Yup, it's related.

yes to bothGiorgio Maone wrote:Poll:Asking because it might be a conflict between the new signature sniffing code and NoScript's load deferral/redirection machinery.
- are you all using NoScript too?
- Does disabling NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE make the problem disappear?

Re: Conflict with NoScript resulting Youtube odd behaviour
I can also confirm that the issue is related to NoScript, the problem goes away after disabling ABE in NoScript.
Took me a while to narrow down why my bandwidth was still active even though I wasn't downloading anything, thought I had a virus at first.
Hope it gets fixed soon.

Re: Conflict with NoScript resulting Youtube odd behaviour
Please check whether the problem persist in latest development build 1.5.5.9rc1.
If it does, please include in your report detailed step-by-step instruction to consistently reproduce AND observe the extra downloads, thank you.

Re: FG downloads all detected streams for youtube videos
Does 1.5.5.9rc1 have a fix for this? The changelog does not appear to mention it.
Is there an option to disable speculative requests and only do it on demand?

Maybe, tentatively (that's why it's not mentioned in the changelog), because I couldn't actually reproduce.al_9x wrote:Does 1.5.5.9rc1 have a fix for this?
I'm not sure about the "speculative requests" you want to block, but the flashgot.media.YouTube.autodetect preference disables any Youtube parsing attempt.al_9x wrote: Is there an option to disable speculative requests and only do it on demand?

Re: FG downloads all detected streams for youtube videos
"speculative" is typically used to describe unsolicited pre-fetch dns/http requests. Such things should be optional. What do you mean by "parsing"? If it means turning off media url detection from existing page, that's going too far. The idea is for any additional connections to be done only on demand when the user indicates via the ui the intent to download.Giorgio Maone wrote:Maybe, tentatively (that's why it's not mentioned in the changelog), because I couldn't actually reproduce.al_9x wrote:Does 1.5.5.9rc1 have a fix for this?I'm not sure about the "speculative requests" you want to block, but the flashgot.media.YouTube.autodetect preference disables any Youtube parsing attempt.al_9x wrote: Is there an option to disable speculative requests and only do it on demand?

Re: FG downloads all detected streams for youtube videos
problem still present in 1.5.5.9rc1
xp sp3, Fx 23.0.1, new profile + FG + NS, block flash on trusted
does not happen always, to repro I open http://www.youtube.com/user/Google/videos and open videos in new tabs until it happens, ~3 attempts

The extra requests are the bae minimum needed to build and show the FlashGot Media UI in the very specific and complex Youtube case.
On a side note, could you tell me whether the issue this topic is about seems to be fixed, or otherwise give me a reproducible minimal test case?

Re: FG downloads all detected streams for youtube videos
There's an additional problem I noticed which started with Fg 1.5.5.7 and is still present with 1.5.5.9rc1, occasionally, as I am opening background video tabs (one at a time), one ends up without a placeholder, just has a black rectangle.
When (and only when) this happens the following error is logged
here's the code on the page that fails:

Re: FG downloads all detected streams for youtube videos
These extra requests are what I am referring to. They should be done (optionally) only on demand. If one does not intend to download the video, they are not necessary and so should be optionalGiorgio Maone wrote: The extra requests are the bae minimum needed to build and show the FlashGot Media UI in the very specific and complex Youtube case.

Re: Conflict with NoScript resulting Youtube odd behaviour
Sadly for me the issue continues with the devbuild.
Ok so I have a very basic setup.
I created a new Firefox profile with just Flashgot v 1.5.5.9rc1 and Noscript 2.6.7.1, nothing else.
I'm using Firefox 23.0.1
I notice the issue only when I play a Youtube video, (can't tell you if it happens with any other video site.)
I go to Youtube, play any video and instantly notice a low buffering speed, I get annoyed and navigate away from the video to the home page or any other site, but my internet keeps downloading at full speed.
I have a bandwidth monitor software called Networx that shows my download speed taking my whole bandwidth. I guess it helps that I have only 1Mbps so a drop in speed is more noticeable. At this point if I try to download anything it downloads at half or third my speed.
The issue stops only when I restart or close my browser. And starts again when I play a Youtube video.
And as I mentioned if I disable ABE in NoScript the issue stops altogether.
Hope this helps.

Re: FG downloads all detected streams for youtube videos
Your spam filter won't allow a detailed report from me.
I've pmd it.
summary: the latest dev version hasn't stopped the bad behaviour in some but not all youtube videos.
EDIT: used FG latest development version and NS latest development version as at about an hour ago.

Re: Conflict with NoScript resulting Youtube odd behaviour
Same result here as described by galgamesh.
Using Palemoon 24 and Firefox 23.01, new profile, only with Flashgot 1.5.5.9rc1 and NoScript 2.6.7.1. Checking bandwidth using Network Meter gadget.

Unless what you're reporting is different (doesn't seem to be), it would make sense to keep it in one thread.
