I love Roccat. The interface is different, it has some really neat features, and it's fast. I've relinked it against the latest LWK and it performs noticeably better than LWK itself. Plus the feature where it answers questions right from the address bar is really cool, at least in my opinion.
Agree with everything, the address bar feature is epic, it's take having a textual Siri!
I've donated today to the Roccat project as they're still innovating for the PPC market which I feel deserves my support!
Well I finally installed the newest Webkit and Relinked Roccat 7.2 against it however when I run
http://browserspy.dk/webkit.php Roccat still shows 600.8.9 ?
What does your Roccat LWK show ? Should I drag Roccat from the Applications folder to the Relink Applescript (inside the Webkit DMG) ?
Yeah, you have to drag it to the relink applescript.
[doublepost=1490556898][/doublepost]It all depends on user agent. That number won't effect your web browsing.
Roccat
The user agent takes the WebKit value from the system, so you obviously have 600.8.9 on your system, but if you have relinked Roccat against 602.4.8 then it will still be running against 602.4.8 even if it says 600.8.9
The best way to check is to run a HTML5 test, and check support for something which is new in 602 (https://sourceforge.net/p/leopard-webkit/wiki/Home/) if the HTML5 test supports something which is new to the 692 builds then it's relinked correctly, if not then it isn't.

If you've got Leopard, another good option is @Lastic's SMTube, if you don't mind getting Xcode and MacPorts. When you make it use CorePlayer as its regular player, it's very efficient and doesn't slow everything else down on the computer; it's my favorite for this reason. (uses about 30% cpu on 360 mp4) His thread that goes into detail on how to install it is here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-for-youview-mactubes-mobile-youtube.2030035/
Agreed.
On most G4 Macs that support Leopard you can bump the quality to 720p with no issues, and even on some of the slowest Keopard Macs I'd still 480p is the minimum. You might want to go higher than 360p. Just sharing my experience. I could be wrong.
The reason I've set SMTube to 360p is because on my Powerbook G4, Coreplayer has some strange VLC-like artifacting going on for certain types/qualities of video (like the 720p MP4 setting on SMTube); but when I set SMTube to 360p, Coreplayer works fine.
