Hi Martin,

Do you know bigbluebutton ?
I used it in the past (about 10 years ago in a virtualBox) and was very happy with all the features it provides, limited to nearly 3 participant due the low speed network I had.
Now, it is a big step above.

https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/administration/install/

It would be nice for developers to exchange doc, chat, presentation etc... with others, warpstock to share presentation and direct chat etc...

Regards

Hi Paul !

I could get 2 trp files using my priority settings (close when runing several times the nperf process from nperf selecting a server instead of using default one)
Do you find them usefull ?

Regards

Does QT6, Dooble use some process involving timers like the
SET NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1 used for mozilla ?

  Tried changing settings, but nothing helped. One thing I noticed in 'Tools'->'Preferences'->'All settings' there is a 'Backends' selection where it shows 'qtwebkit' is the backend in use. When clicking on that to change it, it changes to 'Blink (experimental)' and qtwebkit is not a choice. Clicking again it changes to 'qtwebkit'. Wonder if this indicates confusion in the code about what backend to be using?

This behaves the same on linux -  and linux can render a page.

Also,  on OS/2  -  I do often see a bunch of these in the console:

Code: [Select]

[warn] select: Socket operation on non-socket

Could it be some kind of initialization problem (sockets or vars)

Thanks Paul,

  Gave the new ffmpeg a quick try and it seems to work fine. Since using Remy's script and adding a second CPU to my virtual machine, QT6 Dooble has been better than ever with videos and heavy Javascript websites. I have yet to get a hard hang, or even a silent exit. The Athena website mentioned works fine here. I'll keep testing...

Regards,

Hi David,
Replacing the single line by following both lines seems to be better for me.
rc=SysSetPriority(3,10)
rc=SysSetPriority(1,3)

Hi Paul

No TRP file - don't get these when the system locks solid, no popuplog.os2 entry either. Yes, I have the Silent Exit version of libcn0.dll installed but it has not produced any TRP files for silent exits so far.

This is a url that causes the above problem  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SomJLPR3Fk&pp=ygUKYWwgc3Rld2FydA%3D%3D

I've had a rummage through the mainboard BIOS and turned SMT (AMD HyperThreading) back on - turned off to see if that was causing problems. Now dooble loads youtube.com without exiting/hanging/locking system solid.


Had a lot of fun importing the dooble_accepted_or_blocked_domains.txt file as dooble locked solid requiring reboot, worked on the 3rd attempt - no idea why...


Had another try with the above url, page almost loaded and playback almost started then dooble did a silent exit. However, we got a TRP this time attached as 66e19bff-003b_15-DOOBLE-exceptq.txt



Regards

Pete

I tried the youtube url,
It start playing, then video stops and 2 to 4 seconds later, audio sound stops, I was able to click on an other video immediatly, the new one started to play and then system hung (power off/on to recover)

When playing youtube, the system hung generally occurs a few seconds (or starting an other video) after sound goes off while playing the selected video
It looks like something goes wrong between OS/2 audio and Dooble !  (how will ffmpeg chromium work with pthread disabled ?)     

When a kill just before the hung, saw something strange into the trps !

The Athena site working is bizarre - perhaps I should try Remy's script! Maybe the priority makes a difference somehow?!

Hi Paul,

I went to cloudflare site:
https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/

Then, I click on Get started for free button.
New page opens and then Dooble closes ! (perhaps this link could be more helpfull then the Athena forum)

Paul,

  It displays fine with no issue. Remy said something about a Captcha, but I don't see one - maybe the blocker I use blocks it? Also, I wonder if the user agent has an effect - I'm using 'Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; OS/2 i386) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/94.0.4606.126 Safari/537.36', a slight modification of the default.

  The priority change is definitely what helps here - without it I get the usual hangs and silent exits regularly.  Much rarer with the priority change - any idea why that might be? Related to the processor optimization maybe? Or an interaction between that and the processor I'm using? Wish I knew more about the settings too - maybe it can be tweaked even more....

Regards,

The forum about athena has a security check before going into the site.
I put a screenshot (taken under firefox which is slow with this process) of the expected display during this security check (there is a turning circle which should change to a checkbox to confirm been human and not a robot. once it is accepted (sometimes, it requires to reply more than one time), the request is routed to the site.
This process is part of cloudflare security check (see bottom of the screenshot) to prevent cyber attacks and is more and more used by web sites

Sometimes, it didn't display (may be number of ip country issuer or host ip request dependent !)

updt:
- Cloudflare Captcha differs from those of google

(tested v2 which is very slow and not sure to go through...

V3 score is correct.

I'll double check the flags which are set in the gn build file for ffmpeg this evening.

OK,  so I forgot I built ffmpeg separately as DLLs.

I configured with:
dash ./configure --arch=pentium4 --disable-avx2 --disable-avx512 --enable-bzlib --disable-crystalhd --enable-fontconfig --enable-gnutls --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopus --disable-decoder=opus --disable-encoder=opus --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-avfilter --enable-postproc --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gpl --disable-debug --disable-stripping --cpu=pentium4 --enable-runtime-cpudetect

adding --disable-avx to this now, and will rebuild with GCC 14.

Hi Paul!

will ffmpeg be usable if adding --enable-pthreads option ?

Remy.

  I haven't noticed any strange mouse movement during video play, but will pay attention. I have had Dooble eventually hang during playback, but usually (about 4 out of 5 times) can still use the WPS, but it is not killable so have to reboot.

Regards,

Kill Dooble and close the prompt window from which dooble was started.

Same here,

https://www.os2world.com/cms/index.php/past-news/79-news/general/23815-arcaos-nlv-national-language-version-poll
Opening the strawpoll link and then show result (dooble closes)

 ------------------------------------------------

I tried an other setting of the priority which seems good too or a little better

SysSetPriority(3,8) instead of  SysSetPriority(1,3)

Changing Time-critical priority instead of Idle-time priority
By curiosity, is it possible to have priority set on the ffmpeg part only instead of all the process ?

I'm able to open a new tab while playing youtube but the requested newlink will not display and may stuck dooble after several seconds

I wonder if it's the change in priority or the QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS that makes the difference? If it's priority, we could consider setting this in dooble.

Hi Paul,
Do you think about something like -webengine-proprietary-codecs ?

Hi Paul,
is there a reason to enable, disable:

--enable-libopus --disable-decoder=opus --disable-encoder=opus

Is --enable-avresample parm supported ?
