==Troubleshooting==
If the script doesn't seem to be working for you, please try:
#If you have Adblock, Flashblock, or similar addons installed, disable them on homestarrunner.com.
#Reinstalling the script, by clicking [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Phlip/Greasemonkey&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&fakeextension=.user.js this link].
#Uninstalling Greasemonkey (from the Tools menu in Firefox, choose Add-ons, then go to the Extensions section, click Greasemonkey, then Uninstall), and then reinstall it (from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 here]). You'll probably need to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Phlip/Greasemonkey&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&fakeextension=.user.js install the script] again.
If you're still having problems after that, ''then'' ask for help on this page. Be sure to mention what versions of Firefox and Flash you have, and what other extensions you have installed. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

==Release notes==
===Version 1.0 (8 Mar, 2006)===
*First released version.
*Had the fullscreen, seek bar, prev/next and wiki link features.
*Worked only on the main site.
===Version 2.0 (26 May, 2006)===
*Added the preferences menu.
*Added support for Videlectrix and the HRWiki mirror.
*Added "outside the frame", April Fools and plain HTML navbar options.
===Version 2.1 (8 Aug, 2006)===
*Tooltips in the preferences box.
*The "more better" rando link is now always on... the less better version was just ugly, so I removed it.
*You can set what types of toon are included in the rando selection.
*You have the option to make it check if the next sbemail/whatever actually exists before putting the "next" link (so there's no "next" link on the latest email).
**The only reason this wasn't there before is that it means an extra hit to the H*R servers... but now that I have the preferences things set up, so you can turn it on or off, I think that's fine.
===Version 3.0 (29 Aug, 2006)===
*Added [[HRWiki:Subtitles|subtitling]] functionality.
*Updating no longer requires uninstalling the previous version.
===Version 3.1 (27 Sep, 2006)===
*Whether to show the names next to subtitles is now a distinct setting from the one for colours - you can have neither, either or both.
*There is a button that will purge the local cache for all subtitles-related files downloaded from the wiki and reload the page, for when the cache is out of date.
*The ability to update the test subtitles without refreshing the page for every change (NB: disabled by default, see [[#Refresh Subtitles|below]]).
*Rewind and fast forward buttons on the seek bar to go to the first/last frame, respectively.
*Flash loading progress bar on the seek bar (see how much it's loaded).
===Version 3.2 (25 Sep, 2007)===
*Add option to automatically check for script updates (on by default).
===Version 4.0 (8 Oct, 2014)===
Complete ground-up rewrite of the script! Featuring:
* Chrome support! Install the extension from the [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/homestar-all-in-one/ekecfcebbojjfaiendgjgcadampmppdb Chrome Web Store]!
** Note: Due to limitations in how the settings storage has been written for Chrome, any settings you enter will not transfer between sites... so if you, say, turn on Subtitles while watching a toon on www.homestarrunner.com, and then go to a toon on the HRWiki mirror, your settings won't transfer across, and you'll have to enable Subtitles again for the new site.
* Turning settings on and off no longer causes the page to refresh.
* More modular codebase, making the code easier to navigate and maintain.
** The script is now built from a number of smaller files, accessible at [https://github.com/mrphlip/allinone GitHub].
* Cleaned up some bugs and bitrot from the last version of the script being 7 years old... browsers have changed a lot since then, and the script has been tweaked to match.
===Version 4.1 (2 Oct, 2017)===
* Rewrote Flash-interaction handling to work in newer versions of Chrome.
* Added wikilink override for [[Screenland - 24 Apr 2017]]
===Version 4.2 (22 Nov, 2017)===
* Quick fix for basic support for Firefox Quantum and Greasemonkey 4.
===Version 4.3 (24 Nov, 2017)===
* More thorough fix for Firefox Quantum and Greasemonkey 4.
* Rewrite a lot of the script to use promises instead of callbacks, so the code is a lot cleaner.
===Version 4.4 (11 Mar, 2018)===
* Run on HTTPS pages (NB: Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey only, not in Chrome extension).
* Run on Tampermonkey on Chrome.

*{{done}} Work on Videlectrix.
*{{done}} Work on the mirrors (<s>[http://homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/ kitkorp]</s> ''(not needed with Tom working on completing the HRWiki mirror)'' and [[Mirror:|HRWiki]]).

