I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui’s and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet…

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    That’s extremely useful to know about yt-dlp.

    I’ve only ever used it to download videos permanently fire offline viewing when traveling. I never knew it could work as a temp cache as well.

    I’ll probably make a comment linking comments here with good solutions soon.

    Ask that’s left is to figure out a decent IPTV program. Really liked Hypnotix but it seems it’s just too much for the Pi

        I didn’t know VLC worked with IPTV. I’m guessing through plug in?

        VLC was giving me issues too when playing video as well though, but only on some distros

          I got the directions from iptv-orgs github

          1. open up vlc media player or in theory any.
          2. select the media tab in top left, navigate to ‘open network stream’
          3. paste this url in

          https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u

          Note: No video will play. This is to import the playlist of iptv streams.

          1. Open vlc’s playlist viewer with ctrl+L or right click > view > playlist You should see a bunch of IPTV streams probably in all sorts of languages since this is the main global playlist. Go to search bar located top right to search playlist for the stream you want. I live in us so I searched for Fox News based around my states capital. You can look for a more specific iptv-org playlist for your language and stuff.

          Note: when commercial breaks happen it just shows a still frame. If nothing is playing right away try waiting a few minutes.
