Please make 32 bits version for Windows 7 OS

[trimechee]

Hello, Our beloved MonnPlayer is the most powerful media player in the world, thank you so much for this awesome amazing media player! 💯 🥇

Recently my laptop broke down and I went back to using my old laptop made in 2012 which has windows 7 os 32 bits, I was hoping to use our beloved MonnPlayer because streaming videos freeze lag on the heavy web browser but apparently there is no 32-bit version for windows 7 of Mpc-qt and we hope please there will be a version of MonnPlayer for windws 7 os 32 bts, please, because surely, millions of people still have machines with the legendary windows 7 os and the old machines are robust and still work and the MonnPlayer is useful to save these machines from destruction, thank you very much !

MoonPlayer 4.3 can works on Win 7 x64 with enabled VxKex for moonplayer.exe. Also enable VxKex for lux.exe.

[trimechee]

Thank you very much Mr @adeii for your great help and valuable information about amazing VxKex !! 💯 🥇

so we can install VxKex without risk of instability in our windows 7 os SP1 ?

also I talked about the topic of yt-dlp which ends the support of windows 7 os and Mr @nicolaasjan was generous to offer us a special updated version yt-dlp compatible with windows 7 os 32 bits with the precious help of Mr @bashonly's advices !

https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader/issues/465#issuecomment-2446653988

[adeii]

so we can install VxKex without risk of instability in our windows 7 os SP1 ?

Thanks for asking. VxKex can not cause instability to OS. If someone AV detects it as malware, add Kexdll.dll and VxKex folder as exception. VxKex is user software that use DLL remapping only for programs for which it is enabled. Lux 0.19.x is one of the latest versions that works on Win 7. New one (with VxKex) have error during URL parsing. News about YT-DLP are just great!

[trimechee]

Thanks for the explanations :) 💯

yess, and it will be the dream if VxKex supports yt-dlp or N_m3u8DL RE the external m3u8 parser of Cat-catch extension....

so Mr @adeii , there is a controversy around VxKex, the original project page made by @vxiiduu has been deleted and some accuse some copies of VxKex that we find on github of being fakes containing malware viruses.....

what do you think is the official or trusted link of VxKex? I think it is one of these 3 forks:

https://github.com/Blaukovitch/VxKex

or

https://github.com/commandcontrolQ/VxKex

or

https://github.com/i486/VxKex ?

[adeii]

https://github.com/i486/VxKex ?

This one should be right one. User i486 is legal heir of vxiiduu's project.

[trimechee]

Amazing ! Thank you so much for your help @adeii :) 💯

[adeii]

You are welcome, @trimechee ! BTW, mpc-qt-win-x64-2406 also works on Win 7 with enabled VxKex.

[trimechee]

excellent! thank you very much for informing me Mr @adeii !

let's notice also that these media players : mpc be, mpc hc, potplayer with 3D Youtube Source plugin, smplayer, qmplay2, kmplayer are compatible with windows 7 os 32 bits and work without problems!

[adeii]

These work for sure, no need for VxKex: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/MPC-BE/releases https://www.smplayer.info/en/download-windows (Qt 5 x86 version) https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2/releases/tag/24.06.16 https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

These should be tested: https://www.mtbs3d.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=26137 https://kmplayer.com/home#layer-pc

But look at this: https://github.com/adeii/Qt6Win7/releases/tag/Qt652 (MoonPlayer 4.3 and MPC-Qt 24.06 for Win 7 x64)

[trimechee]

Wouahh Great !! many Thanks Mr @adeii for this amazing fantastic rare Qt6Win7 !! 💯 🥇

yes all players works without the need of VxKex, i test them all, even kmplayer, but kmplayer in the version that i test wees ago, i can't choose the youtbe video quality and it displays ads in startup......

i find potplayer with 3D youtube source the best player in the worlds,

https://ys.3dyd.com/

because we can stretch video easily, add external audio easily when we dowload seperate video only and audio only streams from certain streaming websites, we can choose the video quality easily from main interface, have internal youtuber player.....but in some windows 7 os like me, the video is blurred and I fixed this problem by activating hardware acceleration dxva and choosing in the settings the internal codecs of the os instead of those of potplayer....same for smplayer, blurred video so I chose output driver direct3d and it fixes the bug.....