:I've got one. You could try "flipping the ''whole page'' upside down". You know, using the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipperMainNav.swf?contentURL=main_nav.swf flipped navbar], too. And putting the navbar above the flipped toon/game.<br />
:Also, you could try adding A-B repeat to the seek bar, if you know enough to do that. Preferably make it a seperate sub-option in the prefs, too.

Just as a side-note for people who run into the same problem I did: if you use a program that blends its own Javascript functions into every page you load (mainly found in ad-munching software, like Ad Muncher), make sure you disable it BEFORE installing the Greasemonkey script.  Otherwise the extra code might break it, requiring you to clear your cache and install it again with the filters disabled. [[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 14:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

== Refresh Subtitles ==
OK, this feature will need some explaining... First, go Tools&rarr;Manage User Scripts, click on "Homestar All-in-one" and click "Edit". If it asks you to choose a text editor, just pick Notepad unless you have something better. It'll look ugly in Notepad (it doesn't recognise the line endings) but it'll work. Now search for <code>if (settings.testsubs && false)</code> and change it to <code>if (settings.testsubs && true)</code>. Now you can use the feature. First you have to turn on "Test subtitles" and hit "Save and apply" as usual, but the next time after the page loads there'll be a "Refresh Subtitles" button below the text area, that re-parses the subtitles without reloading the page - invaluable to subtitle authors.

The reasons the option's not avaliable by default are:
*The interface is clumsy... sometimes the button's there, sometimes it's not there... depending on whether the test subtitles were already enabled before the page loaded... given it's something that's supposed to update stuff without a page load it can be confusing.
*It's not exhaustively tested, and has some weird side-effects (it calls <code>savesettings</code>, so if you, say, turn off the seekbar and hit "Reload Subtitles" the seekbar will remain, but it'll save that you want the seekbar turned off)...
*It's not permanent... Version 4.0 will hopefully make it so that ''all'' settings work like this, and clicking "Save and Apply" won't have to reload the page.
So it's there if you want it, but it's not cluttering up the settings boxes of people that don't want it.

Anyways, enjoy! {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

== Not working in nightly build  =( ==

In the nightly build of Firefox (Dubbed Minefield), the script has limited functionality.
The subtitle language selector doesn't work, as there are no options. I will try to clean up to make it work..right.

[[User:Onekopaka|onekopaka]] 02:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
:By design, if subtitles are turned off, the script doesn't contact the wiki at all. When you turn the subtitles on, it tries to download the [[Subtitles:Languages|list of supported languages]] then. The list is empty until that finishes (I suppose I should put a "Loading..." message in there...). So wait a bit, see if it turns up. Failing that, it is a nightly build after all, you should expect some things to be broken... the name "Minefield" isn't just for show... chances are, it's a problem with either <code>GM_xmlhttpRequest</code> or <code>DOMParser</code>... and if so, then it's either a Firefox issue or a GreaseMonkey issue, and there's little I can do about it. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Are you ever going to put this in the [http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScriptsSpecific#head-afce957a390e4b53ef2a03b41fd1b4c04a5f926b Greasemonkey Script Repository?] Just wondering... --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

== not working ==

i installed greasemonkey but there isnt anything under tools. you do mean tools that is above the adress bar, right? {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 22:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Tablet stuff ==

Hey, this is a really neat script. Anyway, I use a tablet computer, and I've noticed that, when viewing a toon in portrait (tall) mode, the toon will cover up the top two buttons ("settings" and "wiki") if the script is set to scale the toon to full size. This is, I imagine, because the script expects the screen to be wider than it is tall, as most computer screens are... so when that is not the case, the toon sticks around the top of the page and covers up those key buttons. This doesn't happen in normal, "landscape" mode because the toon is horizontally centered across a wide screen. If the toon were vertically centered as well, or at least nudged sixteen pixels downward when on a tall screen, those buttons and their inherent usefulness would be unveiled for all. ("Landscape" mode is, of course, the better option for viewing Homestar Runner, but I think this would be a pretty good fix nonetheless.)

There are some other things: in Firefox 3.0 beta 4, the seek bar extends too far to the right, visually (covering up the buttons to its right), and does not seem to work for changing your place in the toon. Also, the script never seems to be able to load subtitles, perpetually leaving "loading" in place of subtitle options in the pulldown menu. Oh, and the "settings" bar has most of its scrollbar obscured by the toon, oddly, though it still works.

