A number of years ago, it became popular to alter your user agent string in various ways to get what you wanted. However, those sites are not the ones anyone is complaining about here.īut so far we are only talking about sites which (mostly) follow the rules. However, I’ve never seen such an extension for Safari and I expect Apple wouldn’t actually allow such an extension.Īs and explain, other sites will ignore the User Agent string completely and provide the same responsive site to everyone, in which case the layout is affected only by the size and orientation of the viewport. In some browsers you have been able to get extensions which alter the User agent String to trick sites into returning a different version of their site. When they see iPad OS, they will serve up their mobile site, ignoring your preference. Therefore, some sites will ignore the presence (or lack thereof) of the “Mobile” string and simply look at the platform. ![]() However, it still lists iPad OS as the platform. When you have the Request Desktop Site option enabled, all Safari does is not include “Mobile” in the string. Mobile browsers will include “Mobile” in the string to indicate that they should be sent the mobile version of the site. That string will identify the browser, version, platform (operating system), etc. With each request, your browser sends a user agent string in the request headers. Thanks, suppose it might be possible to fool the server into thinking your screen is a different size and resolution than it is, but I think Apple might have to build that functionality in (or maybe a browser maker can do it? Not sure). This makes a lot of sense to me, and solves the long running mystery of why it doesn’t always work to request a desktop site. You’re getting the only version there is for the screen you’re using. ![]() So sidebars hide or show or flow to different places depending on the screen – and there is no separate “desktop” version to provide when you request it. These sites are set up in such a way that they rearrange themselves based on the size, resolution and shape of your screen. Some sites have a single version, with a “responsive” layout and structure. Then requesting the desktop version gives you the “wrong” version, as you request, by misleading the server into thinking you’re using a desktop browser rather than a mobile browser. If they detects mobile browser they give you that version, and vice versa. Some sites have separate mobile and desktop versions. I haven't tried, but I just copy URL from safari and it automatically shows up in the URL window of PlayerXtreme.Īgain, it's free right now, but the ability to quickly/easily crop just the snippet you want, save and then export to AudioShare would be worth paying for to me.If I understand correctly, they may not be trying to force you to do anything. But can you search from within PlayerX? Or do you need to know the URL beforehand?Īnd now I have "we will sell no wine before its time" looping in my said:Īnd now I have "we will sell no wine before its time" looping in my mind. ![]() That sounds really promising, especially the cropping BEFORE downloading. However, if I simply hit the PlayerXtreme crop tool, designate the specific few seconds I want, I can then save that cropped clip and that WILL open in AudioShare. Wasn't able to download via URL (using ) even though I know you can just download the video direct, just wanted to see if it worked via PlayerXtreme. m4a that opened with a flat line in AS, but I tried again by downloading the mp3 version and it worked fine. Oh cool, glad it is still working as there have been a couple updates now and I have not tried it lately.Īs for old timey public domain stuff, you can check to see if it is on, which is a great source for such things.
