DivX Web Player 1.4.0 Beta 2

why the web player doesn't work with FireFox? even after installing the beta version? it still crashes.

I am looking to skin my player its already working on my system my troubles are how can other people get my skin when they view my site if your plugin already comes with stage6 or default divx skin? Can you guys add something to the system that will allow users who goto other sites with divx web player to download the skin? its 14kb it wouldnt take very long I find it a bit unfair only a stage6 skin is included considering you guys shut down the site!

Works great other then that I have no problems. Keep up the good work~!

So why doesn't DIVX have any links to this from their main website???

I had never heard of this before today. And then I couldn't find it on their site. How did a million people find out about this to download it if they hid it so well?

Hi, well guys DivX Web Player 1.4.0 Beta 2 works with vista. but i found problems in there like when i scroll the page up and down the video also start going up and down ad the player thing stays in the middle. and also when i make the volume up or down from the player the video starts shaking. But the video quality is good and i found no problem with the zooming.

Hi Guys, Thanks for your comments and ideas. Unfortunately none of them worked.......BUMMER!!!! I have also downloaded and installed a pre-release version of XP Service Pack 3 but still nothing. Something new I have noticed though is a "Temporary Downloaded Files" folder has been placed on my desktop. It contains a part file of 28,290kb. I have no idea what it is and cannot open it.
I think ultimately it is something very minor like something i haven't ticked or an option i haven't enabled somewhere on my PC, but i am not guru so feel as though i am looking for a needle in a haystack.
I will keep trying ideas and methods though.

KBE is a small tool I originally had written just for myself to help me optimize my DivX video encoding work flow. As it has now been running here for more than one and a half years, I thought, perhaps it is time to throw it at the public, and see what you can do with it.

Has not absolutely understood how correctly to describe an error. In beta 1 problems were not (at me). It is possible to attach a screenshot?

The beta did continue everyone....on stage6. They tested beta5 not long ago and a little while ago the final version of 1.4.0 went live.
To get it, download from stage6 using the download button on the top section.

Happy Viewing!

I put in a post on this forum on 09/25/2007 about how Divx has not just abandon development for the Divx Web Player, but is not even going to fix the bugs that are currently in it that make it flat out not a working product anymore, for those who choose to embed Divx Video in their web sites.
I still beg and plead to Divx Labs to just complete Web Player version 1.4 to allow it to function.

The Divx Web Player was fantastic when it first was released and was the best of breed for having visitors and customers play video from website.

Where I guessed wrong on my 9/25 post that Divx Labs abandon the Web Player probably because of Divx Connection. A product that I am skeptical about its success, since what Divx Connection will do, has been done before, by several companies.

I have invested a lot of time and energy for years in Divx and really love the software, but I have been very concerned about Divx staying in business. With the major, major hole in their product line for a functional product that will allow streaming of Divx video, and with the future looking a lot like H.264 is going to be the product of choice for MPEG4, web based streaming video.

BUT .....I just read about Divx buying the absolute best of breed, most technically savvy company, when it comes to the creation of Codecs in the world, Main Concept, I think that I NOW understand what is going on.

I have been a Main Concept customer for years and for the most part, they provide the codecs, encoders and decoders for top of the line businesses. For example the Adobe encoder is made by Main Concept. Corel is going to integrate Main Concepts technology into their software, etc.

One of the things that is so important is that Main Concept has made the flat out best H.264 codec that exists today. Their H.264 encoder is also the fastest and the best quality H.264 encoder around.
Main Concept just released a stand alone encoder called Reference, that will encode one format to another, depending on what codecs have been purchased and installed into it.
With Divx now owning Main Concept, a simple adding of the Divx Pro codec/encoder/decoder to it will allow use to chose out output. Just yesterday, I downloaded the demo of their MJPG codec, so I can convert these videos taken with my Canon digital camera to Divx. I installed it, than it shows up in Virtualdub and worked great !!

I am so thrilled with this purchase.

But PLEASE finish up the Divx Web Player 1.4. It is very frustrating. Stage 6 is not the answer for many of us.

Jon

Can Divx Labs PLEASE complete Divx web Player 1.4. The beta has been out for a long, long time and those who have embedded Divx video in their web sites, used the code generator and SDK info to do this, would really love to just have our Divx videos work for those using the Divx Web Player. For me, I don't care about enhancements on it, but to just function, like it did with version 1.1. PLEASE.