I hope this helps in working out any kinks. If nobody else can reproduce these errors, I can provide more details. Anyway, thanks![[User:24.22.64.228|24.22.64.228]] 05:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

== 30 Frames fix? ==

For some reason, with the SBCG4AP "ad," the seek bar doesn't work at all. It counts the frame, but all the buttons (besides the zoom) doesn't work. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:This has nothing to do with the high framerate (which is 24 anyway, not 30), and everything to do with the fact that the HTML file is on homestarrunner.com, but the flash file is on Telltale's servers... Flash's security gets in the way, and there's nothing that can be done about it. Best I can do is make it so that the seekbar is disabled on that toon (or, at least, make it more obvious that it's informative only, and you can't use it to control the playback). Which I'm working on. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3.2.3 broken in FF 2? ==

I can't get the subtitles if I upgrade to 3.2.3.  I'm  using FF 2.  I see that it was changed for tweaks for Firefox 3...did you notice that it breaks it in FF 2?  I don't think a version that breaks it in the current version of Firefox should be released to the update. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 16:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:Oops... I didn't think to regression-test the changes in Fx 2... yeah, that doesn't work. The deal is that, in an earlier version of GreaseMonkey, DOMParser wasn't available for GM scripts to use... and you had to use some workaround to get at it. That workaround didn't work in Fx 3, but the site I got it from listed another option that did. Turns out that other option doesn't work in Fx 2. It also turns out that the workaround isn't necessary at all any more. It's gone now, and the script works in both Fx 2 and 3 (it should auto-update again in the next day or so). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== Trouble dragging in FF3 ==

If you try to drag the seek bar, but are already moving the mouse when you start dragging (move it faster if it doesn't do it for you), it messes up.  By messes up, I mean it flashes the cursor between a circular crossout symbol and the normal cursor as you hold it down (still moving the movie as you move), then when you release, it keeps following your mouse until you click on it again. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 20:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
:Huh. That's... bizzare. I get a similar thing, but instead of the cursor-flashing thing you're saying, it actually starts dragging around a slightly-shrunk picture of the seekbar, and sometimes some of the surrounding buttons. I'll look into it (which I guess means I'll need to figure out how the drag-and-drop stuff in the seekbar actually works, since I didn't write that... that'll be "fun"). In the meantime: Don't do that. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
::"In the meantime: Don't do that." lol yeah...It's just that I do it accidentally pretty often now, and it's annoying. I'll try to avoid it in the meantime, though. Thanks for looking into it. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 14:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
:::OK, this is fixed, I think. I never found a way to reproduce it reliably, but I think I could get it about one try in 3 or 4... and I tried about 20 times now, and I can't get it to happen... let me know if it still happens for you. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I am finding if I used the plain HTML navbar with the script, it is not working and I get a dialog box saying "rando.xml has not loaded yet. Be Patient." from homestarrunner.com.

::The wrong-URL thing should be fixed now. Things were happening in the wrong order... the tooltip and the page it would send you to if you clicked matched, but the URL in the status bar was from the previous selection... I tweaked the timing a bit, so this doesn't happen any more. I couldn't reproduce the infinite "has not loaded yet" thing... try clicking the "Clear Subtitles Cache" button in the preferences screen... the same button will clear the rando.xml cache, forcing it to really try again to download it from the server. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Subtitles broken ==

I'm on Firefox 3, with Adblock Plus (disabled on h*r.com and hrwiki.org), and the subtitles don't appear. I check "Show subtitles" in the options, and a list of languages appears, but when I go to anything that has subtitles - I tested it on [[Play Date]] - I get a "loading subtitles" message which disappears after a second or so. Other features like the seek bar work fine. Thanks in advance, [[Special:Contributions/24.250.112.127|24.250.112.127]] 23:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I was about to report a problem with this, but I forgot about having to disable Adblock to get the subtitles working, even on the latest build. I'm installing Firefox in Ubuntu, and I though the crappy flash plugin was the problem.

Anyways, you may want to make this advice more prominent, in some sort of FAQ. (If you have already, well, I couldn't find it.)

I noticed that your icons are embedded in the script as base64 data. If you used an encoder program, which one was it? --{{User:Y2K/sig}} 00:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:It's pretty simple... just convert the picture to PNG (I use The GIMP for that... any web-friendly image format will work, but PNG is best), then [[Wikipedia:Base64|Base64]]-ify the PNG file (I just use the tool in [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/coreutils coreutils]), and tack "<code>data:image/png;base64,</code>" on the start, then use the string as the URL for the image. Wikipedia has [[Wikipedia:data URI scheme|more info]].

