..without any plugins. Only make sure that you have mplayer and set your mimetype video/* to use mplayer or gmplayer. I put the arguments to %l >nil: to avoid any verbose output.
It does streaming of videos in mp* format.

Allmost forgot.. The address www.cfclan.nl/youtube/

it indeed works:)
thx for the info!

Yes, but it would even be better to have a mplayer plugin, where the player is integrated in the browser, with support for mms:// url's. Could also be used in the flash plugin to speed up playing of flv videos.

That would give access to a lot of new sites from MorphOS.

Soon, you won't need the flash plugin. HTML5 is coming

They say it already works in Safari which is webkit based. Also in Chrome. It's also, according to the comments on that site, more efficient!

Pssst, hint: OWB is also webkit based

Isn't that what the "Direct Video Render" option enables?

For instance?

Which helps nothing for non-video Flash contents, unfortunately.

Oh, nice. Took a while before they followed Dailymotion's footsteps.

Yes it sure speed it up. Still mplayer plays the same flv file faster.

Was mosty thinking about tv-channels's and newspapers sites where a player is integrated in the page, Then we just get the "protocol mms:// is not supported" error. A bit sad since mplayer does support it. On the other hand, more and more of them are changing to flash video.

Grab the address in OWB history and manually plug it in to mplayer. A hassle but...

Nice. BTW, apart from the other benefites enlisted there, watching an HTML5 videos takes almost 4x less CPU usage than watching the Flash version in Safari on my PowerMac. To appreciate this, imagine all of a sudden your battery lasting 4x longer on a portable...

One of the oldest web pages that I know of:

Flash is evil

It's so old that the it only covers the very mild (compared to today's) usage of Flash, back in the early days of this century. Go figure what would the author say today...

I`ve set up the mime type and You tube light now works (though only with Mplayer,not GMplayer). However most of the videos seem stutery, if I play the same videos from the real You tube they play fine.

Any reason why this may be?

It would work with mplayer in gui mode as well, with "foo:bar/mplayer -gui 1 %l".

Regarding playback, it depends on your video resolution, bitrate, network speed, your machine speed, ...
If you request a 720p h264 video, better have a macmini, fast network (and even then, i'd download it first). For lower specs videos, i guess your bottleneck is more related to network speed or missing cache option.

Just for fun,

No sound yet, and blitting speed can't be compared to a standalone mplayer (it still behaves quite better than flash plugin though :)).

@fab, wow looks awesome!

Fab
Exciting and impressive at the same time.. when can we expect full support?

Hi Fab,

Thank you, the playback is much smoother for some reason using the gui with this command:-

It would work with mplayer in gui mode as well, with "foo:bar/mplayer -gui 1 %l".

I have added > nil: but still get some output as below:-

FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming 128kbit/s!
[swscaler @ 0x28aa52c8]ALTIVEC: Color Space RGB24

@deakmann,

you could use "run > nil: path:to/mplayer -gui 1 %l" if you want to suppress the output.

A VOTRE SANTE ! MERCI FAB

Vimeo's HTML5 mode doesn't work here anymore with OWB. Can anyone confirm this?

Still works. This one does, anyway: http://vimeo.com/18439821

> Still works.

Yes, it seems to be connected to the 'HD' switch. I made the following observation: When I go to a HD video's page 'HD' is turned on by default (blue). Clicking play automatically turns off 'HD' (grey) and indeed plays the video. Clicking 'HD' while video is playing in non-'HD' mode won't turn 'HD' on, i.e. video will stop. What made me think it wouldn't work at all any more is this: Go to a video's page, turn 'HD' off and only then try to play the video. Result here: video doesn't play.

Can you play any of Yomgui's videos?
