You tube sucks
    #21397185 - 03/12/15 11:35 AM (9 years, 2 months ago)

It's so fucking slow, I don't even try to look at clips posted here anymore. I just tried to watch a clip of 5min and it took me 20min. It loads only like 2min and than stalls, even if it does load the clip miraculously completely, if I drag the slider to another mark it has to reload again or I get the message "clip temp unavailable" wtf. I have no problems with other sites like streaming series or movies, those load immediately. I don't even have to press pause to let them load they just work.
Is youtube against me, is it because I'm on a linux machine or am I missing something?

I think it's just you. Either your internet connection or your system. I use youtube everyday and watch full documentaries without a problem. I never have to pause it and let it load. It just loads automatically and very quickly. I can even watch videos on HD and it still loads perfectly fine. Sorry to hear you're having trouble dude  :shrug:

yeah. my youtube has no adds because of firefox+adblock, and i can watch videos in 720/1080p without buffering. and my connection is pretty average, i torrent at 2mb/s max. its definately your system/internet connection

Yeah it's always me, my mother had a child and it was also me.
Could be my system, don't think it's my connection as I have no problems with other sites. I also don't have a youtube account so I never log into youtube. Could that be the reason?

theres your problem  :shrug: you probably live in a bad area for internet connections.

mine is 29.76 download/ 5.82 upload. and i have the basic package for my area. maybe i have a better connection than i though :shrug: but other people in my area can do 40mbps with theirs. but they pay more

That doesnt bother me, what bothers me is mother fuckers like techrax who destroy $10,000 iphones plated with gold earn over 700,000 A YEAR. faggots like pewsuckmydickpie are millionaires cuz lil fucking slimy toddlers no life his videos. He has no talent he brings nothing to the world, neither do, but destruction of technology and brain-cells.

Yes, you should be using smtube because the youtube website is utter shit. :smile:

Smtube is extremely fast at browsing youtube, the search is just as functional, it allows you to open the videos straight to mplayer, mpv or smplayer and also save the videos in a variety of formats if you wish.  W/e distro you are using probably has it in the repo already, otherwise you can get it here.  http://smtube.sourceforge.net/

Yea, I wish I could just copy/paste the links for embedded videos without going to youtube and then watch them with mpv.  Or better yet I wish it was possible to embed mpv into firefox and watch videos with that....  You may get improved performance if you start blocking everything you don't need with a combination of request policy and noscript.  Assuming you are using firefox, you could also look into fasterfox (Not fasterfox-lite), better privacy and flashblock.

I'm using qupzilla as a browser now, firefox slows down my laptop too much and doesn't help with youtube. but smtube seems to be dooing a good job. Now just trying to figure out how to use mplayer instead of vlc.
Edit: I mean parole player instead of vlc

I think smplayer is the best gui player now, the last update really overcame the difference with smplayer2 and vlc has  been rather bloated and non-functional for me.  You don't really need anything more than mpv (An active fork for mplayer) to watch videos.  You just need to type 'mpv /path/to/video/file', with the right dependencies met youtube links will work too.  It can be configged in ~/.mpv/config the same way as mplayer.  Here is my config for reference.

Code:
$ cat .mpv/config 
vo=x11,opengl
hwdec=vdpau
cache=100000
softvol-max=1000
af=scaletempo
video-aspect=16:9
quvi-format=fmt05_240p



Some of those options may be old...

I'll have a look at that.
But I just installed mplayer without a gui and it's working great with smtube :woot:
