Replace Awesomium

[DarthTealc]

Awesomium is based on Chrome/Chromium 18 AFAIK. That's way too old. And there's no indication they're going to fix that any time soon.

Can Awesomium please be replaced with a more up-to-date browser implementation? For example "Chromium Embedded Framework" which is used in Steam.

I would love for better HTML panel support (As well as the loading screen, because I can't use Canvas in it right now and it makes me very sad)

[P4sca1]

It seems like everybody is complaining about Awesonium since months... I think there should finally be done something.

[P4sca1]

This sounds as it will be changed in the near feature. Good job! :D

Cinema is no longer able to play YouTube Videos at above 360p quality due to the limitations of Awesomium. More info here.

Please, please, sooner rather than later, do this.

Definitely past due, Cinema has become a big part of Garrysmod. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Replacement

[SpencerJP]

+1, don't like Awesomium, a new framework would be better.

[kklouzal]

+1 Replace Awesomium. Use Steam's framework.

[Jake3231]

I agree. Along with insufficient support for different things, Awesomium is very unstable and is often the cause of crashes in my game. +1

[gamerpaddy]

+1 Replace Awesomium, its crashing my game too frequently.

Followed closely by Scriptfodder and Skidcheck.

[Shigbeard]

COUGH

[Kefta]

Stop spamming; it's already being discussed in the Next Update thread

[aStonedPenguin]

no

[jasmin12e]

Please :( I don't want to see cinema just die off..

[xaviergmail]

This has nothing to do with JUST cinema. There are many great uses for Awesomium, including but not limited to HTML UI's, which would make many people's lives easier rather than dealing with horrible derma. And please don't say docking. Making responsive UI's that scale well with docking is a pain. It would also help improve our loading screens with cool canvas stuff. I have a beautiful loading screen just sitting in the shitter right now, waiting to see the light of day, and I'm sure many other people have many other cool things waiting. Not to mention the huge performance impact that even further limits what we can do with Lua. Not saying anything else would be performance-tastic, but I would hope so. Rant over.

[Shigbeard]

Yeah, I too have a loading screen that has had to be dumbed down because Awesomium just couldn't handle it. It's slow, it's old, and any delays in its replacement will only do further to harm the community, the very community that has kept this game strong for how many years?

You can claim "its too hard" or "i dont have the testing environments" all you like. The fact is, Awesomium MUST be replaced, and the sooner it gets done, the better everyone's lives will be.

JUST DO IT

[ILOVEPIE]

Awsomium needs to be dropped, my suggestion would be to go with the open source alternative to awsomium: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef

[ILOVEPIE]

Awesomeium does not wrap CEF at all

[ILOVEPIE]

https://html5test.com/s/f8cfde2afcf3ba18.html <- there's your problem (this is the score page for the version of Awsomium currently in the dev branch of gmod)

[Shigbeard]

no mp3 audio support

Come on facepunch, step it up!

[WinterPhoenix]

I've made another post arguing for Awesomium's replacement, highlighting most of the reasons for why it should be done, here.

[Shigbeard]

Dont waste your time. They will just update awesomium to some pointless build that fixes absolutely nothing.

[meepen]

:-1: :box: :-1:

[Velkon]

You're a pointless build that fixes absolutely nothing!

[Shigbeard]

So is your mother.

Please fix this, Cinema servers are becoming slower and are lagging more thanks to this.
