HTMLTexture status update

Elias · March 20, 2013, 2:49pm

in the last couple of days i addressed a few issues regarding the HTMLTexture node. here’s a list of changes:

crashed when doing fast url switching (see here): fixed by blocking until internal used CEF browser object (used by each slice of a renderer) is created.
crashed when decreasing the width/height inputs (see HTMLTexture bugs driving me crazy - bug - Forum fixed by doing an intersect for each dirty rectangle reported by cef before writing to the texture.
crashed when setting new “Update DOM” pin to true: should be fixed by new blocking behaviour in constructor.
fixed various issues in CefXmlReader (used to translate CefDom to XDocument/XElement).
updated bindings to latest released CEF 1.1364.1123 (see official website for a complete list of changes)

now here come a few reported issues i couldn’t fix:

HTMLTexture bug (possibly some event wrongly handled) - bug - Forum - cef binaries crash too. as they droppped support for audio/video tags in CEF 1 i think only way out would be to switch to CEF 3.
No delete on HTML Texture - bug - Forum - that one is driving me nuts. i spent a whole day trying to figure it out but sadly with no luck.
HTMLTexture & dropdown bug - bug - Forum - would need to provide the offscreen browser with a window handle, but which one?

and here comes a list of feature requests i didn’t have time yet to address:

revision of new alpha build containing these changes is: 4e55ee7da0 (being built in the moment of writing this)
