Ok,

At this time I am in Slaxer_pup with JWM-456 (compiled for Slaxer_pup) installed. No issues with older Gxine. Cool

. Fullscreen default Very Happy

. (Slaxer_pup is entirely 4.1.2, only the kernel is changed to 2.6.27.7)

Cheers

Pstreamvid loads in about 2 sec.
BBC = 4 sec.
Fox11 = 4 sec
France24 = 3 sec.
NASA = 4 sec.
SkyNews = 2 sec.

2 small niggles.

pet.specs is being left in /

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?

Love the new tabs and how quick/responsive v1.3 is.
Gxine doesn't work in BoxPup [because Gxine isn't installed I guess Wink

]

2sec = France24; SkyNews.
3sec = NASA; BBC.

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!

Rjbrewer, sylvander, micko, tasmod, et all

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/Sita_Sings_the_Blues/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_small.mp4?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/bog_monster/bog_monster_512kb.mp4?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

A tip, if you want gXine to open 200% window when "Full Screen Mode is off" then you edit /root/.gxine/config to this:

# The main window's default size
# { 50% 75% 100% 150% 200% }, default: 0
gui.window_size:200%

Works well with mplayer on my laptop; pc playback is jerky.
