Pstreamvid v 1.3 - Streaming Video Controller
Good idea;
I usually only use gxine for dvds', because mplayers often skip
the opening menu on dvds'.
Gxine uses a little more ram than mplayer and has a more
cluttered window.

Full installs
1. Puppy 4.2.1-rc3
Installed: mplayer-1.0rc2-071007-1->rebooted.
Installed: Pstreamvid-1.2-8->rebooted.
Pstreamvid runs OK, and channels play and display OK, BUT...
Unable to move video display windows to fully on-screen; "Alt+spacebar",M can not be used to move the window [Alt+spacebar mutes the audio]; nor can "Alt+middle button" move the window [it re-sizes the window].
Anyone know which key combinations do the necessary?
Firefox runs, but takes all of 2min 10sec just to get to the "Restore previous session?" dialog.
Also takes ages to close Firefox windows.
2. Will attempt a clean boot of Puppy 4.2.1-rc3 ASAP.
Never done that with Puppy booted from Flash Drive and WakePup2 bootable floppy.
Hope it's simple enough.
Only ever done that with a Puppy "live" optical disk.

Ok,
At this time I am in Slaxer_pup with JWM-456 (compiled for Slaxer_pup) installed. No issues with older Gxine. . Fullscreen default . (Slaxer_pup is entirely 4.1.2, only the kernel is changed to 2.6.27.7)
Cheers

Anyway, all good with Pstreamvid 1.3 itself? Great!

When 'installed pet' menu appears, there is the usual installed to many menu entries. I found this to be a problem caused by - instead of _ in the pet name.
Did you see Barrys message in his blog to you?

BoxPup 4.1.3
Pstreamvid:
Uninstalled v1.2-8->rebooted.
Installed v1.3->rebooted.
Run Pstreamvid: <1sec to load; <1sec to close.
Love the new tabs and how quick/responsive v1.3 is.
Gxine doesn't work in BoxPup [because Gxine isn't installed I guess ]
Mplayer in use:
Time between "Play" and video window appearing:
2sec = France24; SkyNews.
3sec = NASA; BBC.
5sec = Fox11.
9sec = NBC.
Firefox:
10sec = To get to the Firefox "restore" button.
7sec = From the restore button to Firefox windows opening.

OUTSTANDING TRIO!!
Every thing I complained about has disappeared with v. 1.3.
On some channels the load and unload speed is faster than I've
ever seen before.
I'm very happy.
Great Job!

Thanks, now it's time to move on. Pstreamvid 1.3 is polished and stable, it will be in 4.3 beta1. Let's hope somebody fixes gxine -f option.
I'm on to next project. That is to make sfsinstaller gui that I made for current 4 series, adheres to 4.3 new petget and structure. So installed sfs can be uninstalled in 4.3

My name aint URL:
I thought pstreamvid wouldn;t do http streams. I was wrong.
I was trying to load the url direct from streamsniffer into
pstream, instead of copying to a text editor first.
Not only does it play http, it plays them in both gxine and
mplayer.
Here's a few streams to try.
http://ia331425.us.archive.org/2/items/ ... p4?start=0
A great animated film by Nina Paley. Based on the Sanskrit poem
"Ramayama of Valmiki" I think Lobster might dig this.
http://ia301505.us.archive.org/1/items/ ... p4?start=0
"Attack of the flesh eating bog monster from the center of the earth
and beyond the moon" A spoof of old scifi films.
These movies are from this site:
http://www.archive.org/index.php
Supposedly 190 thousand video pieces in the "moving images"
archive.
Or 150 billion pages of text, if your into reading.
have fun

Barry has decided to revert to fully functional gxine 0.5.9 (good call!), unfortunately I already designed pstreamvid 1.3 to prepare for 0.5.94. Anyway patch is provided in main post. Please install it. Thanks
15 Aug 2009 - reverting to gxine 0.5.9 (430 Beta1) - will replace /usr/local/pstreamvid/functions