it seems Qt6Win7 moon player is only for windows 7 64 bits only ? there is no 32 bits version ? Qt6Win7 Moon player works without the need to install Qt Creator ?

and for MPC-Qt, we should install Qt Creator and VxKex ?

so it is possible tu use qt6 in windows 7 OS ! what do you think Mr @mhogomchungu ? the best downloader int he earth ou beloved Media-Downloader should maybe upgrade to qt6 even for windows 7 os ?

"Qt 6.5.2 x64 for Windows 7/8. (Designer, Linguist, Qdbusviewer...)

Install Qt Creator from official site or unpack from https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/releases Even the latest Qt Creator 14.x works on Win 7, but enable VxKex for installer and unistaller, too."

https://github.com/adeii/Qt6Win7/releases/tag/Qt652

[adeii]

Older, modded programs, with suffix -VxKex need VxKex. (No need for Qt Creator nor Qt 652.) Compiled programs, with suffix -Win7 should work on Win 7 and no need any dependancies. (No need for Qt Creator nor Qt652.)

Yes, both program are 64bit, since I'd compiled Qt 6.5.2 from sourcecode using official manual. I can not find any Qt 6.x.x in 32bit online. Maybe, just maybe, if find to compile Qt 6.x.x with 32bit compiler, I will try to compile those players in 32bit, too.

[trimechee]

Great ! Thanks so much for yout great generosity and help Mr @adeii :) 💯 🥇

please i don't hope to tire you compiling in 32 bits, because for the moment, we have a wide choice of media players compatible with windows 7 os and I prefer to use mpc be which is very fast light has an internal youtber parser and then, i don't need mpc qt or moonplayer, and mpc hc, ptoplayer...... work without problems and there is shorcuts mouse in potplayer, I can add the links with ctrl +v......

and since yt-dlp no longer supports windows 7 os, the developer of QMPLAY2 advised me this:

"You can manually replace the yt-dlp exe file in %AppData%\QMPlay2 (rename unofficial exe if needed to replace existing file) directory with the unofficial version and it should follow the unofficial updates."

if these media players don't work anymore in windows 7 os , then I will contact you Mr Adeii in order that you save millions of computers and people that still maybe use 32 bit softwares, thanks again :) 💯

[adeii]

You are welcome, @trimechee !

[trimechee]

Thanks :) 💯 🥇

Hi Mr @adeii with hindsight, I changed my opinion, because my favorite streaming site:

https://v5.voiranime.com/

puts many anime videos on the Russian platform mail.ru:

https://my.mail.ru/video

https://my.mail.ru/mail/jeanp1337/video/_myvideo/4659.html?from=videoplayer

https://v5.voiranime.com/anime/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-vf/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-01-vf/

this Russian platform does not censor anime and this Russian platform is one of the rare platforms to still offer standard 360p quality ideal for old cpus, and despite that, my weak old eee pc can lag freeze in playback of standard streaming videoss so I am forced to put the video lines in a light media player, the potlayer encountered problems with this russian platform, smplayer can't playback videos from this russian platform (the developer told me he uses linux and doesn't have any problems with mail ru but I tried with my previous windows 10 computer and with my current eee pc windows 7 os and I can't playback videos from mail ru),

and Qmplay2 couldn't play videos from this platform then i inform the developer who fixed the problem but sometimes on my windws 7 os, Qmplay2 doesn't playback videos (sometimes qmplay2 can't playback youtube video and from other platforms) plus with the end of yt-dlp for windws 7 OS, we have to do manual manipulation to add yt-dlp 0 qmplay2....

and even Moon Player can't playback videos from mail ru video and I even opened issues in the github of these media players....i discover jucevlc that seems to have 32 bits and i plan to test it but i don't think that jucevlc based on vlc support yt-dlp or youtube....

and one of the rare media players that can playback videos from ok ru is Mpc-qt, in addition qt softwares are very light fast and ideal for my weak eee pc which heats a lot because it has no fan and stops working when the program uses intensive resources .....

so Mr Mr Adeii, we know it is very difficult because you explained to us it is complicated to compile Qt 6.x.x with 32bit......

but we will be very grateful if it does not tire you too much, we will be happy and life saver if you try to make an attempt to make mpq qt 32 bit version for windows 7 os 32 bits, and also for moon player 32 bits because maybe the developer of moon player will fix the problem with mail ru .....

