Not much has changed since 0.3.3 (see twotoasts.de for changelog), but there's something worth updating for.

A new webkit. Webkitgtk-1.4 to be precise. It should ensure better rendering, a *lot* faster javascript engine, and general stability improovements.

22/5-11 - Flash works now! To use it, place the flash player into appdata/midori/plugins, rename the plugin to adobeflashplayer.so



Thanks to BlueMaxima for helping me with the boring process of testing and debugging.


Known problems: It doesn't use the systems GTK theme.

Also on the repo.

Yo, works great, now the javascript functions wor much better in Websites, for example the minimizing of forum sections here in this forum.

But the new Midori seems to have big problems with the speed dial site, you can't add anyting and actualy you only see a white page. I was able to copy the speed-dial-file from 0.3.3 Midori so I have at least my old speed-dial sites in. But the Windows are miss-aligned (have to scroll down) and you still can't add anyting new there. Besides this, the preview pics of the speed dial are to big and out of place (this already was in 0.3.3.) The old built in Midori has correct placed and sized Images in the selecting windows but I have no clue how I can get it in the new Midori like this.

But overall, I like the updated Midori. It hasn't crashed yet and sites load fast enough for nice browsing, good work. ^^

I've no idea of what's causing the speed dial issues. Will look into it when I get my pandora back.

Also: adobe flash player now works! See first post for instructions

hi

where can we get the flash plugin?

[slaeshjag]

I dunno, I only know it's embedded in the Firefox 4 beta PND.

So I should rename the PND to .sfs and open it with 7zip on my PC, as instructed here?

open firefox
check /mnt/utmp/firefox/lib/firefox-4.0b10/plugins/

Um, doesn't mnt/utmp just map to pandora/appdata, so wouldn't that be in appdata whether Firefox is opened or not?

EDIT: Hmm, no, apparently not. Ok. Looks like it only partially redirects to pandora/appdata, not entirely

OK, it works, after some messing around I found the plugin in Firefox. ^^""
Flash works -more or less. It somehow stops caching the video stream after some seconds, I have to pause the video and then it continues caching, it only caches OR plays but not both it seems - same like in firefox beta. And somehow Fullscreen Video doesn't work, I only see a grey surface, can this be fixed?

I got it working as well. I found the same thing as fusion_power with regards to caches.

Also, Youtube runs very choppily (Minitube is certainly a better choice for now), but some other Flash-based video sites run much better, fullspeed even. But I do get the problem where they only seem to play a little bit at a time, even if I give them lots of time to load the video.

There's also a little red rectangle at the top-left of a video.

On another note, in the future, would it be possible to update the Repo on top of the prior version, so that I can get notified about the update in PNDstore? Currently there's a Midori 0.3.3 and a Midori 0.3.6 in the Repo as separate entries. This really isn't necessary, because the Repo keeps old versions archived anyway, so anyone who wants to can access them.

But more generally, thanks a lot for this. It seems to work very nicely. I'll be watching to see if it has any crashes, and will post the .out file if it does.

Does anyone know if there's a shortcut key I can press for "back" and "forward"?

Does anyone know if there's a shortcut key I can press for "back" and "forward"?

IIRC
Back: Alt + A
Forward: Alt + B

[Esn]

Ah... that's not comfortable at all on the Pandora. Is it possible to change it to something involving the shoulder buttons?

[meandu229]

backspace is also back which is convient for me

That it is, thanks for the tip. Can you see somewhere what the buttons/shortcuts are?