== Screencapture ==

How do I get a screen capture in Ubuntu Linux?  --[[User:O98-111-114-113|Blow Up the Ocean]] 20:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:This may vary (it's been a while since I used Gnome), but I believe that alt-Print Screen grabs the focused window, and Print Screen by itself grabs the entire desktop.  It will either prompt you for a filename to save it as, or just save it automatically on your Desktop.  It will be in PNG format, which is probably want you want. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 21:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Test subtitles script and back button ==

I do a lot of subtitle work (the AIO makes it about a million times easier/possible, BTW :) ) and so I often use the "Test subtitles script" feature to preview my scripts before I save 'em.  The problem is that I usually forget to uncheck the box, so when I go to another toon, it displays the wrong subtitles.  Not a big deal, of course, as I can go into the options and uncheck the box, but it's an annoyance.  It'd be nice if it automatically unchecks the box.  Possibly make it uncheck when you load a different toon.  <br />
Also, if you have outside-the-frame action enabled and press the back/forward button (in the browser, not the next/previous button) to go to a page, it loads it full-screen instead of showing outside-the-frame action.  <br />
Oh and BTW I just noticed there's a feature to zoom in/out of the toon when it's full screened, but not when it shows outside-the-frame action.  Can you add that feature in outside-the-frame mode, too?
--[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]]</sup> 16:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:The "Test subtitles script" option needs some serious rework anyway... I'd like the "Refresh subtitles" button to Just Work, rather than the sort of inconsistent mess it is now. Being able to give test subtitles for just one specific toon is a good idea... I'll add it to the list of things to do when I get around to doing that.
:The back/forward buttons and outside-the-frame: I hadn't noticed that... I'll look into it. Does everything else work with back/forward?
:As for the zoom buttons and outside-the-frame, if you use the Zoom things in Flash, then it stops doing the outside-the-frame thing... you can't zoom out further than how it behaves when you view the SWF alone (ie: either the height or width matches the height or width of your window, whichever is smaller)... and there's no way to go back to the outside-the-frame mode except by resetting it to the usual outside-the-frame size. I couldn't find any way around this... so I just got rid of the zoom buttons when that option's turned on. If you happen to know of a workaround, I'd love to hear it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
::Ok, cool.  I don't mean that I really care to see toon-specific subs that are remembered with different pages, in case that's what you thought.  I just want it to be cleared when I go to a page besides the one being tested.
::I haven't noticed anything else wrong with back/forward.  I've noticed that when a page loads normally, it's momentarily enlarged to full screen before it's changed to show outside-the-frame, but that when you do back/forward it doesn't change.  Perhaps it's something with how FF tells scripts that the page has loaded when it comes in from memory (since it was in recent history) instead of loading for the first time.  I should probably also note that when it's zoomed out after going back/forward, I can still see outside-the-frame action, but of course since it's already full-screen, I only see it on the edges (instead of being like the normal full screen mode that puts black on the sides, this allows vision on the sides).
::Do you think you could make it so if it's already at the max zoom out level, instead of just trying to tell the SWF to zoom out more (unsuccessfully), make it refresh as outside-the-frame in some way so it goes back out?  Of course, that would preferably be without ''actually'' refreshing the page, so your place isn't lost like when you save a setting.  This could eliminate the need for an outside-the-frame option, since if you want to zoom out when it's already all the way out, it goes to outside-the-frame, while zooming in while viewing outside-the-frame would go to full screen.
::I just got an idea to fix the issue that when you save settings it refreshes the page (more of a workaround really, something that does it without refreshing at all would be better).  Let it refresh, but first remember the frame you're at and the pause/unpause status (is there anything else that would be needed to make it seem the same?) and set it to that once it refreshes. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]]<sup>[[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]]</sup> 01:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks and feature suggestion ==

Hey!  Thanks for making this script!  It really makes watching H*R much easier (and better)!
<br>I would like to suggest a feature - it would be great to have an automatic 'next' feature to play through a whole series (like SBemail) or to play random through the whole site.  This way we could watch sequential H*R without being near a mouse.

== Page-Overwrite? ==

It's been on my mind lately; would it be possible to get the script to overwrite the loaded Flash file on a page, or just replace the content of a page without creating security issues with Flash? In some cases, it could be helpful, as with being able to run subtitles on certain Puppet Stuff toons that don't have their own HTML page, like [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]]. We could use [[HR:default.html|default.html]] as a "dummy page", and using a URL referrer of "<code>overwrite=whateverflashhere.swf</code>" (which would be picked up by the script, not the page), would overwrite the page with your usual Homestar Runner toon-viewing code, with the Flash file in place of the usual "toon placeholder" itself?