Thanks,

Jon

Hello,

I do not know if this is the place to post it, if it isn't maybe you can redirect me but I have a problem, I have been using DivX for about 1 month now and suddenly a couple of days ago it stopped working. I had updated it too. It says connecting but then never buffering like it did before and it does this for all DivX sites I use. I have Windows Vista and before these were the stages to watch a DivX.
1. It connected.
2. The Color scheme on Windows Vista changed.
3. It buffered.
Now it does not go pass the connecting stage and it does not change the color scheme.
I have the latest version of DivX, reinstalled it twice but it is still not working, and am using Firefox 2.
Any thoughts ? Because DivX is great quality and is the best !!!

Hi.
I just wanted to comment that im ussing the latest release of the webplayer and i cannot play anything without the player hanging my browser, and also, the whole system. Also i downloaded and istalled safari 3.
This morning, i did leave safari with an stage6 page trying to load a video i have some time trying to download, and well, at the same time, i started an ichat video conference, and thats the only things i had opened, ichat, safari 3 and mail, and when i was in the conference, as much as 1 min, whole osx hanged, and the only solution was shut down the machine.. But here's the thing, in the other side conferece, my friend said the camera video was working fine, he saw me and heared me yelling... Also, i never had iChat Video Conference problems.. These things started and happen only with divx web player, on safari and firefox. This is happening on my box wich is a macbook pro core duo 2.16, 2gb ram running OSX 10.4.10.
Roberto.

We just can't seek! Anyone able to help out with documentation about how the stage6 and all .divx files are seeked?

A reply to this or to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354856 would be very helpful!

For the record, making totem work should help not only Ubuntu, but Fedora, OpenSolaris, and everyone else that uses Gnome. I only said Ubuntu because it's what I use and it's hip. :)

For those who were early implementors of the Divx Web Player, like myself, and want to use Divx as their Video player of choice for their own web sites, you might have noticed a drastic change of strategy.
For one thing, all references are made only to Stage 6, and Divx has stopped promoting the Web Player as the vehicle for streaming Video from web sites.
There have been several upgrades/enhancements in the Divx Software bundle, Except for the Divx Web Player Web Player version 3.1 is still included, as all of the other Divx products have been upgraded several times.

Just look at the comment about Beta 2, "Once again, grab Beta 2, install it and head over to Stage6 for some testing." Just Stage 6.

The Web Player has become much less reliable than the early versions of the Web Player, to the point that earlier Divx videos posted on web sites, that used to work, no longer work, or work occasionally.

Questions about streaming video aren't answered anymore from the Divx support forum or from email or phone tech support. Heck the Divx Web Player doesn't even have its own category on the Divx Support Forum.
Divx support told me flat out and more than once, that they know that the Web Player doesn't work and have no idea when it will be fixed.

When streaming video is referred to by Divx, since 1.3x came out, has only been about usage with Stage6 stored Divx files.

This is my opinion,
I think Divx has abandon the Divx Web Player altogether as a solution for streaming video except for Stage6 stored videos.

Instead of the Divx Web Player product development, I believe that Divx is now focused on a new product that doesn't have much in the way of details yet, DivX Connected.

It just doesn't make sense for Divx to leave the major gap of not having a stable and reliable streaming Video solution. Then when I saw the "teaser" about Divx Connected, it now makes sense to me.
I think it is a marketing decision, that certainly I am in no position to judge.

Anyone's thoughts ??

I have been working on skins for current stable release I noticed a large change between the png file however couldnt notice a difference other then it crushed my skin. :(

If you press either the "Preferences" / "General" / "Download video files to:" button or the "Preferences" / "Download Cache" / "Open Cache Folder" button, a new pane opens and the focus moves to it, but the greyed-out Preferences pane remains in the foreground obstructing the view.

DivX Web Player 1.4.0 Beta 2, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7

1.4.0 (b2) is the first version that ever worked for me also, displaying "Connecting..." instead of "Video file not loaded" (or something). I have an Intel Mac running OS X 10.4.10, Firefox 2.0.0.7, and 864 kb/s DSL.

I have been able to make Firefox crash a couple of times, usually by repeatedly manipulating Web Player controls such as the fullscreen button and the video position slider, but it's not consistent.

