To those using Tube Archivist, does it often freeze for you too? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Doesn't freeze for me, what sort of hardware are you running it on?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Synology DS920+ as a docker container.

The freezing doesn't happen all the time, but often enough that I needed to ask! LOL

Just to reiterate, the video will continue to play, but the actual interface is frozen, so I can't pause or change the volume. A page refresh fixes the problem, sometimes for the remainder of the video, or for less than a minute. It's totally random.

Weird for the UI to be crashing, it's all javascript, once it's loaded in your browser it's loaded. Are there any extensions that are causing issues? Anything in the browser console? Network calls hanging?

Are there any extensions that are causing issues?

Very doubtful, as I've tried this on vanilla installations of various browsers.

Anything in the browser console?

Now that I check, I do see some DOM exception errors in the console, which seems to happen when the UI freezes.

The errors come up after I'm able to interact with the UI (video remains playing throughout):

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.

This might be the first place I should look to find a solution.