I just noticed it today.  I used it and it worked fine the other day.  It seems that the script isn't finding the list of languages at [[Subtitles:Languages]] (the Subtitles Language select box doesn't have any entries).  I do have AdBlock Plus but disabled it temporarily with no change.  I'm using Firefox 3.0.11 with Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1 and the newest All-in-one script from [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey]] (3.2.7).  Perhaps it's related to "We will be making adjustments to the server throughout the evening, including upgrading to MediaWiki 1.15."?

:It's related to the [[HRWiki:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15|new upgrade]] and the move to the /wiki/ URLs... it should be fixed now. The script should automatically prompt you to update it sometime in the next day or so, or you can just hit the install link on [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|the script page]] to do it yourself. If you're still not getting subtitles, it could be because you hit the "Save" or "Clear cache" buttons in the config panel while the subtitles were broken... in that case, just open up the config panel, make sure that the "language" option is set, and hit save. That should bring them back. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

::I got it. I had to reinstall Greasemonkey, then update it, then reinstall the HR script.

== Some code for a more streamlined "Hide" ability ==

This is one way that crossed my mind. You'd have to replace the two lines in transcriptLoaded:

<pre>line.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(line);</pre>

With this:

<pre>var hideEnds = true;
for (var j = lines[i].firstChild; j; j = j.nextSibling)
{
	// Looks for a "hide" element, and divides the line into two if one is found.
	if(j.nodeType == j.ELEMENT_NODE && j.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "hide" && hideEnds)
	{
		// If no frame number is specified, make the last frame of hiding really big, so it never stops hiding
		var hideUntil = 100000;
		if(j.hasAttribute("frame"))
		{
			hideUntil = parseInt(j.getAttribute("frame"), 10);
			if(isNaN(hideUntil) && settings.TestSubs)
				transcriptError("Hide frame \"" + j.getAttribute("frame") + "\" is not a number");
		}
		if(hideUntil < line.start && settings.TestSubs)
		{
			transcriptError("Hide frame \"" + j.getAttribute("frame") + "\" is too early");
		}
		var firstLine = line;
		if(hideuntil < line.end)
		{
			firstLine.end = hideuntil;
		}
		else
		{
			hideEnds = false;
		}
		j.setNodeName("span");
		j.setAttribute("visibility", "hidden");
		firstLine.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
		transcript.push(firstLine);
		j.setAttribute("visibility", "visible");
		line.start = hideuntil;
	}
}
if(hideEnds)
{
	line.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
	transcript.push(line);
}</pre>

I'm kinda shaky on the programming language and its nuances, though. Especially "setNodeName", or whether "span" would work without a "/span" (or if adding a "/span" is possible). Also, it's very possible I made a mistake.

If it works, though, it should allow you to add <hide frame="123" /> and it would hide everything after it on a line until frame 123. You wouldn't have to put in multiple lines that way. Even a <hide/> tag should just simply hide everything else on the line, period (unless the toon becomes 100000+ frames in length AND the line comes after that point, but that hasn't happened yet and probably will never.)

Thoughts? Fixes? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

: PS. Another useful addition would be the ability to write overlapping lines separately and have them all display. Would be useful for when characters semi-interrupt or speak over one another. [[Crystal Fortress]]'s subs were a pain to write without this feature. I don't have code for it, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::Also for sound effects that are shorter than the dialogue, etc. Perhaps though it should be a different element called "<nowiki><overlap></nowiki>" with the same syntax as line, just to keep the error checking for people who don't intend to overlap lines. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:::That <hide> tag sounds like a good idea, that's definitely going on my todo list. Maybe not the way you describe, though... rather than just having the empty tag hide everything from here to the end of the line, have something like "<code>first part <hide frame="100">second part</hide></code>"... it'd make more sense, I think, and be easier to code up. Maybe it should have <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> attributes instead, so things can disappear instead of appearing? Optional, of course, so you can have just a <code>start</code> and no <code>end</code>, and have it behave like you describe.
:::As for overlapping lines, it's something that I've considered before, but never really looked into, as it could be kinda tricky. In particular, arranging the lines... if you have two lines at once, and the first one ends, you want the second one to stay on the second line, with a gap above it (it could move upwards, but that'd be confusing)... and then, if a third line starts, it'd make sense to put it in the gap above the second line... but it may not fit, if it's a long line that word-wraps, or has the <code>volume</code> attribute turned up, or something. So there's an optimisation problem there to arrange all the lines without it being so tall that it runs out of space. But I may be overthinking it here, and a greedy heuristic is probably enough. I'll try it, and see what happens.
:::But don't hold your breath for either of these... I can't guarantee how long they'll take to write... what with the full-time work and all, I'm often not in the mood for programming outside work... but we'll see. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:58, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::::We could create a <code>lineindex</code> attribute to fix that problem. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 14:21, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::Not really... maybe if every line was exactly the same height, it'd work, but that's not necessarily the case, with <code>volume</code> and word-wrap. Indeed, with word-wrap, the same line could be different heights on different computers, even with the same subtitles script. Much better to have a dynamic solution. It'd be less work for the transcribers that way anyway, which is kinda the point of this whole thing. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

