OnlineVideos 1.6.1.0 [2013/05/01] (2 Viewers)

I get those Side-by-Side errors but when I looked into it the general advice seemed to be just ignore them. I just checked my logs and the ones in there at the moment all appear to apply to some specific application unrelated to MP, like ultravnc. It looks like I've already got all the Visual C+ Redists installed on my Windows 7 x64 system and on my x86 system all but 2008 6161 (10/04/2012) and I still get them but I can't see how they're connected to not being able to play certain links in OV.

Did something change with the Youtube part?
Last week (or so) I was able to see all my subscription of my YouTube account.
Now I only see a entry "New videos" and 5 subscriptions or so.

I find the Automatic Update is still rather slow and can take 5+ seconds per Site to update. I wonder if the following idea could be a way to speed this up:

OV has a local file containing the "last updated" dates for each Enabled site (i.e. the last date that they were updated on the PC),

the OV site server has a similar file containing the "current update" dates for each site,

then OV could download the latter file, compare the dates of Enabled sites to those in the local file and only if they differ would it need to update a site(s). I imagine this would be quicker as a lot of the time the sites won't have changed and it's the individual checking that's slow, whereas downloading a single file should be faster. The dates don't need to be human-readable, so the file could be made smaller by substituting single characters for the day, month and year.

Onlinevideos is OpenSource, start VS Express and implement what you suggested.

Not within my skillset I'm afraid and I don't have time to learn programming. Hopefully someone who thinks this is a good idea AND can program will implement it sometime.

I can't watch any of The Avengers' clips on iTunes Trailers. I never could, but I keep trying with every new release.

Not much we can do, the files coming from apple's server point to wrong urls.

Watch series have changed their site. gutted

Strange, here it's playing fine... Any particular part of the site that isn't working?

I may have spoke too soon, sorry

How do I stop PowerScheduler++ making my HTPC sleeping whilst I'm watching something via OnlineVideos? For example, I start MP and go to OnlineVideos, then play a Sopcast link from Wiziwig. After 5 minutes, PowerScheduler++ makes the HTPC goes to sleep, presumably because it thinks it's idle.

 

[offbyone]

You have to request this in the PowerScheduler++ forum/thread - I guess the plugin needs to watch for some more events/action to tell of MP is idle or not.
