Well,

I tested everything I could, I checked that everything was set up correctly.

I rebooted many times.

And no video (and I tried a lot) is being played on my PowerMac G5 2.7 Ghz with a Radeon 9650 (MPlayer works without trouble).

Any idea? Is it my system which is unsupported?

Wayfarer 1.12 (17.04.2021)
cgxvideo.library (in MOSSYS:Libs and also in Libs:) 43.18 (16/04/2021)

I'm giving up for the moment, I spent a lot of time on this and couldn't play anything.

I am quite impressed. On first testing quite a lot works: youtube really nice already. www.tagesschau.de and the mediathek of daserste.de, too. zdf mediathek, arte.tv or kika.de seem not to work as of yet. n-tv partially already. I think that is quite big already.

Great job!

Thanks !

I copied the new cgxvideo.library to LIBS: and MOSSYS:LIBS (to be sure).
I rebooted
I launched Wayfarer
I have activated the experimental media player in the prefs.

... And no video is played. I tried on YouTube and on PeerTube and still the same error messag : the video cannot be played.

BTW. videos do play without setting the MediaSource Playback too, and you might get less "experimental" experience then, but lose higher resolutions or so.

And if you want to tune the quality of the playback, there's the Deblocking Filter setting to play with.

Ah, OK. Now it works. Thank you.
BTW, it's 'koszer' not 'kozer' :)

The video playback is not perfect yet, but definitely a huge step forward. Great work!

Great news! Can’t wait to try it out

Thanks to Jaca and all the rest of the MorphOS team, watching youtube and typing this right now on my G5 and the world is good!

Thanks Jaca and others membres MOSTeam !!

@Kozer: Not LIBS: but MOSSYS:LIBS

I get the same thing. Copied the library, rebooted and getting the same error in YT. Even tried spoofing as Chrome, but alas.

Direct video playing is also supported. Subtitles too, but who needs subtitles for pron :P

Hmm, are there any special tricks to make it work?

I've copied the cgxvideo.library to LIBS: and checked the "Media Source Playback [EXPERIMENTAL]" in Settings/Media, but YT doesn't seem to like me. It says "You cannot play this video in your web browser. More information" :(

Yes it does youtube.

Yay! Does it mean YouTube video playback?

Ouaou !!! Excellent !!!

Thanks jaca !!!

Wayfarer 1.12 is now out! Get it from https://wayfarer.icu.

Changes include:
- Overlay based video playback
- Experimental support for Media Source
- Improvements in HLS playback
- Other fixes and improvements

I was attempting to read the HHV (html) manual for PageStream v4 and v5 which I have done often using OWB v1.25, and with other versions of OWB, by using "Open file" menu option, but even though Wayfarer opens the file (softlogik.html) it fails to load the page with images and text, and the same occurs on subsequent pages of the HHV (html) manual.

Has anyone else noticed or tested this functionality of Wayfarer and noticed this issue with other such manuals/older web/html pages?

That would be awesome. If you could combine it with an optional setting where the user could select a (dark like Ater) MUI theme for the browser to accompany Dark Mode selection, that would be even better (plus the auto timing configuration perhaps).

Edit: Eruda already has a theme selection for anyone interested (located on Eruda/Settings), which in combination with Ater, or a similar dark MUI theme give a very clean and stylish look for the browser :)

I'm not sure you need an actual CSS file... There's a configuration switch in WebKit that enables dark mode support. I've toggled it locally now and will see if I can make this work...

Jaca, do you happen to have any good dark theme css file? Or do you know whether to found one? So it can be used on Settings/Default CSS. Vivaldi has a dark mode which I suppose it uses some css to force invert the colors on websites. It isn't perfect but it's good enough for regular usage. However idk how to locate and/or extract it (if its a css file after all).
Would be cool if - for example - there was an option for Wayfer to check the system clock and after a specific time (set by the user), to change at dark theme. I have loaded some css dark themes but everything I found seems half baked :/

Exciting times! Keep up the brilliant work jacadcaps!

@ jacadcaps - Wow ! That's impressive, and probably ahead of schedule anyway?

Worthy of praise, and a donation I think, which I hope you are able to share a little with any others involved in this work?

The MorphOS betatesters got their hands on the initial video playback enabled Wayfarer today. Works continues - gotta add fullscreen support now.

Void has had PPC patches for quite a while now and I am both using their work and have contributed to their patches myself. It does look like the CLoop fix finally got accepted into WebKit though, which is nice.

@jacadcaps
Thanks for your enthusiasm and for your news-update!

BTW got it on #gentoo-powerpc IRC that the PPC Void Linux guy got webkit-gtk dev and will upstream his PPC patches in time. Hopefully this will lighten MorphOS webkit-gtk maintanance too, at least a bit?

BBC and F1 should work once I overcome the current issues.

Hit a wall last week and had no other choice than to update from ffmpeg2 to ffmpeg4. Unfortunately the decoding API was changed significantly between the two, so I am still dealing with the fallout. ffmpeg2 was really unstable with chunked media though, so this will be for the best.

Seeking is now working in Media Source streams and quite well too, considering how complex it is compared to just seeking within a single file. Since I'm now internally dealing with key frames, I was also able to adjust the video frameskip code to jump between keyframes when catching up to audio (when there's a big enough delta between the two).

The current ETA for the release is by the end of May.