Thank you very much!

I have a question about VxKex please, the original repository has been deleted, is the development of VxKex stopping?

I also found a rare program that adds patch compatibility to windows 7 os:

Binary patcher for Go programs on Windows 7 / Server 2008

https://github.com/stunndard/golangwin7patch

[adeii]

Well, I still can not compile MPC-QT even older Qt 5.15 code with 32bit cmake. libmpv-2.dll/a is 64bit and makes problem.

Some of solution is https://github.com/mpvnet-player/mpv.net/tree/5.4.8.0 i686 version should works on Win 7 32bit, it uses mpv-1.dll There is no problem with censorship, there is I-am-No-Robot check on play and later on download that fail to stream video in player. Try to DOWNLOAD video, and drag download link to mpv.net player. Video should starts, but some subwindows are not working like playlist.

p.s. I guess that developing of VxKex is paused for a long time. p.s.2 Drag download link to VLC player works, too. https://videolan.mirror.ba/vlc/3.0.21/win32/vlc-3.0.21-win32.exe

[trimechee]

Great ! Huge Thanks Mr Adeii for your great help and generosity and for trying make 32 bits version ! 💯

yes there is captcha, vidmoly platform certainly wants to protect itself from censorship....

but i d'ont have problem with VIDEO FROM vidmoly platform, because i can download directly or preview the embedded vidmoly streaming videoS , i don't need to go to vidmoly main site, i just play the video from voiranime site,

i found solutions to this captcha problem:

either I copy the m3u8 link of the vidmoly video embed detected by the excellent Live stream downloader extension:

https://github.com/chandler-stimson/live-stream-downloader

and this fork without blacklist :

https://github.com/helloyanis/file-downloader-unleashed

and I paste in vlc or potplayer, sometimes it doesn't work, so I talked to Mr Chandler who advised me to use Open in vlc which adds user string agent, referrer...and solves bugs and allows better compatibility with streaming sites:

https://github.com/andy-portmen/open-in-vlc

and it worked!

but we must also install native client:

https://github.com/andy-portmen/native-client

vlc is good and allows me to increase the network cache to 60 seconds, ideal when our internet connection becomes weak, but vlc does not allow video stretching because there is video streaming with a black band and vlc only zooms and it erases part of the video, I tried vlc 4 beta and there is a stretch video option, mi vlc 4 beta is full of ugs and the stable version seems far away .....

sometimes when there are separate streams audio only and video only, I discovered a secret, we must go to advanced options of vlc / gnu tls / choose priority for fast encryption and we can playback the video without problems : )

but I gave up vlc because my small eep pc has a small screen and every square centimeter each pixel counts so I use potplayer which has a video stertch option which removes black band, in addition some streaming sites offer audio on y stream and video only streams and I can download these two streams then playback the video only file and quickly click on the external audio option (you can even assign a mouse or keyboard shortcut) and thus enjoy the video without needing to merge audio and video!

also i can preview vidmoly embedded video with potplayer in setting of the great Cat catch extension :

https://github.com/xifangczy/cat-catch

we should also use :

https://github.com/xifangczy/URLProtocol

and add this command to preview with potplayer in preview settings of Cat catch :

potplayer://${url} /referer="${referer}"

the developer of Cat-catch extension, when i inform him that with the new chromium kernel, preview with poplayer don't work in catsxp browser, in this site :

https://v5.voiranime.com/anime/arifureta-shokugyou-de-sekai-saikyou/

he tells me chrome change the custom url protocol and this is potplayer which should fix this problem....however preview encrypted embed hls videos with potplayer in firefox works fine without problem and there is no more child process so we can close firefox and keep only potplayer !

