The videos on that website did play for me in latest Slimjet (11.0.5.0).
I don't know if it makes a difference but Slimjet ships with a slightly older Pepper Flash and I have updated that to latest (which is 22.0.0.209) and I believe some websites refuse to play if the Flash Player version is outdated.
Regarding the other issue,
There is an option in the settings which talks about memory optimisation. To be honest I don't fully understand what it does but you could try experimenting with it to see if you can improve the performance under heavy load.

G'dafternoon Mike,
I think you meant to type a colon but came up with a half-measure in your last post for me?
I succeeded with:
As Daddy Pig is wont to say, 'I'm a bit of an expert in typos' so I should be careful not to be seen to be "throwing stones".
Thanks,
David S.

Version 11.0.6.0 released.
This is supposed to have fixed a bug which prevents videos on Twitter from playing.
Not sure if it is working though, I am still seeing error messages, though they are different from before.
To be honest I am finding Vivaldi better in this regard.

Slimjet version 11.0.6.0 has been recalled.
The download page has reverted back to 11.0.5.0
Reports have suggested that the fix of Twitter videos broke playback of videos on some other sites including Facebook.
In the brief tests I performed, the Twitter videos still did not appear to work in Puppy anyway, not sure why.
They are working to release 11.0.7.0 as soon as possible (and possibly a version 12 based on a newer Chromium).
In the meantime, users may wish to consider NOT upgrading to 11.0.6.0

Version 11.0.7.0 is out.
Videos in Twitter still don't appear to play. Nor do streams in Periscope.
These appear fine in Vivaldi and also Iron so not sure why the problem with Slimjet. Shame because I like the browser otherwise. Maybe they have tested the fix in Windows only. Some reports are suggesting a problem with Pepper Flash 23 but that might be Windows related as well because it seems OK in Puppy in my tests.

Slimjet version 12.0.5.0 based on Chromium 53.0.2785.89 is out.
Now requires --no-sandbox argument in older Puppies (same as Vivaldi 1.4).
Adequate sandboxing in Tahr. Use "tahr" version in Slacko 6.3.* to run with sandbox enabled.
I think the video problem in Twitter and Periscope is due to lack of h264 codec because of licensing issues. Not sure why other browsers have it working
Experimental packages uploaded, but I am considering stopping doing this.
Includes Pepper Flash 23.0.0.185

Also if it helps you can put the normal JWM window borders around it from within the Settings by ticking "Use system title bar and borders". |
OscarTalks, thank you! I got version 12.0.4.0 sfs from your link yesterday, and like it a lot. Under Slim Slacko 6.
But what will I do if you stop doing this!!??

Version 12.0.6.0 now out.
Seems they are releasing bugfixes every couple of days just lately.
I have updated my experimental packages.

@Sheldon and anyone else,
Mike Walsh is also putting packages together for Slimjet

I am tending to use Vivaldi more as my Chromium derivative of choice but have not completely abandoned Slimjet yet.

As Oscar says, look here.
My 12.0.6.0 packages have just been released in the last half-hour. I'm posting from it in Tahr64 now.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=929692#929692
The Puppy maxim has always been one of choice. The main difference with mine is that they reside in /opt (same as Chrome). rather than /usr/lib. Apart from that, it's the same browser.....and works just the same. Just packaged in a different way, that's all.
My inspiration came from Oscar originally; I have him to thank for my interest in SlimJet in the first place. It's taken over from Chrome for me in the 32-bitzers, since Google dropped support for 32-bit Chrome back in April.
It does everything Chrome can.....and then some..!
Mike.

Hi OscarTalks - thanks very much for this. Just tried the Slacko version on my Slacko 5.6 derivative and it works perfectly so far - including pepperflash. Very grateful for your continued efforts at bringing capable browsers into puppydom.
I like to stick with the oldest, most lightweight browsers that I can, but for some purposes there is no substitute for recent offerings. Your versions just seem to work perfectly for me. Real timesaver.
Thanks!

Slimjet? Not Working in Tahrpup 6.05 (32 bit) Subject description: Tahrpup 6.05 Comes With Slimboat - Working Fine! |
|
Hi, I'm posting this from Slimboat.
When I first loaded the 32bit version of Tahrpup 6.05 the quickpet manager came with Slimboat. When I tried to update Slimboat, the site told me to just switch to Slimjet.
Newsflash. Slimjet won't run on the latest 32 bit version of Tahrpup! Good news, though. I have the 64 bit version of Tahrpup, and it runs just fine. The only thing is that the 64 bit Tahrpup is too buggy and crashes frequently!
My advice is to stick to the 32 bit version, and stick to Slimboat, until they come up with a more stable version of either the 64 bit Puppy, or a Slimjet that won't crash with the 32 bit Puppy.
Hope this helps. B"H.

Hi, duckguy.
Curious. Where are you getting your SlimJet from, may I ask? The 32-bit versions that both Oscar and I do for Puppy run without any problems...
I also don't understand why your copy of Tahr64 is 'buggy', and 'crashes frequently'. My own is as stable as they come; it's where I package the 64-bit versions of SlimJet.....and they run just fine.
Mike.