One bug that is consistent is in full screen mode, when you click on the screen to bring up the controls pane and then drag the controls pane, it bounces between the expected position and the upper left hand corner of the screen (position 0,0?), and also ceases to allow any controls to be operated. Fortunately the pane can still be dismissed, and when subseqently brought back, operates normally once again.

Are there keyboard equivalents for the controls in full-screen mode? Most useful to me would be a single-stroke way to pause playback without having to first bring up the controls pane, which is too intrusive to leave up all the time.

What controls the size for "Buffering 100%"? Most useful to me would be if it were computed from the download rate and the file size such that the playback would not catch up to the download (in the case where download is slower).

Is there a way to make the Web Player preference pane appear without Firefox having to begin downloading a video file first?

Thanks.

My mouse pointer dissapear in the WebPage of Internet Explorer. When I active and desactive the fullscreen function. The ouse pointer never come back and I need close my Internet Explorer to show me the mouse again.

Excuse my poor english.

thanks lot.

Hi
Video output working not correct sometimes, 1 second how blureffect and 1 second normal,Deblocking and Sharpening, IE7
1.4.0 Beta 2 , Intel Duo Core 2 1.60GHZ, 1024 Ram , 128MB , IE7 and FF 2.0.5

Can you make for web player Aspect Ratio 16:9, 16:10, 221:100 on fullscreenmode ?

Thank's for all developer's....

This Beta is the ONLY (yes only!) version of the Web Player which works for me. Any older version just doesnt work. whenever i try to watch a video on stage6 with any older version a window at the bottom comes up saying "cannot play video" or something like that. The only problem is whenever i turn off my computer and turn it on again next time i want to use it i have to reinstall it because stage6 says its not installed! Can someone help me please.

I have the beta 1.4.0 and it works well, but when I watch a video the streaming seems to be slow. Also I try the version 1.3.1 and the streaming is faster en fluid, but this version crash and restart my computer after playing some minutes so I can't see full movies. Why? What can I do to play videos faster with 1.4.0 like 1.3.1 does? =(

The same problem happens on Firefox 2.0.0.5 and IE7

I use Windows XP SP2, AMD Duron 1.10 Ghz, 256 RAM

Hi,

blank screen problems on stage6.com started for me today with downloading the new update, tried pretty much everything from reinstalling to removing plugin - files in the firefox directory and the registry by hand and many other stuff, nothing helped.

got the divx bundle v. 6.5.1 from http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=divx , got the old player now but it works flawless.

hope this helps someone out there ;)

cheers

ps: imo it's a shame that there's not even the possibility to downgrade to a previous version from the official side, knowing about all the problems with the current one.

while in full screen mode my mouse disappears, also once I click on a link o play a video it takes a locks up every thing for a little while before it begins to load the video. thanks

so 1.4.0.whatever pretty much sucks. How can you miss testing a feature like that anyway? (I am refering the error 404 thingy everyone else is complaining about)

Now.. I wouldn't give a crap about this if you had 1.3.1 lying around on your site. oh and by the way, your wonderful website says "download here for 1.3.1" and its not 1.3.1.. its the piece of crap you call 1.4.1 .. so yeah fix it or post a link to 1.3.1. (The "legacy" FAQ doesn't have this file either.. all it has is the DivX 5.0.5 with NO web player which is pretty much useless)

Again... why the hell dont you have it on your website!!?? go look at software on source forge. You will see that you can get any version of the software you want. How arrogant is that? "Oh 1.4.1 is SO much better... who will need 1.3.1 anymore?"

ridiculous!

I am getting the same error as megamanxshopz "the video cannot be found (404 error) it appears to have been removed from the server,

i tried it with the old web player and the video can be found...

i have switched to this beta version due to problems with the older version of web player with vista because it would play a video for 20 mins then it would give me a blue screen of death and i would have to restart, this is on 64 bit vista

but its good that this version supports 64 bit, though i wish i did not recieve "this video cannot be found", this has happened to multiple maybe about 30 videos

Great work, but please disable, at least in fullscreen mode, the energy saver on OS X, otherwise the screen goes black after x minutes, which is a bad thing... :)

And caching isn‘t working, because of permission problems. Setting permissions is impossible, because i don‘t know the location of the cache folder, if he even exists. :-)

On my website, approximatively 4% of visitors are using linux, and so do I.

Will a linux version of DivX Web Player be available and when ?

Thank you for your answers...

