Are there any programs like PPCMC that run on Early Intel machines? (Ones that run Snow Leopard).

I know that, theoretically I could use Iteroni, or youtube (it still works) but I am specifically looking a way to run them like PPCMC, that you can stream and it pops out into a window, like this:

It would be helpful, and save some CPU and pop out players are handy.
 
I find that TenSixTube works alright on my 2009 13", but not as fast as using a standalone player.

May be possible to compile PPCMC for Intel Macs, it should be relatively easy given that old versions of Xcode had that tools needed to recompile PPC apps for x86.

Of course, there is also Rosetta, but emulating a PPC app is not the slickest of solutions.

TSF works for what I want it to but I can’t change the speed of things. It works fine, but the lack of features is annoying.

Yeah I guess so. It would take a bit of effort to recompile the apps probably.

Theres always installing grease monkey and the viewtube script in interweb. When the dialog box pops up you have the option to save the video or open in quicktime.

Do you install grease monkey through GitHub and run the extension/script through that?

I mean, there is a PPCMC Intel build, but for whatever reason I can't get it to do the Youtube popout playback option, only video downloads.

I can’t use leopard.sh to update the Python version to 3.11.2 anyway lol. Doesn’t work on intel. Only PPC. Tried it myself.

Install this GM extension for InterWeb, then visit this page and click on the viewtube and viewtube+ links at the top of the page to install them. Further down the page is how to use / set up viewtube.
Now when you click on a YT video, click the “down arrow” icon on the viewtube toolbar, right click to save video, or just left click for dialog prompt to play with QuickTime.
Cheers

Thank you. It works great.
