}{o-}" - when I alt click a png file.

Tested in shell with:

> copy Downloads:Download_Video_rexx.png ram:
> ram:
> dicpng in Download_Video_rexx.png out Download_Video_rexx
Restored 2767 -> 3913 (0.011 secs) : Download_Video_rexx.png -> Download_Video_rexx

You MUST use save image, do not click the image or save link etc.

The IN/OUT thing is annoying and the docs are wrong about not being required. It's either a porting error by kas1e or the original dev changed something or wrote the docs then never bothed to implement it, who knows? it works, that's good enough for me.

Quote:

1. I don't have any webspace so nowhere to host files myself so I have to use free public file hosts.

2. A lot of public file hosts do not work on an amiga.

3. Those that do work put up loads of adverts and/or fake download buttons that try to install some custom app.

4. Some filehosts randomly convert the lha into a windows exe with adverts etc. that are shown before extracting and of course don't work on amigas.

5. http://postimg.org/ lets me quickly upload a png, keeping it's original filename and it works on all amiga browsers.

6. DICPNG means I can post any content in a forum with a direct link to a file displayed directly on the page, no clicking a link, it fails because it's https:, edit link, retry, fails as I'm using an incompatable browser, run another browser, try again, fails because a full screen advert pops up in a new tab that I can't get past and closes the previous tab automatically or just overwrites the link page. retry again and it sometimes works depending on how greedy the site owners are...

@Severin

I'll try one more time.

Corrupted file.

I was going to ask about which versions of z.library and png.library you have, but it doesn't use them despite what the docs say.

It works when I create my own png and extract that.

Edit 2: I tried a large .tar.gz file, made it into a .png, but that extracted incorrectly.

@MickJT

Maybe it's a byte inversion problem because you're hanging off the bottom of the world?

No idea to be honest, it's always just worked for me. The png file should be 2,767 bytes.

@Severin

Can't get it working properly on my own files either (some do, some don't). Does it work for you if you try larger files, such as a 1MB archive?

Edit: I tried it also under OS4.1 FE Classic on WinUAE. Corrupt there too. The size is correct, but many null characters.

Edit2: 68k version extracts it okay.

@zzd10h

nice!
However I've still a problem htat ever get...
Why my output shell of mplayer wasnt closeable? I can only minimize it(I'm using afxgroup's mplayer)...

Was a common issue? Also noticed that the program wasnt so stable(at least here...), after few videos played IO get some pthread crash...

My problem?

@Severin

OK, I understand now.

@Tuxedo

"Why my output shell of mplayer wasnt closeable?"

Yes, if you speak about "smTube AmigaOS4 console" me too, using LiveForIt MPlayer or MickJT-MPlayer is not closable. But for me, I prefer to have this debug window.

You could try to add the option "-really-quiet >NIL:" to MPlayer in PlayVideo.rexx. Not tested at all.

"pthread crash"
Try to switch from "wget" to "curl" (or Severin Downloader, not tested).
In latest WebReplay version, I added the option to use Curl instead of wget and it solved all my pthread BSDSocket.library DSI.

Can't click in the window and press Q?

@MickJT

Are all your Qt libs up to date ?

See here for instructions :

@zzd10h

That wasn't a bug report or statement. I was responding and asking a question to Tuxedo and you, and suggesting you can press Q to close the window. If I said "Can't you click...." it would have been clearer, sorry. I've never used smtube before, but plan to check it out sometime soon... probably.

There are differences between Q and Ctrl-C. Q and ESC are probably the same. I know you can get crashes on some versions of mplayer (maybe pthread-caching related) if you ctrl-c. The problem is if you're playing an audio-only file, you've got no choice unless you want to turn the volume down and wait.

Or am I misunderstanding, and you're referring to be able to close the window on LiveForIt's version while the video is playing? You can use *>NIL: and >NIL: or probably some quiet options to avoid the window opening in the first place.

@MickJT

"That wasn't a bug report or statement."

Sorry, i misunderstood..

"You can use *>NIL: and >NIL: or probably some quiet options to avoid the window opening in the first place."

It's what I suggested too to him in my previous post.
