New OS Player

[Bindu1000]

http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj335/Bindu1000/NewPlayer.jpg


Our brilliant and hard working Admin (and Master) - Jbluey has done it again!!!


He has designed and implemented his own player for OS which in addition to looking cool, will help our members stream faster and smoother. Most of the pesky waiting will be reduced unless of course you have a terrible connection (for which of course we cant do anything to help:4:)


Pls let us know if you experience any difficulty at all


~All hail OS and Jim~


EDIT: For those who are having problems with the new player, or simply don't like changes, you can use the old player by clicking on the "Old Player button

I got sacred for a bit when the new player popd up. It looks GREAT!

[Greven]

It looks great but I can't properly skip scenes, fast forward to certain time.... It just brings me back the start of the video.....


I kind of miss the old grey bar player already... T_T


EDIT: 1 more thing I noticed, while watching D.Grayman.... It doesn't show the track time for the episodes it stays at 00:00/00:00, plus there is no seek cursor that scrolls to tell which part of the stream are you in....

Sorry If I have lots of complaint but just stating what I see so you could address those matters..

Thanks and more power guys/gals @ OS :D

Another EDIT: Btw the resolution for this is sorta weird when full screened... Unlike the oldplayer......

[shah6287]

cant hide progress bar during full screen (disturbing my anime time)
overall for the new player---> really fast streaming experience!!!!!!!!!!
i love it..........

[MyNameIsMat]

the new player for OS is working fine for me, I can see the progress bar (although you can't hide it but I really dun care about that) with the timer (ex : 0:01/24:31), it will auto replay for me to (haven't tested yet but I hope the player goes to the next episode instead of the user like myself clicking to see next episode lolz) and lastly, I can see the streaming of the video, its fine and I love it, nicely done

[avich]

can't hide progress bar when full screen
wrong aspect ratio when full screen
can't seek
video time sometimes doesn't work

Notes taken. Thanks for letting us know

EDIT: also please state the anime episode you are having trouble with. thanks

[goax]

having trouble with the loading. it would load but then just dies and i cant watch the rest of the episode
gundam seed destiny ep 23

[avich]

Video won't load

Thanks for letting us know.

EDIT: please also post the anime episode you are having trouble playing

[Bindu1000]

Hi - just an additional note - if there is a problem with the quality or timing - it could be the specific episode and not related to the player, so pls if you have the time, just check a couple of random animes and see if the same problem exists, thanks

[hydronium]

I like the new player, more classy. Got a little surprised when the player suddenly changed.

[Bindu1000]

I guess one of the biggest benefits of the new player is that it streams faster for those of us in countries with poor connections. Those in countries where they had great connections to start with, may not not see the benefits XD

[MioAkiyama]

i think the design is cool ^^,

[kuyah]

I like the design as well, but I can't fast forward/skip openings to watch the anime anymore ;~; it always resets to the beginning ~_~

[Arsi]

The aspect ratio is now ok..

But the animation is still kinda slow to me..

Edit: Cant return to the normal screen when I right click at full screen mode. (solution alt tab)

[Greven]

can't hide progress bar when full screen
wrong aspect ratio when full screen
can't seek
video time sometimes doesn't work

Notes taken. Thanks for letting us know

EDIT: also please state the anime episode you are having trouble with. thanks


Thanks for taking notice, it was D.Grayman EP 95-99 :D

[skittles16]

Works nicely.

P.S. 'Tis Bindu1000 behind jbluey?

[avich]

@arsi & @kuyah- what anime episode?

@skittles - maybe...

[Greven]

Aspect ratio, timer, seek bars are now working great for me @ D.Grayman

[Arsi]

@avich

Almost all of the video seems kinda slow in animation its not smooth as the other player especially with fast opening theme time frame..

Is it just me?

Ex: One Piece 390 @ 00:50 - its like you pause it at 00:53 and when you play its on 00:55. Its not entirely smooth in animation.. If you get what I mean..

[avich]

@Greven - thats great. I'll just post this anyway.

Dgrayman 95 : Time, seek, aspect ratio and fullscreen works fine.

@Arsi - Can you specify a video?

[Arsi]

Just posted it. :)

if you want to use the old player just add "&player=old" on the end of the URL.

example :
hxxp://os.com/streaming/index.php?cat=1&anime=Saki&ep=0&watch=1&player=old

Thanks Jim. :biggrin:

[kuyah]

@avich - I don't think its the anime but the player itself.

@jim - Thanks ^^;

Just hope it gets fixed so we could enjoy the player also >.< thanks for the hard work!

[avich]

It might be, we just want to collect data so we can determine where the problem is because some members have not encountered any problems.

[xiety]

oh i just log in
i will look into it


off topic
I wanna know whats in the monitor its kinda interesting

[GreyIOutcast]

Looks nice, good job on the skin for the new player.

And if people were having trouble with loading times, I sure hadn't seen any of it. I usually had all of it loaded when I was only halfway through the episode. Sometimes earlier.

Honestly, I don't want this place to get too popular or else I'm afraid there won't be as much bandwidth to use.

