McQueenNewbie · 2013-06-14 21:23:13

Hello,

I'm using 2 monitors, if i make full screen on youtube on one of my monitors and click mouse on the 2nd one fullscreen is closing, how i can fix it ? i need to have fullscreen on one of my monitor and work on nextone.

You might want to set FF to fullscreen and try Flash Game Maximizer
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … maximizer/

To fix it I used the AUR fullscreenhack package. It installs a library that you have to manually load with LD_PRELOAD:

LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libfshack-npapi.so /usr/bin/firefox

You may just create a simple script that calls Firefox like that and put it into your path. It fixed all full screen flash player issues I've had without it before.

You have to insert the correct path to libfshack-npapi.so. I guess it will reside in /usr/lib, which would change it to the following command:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfshack-npapi.so /usr/bin/firefox

McQueenNewbie · 2013-06-15 08:27:19

That path is correct, file is in /usr/lib but still got

fullscreen hack loaded... running under flash = 0

The GLib warning can safely be ignored. The second error 'Error: cannot open display: :0' doesn't look well, though. I guess I'm safe to assume you're running the command from within a X terminal?

I just saw that the hack is only intended to fix issues with Nvidia cards. I've got an Intel graphics chip but it still fixes the click-close issue and problems with size. But, well...

If you want to use it only for YT videos, I suggest you try something different. Get the link and display it in a mediaplayer. I am doing it this way:
- install FlashGot
- add your mediaplayer as download manager (I use SMPlayer)
- set the manager for "flashgot media" to your player
- open YT video, wait for it to play and pause it
- use the context menu of the media icon in the addon/statusbar to open the video.
Or use a Flash downloader addon.

Look at step 2 in "Get Flash videos to remain full screen when working (clicking) in the other desktop" in the following link: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/ubuntu-m … creen.html

It's a workaround for Ubuntu but I think it also works on Arch.

mplayer "path-to-url" #mplayer2
mpv "path-to-url"

Custom hint mode for Pentadactyl:

" .pentadactylrc
" Launch current URL as an argument
nmap <S-q> -s -js commands.execute('!mpv "' + content.location.href.replace(/([$`"\\])/g, "\\$1") + '" &> /dev/null &');

" Custom hint
js <<EOF
hints.addMode("q", "Launch video from hint", function (elem, loc)
              commands.execute('!mpv "' + loc.replace(/([$`"\\])/g, "\\$1")
              + '" &> /dev/null &'));
EOF

Alternatively you could use quvi which can automatically set the preferred quality and window title. I.e.

# ~/.quvirc
exec = "mpv --quiet --cache 4096 --title=%t %u"
format = fmt45_720p,fmt44_480p,fmt35_480p,fmt101_360p,fmt100_360p,fmt43_360p,fmt18_360p,fmt34_360p,fmt83_240p,fmt36_240p,fmt5_240p

http://5digits.org/pentadactyl/ is a plugin for Firefox which adds vim-like interaction and mouse-less browsing. I'm sure the same can be done for vimperator, dwb and vimprobable but I'm unsure how.

The entire rational is to bypass flash entirely where possible.

All of that regex is simply used to clean up the url and escape any malicious content. E.g. "http://some.malicious.url/?=$(rm -rf ~)&potatoes" becomes harmless.

Have you instaled sudo?

Edit: You could also use "su root" to run commands as root.

Yes it can, simply get the nightly or clone the repo and build it, e.g.

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/dactyl/
cd dactyl
make pentadactyl xpi
firefox downloads/pentadactyl-1.1pre.xpi

But, it may not be for you, not yet perhaps. Good luck anyway.

Have you configured sudo with visudo?

You need to add:

your_username ALL=(ALL) ALL

Earnestly · 2013-06-15 11:52:20

The point was to bypass your problem, not fix it

Pentadactyl will take over many of your keys, as I said, it's supposed to mimic vim. In the case of (C-a) it will increment numbers in TEXT EDIT mode (C-t in INSERT MODE) while C-x will decrement.

i add my username to visudo

so i'm tring sudo ghex in terminal and its invalid option

stipo · 2013-06-15 13:08:29

Could you post your /etc/sudoers?

My FlashGot solution is not downloading the video. I use FlashGot to extract the video url, and let it open smplayer to stream it.

Another very good solution is popvideo. It puts the flash player into a new window which you can set to fullscreen using your window manager (Alt-F11 for me). IT is not exactly the same (the buttons won't be hidden, but I don't think that is a real problem) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/popvideo/

Devilspie is another potential solution (haven't tried it with dual monitors) . You would have to adjust the geometry string depending on your resolution:

 #  ~/.devilspie/flash-fullscreen-firefox.ds
(if
    (is (application_name) "npviewer.bin")
    (begin
       (focus)
       (above)
       (geometry "1360x768+1920+0")
    )
)

EDIT: actually, its not quite that simple I guess, because of input grabbing.. maybe you have to experiment with something like this:

(if
    (is (application_name) "npviewer.bin")
    (begin
        (stick)
        (wintype "dock")
        (geometry "1360x768+1920+0")
    )
)
