Re: Streaming internet videos - the painful DYI alternative
 

Please vote for this, it's the first link in my sig. I'm surprised by the lack of interest and how no one seems to be bothered by this... made a brainstorm, made a thread, I spam them with every post I make yet there's only 7 votes.
Does nobody watch web tv anymore?
And why watch anything in the browser? You have to full-screen anyway, the buttons are ridiculously small and the cpu-usage & battery drain are huge.
To see captions on youtube? that's the only advantage you would have and youtube is nothing but a drop in the ocean regarding internet video.

Nope there isn't (that's why I mentioned the bookmark, as some kind of "replacement"), the same way there isn't "show page source" in microb.
What's the use to have the most advanced mobile browser ever made when (I really do consider them) basic functions are capped???

Re: Streaming internet videos - the painful DYI alternative
 

I think we need some sort of extension to microb which strips configured webpages (youtube, megavideo, dailymotion, vimeo etc) with some script which replaces embedded video area with link to external (mplayer) video player. I do not know if this is possible, but i do know that making it is beyond my skills. Quite sad that this device has full potential play flash videos (not hd) inside webpages but on most of pages its jerky.

I started checking out scripts.

Here's something that might be useful for RAI: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/61782

just wanted to let you know that i was able to follow both steps from your original post via the painful way and also the user script way. BTW i found that this script is rather superior for youtube:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25105

it throws up a small download option that allows you to download to your device or if you copy the linked address and put it in mplayer it will stream. It's an extra step of course to watch youtube videos BUT it allows you to watch them in much better quality.

i wish someone would create a youtube app that grabs the mp4 file as it would negate this whole step but i digress.

You could try Canola, MyTube or zoutube.

MyTube is by far the most advanced one but it hasn't been updated for quite a while:

Re: Streaming internet videos - the painful DYI alternative
 

zoutube still doesn't download the high quality mp4 video though :(
