To those using Tube Archivist, does it often freeze for you too?

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

Showroom7561 OP ,

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

Showroom7561 OP ,

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.

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 😅

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

Showroom7561 OP ,

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.
