Good work!

WoHoo this is great! yeah but only for MOS user

I would like to know.... OWB is open source isn't it.....soooo..... are the MorphOS, AmigaOS4 and AROS ports entirely different code bases? Do they not need to share the code?

Or am I being naive?

Total respect to Fab!

Good work

@BigBentheAussie

The core (WebCore, JavaScriptCore and OWB API layer) is mostly the same for all OWB ports, but the modules below (event, memory, task, ...) and above (GUI, download manager, [whatever] manager) are totally different for each port.

For instance, here's how it can look like on MorphOS. Quite different from OWB OS4 or even OWB for AROS (even though it uses Zune). And that's just the GUI.

Seems a great release ...

Great release. I'm amazed how well e.g. YouTube works:

Just go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and join the HTML5 beta test and BANG! :)

Great work, Fab!

@Fab

Nice work, thanks. Does it run on MorphOS PowerUP? I finally got that working last night

@HammerD

Well, assuming you have MUI4 installed, it should. I fear how slow it might run, though. :)

this is great news! looks like we don't need flash for youtube vids afterall

There is a flash plugin too, anyway (but it's not fast enough for youtube, except on mac mini).

Oh My God... What The F*ck, Etcetera and so on !!!111111
*changes pants*
No but seriously.. this is nice.

html5 support rocks!
youtube runs pretty nice at 60-70% load n my 1.5 GHz mini. Somehow I lost sound after thefirst video. Wlll try again.
Anyway, Fab is the man!

@Zylesea

Keep in mind it's using AHI exclusive unit. If you want several sounds at once, you'll have to use the device.audio mode (that redirects music unit to device unit).

No, I don't mean parallel sound instances. I can play only one video. Once that is finished, another video from tha same tab does replay mute. Seems like the player hasn't cleanly exited.

Edit: The taskmanager tells me that "[OWB] MediaPlayer Video" froze.

It exits cleanly, unless something died, of course.

[EDIT]
Ok, so it died. Bad luck i guess. :)

Rebooted to flush everything. Now, in a controlled testbed (only aw.net & youtube open ins one tab only) it does work as expected on first sight.
opened youtube, searched for Alan Ashita (to get ti know what Tokai is listening to). worked. Selected another vid from teh suggestion worked. After the 2nd vid was finished entered onother search string, and then no audio output worked.
Taskmanager doesn't report me a frozen task this time.
Finished OWB, the media player tasks get removed. OWB restarted, youtube vid works again...

Thanx for your great work ! Ans quite surpring to read this news on an AmigaOS centric portal even before it is released on MorphZone...

For sure having firefox or any other fox on the morphos will no make sense anymore, because OWB are the modern and full of features browser. Sadly that OWB for aos4 are far-far away from morphos one. But anyway, very interesting news.