Although, with as much bandwidth as I have, and how you've been managing this place, I'm sure you'd keep it running at amazing speed like you have it now.

EDIT:

I can confirm that the video time display does not work at all times.

[russj]

ah finally.. OS player is born..

progress bar doesnt work.. i cant forward t to my desired time..hmmm

also the time doesnt work..

[avich]

@russ - forward inside the buffer range or jump to a point that has not yet buffered?

[ratratrat098]

With the new interface you can actually watch some part that has not yet buffered( the blue guage)or beyond the buffer range.

[Bindu1000]

Have added an extra note on the original post on how to access the old player if you wish.

However for those of us (especially me) who could never stream properly due to poor connections, this player is a godsend and if the timing is not visible (although this has not happened to me) or the bar is visible when you go to full page mode, then its a small price to pay for fast streaming.


Works nicely.

P.S. 'Tis Bindu1000 behind jbluey?

Hahaha ... at least one person got it!!! Yep I am the one constantly harassing Jim to do this or that on OS. If you dont see me around suddenly - its coz he finally lost it and banned me completely :18:

[mattduy]

No offense but I don't like the new player that much. It looks good and all but my streaming has gotten a bit slower but I can still stream which is all that matters.
If it means others can stream faster at the expense of me streaming slower than I'm fine by that.

[Greven]

Eerrmm still getting wrong aspect ratio, and no seek bar timer..... On mozilla FF 3.5.2, ... Not only in D.Grayman but all anime >_< (Earlier post I said it was ok, I was on our comp shop) but here at home aspect ratio is messed up and no working seekbar and timer...

Vista x64
Mozilla FF 3.5.2
Adobe Flash 10 latest build....

[DarkPrinceKnight]

@ Matt lol, yea,... for me its faster >:D, hahaha XD

well I really like the new look >:}, even this cruddy laptop, (that couldn't even watch youtube vid's), is able to stream on OS >.< XD,

hmm when I first used the new player it took a little time for my comp just to get use to the new player, about 10-12 min :P

