I too use torrents if possiblez but sometimes, the movie we seek maynot be available or won't have enough seeders. Sites like this, and others mentioned in fmhy are useful at those times.

For people who worry about Youtube buffering/skipping issues, it's fixed in Firefox 129, wait for Firefox 127.0.2 (bugzilla.mozilla.org)
 

And this is 100% Youtube's fault, not Firefox's fault, they created this issue:

This problem is triggered by bad muxed VP9 bytestream served by Youtube, so it's not a regression on our side, this issue can also be reproduced on old versions Firefox. Usually when muxing a video bytestream, the video samples' timestamp should be monotonizally increasing and no overlap between samples. But there are some bad video samples in YT's bytesteam, they overlapped with the previous sample. Eg. [124416000, 125126000] and [125125000, 131382000]. The next one should start from 12516000 instead of starting from 125125000 causing an overlapping.

That overlapped sample triggers this and our WebM demuxer fails to calculate the next timestamp in that situation. The end time of video sample was set to the same as the sample's start time, and that causes a gap being detected for the next sample, resulting in resetting append state. When doing so, mNeedRandomAccessPoint would be set to true and that triggers the sample skipping mechanism per the spec.

Therefore, there would be many sample being incorrectly skipped and won't be added into the buffered range. When entering the buffering state, Firefox would be waiting those sample which has been skipped but Youtube thought that those samples were already appended. That makes the endless buffering happened.

what's your current linux distro? in c/[email protected]

I used to be on pure Arch for 2.5 years, but currently uses cachyOS. And its so much removes the pain points of arch, as well as giving super fast performance.

CachyOS June 2024 release brings T2 Macbook support ,555 driver and much more in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Most of the speed is due to them compiling packages with the x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 instruction set and LTO.

That means the CPU need to be little newer to take advantage of, too

Upgraded add-on signatures required for Firefox 127 (lemdro.id)
 

Greetings from the Mozilla Add-ons team!

Mozilla has upgraded the signing for Firefox extensions, themes, dictionaries, and language packs to provide a stronger signature for a more secure add-ons ecosystem. This upgrade may impact add-on versions uploaded to https://addons.mozilla.org (AMO) differently depending on the date they were uploaded and whether they are self-distributed or distributed via AMO. Please see below for which add-ons will be affected.

For developers of add-on versions hosted on AMO that were uploaded prior to April 5, 2019.

  • No action will be required; the most recent public version of your add-on will be re-signed automatically April 25, 2024 resulting in a version bump

  • Developers will receive a confirmation email once the auto re-signing of their add-on is complete

For developers of add-on versions self-distributed that were uploaded prior to April 5, 2019.

  • Action will be required as Mozilla is not able to automatically re-sign unlisted versions since the distribution is controlled by the developer and thus the AMO team cannot determine which version(s) to re-sign

  • Action required: To continue to distribute any self-hosted versions uploaded to AMO prior to Apr 5, 2019, developers will need to submit new versions to AMO.

Self-distributed add-on versions that are not re-submitted by Apr 15 will no longer be installable on any version of Firefox 127: Nightly (Apr 15), Beta (May 13) or Release (Jun 11). Add-ons installed prior to Firefox 127 will continue to work for now, but we ask that you encourage your users to upgrade to the new, re-signed version of your add-on once you have re-submitted it to AMO. Any previous versions that are no longer in use do not need to be re-submitted to AMO.

Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions.

Regards,

Mozilla Add-ons team

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (5 children)

there are many interesting one's for me this issue, mainly :

  • Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
  • In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
  • Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
  • Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
  • CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

The slowness with libretube mostly origin from the server/instance you selected ( i am not sure though ). Maybe try a different instance ?