Hey,Hi ~Long Time no See...
yes, the pc ,i am testing for this is now the vista one
And ,There's the bug on controlling the volume of this web player
In windowed mode,Do the action of controling volume of the sonud
the window may appear,disappear,appear,disappear...
That's!

The Player moves as I scroll, AWESOME!

Vista has been out for how long... and I still don't have a decent build?

This version of the web player successfully let me view videos on Stage6 and other sites. However, there are a few problems. Upon loading the video, my browser (firefox) freezes for about 30 sec - 1 min, and it doesn't let me do anything else. I used to have an older version of the web player before I formatted my computer -- unfortunately, I don't remember the version number -- but I remember that player being very quick. As soon as I clicked play, it said connecting, quickly buffered, and began playing. Now, it takes a minimum of 30 sec to even began buffering. How can I fix this?

I'd like to know if there's a way to set a Divx Web Player object to have Trasparent effect like Flash do with this command:
wmode="transparent"

Is there similar feature with Divx ??

Mauro

Hi everyone,

i don't know, if this is the right place to mention it, but since i don't know any better one i'll just post it right here.
I have - from my point of view - a possibly unusual, yet promising setting over here. I use a FritzBox ADSL-Router/Modem, which supports connection of an USB-harddrive, that can be accessed via ftp by all computers within the network, e.g. me and my brother living next door both have WLAN access to the files on this disk as long as we're connected to the router.
Cool thing is, as long as i rename all videos stored on the external drive to .divx files, we get an instantly starting, buffering-free streaming of my videos right in the browser window - more or less a vod-at-home solution. If i had more upload bandwidth at hand (let time go by a bit further) i could litterally have my own vod-access from any computer running the divx-plugin,e.g. friends etc. via the ftp-function and a dyn-dns setting.
While this has been and is working perfectly with versions up to 1.3, the 1.4beta1 and 2 versions just keep showing "Connecting..." the whole time and can't be forced to start playing by pressing the play-button, despite the fact, that - if caching is enabled - you can notice an size-increasing file in the cache-folder, meaning that the download in fact already runs, rendering that "Connecting..." message total nonsense.
I was hoping, to make use of your player in the future and am just wondering, whether this is a bug or you dropped this functionality on purpose...

Regards,
V.

I downloaded and installed DivX Web Player 1.4.0 Beta 2.

I first found it odd that the instructions after downloading was to head over to Stage6 for some testing..
Why the recommendation to "test" on Stage 6 ????

I have to ask again if the Divx Web Player is NOT meant for web developers, but will Only work with Divx video uploaded to Stage 6

I personally don't think that testing the Divx Web Player in a controlled environment like Stage 6 is a test at all, except for Stage 6 users.

The video that I posted in the prior forum (I don't feel like reposting it, from the 1.4.0 Beta 1 comments, showed that my video worked perfectly in Stage 6, but had mountains of problems when executed from my Web Site, where I called the video from the a created with the HTML created by the DivX Web Player Code Generator .

Am I wasting my time expecting the Divx Web Player to work from my web site ?

I did try my video with this version Beta 2, and it is totally unusable.
The video froze after 11 minutes, I got the usual de-pixilization, it took several minutes to start while it was buffering and saw it count from 1 to 100.

I for one saw virtually no progress from the Beta 1 and see no progress from Beta 2 as far as using the Divx Web Player outside of Stage 6, as it was initially intended and when it worked great.

PLEASE let me know if the web player is no only a Stage 6 product and for developers, who want to incorporate Divx video on their own sites, need to tell their customers to download the Divx video and run it locally on Windows Divx Player ?

On a response I received from customer supoprt on this issue today, I received a "canned" response from them. Divx Support basically is throwing their hands up and are refusing to support the Divx Web Player

Here is the second of these canned comments I ahve received from Divx support, when I asked about problems regarding the Divx Web Player.

Hello John,
Thank you for contacting DivX!!
I have read your post and have answered your emails. Unfortunately I don't know when the web player will be fixed. What I can tell you is that we do listen to our customers, but you have to realize that fixes take time.
Let me know if you would like to discuss this further
Regards,
DivX Support

The part of the canned response from Divx Support that gets me is this one Unfortunately I don't know when the web player will be fixed.
If Divx support doesn't know when the Divx Web Player will be fixed, then certainly I don't know. But Divx listens to their customers ? I get the impression that Divx Support is wiping their hands of the Divx Web Player.
I asked if there were workarounds, and some other specific questions.

Thanks,

Jon T