[trimechee]

So Mr @adeii , if i understand well, even if i install VxKex to install the official mpc-qt, VxKex will not fix the problem because mpc qt qt i only for 64 bits cpu and i use windows 7 OS 32 bits ?

but how explain smplayer use qt5 and the last smplayer version is compatible with my windows 7 OS 32 bits without VxKex ? qmplayer and mpc qt don't use the same qt engine ? mpc qt use qt 6 64 bits ?

[adeii]

Yes, SMPlayer x86 uses Qt5 and x64 versions uses Qt6. MPC-Qt is x64 and it uses mpv x64. So, unless mpv x86, no mpc-qt x86.

[trimechee]

Interesting, thank you :) so i re install again the new version of kmplay 32 bits for windows 7 and i am surprised i can playback video from mail ru webstire ! kmplayer team seems to have done great work with the new update, but youtube video 360p lag freeze, i am testing experiment different video render, internal codec, disable lav filter.... to try to fix this problem...

[adeii]

Found 32bit MPV - works on Win 7, but libmpv-2.dll (used by MPC-Qt and MoonPlayer) demand VxKex for streaming video. https://github.com/adeii/Qt6Win7/releases/download/Test652/mpc-qt-x86-24.06-VxKex.7z (bugged version)

[trimechee]

Great !! Because kmplayer has bugs when i switch to internal codecs, and youtube video lags bugs....thank you so much Mr @adeii for your great generosity to add 32 bits of Mpc qt and i will try to install vxkex and your new mpc qt 32 bits and i wll inorm you of the result !

if i try Mpc qt, i thnik we should add maually yt-dlp, shoul we please add the official yt-dlp or we should add the unofficial yt-dlp comaptible with windows 7 32 bits made by Mr Nicolaasjan ?

:

https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases

i think the ultimate dream is yt-dlp support vidmoly platform that has many video anime episodes, but a developer of yt-dlp tells me he can't support officialy vidmoly platform because of dmac complaints.....

i find 2 rares tools that support download from hianime website, the problem i dont understand very well english and i lke t watch anime in vf french language dubbing, himanime websites may have french subtitles embedded in media player but i don't like watch anime in vostfr,

because it tires the eyes and it can give me migraine ... I asked the developers of these software to add support for vidmoly platform and I am waiting for their answers:

https://github.com/kemuvx/hianime-dl

https://github.com/pratikpatel8982/AnimeDownloader

the dream is to have a fork of yt-dlp that supports sites that yt-dlp avoids officially supporting like vidmoly, the generic downloader of yt-dlp can work with sites not officially supported ....

in addition I recently discovered that there are many plugins to extend the functionality of yt-dlp to fix for example youtube cookies problem but it seems you have to install python ....

https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-youtube-oauth2 https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-get-pot https://github.com/seproDev/yt-dlp-ChromeCookieUnlock

I found a fork of yt-dlp called ytdl-patched :

https://github.com/ytdl-patched/ytdl-patched

which has a 32 bts version and seems compatible with windows 7 os and which adds new features to yt-dlp but I don't know if this fork of yt-dlp supports vidmoly, the developer of Animedownloader Mr Pratikpatel8982 asked the developer of ytdl-patched to add the hianime-dl plugin.....then Mr Pratikpatel8982 decides to make his own downloader with graphical interface that incorporates the hianime-dl plugin......

anyway,

let's talk about the media players that seem the most promising to me: because it's tiring for the eyes and can give me a migraine...I asked the developers of these softwares to add support for the vidmoly platform and I'm waiting for their answers:

https://github.com/kemuvx/hianime-dl

https://github.com/pratikpatel8982/AnimeDownloader

the dream is to have a fork of yt-dlp that supports sites that yt-dlp avoids officially supporting like vidmoly, the generic downloader of yt-dlp can work with sites not officially supported....

