Youtube - Fresh new thread...

[MyMe]

i can make it work in firefox 3 beta 5

[1EightT]

Doesn't work for me in ff3 or IE7. The videos never load, but the player is shown now.

works good using ff2, safari, and opera on my vista laptop and using ff2 on my fedora box. but, i have never had it work using ie7. i noticed that the cgi proxies work in youtube using ie7, so i guess its possible.

Just tested with IE7, works fine for me, ,

Also it works with FF ver 2.0.0.13...


BTW I am using Glype 0.5.3

YouTube has now updated their site again and the plugin works in Firefox and Internet Explorer however the fullscreen support seems to be broken in Internet Explorer. I'm looking for a fix now.

[darkness193]

Ok here's the fix for fullscreen video in IE, the video replace has been moved to postParse so that the embed code isn't edited by the proxy. I've entirely redone the embed code, since alot of what was in there isn't used by the new version of the player.

HI darkness, Your plugin doesnt work with Encode Page on. In I.e7 and Firefox.

[darkness193]

Hmm I'll take another look.

[darkness193]

Ok well the reason it's not working with page encoding on is because it's looking for the player div after the proxy is done encoding it, so obviously it's not going to get found because the source code is garbled. This is a bit of a problem because the only way to get fullscreen working in IE is to use javascript or the <embed> tag JavaScript can't be used because it needs to be implanted into the page header. The only way to do it therefore is with the embed tag which the proxy attempts to rewrite if it's implanted into the page before or during the main proxy parser which means that it has to be done after the main parser. So the only suggestion(s) I can offer is to add code to force page encoding off for YouTube or scrap fullscreen. I've added some code to force page encoding to be turned off, I thought I might aswell seeing as encoding does mess up some of the display for some of YouTube anyway.

[darkness193]

Here's one with encoding set to off for YouTube (fullscreen working):
