Yes, I can confirm the bug. With unpatched Flash10h.ocx (for IE), I am indeed able to click the resolutions directly.
After the patch, I can only toggle by pressing the current resolution at the bottom.
No biggie though, definitely can live with it here ^^;

You can change video quality while fullscreen by click several times on drop button:
On other player you don't have any problem for example this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2RCBa3l-gLast edited by roma_turok; 14th Jun 2010 at 13:35.

Sorry for the delay, I ended up needing to do some work and haven't been able to check out the problem. Now that I have the time, I will start right away.
-
After looking through the the code I found a call to load data at the end of the dll with the first three characters "CWS" (Compressed Flash), I extracted that data into a new file and played the file and that was it, the attachment is a copy of that data. Having years of experience of raw editing flash files via a hex editor, I will change a few ActionScript timer variables to effectively disable the appearance of the message. That way it will be 100% compatible and be processed as normal.
-
OK, I updated my original post with the new patch.
The new patch is much larger but no one should have a problem with it. -
Great Job Chronomaster.
I tried the new patch, it's harder to patch but indeed fixes the small "change rez in fullscreen" bug (using the activex version).
Thanks again! -
Can some one post new ocx?
Thanks.

Thank you CHRONOMASTER, the "Press esc..." message no longer appears.
I was wondering if you can fix another problem with Flash10h.ocx
It has a h264 header check so it will only use hardware acceleration for progressive video (not interlaced)
But this check fails with the BBC iplayer, possibly due to DRM interference, even though the iplayer videos are progressive.
Can you disable this check or hard code a jump to always use hardware acceleration?
What tools are there for dissassembly/code examination? -
Am I the only one that noticed the mouse pointer doesn't disappear in fullscreen anymore?
-
Sorry, even if I could locate that portion of the code and the video is using the required codec for hardware acceleration, I don't have access to the BBC iPlayer as I live in the US.
For tools I use are IDA Pro Disassembler for code locating and Ollydbg for code changes, but in the latest case for changes I used 010 Editor to edit the swf file by hand after decompression.
I have not noticed that on players that implement that function.Last edited by CHRONOMASTER; 1st Jul 2010 at 01:39.

Thanks, CHRONOMASTER, for the disassembly tips.
I've patched your version of flash10h.ocx again to omit the SPS header check
https://vstuff.virginmedia.com/n/50-26/f/420700716/deflate/no/
It seems the BBC iplayer sets a flag that says interlaced format is possible, that causes software decode fallback.
Its not a problem with DRM in any way. -

Patched the plugin (for Firefox etc) to bypass the SPS header check (for the BBC iplayer)
again starting from CHRONOMASTER's version.
TIP: Replaces file of the same name in the Macromedia flash folder (under windows/system32) but I also had to delete existing file rather than copying/renaming it due (I think) to some strange caching issue -
Thank you! I'd just bought a new graphics card specifically so I could watch HD content in the iplayer, only to find this was the one thing it made no difference to. Now it does.
I still can't watch HD in the iplayer desktop app - very jerky video - do you know if this is essentially the same issue and whether a similar fix may be possible? -
The iplayer desktop uses AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) which, although release at the same time as the Adobe Flash Player, does not have the H264 hardware acceleration feature (probably because it aims to be a more cross-platform solution)
Or, maybe it does have the hw acceleration but only by using the flash plugin (the same as the one fo Firefox etc.) with the bundled WebKit browser, which is not the way that the BBC have implemented it.
So, no, the iplayer desktop cannot be patched in this manner. -
Hi David
I am new to applying these patched files to my Flash in Chrome. I have downloaded the flash10h.zip and also the npswf32.dll.
After extracting I have put them into the following folder windows/system32/Macromed/Flash/
However, there already seems to be a flash10e.ocx there. I removed this and renamed the flash10h to flash10e and also I replaced the dll attached. After doing this, closing and re-opening Chrome, I was still shown the "press esc" message and iplayer was not using hw acceleration.
Could you please give me any tips on how to get this awesome patch working?
Thanks! -
gurmu, uninstall flash properly (not renaming stuff lol), then install it from the adobe page, THEN replace the files with the ones from this thread.
-
hi there!
Ive uninstalled both IE and Chrome versions of flash using the official uninstaller. Then installed the latest flash from the flash site for Chrome. Replaced the DLL file only and when opening up any youtube vid, the "press esc" notification is still showing.
Maybe I am having that same cache issue? -
Hmm then, possibly a cache issue.. just swapping the files worked first try here (xp sp3 though).
-
It looks like the strange caching issue. Also you may need to completely uninstall any (beta?) version using
this http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
For Chrome you need to then install the plugin, then replace the npswf32.dll file by DELETING (do not copy or re-name) the installled one and copying in the patched one. -
Chrome uses it's own flash plugin, see this other forum
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2975246#2975246
So either set it to use the system version or work out how to patch Chrome's separate install. -
Hello Everyone,
I updated my post with a cleaner patch that pretty much equals one line of actionscript.
I also made a patch for Google Chrome.
For Vista/7 users of Google Chrome you can find the file you need to patch/replace at:C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\{LATESTVERSION}\gcswf32.dll
And for XP users:
C:\Documents and Settings\{USERNAME}\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\{LATESTVERSION}\gcswf32.dll

Hello, I want to report a couple bugs, first the mouse pointer no longer dissapears, and second when I go to Youtube and see some videos I can't use my mouse scroll wheel on the favorites menu from the tools bar, it doesn't happens in all the videos and usually happens after pausing and resuming the video. Here's an example of a video with the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYGlWjIKoY4&playnext=1&videos=LpuUCZsqxZk&feature=sub
I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on Win7 32bit.
Thanks. -
@Guazzap
I have not experienced any problems with the mouse cursor not disappearing when it's supposed to.
And for the toolbar issue, that toolbar is a combination of html and javascript and not part of the flash player, as far as I can tell.
Assuming your using the patch in my post here.
I'm also using Firefox 3.6.8 on Win7 32bit.Last edited by CHRONOMASTER; 7th Aug 2010 at 23:10.

Hey thanks for your response. I downloaded the DLL file from the link and now everything is working perfect thanks. I had downloaded the .exe from the first page of this thread.
I did a test and the problem with my bookmarks doesn't seems to be related with the patched file.