anyway ,

let's talk about the media players that seem the most promising to me:

Mr Stax76 the developer of Mpv.net https://github.com/mpvnet-player/mpv.net make recently new media player : mpv hero

https://github.com/stax76/mpv-hero

the new media player seems great because it allow to select the quality of streaming video but

it seems mpv hero doesn't wor in windows 7, i think , like many other players, it is 64 bits....

there is also Gridplayer based on vlc player and adds streamlink and yt-dlp support to vlc kernel ! :

https://github.com/vzhd1701/gridplayer

i think also it os only 64 bits and sadly, yt-dlp engine didn't bee updated since months.....

i tried also the super powerful chineese player Kikoplay but doesn't work in windows 7 os 32 bits :

https://github.com/KikoPlayProject/KikoPlay

le pricnipal problème qui je rencontre est la compatibilité avec l'external parser :

https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE

supporté par la great extension Cat-catch :

https://github.com/xifangczy/cat-catch

avec le invoke protocol :

https://github.com/xifangczy/URLProtocol https://o2bmm.gitbook.io/cat-catch/docs/invoke

because there is a limit of webassembly that does not allow to download videos larger than 2GB, for the moment I download animated episodes and their weight is 100 MB, but sometimes, on certain streaming sites, there are separate streams video only and audio only streams and Cat-cacth extension need to merge them, the great develper of Cat-Catchadd support of external m3u8 parser N_m3u8DL-RE but N_m3u8DL-RE is only compatible with windows 10 or 11, Cat-catch extension has also its own ffmpeg online website to merge audio and video :

https://bmmmd.com/

but with recent updates, ffmpeg online doesn't merge audio and video any more in my wndows 7 os and the developer says to me probably my cpu is too old....

i aked the great developer of N_m3u8DL-RE Mr Nilaoda to make 32 bits version of his m3u8 parser downloader for windows 7 os and this is his response :

"

Download [.NET SDK] x86

git clone https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE.git

cd N_m3u8DL-RE\src\N_m3u8DL-RE

delete Directory.Build.props

dotnet publish -r win-x86 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:SelfContained=true

Please note that the above steps have not been tested by me and there may be some issues."

https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE/issues/425#issuecomment-2273698418

so Mr @adeii , do you think if i succed to do that, N_m3u8DL-RE will work in my windows 7 os 32 bits ? i am not expert and developer and it seems bit difficult and also the developer Mr @Nilaoda said to me he didn't test in windows 7 os 32 bits.....

if this doesn't tire you and you find this interesting, , can you please try to make 32 bits of N_m3u8DL-RE to make things more easy for me and other users of Cat-catch that may use N_m3u8DL-RE in windows 7 32 bits machines ? because the most important thing in an old computer is to be able to watch videos and to be able to download high quality videos allows to continue to use old os and old computers and enjoy streaming videos despite weak cpu and weak internet please, thanks !

[adeii]

For now, maybe this could help https://www.videohelp.com/download/N_m3u8DL-CLI_v3.0.2_with_ffmpeg_and_SimpleG.zip

[trimechee]

Thanks :) yes i know N-m3u8DL-CLI which has 32 bits version, this is the defaut m3u8 parser supported by Cat-catch but i think i see psot of Cat-catch who said N-m3u8DL-CLI is no more updated tha's why he added recently modern N_m3u8DL-RE.....well this is not serious probelm for now, even if i can't use any more ffmpeg online of cat catch (i have erro message and the developer says me my cpu is old to support certain instrcutions) , alt stream recorder extension from edge store that can decrypt crypted hls video and edge version is more powerfl of chrome store version (i discuss with the developer whos advises me to use edge store version of his extension because chrome store prohibit the download of encrypted hls videos) and all stream recorder extension can donwload and merge audio and video internally without the need of external parser, and my catsxp browser is compatible with windows 7 with the last chromium kernel and has option to support installation of microsoft store extensions store...

any way thank you so much for your help 💯 🥇 so Mr Adeii, you mention the new great mpc qt 32 bits is bugged version ? should i wait for more stable version please ?

