3 months agodeadwood on OWB there are always problems with MUI preferences, as you can see in the video if you try to move the Zune GUI, the windows multiply, then if you try to configure screens when Save or USE is asked to enter volume ‘2’ other times ‘7’ but it can also be a different number (video attached).
I'm not sure if the request for numerical volumes is caused by Click-To-Front, but sometimes in some cases, the ‘working’ buttons are hidden on the Workbench screen, while on OWB only an image of the request buttons remains (this happens occasionally when you make many background changes).
Regarding TV Streaming, I have noticed that OWB-3.0-20250626 works well on some TV Streaming (Local TV) without any Guru (see screenshot), while Streaming on TV (National) video mode is not supported, the button searches endlessly for the video.

Its good to hear streaming works on some other sites then YT. Hopefully with more WebKit updates streaming on more sites will work.

3 months agoI would add that on national TV, however, you can watch the ‘Replays of the Week’ and all the films, programmes, etc. in the catalogue.

Try enabling MSE tooltype on the icon. This should allow watching live streams.

3 months agoOn the ‘National TV’ stream, I added ‘MSE’ in Tooltypes and I get a Guru, see screenshot, I'm using WMware!

Interesting. I though I solved that crash already. :/
I've been trying the last release of OWB 64 bit with the realtek8180.device driver. The system is a HP Elitebook i5 with latest nightly installed to SSD. I'm getting strange results.
Loading up AROSworld is fine, but many other websites are very slow, in fact giving timeouts. I can't load google.co.uk, or google.com at all; bbc.co.uk/news will only open after multiple page refreshes. I've tried using both DHCP and manual setting of ip addresses; same result either way. Amazon.co.uk and ebay.co.uk do load, although the latter reuqires a page refresh.
There are random hard crashes when opening sites. No error message at all, the machine just crashes to a full reboot. Annoyingly these are not reproduceable; after the reboot if the site is tried again it will open. However, I can say these crashes happened on opening hackaday.com and duckduckgo.com. On this machine using the realtek8180.device under 32 bit these problems are not seen.
To verify if this is an issue with OWB or the driver, I trid booting from USB into 64 bit on my HP 14-bw022na as this has supported wired ethernet. However, on this maching OWB will not launch at all. From the shell I get the message "file is not executable". I have double-checked this is the correct verison of owb by copying it from the HP Elitebook and confirming it will start on that machine. The processor for the HP 14... is an AMD A4-9120 Radeon R3. Aside from owb, other programs such as Zunepaint look to be working fine on it.
Cheers,
Nigel.
Edit: P.S. youtube.com and m.youtube.com will not load either.
Edit 2: I've also had several lockups (no crash, just a frozen screen requiring a reboot). Unfortunately no specific sites which causes this, it seems to be quite random.

I have the same problems on my Acer with AROS One Native (DualCore 4GB RAM). Perhaps this problem is only on Natvive? I also tried OWB 2.1, but had the same problems. I cannot access Google, nor can I perform Google searches. See screenshot error.
Regarding ‘file is not executable’, have you checked with Dopus4 if OWB has the E flag? If it is missing, you can add it from DOpus4.
If you used ZIP to compress OWB, be aware that ZIP removes the E flag after compression.

Apologies if I may have mentioned this before but Odyssey has a long-standing bug on AROS that means opening a local file via shell causes a crash. This has been happening for ~10 years so it is not a new issue.
Why does this matter? If you set up local HTML documentation files to open Odyssey in order to show them, which is a common use case for a web browser, Odyssey will crash (or simply fail to load the desired content).

Hmm, the error suggest that stack is too low. If you are opening via DefIcon, you need to set 10MB stack on that DefIcon and if you are opening via some script from shell, make sure that script sets the required stack.
Please see attached for the sysconfig output.
Cheers,
Nigel.
