Navigator stopped working

[juliocoliveira]

For some reason the navigator are not working anymore, its not showing the changed url on the textbox and the video detection, closing, and playing on PlayX are not working either. There is no errors to try to find what is the issue.

Need to do some testing and investigation, probably garry did some breakage there.

So, Sam's Media Player, is also broken, with the exact bug. Can someone do some investigating?

it seems like when you frist spawn a media player it doesnt work. tho if u remove it and spawn it again it seems that it does work.

update: ok now this is strange... on sam's media player it seemed that the navigator worked normall on without the cefcodecfix. but after i got it installed again not it doesnt seem to work at all? like i can launch the navigator yes, but it doesnt change the url's on the top.

Yeah, probably is a CEF Codec Fix bug, try to remove the code fix, very integrity of gmod and see if PlayX's navigator and Sam's media player works, if does not, then garry broke it, If it does, so is a CEF Codec Fix bug and you can send a issue on their page, so it gets fixed, I'll keep the fix because of Twitch, so we have to wait to see.

ok ive gotten the hang of it, its not cefcodecfix its the actual media player that has the problem. it still doesnt show anything even without the cefcodecfix. it seems that the navigator only works like 10% of the time. (oh yeah playx navigator still doesnt work)

[juliocoliveira]

OK, So it's garry's breakage there, Maybe it changed some hooks or GUI classes, I really don't know what is the issue to be exact, need somebody with a lot of Garry's Mod's Lua knowledge to fix this, I'm a bit rusty when it comes to Gmod Lua new features and stuff, So cannot fix it by myself.

[TR094]

oh yeah how did the navigator even work back then? is it like media player where u click on a youtube video and then click ''request url''?

[juliocoliveira]

It only worked for YouTube and It did automatically, It showed the URL in the box, if it matched with a youtube video it closed the navigator and played the video in the PlayX entity's player. Worked great, but it needs some improvement, like disable the automatic play to put a button to request the video play, and need to work with each provider, and change the default homepage to https://ziondevelopers.github.io/playx/ , like Sam's Media Player, and that's a lot of work. I don't remember much of Gmod's Lua, so need to study and understand how to do that.

Anybody who wants to do that and help us would improve PlayX greatly.

i found someone else made a navigator that works flawlessly, now i just need to make it work with playx

[TR094]

i could provide you the code and you could try to integrate it yourself