[adeii]

Build with .NET 8.0 x86 - I think it works, at least works with local TV stream to many *.ts files. https://github.com/adeii/Qt6Win7/releases/download/Test652/N_m3u8DL-RE-x86-Win7.7z

I dont think that MPC-Qt would be more stable, unless it is older version, with the newest working mpv.

[trimechee]

Interesting ! Thanks so much for offer us quickly this amazing version 32 bits :) 💯 🥇 i will try to test it with cat catch because i should read chineese documentation to add commands in cat catch settings to make N_m3u8DL-RE work......yes we prefer newest version of mpc qt :) i will test and inform you if i find probelm or bugs, thanks again !

[trimechee]

Mr @adeii , ouahh i discover you make also arrowdl for windows 7 !!!

Arrowdl is great but actually, even it integrated elements of downthemall extension, Arrowdl can't detect url of embed videos and download them and can't detect vidmoly extension and iasked the developer to add feature to detected embed streaming videos.....

however there is other open source file download manager with powerful extension that can detect and download encrypted hls videos and even youtube video !! this is the best download manager in the earth : File centipede, we can have free codes to enable all features : the developer of File centipede offer free activation codes :

https://filecxx.com/en_US/activation_code.html

https://github.com/filecxx/FileCentipede

file centipede , by having the rare ability to download encrypted videos , can save billions of weak and old laptops notebooks from destruction, because weak laptops can't playback HD videos in heavy html5 browsers, if it doesn't tire you too much, please we hope you make an attempt to compile file centipede 32 bits for windows 7 even though i know there is little chance that it will work because filecentipede seems to work only in windows 10 or 11 and only have 64 bits version .....

but since I discover you have succeeded in the rare exceptional feat of compiling arrowdl for windows 7 os, maybe be fielcentipede can work in windows 7 os, thanks!

[trimechee]

Mr @adeii , there is no more need to compile file centipede, is it no longer worth compiling file centipede for windows 7, I had an argument with the developer of file centipede, his bad program can't download hydrax videos, vidmoly videos and from many sites, sometimes his program detects vidmoly links, sometimes not and the developer continues to deny these bugs ..... and I send him out of charity generosity goodness of soul tools to fix these bugs and he denigrates me because supposedly his program can download hydrax video when it is not the case, he tried an easy to download jwplayer video to hide the weaknesses and bugs of his program and pretend that his program can download complex problematic video .....

and he blames me for sending these rare tools that I find to other developers lol, he is jealous haha, already yesterday I send him an original unpublished message that I have not sent to anyone with new tools to make his job easier because he has not made a new version of his buggy program since February 2023 !! and I help him and instead of thanking me, he wants me not to send my exceptional discoveries to other developers haha ​​and wants me to wait wisely for the new version of his program while he is slow to fix bugs, to implement the sequential download.....it is he himself who told me that he will do that and fix these problems I am still waiting for months haha, so it is normal that I contact other developers and many developers express their joy and gratitude because I help them, the guy has nothing better to do in his life than to spy on me lol, for example it is me who put in contact developers of yt-dlp with the developer of unofficial yt-dlp for wndows 7 after the end of support for windows 7 os and they were able to discuss and fix bugs to have yt-dlp 32 bits windows 7 necessary for many million programs of users.....

filecentipede has an extension outside of its own, does not put its personal information, first name, address.....file centipede is a suspicious shady program and we must be wary and we must report this program, I told all that to the ungrateful developer of file centipeded lol, I'm not afraid of him lol

[trimechee]

the deceitful developer of file centipede cowardly deletes my comment or I reveal his disgusting insincere behavior and forbids me from commenting while keeping my issues open where I warn him of bugs and I offer him rare tools fruit of a lot of research to fix the bugs, what a despicable ungrateful selfish profiteer character and in addition he did not deny his program is paid, he insults me and profits from the fruit of my efforts, serious mistake to help this unworthy guy, I reported him to githug and I will ask my thousands of twitter subscribers to report him, my goal is to ban this shady spy developer from github who has nothing better to do in his life than to track my conversations with other developers to express his jealousy, haha, who wants to play with me will assume the consequences

[adeii]

Forget about centipede. It is too complex for use.

