I’ll start by saying that I really love Tube Archivist. It works flawlessly in doing what it does (archiving YouTube videos), and the UI and UX are great.
However, no matter what browser I use (Edge, FF, Opera, Samsung mobile, FF mobile, etc…), I run into issues where the video will play, but the interface freezes… I can’t do anything on the screen until I refresh.
I don’t have it set to any strange codecs, so videos are in vp9. But I also tried a few different codecs to see if the quality/size could be better optimized, and had the same issues with freezing UI then.
If I run the videos through Jellyfin, they work fine. It’s only through the TA web interface where things lock up.
Is this normal? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working better?
I use it a lot and it never froze as far as I know
Which browser?
And do you usually just set the video to play and leave it, or are you pausing a lot?
If I just play a video, I don’t notice the problem. But if I’m watching an instructional video and need to rewind, pause, etc., then it’s really apparent that it froze up.
Firefox, and yes I pause often during big videos, i don’t rewind much tho
I wonder what heck is going on, then.
I’ve used multiple computers with FF, and it happens on all of them. Granted, this problem happens no matter what browser I use, so I know it’s not a FF problem.