:The script uses a bunch of GreaseMonkey-specific features, for things like saving the preferences or loading subtitles from the wiki.

:::Like I said, it would be a heck of a lot of work to retrofit the script to not depend on Greasemonkey. That includes stripping out the script so that only some features are available - all the different features are pretty interconnected at the moment, it's hard to remove just one of them. It's my long-term plan to clean up the script and make it simpler to manage, but that's been my long-term plan since before the subtitles thing started 3 years ago, and I still haven't even started, so don't hold your breath. And anyway, that "check if the next toon exists" thing is one of the things that depends on the GM API, so even if I could quickly strip down the features, I couldn't do that one easily.
:::However! You might have some luck with the original scripts that the all-in-one script was based on. I suspect that the [http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/633 Homestar Full-on] ''could'' work in other browsers that have userscript features... I haven't tried it, but it looks like it could work (it doesn't depend on GreaseMonkey, but it might implicitly depend on Firefox, that's harder to tell just by looking at the script). The [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar] bookmarklet might work, it might not. Try it and see.

== Chrome Now Can Install... but... ==

You need to install [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5166 from here] instead. Unfortunately, even though Chrome has the greasemonkey APIs, your extension, Philip, doesn't work. the only portion that DOES work is the flyout settings menu when looking at a homestarrunner.com page. None of the settings can actually be saved. You need a git or development version of chrome to be able to install the script I believe, and that's easily done on ubuntu using the chromium daily ppa from launchpad. However, as said by [http://blog.chromium.org/2010/02/40000-more-extensions.html this blog] about the new feature, you will most likely have to edit your script so it works with chrome. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, I know, both Chrome and Opera and a couple of other browsers have user script engines, but most of them don't have the power necessary to run this script (neither Opera nor Chrome for instance allow cross-site AJAX requests, which are required for subtitles, rando and check-for-updates) and even the features they do have, you need to use in a different way (eg Opera doesn't have the GM_* functions, so I'd need to re-write all the preference-saving and AJAX code using other APIs). This doesn't make it ''impossible'' to make a script this complicated that will work in all these browsers... but it means it'd be a ''lot'' of work to retrofit an existing script to work.
:tl;dr: Only Firefox is supported for the foreseeable future. Like I [[#Midori_Web_Browser|said to you before]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

:Huh, it doesn't do that for me... my computer isn't single-core, but using this script doesn't cause my usage to shoot up to a single core being fully used. It does increase the usage a bit, but not drastically... the main culprits being (a) View fullscreen - obviously, if Flash has to render a larger area, it's going to take more processing time; and (b) Seek bar/subtitles... these too mean asking the Flash object a bunch what frame it's up to... which means a lot more context switching between the browser and the plugin, and all the wrappers and whatnot that needs... which is either the fault of Flash or the plugin architecture, I'm not sure which. Anyways - if you try turning those options off, it should help with your CPU problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
::I've turned off fullscreen thing, nothing changed; I don't want to turn off subtitles, but I turned off the seek bar, it took up half my CPU alone. I really like the subtitles project, so I don't want that to go away. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

