Thanks for the Iron Fork .. first with adblocking.. but

Post by Wisdom Fluxion »

:)

Iron has massive CPU spike hulu, a flash video streaming site. :(

Code: Select all

But I shall not be using the google fork: they are evil.

I hope your adblocker will become more like firefox adblockplus ;)

thanks again!

Does this only occurs on hulu or on youtube, too?

I am not a big fan of youtardtube. It is the company with the most resources to produce the highest quality streaming video. However it is a step backwards for the technology.

I shall test that site and many other streaming video sites in the next few days for you. :)

Apologies for my tardy reply. The spike was limited to 2 out of 8 machines: no issues with Core2 or better systems in regards to spikes. NO amd. NO overclocking: it is foolish.

Now using Iron version 0.4.155.0 plus your adblock.ini

I can see the video, but no sound. Please review. Specify your flash version, too, please.

(or any other youtube video.. I tested a few dozen from the right side panel in youtube)

sound: [ Iron: no | Firefox3: yes | IE7: yes ]

On Core2duo hulu now plays, but video with no sound

sound: [ Iron: no | Firefox3: yes | IE7: yes ]



Adobe Flash version check: WIN 9,0,124,0

I have no desire to install AIR.

It is the same flash version in Firefox 3: no problem playing youtube videos. I really wish people would publish videos to http://Blip.tv instead so we can all enjoy high quality, high bitrate H.264 streams. ;) I am leery of installing Chrome to cross check.


I realize this is a German forum and I thank you for providing an English forum. My vocabulary in German is not sufficient to converse with a child. If my grammar is burdensome please advise.

Your innovation is shaming google into (appearing to do) more work on Chromium extensions :D

I did not mention this previously but this how Iron is launched from the shortcut

"C:\Program Files\Iron\iron.exe" -disable-java

I did not accept the default installation directory and I do not allow java to run.