[trimechee]

Yes, than for advise :) 💯 i didn't want to help him, because even he offers free activation code that we should change from time to time, the software seems paid and the developer of file cetipede said his software will become without activation codes if the software has 100k stars in github.....

then there are some bugs so by charity and generosity i decided to help him by submitting my discoveries and he spits in the soup lol.....

Mr @adeii , after many tests, this is the most powerful extension in the world to download videos because it can merge audio and video without external tool.... i discuss with the developer and he recommend me to use edge version of the extension from microsoft edge store because chrome policy prohibits downoad encrypted hls videos and edge store has no such limitation apparently ....

the problem we must have microsoft edge browser unavailable on windows 7 os, so here are the secret game changer tips that i found :

go to the site official alt stream reorder :

https://www.altextension.com/stream/fr/index.html

we get the link to the microsoft edge store :

https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/altstream-recorder-hl/lmnlleihgiilhajakklebcmgacmmbngj

and we use this rare site to extract the extension from the edge store and thus we can install the extension from the edge store in chromium browsers like supermium, thorium legacy, catsxp....

https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/

or use catsxp browser which becomes compatible with microsoft edge store with the command

--enabled-microsoft-brand

by going to settings,/first steps/ startup settings

on the other hand catsxp is not open source, catsxp has solved a bug that I encounter in windows 7 and I thank them but the administrator of catsxp forum banned me from the forum when I politely asked that catsxp enable the internal setting of chromium to block heavy ads , an internal feature that is enabled by default in chromium useful for blocking crypto mining, heavy ads ..... to be objective, catsxp which seems to use brave kernel , brave browser has also disabled the heavy ads blocker and this is sad ....

and catsxp is chinese, I use it out of necessity because the video downloader extensions require us to use the latest version of chrome and catsxp uses the latest version of chromium ..... it is better to use https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/ to download the extensions from the edge store ....

i find other extensions but they are not open source, i didn't test them, stream recorder has double certification from google that't why i prefer use stream recorder when there is problems with live stream recorder and cat-catch :

this addon can detect embed streaming video, but chrome store ban the extensions and the developer says to me his extension was banned because of dmca complaints and he plans to publish new version of the extensions ( maybe in toher store or in crx format)....

Ohh great !!! Mr @adeii huge thanks gratitude for sharing !

google chrome for windows 7 allow adding extensions outside the chrome store ? and should we install VxKex for chrome windows 7 or edge to work properly ?

i noticed in the relases page of chrome windows 7 :

reg_DisableOSWarning_windows7.reg reg_manifest_V2.reg reg_ms-setting_windows7.reg

should we open the registry editor and add these commands manually ?

i asked if we can add extensions outside the store because a developer have made fork of the famous "Live stream downloader" by removing the blacklist (the fork removes any possible censorship) and he informed me days ago that he has migrated to manifest V3 and that's why his extension should become compatible with chromium browsers ! :

so i would like to test the new version of File-downloader-unleashed with chrome windows 7....

Thank you again for this important sharing!

Mr @adeii, about file centipede, what I find strange is that activation codes are needed to apparently enable all options even if the developer provides them for free, for the moment.....

so the developer wants his software to be paid and at the same time his software is open source, i.e. anyone can steal his work?!!! it's very strange, plus his software can download constantly evolving youtube while the software hasn't made a new version since February 2023! without accusing him but it's very strange, I'm not an expert, can you please confirm Mr @adeii that the source code of file centipede is completely open and accessible and consultable and can be subject to a security audit by other developers? the same for file centipede extensions? the developer offers activation codes so we can think it is a paid software and at the same time he makes his code open source available to potential competitors and other people who can steal his work and make paid forks !! I think that users and the @github community should have the right to checks concerning this software and we hope Mr Adeii that you could please take a quick look at the source code of file centipede and see if there are any strange unusual things in its code, thank you :)