== Firefox 4.0 & JaegerMonkey ==

With [http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20004620-264.html Firefox 4.0] coming this year (or so it seems), they plan to implement "JaegerMonkey," a javaScript engine that rivals Safari's and Chrome's. The suffix -Monkey, sounds like it'll probably be replacing Greasemonkey or even forcing greasemonkey users to recompile their scripts all together. What do you plan to do if this happens? Keeping in mind that Firefox is the ONLY browser that works with your script, no other does. &mdash;[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]] 16:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
:I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I don't see anything to suggest JägerMonkey is going to supersede GreaseMonkey (it's more likely it got the -Monkey suffix from [[Wikipedia:SpiderMonkey (JavaScript engine)|SpiderMonkey]]). So I don't expect the changes to be that drastic (there's probably going to be new features the script could potentially use, but little in the way of old features disappearing). Also: yes, I get the fact that there's a couple of dozen browsers you've asked me to port the script to... I've made it clear that isn't going to happen. Being snarky isn't going to change that. Note the big GPL header at the top of the script - if you want it to work in Opera or Chrome or Midori or whateverthecrap other browser you're using this week, you're welcome to try to figure it out yourself. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

== Resizing option for recent toons ==

Hey, Phlip. The largest monitor I have is reasonably sized and yet can't show all of past two toons at their HTML'd resolution (at least in Firefox). I admire the screen-resizing option, but with an old laptop that can only do 1024&times;768 that struggles enough with Flash (The one I'm using right now, in fact. It runs Linux), I'd rather not have toons in the usual 550&times;400 resolution being scaled. Could there be an option so that users can downsize toons to their native resolution? After all, the newer toons were made in the usual 550&times;400, I've heard. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:20, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, could there be an option to set our preferred vertical resolution? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

== Firefox 4 zoom ==

I just noted that when I do the normal resize thing by holding down CTRL and using the scroll wheel in firefox 4, the homestar runner flash objects all are resized as well. Is this new to Firefox 4? Or was it already introduced into 3.6.x? I swear I wasn't able to do this previously. This probably should go somewhere else, but since I only really wanted the resize portion in this script, I may just forgo keeping greasemonkey. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 20:18, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
:It works as you describe in at least 3.6.13. Maybe you had "Zoom Text Only" checked. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

== "Do not play on load" option ==

I have another feature request, but it's more of a convenience than anything. Could we have the option to have the Flash paused on page load, instead of having it automatically play? This would help someone when they restore a browser session that has multiple tabs/windows on homestarrunner.com. In my case, I find myself going to a toon, and then adjusting my settings a few times to get it just right (or, in recent cases of one of my Linux machines, getting the Flash player to appear). The bad thing is that, after doing that, the very beginning of the toon is unpleasantly seared into my brain, after hearing it several times on several occasions. Please and thanks, {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig|nodash=nodash}} 19:53, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:Someone has told me about the Firefox extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bartab/ BarTab] for Firefox versions 4.0b6 and below, which doesn't automatically load tabs when a browser session is restored. Then I learned that Firefox 4 through 7 have had an option like this available as a hidden option; in Firefox 8 it will be available through the Preferences window. I guess my request is no more, seeing as I have other options. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 20:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
::Hahaha, what timing. Firefox 8 is out three days later. I did not see that coming. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 22:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

== Flipper broken ==

The flipper function (that turns the website upside down) is broken. Can you please either remove the function or mirror the flipper SWF on mrphlip.com? {{User:Dagoth/sig}} (I mean that it shows a 404'd error in place of the flipped page)
: I'll have a bit of a look, but I'm not sure it'd work to mirror the SWF... Flash tends to get tetchy about that sort of cross-domain nonsense. Anyway, I haven't really touched this script in some time, and unless the hiatus ends, I probably won't any time soon... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:48, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
:: Yeah, doesn't work. I've disabled the flipper in the script... I didn't bother to set the "updated" flag, though, so it won't get sent out through the update notification thing... no need to alert people to have to pick this up just because a feature's getting removed. If you feel the need to have the non-working option disappear from your options, though, you can just click the "install the script" link on the page here. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

== Chromified All-In-One Prototype ==
Update: It's highly recommended to either use the CRX, or the original script with Tampermonkey, like DeFender mentioned. I might add this to the Chrome App Store, but I'd like to make sure it's mostly bug-free, first.
Downlods:
* Chrome CRX (adds button to toolbar instead of in-window): http://cl.ly/QlpQ/HRAIO.crx
* Chrome CRX source: http://cl.ly/Qlse/HRAIO.zip
* Tampermonkey: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en
<del>I modified the userscript to work with Chrome (I have version 28.0.1500.95). It's a bit of a hack, but hey-- it works for the most part!
I tested the basics, if anyone wants to test it, download it here: http://cl.ly/QkAX/allinone.user.js</del>
To install:
  1. Download the file (it'll likely complain that you can only use the Chrome App Store, ignore it because it's downloaded anyway)
  2. Go to your Downloads folder and find HRAIO.crx
  3. Open the URL chrome://extensions in Chrome and drag and drop the HRAIO.crx into that window.
  4. Click Accept/OK/Sure/whatever it says when it asks about security to install it.