well in any case

~~~ALL HAIL OS, ALL HAIL Jim~~~ ^^

EDIT:some times you'd have to refresh the page a couple of time (for me mostly 2-4 times)

[deejay16]

I love the new player :D

[koedt]

Awesome!

OS just keeps getting better and better! :D

[scasia]

awesome!!
I stream faster than usual!!

ALL HAIL OS! ALL HAIL JIM!

[Bindu1000]

Mattduy & Grevan : As per my footnote on the original post - pls feel free to switch back to the old player, its very simple.

For the rest of you with better streaming - happy streaming :1:

[marinne14]

it's a bit laggy.... no option for the old player?

EDIT: &player=old i see thanks.. the new one is laggy(for me) when change to fullscreen mode but the streaming is still the same.. so fast

im still using flash9 coz of something^^ maybe i'll try using flash10 or up.. great player!! but i can stream a mass TAB of videos using the old one! more power OS

[hokeymon]

Imma' liking it and imma start watching again XO

[marinne14]

yey there's the option now!!!what a quick fix! ^_^

[STATIS]

If the small glitches like the timer and seeking are fixed this is very nice. Good Job :)

[Greven]

It's ok some videos have whacked aspect ratio and no seek time/bar, but others have so when that happens I use the old one, all in all I love the new player for fast streaming. :D

[CrossDervish]

Yay, I can stream at school now since the old flash player was blocked.

[alown]

AMAZING! The old player used to have the position bar perfectly cover the subs while in full screen. I am so happy to not see that again.

[ranmachua]

Well, the new player at least has sliding feature (albeit 10 seconds per slide!).

Perhaps they could make the bottom player disappear after a few seconds once the video is in full screen rather than being there all the time?

[adiktdtololi]

Really Really Great!!!

^^ thats all i can say abuot the New player^^

But the loading time for the intire page is really long ^^

I wonder y^^

[shah6287]

yes, yes that's what i want too....:biggrin:

[avich]

if you encounter problems with the new player, first please update your flash to the latest version 10

[lordofsquad]

I understand why there would be a watermark utilized in the player, but it does get in the way of the subs occasionally.

[apophsis24]

i can not skip around ... i wish you could go right to the part where you left off at ... well at least i can not

[avich]

Yes you are correct. We can only skip to parts that are already downloaded (buffered) but can't skip to parts that has hasn't yet (ex. skip to the end of the video directly) Our server is not powerful enough to handle this.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We want so much features for OS but there is only much an 11 year old admins can do. :D

Didn't you just turn 22? :P

anyways, can't skip ahead in bleach episode 36, (fully buffered) whenever I try it just jumps to start

[avich]

May I ask what is the version of the current flash you are using?

[Romdeau]

I too, miss the old grey bar player..
I do not know if someone aldready said this but, with the new player, sometimes the "otaku-streamers logo" at the bottom right is in the way of the subs.. kinda annoys me x_x

One more thing, I was wondering if it's possible that when you press at the "old player" button, you could replace the black bar player to the old grey bar player.. I think there's more people than just me that miss it.
Sorry for complaining.

Hi - for the moment there wont be any changes made to the new player, if you miss the old - you can just go back. Thats the only two options available right now XD

[jadeliciousdk]

The newest version, well it is the only video so far that hasn't played properly for me..

Hi Jade - did you watch the whole vid to its completion? There could be something wrong with the video itself. Just let us know so we could fix it

[spucy]

It works for me. I like it!

[kaifox]

its nice.. but there are some animes that i prefer to use the old.. ^_^

[ratratrat098]

You can try this if you are having problems with the new player...



if you want to use the old player just add "&player=old" on the end of the URL.

example :
hxxp://os.com/streaming/index.php?cat=1&anime=Saki&ep=0&watch=1&player=old

[fatcharley]

I saw the comment about skipping ahead, but the feature where you could stop and move backwards a bit and rewatch something you missed is also missing. I often do this as I sometimes can't read fast enough or realize that the translation (subtitle) doesn't agree with what was being said. I like the new player but it would be nice if this old feature could be restored.

[solidoxygen]

I like the new player when it works properly (about half of the time for me). Surely it'll have a few glitches since it's new, but they'll be fixed. Luckily the pause function is working without any glitches.

Doesn't the kid in the picture look like he's viewing pr0n?

[crazyneil]

Thanks For the new update admins ^____^ i really appreciated it

[amurru]

The only thing I hope to see fixed on this player is that the seek bar keeps disappearing all the time. When you try to skip the opening of the anime its such a pain xD!

Other then that its a nice player, but I'll still use the old one until that feature is fixed.

[avich]

can you give a screenshot with the disappearing seek bar? Thank you

[wanderernyth]

yup! I second the motion to what Greven had said in his first post in this topic! those are same as my exp.in the new OS player! Hope that they understand us! GBUA!

[avich]

We are trying our best to resolve this and we are having a hard time pinpointing the source of the problem because we are not able to replicate these bugs. We need some more information by reporting the following:

1) Please make post a screenshot if you encounter any of the ff problems..
-Video Time won't display properly.. (ex. 00:00/00:00)
-Seek bar missing
-Can't skip scenes using the seek bar (2 screenshots)
-Video ratio wrong

2) What browser you are using and its version

3) version of your adobe flash currently installed in your browser. Don't just mention "latest" or "recent", I need to know exactly the version of your adobe flash. To determine its version, please visit this site.. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html

4) If your screenshot it (1) didn't include the anime title and episode you are currently having troubles, don't forget to mention it too.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for helping us solving the issue. :)

[yoyoyoyou]

The OS player works fine with me but sometimes, the video time isn't shown correctly and I can't seek. When I do try, it goes back to the beginning. :(

I'm using Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 and Adobe flash player version 10.0.32.18.

wrong time
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv191/doodaadaa/screenshot1.jpg

can't skip
http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv191/doodaadaa/screenshot2.jpg

[avich]

Thanks, I'm beginning to understand where the source of the problem is.

[Ratman9000]

The Player looks amazing, I love it. The player is so much more unique to OS its amazing. Keep up the good work.

[jadeliciousdk]

I took a screenshot this time

http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss360/jadeliciousdk/e9cd6f2e.jpg

Flash Version 10.0.32.18.

Firefox 3.0.13

System vista :(

It seems to be a random bug.. once you refresh it loads normally

.. and yes you caught me watching J-drama I want to like them so badly, so I'll keep watching till I grow accustomed ^^

[Frances]

having some issues with the new streamer on my mac os x. Can't press the any of the button when i do it takes a while until i could press it again. I'm watching Canaan ep 6 atm... haven't tried it on other videos.

[blackrakizta]

GOOD JOB GUYS!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND FOR MAKING US HAPPY!!! THANKS VERY MUCH!!!!:emh22::32:

[Daimyo]

I saw only two small issues in video and in player function.

1. Wide video is displayed as a 4/3 ratio.
2. skipping the into is now no longer allowed.

over all great.

[avich]

We have modified the player a bit, hope it solves the wrong time/no seek bar/no seek issues. :)

[jadeliciousdk]

I have notcied another bug, and a pretty annoying one at that.. When using my tv as monitor I get the no timebar bug every time.

When using a normal monitor it'll only happen randomly but with the LCD tv it happens consistenly :(

Flash player: WIN 10,0,22,87

Fire fox: 3.5.2

FOr pic just see the one I posted earlier.

[avich]

For now please use the old player until we find this elusive bug. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/43.gif

[ratratrat098]

Can you put some option where one can stream an anime in old player version automatically?

[IrishMonkee]

I like the new player layout but the biggest issue I have is the volume being at 100% for every episode loaded. Will the volume setting be change so that it is initially at like 65, 50, or 45%?

[ranmachua]

I don't know if this little problem is with the player or the video (Bleach 236 if you want to know). If I drag the video back to the start, the whole video that has been completely streamed, vanishes. This leaves me having to stream the whole thing again.
