Goodmorning everybody
Thanks @Dronecatcher for being my partner in crime , I presume the compiled version is on Leopard ?
Guess I'll have to recompile on Tiger also .
I just want to double-check this evening when I'm back at home , I'll update the first post then.
Yes, Leopard version, complied and (briefly) tested on my DLSD
Looking good on my PB 12" 1.5 , finally got around to check this, first page has been updated.
@pochopsp could you post me an example URL which no longer worked with SMTube 18.1 ?
@Dronecatcher my dual-boot Tiger/Leo PB is still in a coma after my paste renewal/m-SATA SSD upgrade and
it looks that I never took a CarbonCopy which I could boot on another machine.
Do you have the time and the means to compile a Tiger 18.9 version , pretty please ?
@Dronecatcher Your new version works great, thanks a lot !!!
@Lastic can't give you a url as in the last few days no video was working anymore...

I don't have a setup good to go for this yet but I'll see what I can do..no promises though
@Lastic I did a build for tiger. Though I can't exactly guarantee it works because 1) I never used the app before and 2) It's built on leopard with toolchain options to build for 10.4. If it does work you just have to put the following line somewhere at the top of src/smtube.pro when on 10.5:
By looking at the load commands in the mach-o I assume it'll work, though. I have no machine running 10.4 right now.
..Enjoy!
Code:
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.4"By looking at the load commands in the mach-o I assume it'll work, though. I have no machine running 10.4 right now.
..Enjoy!
Not working on my Tiger G4 iMac - doesn't open and Console simply reports "smtube crashed"
There's nothing related to dyld? If it didn't even try there must be some bad version complaint or something. Can you dump on the thread every line that gets logged when you open it ? That might be something obvious that I overlooked if I can get to see it.
That's all there is that I quoted (plus line saying crash report written to.....etc)
Okay, that confirms what I've found, thanks for dumping it. I'm looking at what command line argument I'm missing
Okay, I think I've found the culprit. For a matter of testing myself, I think I still have my clamshell lying somewhere with a tiger install. I'd forgotten about it.
[doublepost=1538352152][/doublepost]It was what I suspected(would've been better being something else). Since my build was linked againt a 10.5-only qt framework, even though I would throw in compiler options for 10.4 as a minimum req, the dynamic linking with a 10.5-only qt would still break binary compatibility with 10.4. Had to download lastic's mpkg on his other thread for tiger, install it on my snow leopard macbook (else my powermac's macports tree would break) and cross-compile it there. It was a PITA. I tested on a 10.4 install and it works. Please say it works XD

Wow you guys have been busy whilst I was asleep last night.
Thanks @Dronecatcher , @XaPHER
I will put your compiled SMTube in the Tiger thread once more people can confirm that it works on Tiger.
Will make work of a CarbonCopy backup of a Tiger install again so I can boot up one to do compiles.

Using this method, video streaming on my PB G4 is far more pleasant than any other solution I've used before, but I still have one minor issue holding it back from perfection.
If I pause a video in MPlayer, and wait more than a minute or so (if I wait long enough to go make a cup of coffee from my Keurig even), then when I resume it will play a few seconds then close. Then of course I have to reopen the video and find my place, which is a bit annoying since MPlayer gives no indication of the timestamp you're at while the video is playing. Has anyone else run into this or perhaps even resolved it already?

I have experienced this - if was going to be away from the screen I'd copy the url from the browser and just download the video using one of my scripts - play it and skip forward.
Ahh, ok. Sounds like the same as I'm doing except I generally just reopen the video from SMTube which I generally still have open.
Any advantage of downloading it instead of streaming in that case? On my G4, skipping forward is smooth on streaming and I'm not on a metered connection.
I've just tried this and the video resumes, I must state that I'm running mplayer windowed , do you guys have this issue running mplayer full screen or so ? What is the length of your videos and the preferred resolution ?
I'm actually going to make coffee now
so I'll pause it a bit longer whilst reading the mps-youtube thread .[doublepost=1541343717][/doublepost]And it crashed on me also , will look further into it.
