RE: Youtube hight quality? - ProxRocks - Nov. 16, 2008 02:03 AM true dat... mono is fine for me, for YouTube anyway... to me, YouTube is "view and FORGET", it's something "quasi-humorous" to do to 'pass the time' or forward via e-mail for "conversation's sake"... to me, NOTHING on YouTube is anywhere NEAR "important" enough to save onto the local hard drive... to me, viewing a FOUR-minute 29-second clip without the ability to "fast-forward" is a WASTE of THREE minutes and 29 seconds!!! therein lies the power of Proxo, we each view the web our OWN way, to our OWN preference... Long Live Proxo! RE: Youtube hight quality? - lnminente - Nov. 16, 2008 02:08 AM Hopefully long live for Proxo!! And long sleep for me, here is 3 am RE: Youtube hight quality? - ProxRocks - Nov. 16, 2008 02:12 AM somebody "addicted" to YouTube perhaps? lol... addicted to Proxo, i share in that "dependence" RE: Youtube hight quality? - lnminente - Nov. 16, 2008 02:24 AM are you calling me addicted twice? Yes!! I'm addicted to both :P!!! hehehe RE: Youtube hight quality? - Oddysey - Nov. 16, 2008 04:42 AM (Nov. 15, 2008 03:28 PM)ProxRocks Wrote: by "default", are you talking SCOTT's config? "nobody" uses that anymore, do they? Unless you count the number of filters I've added for my personal surfing habits (more than tripling the file size), then I'd have to say yes, some of us do in fact still use Scott's basic "noobie" config set. EDITed to add: I share your thoughts on YouTube's value, it's at best a source of humor. The outrageous stuff (meant to provoke, etc.) I leave for those with too much time on their hands. I once saw a vid (can't find it now) that had a Swedish girl of about 20 shredding a guitar to make Joe Satriani look like a spastic!!!!! (It didn't hurt any that she made Jessica Alba look like a wall, either. ) But her best line was "I HATE fricken' jazz", as she rips out a line from trumpeter Al Hirt's rendition of 'I Can't Get Started'. I don't think she really knew her history that well, but Oh Lawdie Me, could that girl play! Just passin' some time here.......

I have no trouble dragging the video scroll bar to "fast-forward" or "rewind" when using both fmt 18 and 22 on Firefox 3.0.4. RE: Youtube hight quality? - ProxRocks - Nov. 16, 2008 01:03 PM i believe the fast-forward/rewind "lack of" on 18|22 is a per-video limitation, not all videos will NOT have that limitation... however, on 6, ALL videos DO have the ability to fast-forward/rewind... that's what i seem to be seeing...

Interesting. RE: Youtube hight quality? - ProxRocks - Nov. 16, 2008 02:07 PM is anyone else seeing that 18's and 22's will not let you fast-forward/rewind? i've had some 18's and 22's that CRASH my browser when i "attempt" to fast-forward/rewind... i can't test in Firefox and Opera, to ensure the "secureness" [a myth, but i digress] of these two "safe havens", i do NOT even install the Flash Player for these... RE: Youtube high quality? - lnminente - Nov. 18, 2008 11:35 PM ProxRocks, I have no crashes in firefox 3.0.3. When seeking inside the red bar (downloaded data) no problems, but when i seek outside in the white part the video starts from beginning... To have a mix between seeking and quality i created the next filter: It will remove existing fmt tags and add fmt=6, but if you press left win key while requesting the page then will switch to fmt=18. I added a exception for fmt=22 for not changing it when we write it in the address bar. Code: [HTTP headers] Test it with my favourite music for creating filters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67-JPIXo8-s Thoughts and suggestions are welcome Updated to 081119: In before versions i needed (^$KEYCHK(^91)) now don't RE: Youtube high quality? - ProxRocks - Nov. 18, 2008 11:51 PM ooh, i like this approach even better...

Rocks!! RE: Youtube high quality? - lnminente - Jan. 10, 2009 06:58 PM Z12 posted a similar filter at Castlecops, but actually it wasn't receiving the quality requested. I update it here: Note: If the quality requested doesn't exist at the servers no video will be seen. Code: [Patterns] RE: Youtube high quality? - lnminente - Feb. 14, 2009 01:39 PM Hi all, i'm proud to announce a very comfortable filter to use by default high quality in ALL the videos requested from youtube (facebook, blogs, youtube,etc...) It doesn't need to reload the page, it is really really fast, it allows to SEEK in a HQ video* *= The video start in fmt=18 and it isn't seekable, but pressing the ALT while seeking key the video will revert to the original format from the point you want It uses my format for HTTP headers, but it hasn't to cause any troubles importing it to another config. Code: [HTTP headers] Edit: updated to my last version RE: Youtube high quality? - Oddysey - Feb. 22, 2009 07:36 PM While I still pretty much ignore YouTube, I tripped across the following discussion via a very roundabout route. I took a quick look back at this thread, and didn't see this particular item mentioned, so I thought it might be of interest to at least a few of you...... YouTube in widescreen. A forum-based discussion covering a couple of methods on how to implement it in your browser, and how to remove it. I foresee Proxo doing all of this very nicely for those that wish it. HTH Oddysey |
