Since I’m no graphic designer, it’d be great if someane could create a few icons for me (PNG, alpha channel, 16×16 and 32×32 sizes). A rounded square with an EO placed inside will be fine, although I’m open to other ideas.

If you are a graphic designer that’s your chance contribute with Embedded Objects.

• added support to F4V Flash videos. The extension now tries to discover .mp4, .flv and .f4v videos;
• added a button to clean the history of discovered files.

As always, I’m open to new suggestions.

It’s working with a bunch of video sites:

• YouTube
• MySpace
• Vimeo
• Dailymotion
• Yahoo!
• Break
• Metacafe
• CollegeHumor
• LiveLeak

There are a few rough edges, especially with YouTube HD videos, that should be fixed in the next version. Unfortunately, I couldn’t test it with Hulu, because the assholes block people outside US from viewing their videos.

I also removed the cache support from the quick list of downloads. Firefox doesn’t cache big files, and a lot of people were complaining that EO stopped working when downloading big files.

You can still try to download the file from the cache in the detail window.

This version brings 2 fixes:

• Apple Trailers support: Apple keeps trying to block downloading from their site (and I’ll keep trying to stop their games)
• Support to Firefox’s cache: when Firefox loads a page for the first time it caches everything it founds: flash objects, music, video and applets. In previous versions, Embedded Objects would download an item again, now it’ll try to use the cached element instead.

The download is here.

I submitted a new version on September 1, that corrects 2 bugs brought to my attention:

1 – it uses the browser cache now, which should make easier to people with slow connections to download content (no more downloading 2 times the same file);
2 – it’s possible to download trailers from Apple website again (I had to change the QuickTime code to avoid Apple’s shenanigans).

I just hope someday Mozilla will make it available to users.

Reparei que o soft-reset do MoonShell (o ícone com um R que aparece no canto superior direito) estava desativado:

Como essas opções só funcionam em expansões que têm soft-reset, experimentei ativar novamente o soft-reset (tocando no ícone) e as opções apareceram novamente no menu do GBA ExpLoader.

Como o último jogo que eu tinha carregado na memória NOR antes do problema começar continuava funcionando (dando boot via slot-2 no MoonShell), eu estava desconfiado que era algum problema no software e não no hardware do meu 3-in-1. Testei tentar usar uma versão anterior do ExpLoader e consegui recuperar meu 3-in-1.

Bastou baixar e rodar o GBA ExpLoader 0.53, o 3-in-1 passou a funcionar novamente. Inclusive, rodei depois a versão 0.58b novamente e meu 3-in-1 não deu mais problema, jogos de GBA, expansão de RAM e rubble estão funcionando novamente.

I made some minor modifications to support Silverlight objects. Microsoft being Microsoft added a new attribute to the object tag, source, instead of using the existing src attribute.

I also updated the QuickTime detection code: now it shows the original QuickTime file and the actual movie file in the list.

You can download it here.

To improve your viewing experience, you can download the trailers and watch them outside the browser using a decent video player. To do that, you will need my extension Embedded Objects.

Install it and after go to Apple’s site and select the trailer you want to watch. Apple usually makes standard (small, medium and large) and HD (480p, 720p and 1080p) trailers available.

The links are inserted in the web page by some javascript code. You need to actually click in the button for the extension to detect which trailers are present in the web page.

They try to prevent people from downloading their trailers (unless you fork Apple some money for the Pro version of QuickTime) by using a placeholder file that contains the actual address of the movie. My extension can read this kind of file and find the actual trailer file.

Just click in a trailer and a little icon will appear in the bottom of the window (shown above), clicking in it will pop a menu showing the trailers available. All you need to do now is select the movie you want to watch and download it to your computer.
