You can bookmark this page: http://code.google.com/p/youtubehd/source/list And stay on the bleeding edge of this script. Work since v.1.1.9 starts at r5. If you want to contribute to the script, e-mail me and I'll add you to the project. If you've already contributed code and I haven't already added you, please let me know here, with a link to a page showing your contribution. |

Sweet. I'll try to contribute more. I realize its rather large, but how would you feel about using GM_config for the script settings? We could definitely tear out most of the element creation code that we don't need and that would greatly reduce the size. I could probably get it down to three hundred lines, and if we trade that for the settings manager code that you already have there shouldn't be much of an increase. It's completely cross-browser now, and you can even get it to use the DOM for the settings window instead of an iframe. I, of course, would be willing to do the majority of this work myself since I'm familiar with the code base. |

On second thought, redraw is probably a better name. Changed in this revision. You think there's a better way of doing this? I used to just throw the player out of the way, but it doesn't look as sexy, although it is faster and doesn't require these refresh/redraw calls. |

Avindra V.G. wrote:Can't you use wmode=opaque? That's what Facebook uses on their video pages and overlaying HTML works fine there. It might be faster since whatever is behind the player doesn't get rendered. Adobe says transparent slows down preformance. Avindra V.G. wrote:What exactly do you mean by this? Do you mean everytime the settings window is opened it has to be redrawn? GM_config does exactly the same thing. People rarely open up the settings so I've always thought this was the most efficient method. Perhaps using an iframe might make this faster since it gets its own separate page. We could also just shove the settings under the player rather then overlaying it. |

I haven't tried it in Flash 10.1 yet, and 10.1 is heaps better than 9. sizzlemctwizzle wrote: Like, put a return; as the first line in the refresh/redraw function. Then play around with the configuration dialog. It's very messed up, doesn't redraw properly.
Ok, I just tried opaque. It doesn't seem to be as buggy as it was in 9. But it still requires redrawing. I'll play around with it more to see which is better than the other. Like srsly dude, if you scroll down on the page w/ opaque back in the day, the mouse position was like 30 pixels off in the flash player. It was so frustrating. But it seems ok now. I'm gonna try both on a crap computer (which I don't have access to now, lol). I used to have a shit computer, but I finally built my dream computer. Ok, this page: http://www.adamia.com/blog/visualizing-flash-wm... Is very helpful. Clearly, I should definitely be using opaque at least. Transparent is not necessary for this script, and opaque no longer has those disgusting bugs from Flash 9. I'll play around with opaque, direct, and gpu. Opaque is the new default now for sure though. Edit: I've tried it out a bit more, and oddly, gpu doesn't produce a higher fps than opaque. I'll just stick with opaque I guess. I've made another revision: http://code.google.com/p/youtubehd/source/detai... Switched to opaque, and skipped the redraw for the As3 (ActionScript 3) player. It seems the redrawing hacks are only needed for the old player. |

For any of the videos that use the new player, the redraw isn't needed, which is why I just recently made it break out of that function in r63, if the player is actionscript 3. sizzlemctwizzle wrote: Just reading it now, but I agree with it. I hate Flash so much (especially sites that use it entirely). I'll definitely force this script to use YouTube's HTML5 player when Firefox 4 goes stable. With the new releases of browsers supporting HTML5 and GPU-accelerated HTML5, hopefully we'll see Flash use die out. EDIT: Ok, even with the old player, it seems the redraw isn't needed. Sometimes it's needed, sometimes it isn't. I'll play around with it a bit more to try and figure out what the hell is going on. I removed all the redrawing code. I think that the switch from transparent to opaque fixed it. Either that, or I'm going crazy and it wasn't needed at all. Additionally, I'm forcing the AS3 player from now on, so redrawing isn't an issue at all. |
