Pity it's written in Python (though Windows has a native exe) and slower than grass growing.

Youtube URL Extractor.

@Spectre660 - Where does one get that program to run on MorphOS?

I see YouTube is totally broken now on OWB no matter what spoofing I select. I would like to try the latest MPlayer with Youtube, but I don't know how to extract the URL's

Thanks

Another possibility to extract url was kindly provided by jPV in this thread. (post # 4).

You are right!

I have to do it via TonVid because OWB doesn't show any videos on YouTube anymore :(

But, I pulled a 720p stream and it's perfect on iMac G5 iSight with MPlayer! Very good!

I think, OWB needs a workaround or update.

The YTsite itself does not work, but the YT videos themselves still work (here). I mean YTis google anyway, hence I don't use the YT interface, but the google video search. The videos just play fine. Unfortunately additional information is getting lost. But at least the videos do work. Not ideal, but kind of okay.
Is that different in your case?

For the moment it works! But, as we have seen many times before, it's only aquestion of time, till this will be unusable too.
I switched to invidious, which works. Only issue: videos cannot loaded directly to Mplayer......

Hi all,

I created a script InvidiousPlayer by modifying my InvidiousDL script to play the videos with MPlayer instead of downloading them.

Additionally it can convert YouTube urls (like https://youtu.be/<id> or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<id>)
to invidious urls and play them!

After configuring in OWB you can play Invidous and YouTube URLs just play selecting InvidiousPlayer from the context menu of such a URL.

Download it here: InvidiousPlayer.lha

Hey igracki thanks for this! Works great. I did have to edit your script however as invidio.us is down. I needed to change the link in the script to invidious.xyz for the youtube conversion to work again. Also where can i grab the DL script from?

I also saw mention of needing a newer ffmpeg and ffplay. I totally agree. As a new reg'd user I'd really like to watch twitch.tv on MOS. Mplayer still after all these years can't cope with split streams. Versions of vlc, mpv and ffplay had this ability years ago. I'd gladly donate $50 USD to whoever can make that happen.

Cheers

@MoerBoer: Thanks. Had a c64 and amiga 2000 back in grade school & high school. Figured i'd check out MOS more in depth finally. I had been playing with various demo releases over the years, but once i saw news of wayfarer, iris and an updated mplayer i finally dedicated a mac mini to it, and bought a key as well.

@Andreas_Wolf: Thanks for the link. Not sure how i missed that in the last few weeks scouring that site.

@jacadcaps: Nice. That would be a great feature for sure. I'd still like a current ffplay as well though as external players use way less cpu on these G4's.

Cheers

Actually, ffplay is just a "simple" frontend for ffmpeg. The actual HLS or HTTP Live Streaming support (a.k.a. "split streams") is part of ffmpeg/libavformat. In the end, MPlayer also uses ffmpeg for most of its decoding/encoding/muxing and/or data transport.

In theory, it even works to use HLS to some degree already with the current MPlayer 1.4beta1 port via its command line interface if you pass some http(s)://#?.m3u(8) URL there.
It just doesn't work at all from the "Open Stream" menu in the user interface currently.
I'll check if there is some easy way to add that to the current MPlayer port.

The problem isn't with current ffmpeg, it's with mplayer itself (on any OS). It can't "merge" the split twitch streams to play continuously. What happens with mplayer and twitch is that it plays the 1st 8 second stream, then pauses and buffers the 2nd stream, plays 8 seconds, then pauses, buffers, plays 8 seconds, etc etc. It's unwatchable. Even MPlayer2 (which eventually became mpv) from 2012 can play twitch seamlessly. I use mplayer2 on a lubuntu 12.04 ppc install, and ffplay on OS X 10.5.8 for twitch without issue. Mplayer is great for pretty much everything else though, and i'm happy a current version is available.

Cheers

Hi cyfm,

Been using MPlayer since some time now and I have two questions :

Why can't I play a file with a size higher than 4 GB?

Is it possible to cache stream files (mainly YouTube ones) since without caching, videos can stutter?

These should work as parameters:

-cachenetwork -cache [size in kBytes]

Depends on your filesystem! You need a 64Bit-filesystem, which can handle files > 4GB. Use ICE-filesystem or NTFS.

But of course I tested with IceFS, NTFS, Ext2 and even SMBFS, otherwise I could not have seen that files biger than 4Gbs could not be played

No, this doesn't work (I tested of course). When playing a YT stream, I have a message saying : this stream is not cacheable.

It might indeed be possible that MPlayer isn't build with 64bit file I/O.

Oh drat. As an ugly workaround, you could download the stream with -dumpstream -dumpfile [filename] (or some SSL/TLS-capable cURL or Wget binary) and have the file replayed with some temporal offset while it is still being downloaded. Such solution would be scriptable.

This is what I'm usually doing : I download the file and play it after while (long live the fiber ! :) ).

That's strange! Works here without problems - from HD or network (Mplayer 1.4-beta1).
