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?

I haven't run in to any freezing issues either. It sounds like it might be a network issue, do you access the service over your local network or by external DNS?

Not to hijack your post, but do you use tubearchivist-jf-plugin for getting metadata in to jellyfin? I cannot seem to get that plugin to function on my set up for some reason which makes it very hard to view the tubearchivist library on jellyfin 😢

Man, I went through several Jellyfin metadata plugins with issues. But that one did work "suddenly", and I don't recall any specific steps taken to get it working.

I posted about this months ago as I really wanted TA working with Jellyfin.

Interesting, yeah I did see in the github issues that Jellyfin itself was a bit unpredictable in triggering the right information requests from the plugin and that it may suddenly start working just because Jellyfin finally fired off correctly. I guess I'll just be patient 😅

Yeah, I think it really could have just been that. I had issues with titles looking OK, but the descriptions were gibberish. It made it impossible to really use. Then it suddenly worked, and it's been fine ever since. LOL
