Tubexx no worky, neither does OWB & MPlayer external viewer
« on: March 28, 2011, 05:19:05 AM »
Downloaded and installed Install Pack for MorphOS 2.7. Really, really slick install. Most everything works and looks great. BUT... of course, I'm *still* finding myself hunting and pecking for files that should already be included that are required for some of these programs to work!

Ran upstairs to my A3000 and found Arexxsys.lib and a couple of other Arexx files needed that are NOT mentioned anywhere in the docs and installed them to MOSYS/blah, blah, blah.

Download the other external classes needed and put them where they're supposed to go as well.

Tubexx GUI now finally boots, but when I try to play a video, I get a "warning: preferred video format not available" error. "URL not validated", "procedure cancelled" even though it loaded a string of vids in the preview pane and "validated" them just fine. No matter what video format I select, still nothing. And yes, all the crap in the Tubexx 'tools' is pointing to their proper places.

I also can't get OWB to play a friggin' youtube-lite video and I've configured the MIME prefs to point at Mplayer, etc. to no avail. I set everything up as per a conversation others had on Morphzone. Simply does not work on my system. OWB version is 1.11.

Oh and 99% of the RS channels do not work in MPlayer. Tries to load and then says idle. WTF? Figure all these symptoms might be related?

Thanks so much for coming to the rescue Piru!

Sure enough, I didn't think to read the readme in OWB as I thought OWB simply didn't support the YouTube mainpage based on what I've read from users. Others were talking about configuring this and that and then going to youtube-lite.com, but that didn't work for me either. I've bookmarked that HTML5 URL from the readme you copied and starting from there, every link I tried now work like a charm!

:rtfm:    Another case of reading up, which I thought I was doing, but obviously was reading the wrong info. I will sign up at Morphzone one of these days and pay more attention to what's going on there as I get more use out of this MacMini. So far, am really enjoying using this little system. I just need a better understanding of how/why some of this other stuff isn't workin, such as the Tubexx program, but that's not a terribly big deal now that OWB's HTML5 is working.

Thanks again Piru, I appreciate you hanging out here and helping some of us that need to be reminded to read the F'in manual.  :lol:
