I decided to have some fun trying out different apps. VLC STREAMER HELPER FOR MAC OS DOWNLOAD 360PIf even 360p is too much for your Mac, replace "&fmt=18" with "&fmt=5" to load 240p videos (warning: in my experience VLC doesn't always work flawlessly with flv files it's not common but I've seen it happen). VLC STREAMER HELPER FOR MAC OS DOWNLOAD CODEThe script also adds the code "&fmt=18" to the video URL, to avoid opening a HD clip on a slow computer. It works both in Safari and in TenFourFox (and in every other browser where command-L selects the URL bar). In the next line replace "&fmt=18" with "&fmt=5" to load 240p instead of 360p If script doesn't work, try to increase the delays (1 second should solve issues, but it will make everything a bit too slow). ![]() Warning! Reliability may vary with system and browser used. Since VLC is so Youtube friendly, I modified the first script so that I could open a Youtube video with a single keystroke. I get the following (on average) results from MenuMeters:įlashVideoReplacer (quicktime): ~ 85% CPU usageĬorePlayer (video enabled): ~ 35% CPU usageĬorePlayer (video disabled): ~ 14% CPU usageįlash (aah aah, king of the impossible!): ~ 95% CPU usage (I was actually expecting more, this must be Tenfourfox doing its magic). While playing this clip (on my 1.25 GHz 1GB ram eMac) In Coreplayer select "disable" for the video output. In VLC click on "enable video" in the video pane. The cool thing is that in both players, if you only want to listen to music, you can go to the preferences and disable the video output. On other sites and with Coreplayer it's not so fast, but still very simple (with CorePlayer you also don't get playlists, but it still is the best if you want to watch HD clips). Do it again with other videos and you'll see how easy it is to create a playlist (so you can keep track of what you have watched/listened to). So on youtube (and for VLC) it comes to a simple sequence of "command l" "command c" "alt -" "command p". FlashVideoReplacer and DownloadHelper really come in handy here, especially when dealing with embedded videos. Coreplayer accepts only links to video files and will freeze otherwise (not a big deal, just force quit). Elsewhere you will need the link to the actual video file. ![]() Be careful! On youtube (and only on youtube) VLC will accept the link to the video webpage. For example I've assigned "alt -" to VLC and "command alt -" to Coreplayer.įor the scripts to work you have to copy the video url in the clipboard. Assign a name and a keystroke combo, then click on create. Click on file and select the script you have just created. VLC STREAMER HELPER FOR MAC OS DOWNLOAD DOWNLOADDownload a cool little app called Spark from here: Now we will create shortcuts for these scripts. Tell application "CorePlayer" to activateĬhoose a location on your hard drive and save. So I tried to automate the copy and paste process of the video URL from browser to external player. I don't even want to compare it to CorePlayer. FlashVideoReplacer on Tenfourfox is good for that, but Quicktime, while being a lot better than Flash, still is a bit of a resource hog when compared to VLC. I like to listen to music from youtube while surfing the web. Also, I'd like to know how these work in Tiger with older versions of VLC. Now, I'm a complete noob with Applescript, so I hope you can help me improve/expand them. I'd like to share two very simple scripts I have created to watch videos on an external player. ![]()