:Phlip's original script works (almost) perfectly fine with [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en tampermonkey] installed.

:::Hmm... try this:<pre>prevButton.style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";</pre>should fix the wrapping, though I haven't tested it. As for the subtitles, it looks like you're still using GM_xmlHttpRequest to fetch those, so presumably you have something set up that lets you do that... I doubt Chrome has that builtin (and what it does have builtin wouldn't let you make a replacement, since it's cross-site and all). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:09, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
:::: That bit of code worked out! Although, I'm kinda confused on why Chrome would decide to wrap a button. With the subtitles, I honestly don't know what in my version of Chrome is making it work. Even with only the All-in-one extension added, it works. I tried looking it up and it seems to be implied that it was broken on version 27, but it works on 28 (which is odd in the first place because GM_ is GreaseMonkey, not Chrome), as referenced by [https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=242890 this issue in the bugtracker].

OK, I've put up a bandaid fix that gets the script working again in Greasemonkey 4.

Additional info: if I got back to the previous version, it works just fine, once I change the @match URLs as above.

I can't edit the version in the Chrome store without a bunch of hassle.) --{{User:Trlkly/sig}} 00:51, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
:Yeah, I know there can be some subtle differences between Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey (I have some other scripts I maintain that have to work in both). I haven't really put that effort in here since the Chrome Web Store version exists. But I do know TM is compatible with GM3 not GM4. But then, the script should work with either GM3 or GM4? I dunno.

Bad news: I can't get the HTTPS pages working in the Chrome extension proper for now... because the calls to the Wiki to download subtitles etc are blocked as mixed content, and the workaround for that means doing something more fancy with the Chrome stuff than just stuffing a Greasemonkey script inside a CRX and going to town.

Will you update Homestar All-in-One for Ruffle?
:From what I've found, poking around in Ruffle so far, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the external API needed to interface with a script like this... there doesn't seem to be a call to get where the movie is currently playing, for instance, which would make things like the seekbar and the subtitles impossible. I'll keep an eye on their developments, but currently it's not really an option. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
::Not so quick question: is the external API that this script needs part of [https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/issues/310 AVM1] or [https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/issues/1368 AVM2/AS3]? (Or "Yes", or neither?)  Is it possible to tell if one or more issues have been raised for this external API from the two master issues linked? (Sorry I'm still a little hazy on the difference between AVM0/1/2 and ActionScript and whatever else constitutes as part of the Flash architecture.) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:57, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
:::It's not really the same thing... those ActionScript whatevers all deal with the scripts that are running ''inside'' the SWF. So, like, what all the games are implemented in, all the buttons and clickable Easter eggs, and whatnot. They're internal APIs inside the Flash object. What I'm looking at is an external API exposed by the Flash plugin to the host... for our purposes, that means JavaScript in the surrounding page (or JavaScript which has been injected into the page by a plugin like GM). It resembles the AS1 api, but it has some subtle differences, and it's really a different beast. I'm not sure it's even on Ruffle's radar at this point (and it would probably be quite low on the priority ladder if it is). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:05, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Gh0sti (1/6/2020): Flashpoint a project to grant everyone access to everything that is of flash content, games and animation. Flashpoint does have a fork of firefox called basalisk that can run extensions like greasemonkey. Somehow greasemonkey can be enabled I just need to get that extension working within the app and see if the script can load. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/
:I spent most of today attempting to revitalize the All-in-One extension with my limited programming ability... No luck there, but I did find that (according to the [https://ruffle.rs/blog/2024/09/12/optimisations-text-more September 2024 Ruffle blog post]) work is being done on stabilizing JavaScript API and making a [https://ruffle.rs/js-docs/master/index.html ruffle-core] package that contains the public API. I assume that would allow interaction between the SWF and an external script (for stuff like subtitles and the seek bar)? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 06:28, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:Per the discussion [[#Yo|above]], the last time I checked into the Ruffle project, it didn't provide the hooks needed for an external tool like the subtitles to work properly.

I looked on ruffle.rs and the table explains that ActionScript 1 and ActionScript 2 both have 95% of Language and 73% of API. ActionScript 3 is now supported. It does however have 60% of Language and 59% of API. ActionScript 3 should be fully supported around a few months later. - 108.200.101.195
