Yeah, the weird filenames bothers me, too. It does take a hit to data portability, for sure. I’m not using it for some kind of long-term, bomb-proof YouTube archiving, but more to have offline access to instructional videos I might need in the near future. For that, the UI and integration with Jellyfin works well for me.
If I was actually collecting youtube videos, I would go with something else that generates human-friendly folders and filenames! I’ll bookmark Tubesync :)
I’m using Tube Archivist. Works great, too.
“Made simple”, but it’s all command prompt with no UI 🙂
Not knocking it, as I’m sure it works great, but these things end up being a huge barrier to adoption and use by the regular people who might be “self-hosted curious”.
I can honestly say that I haven’t had to reformat a windows PC since the early 2000s because of a problem that couldn’t easily be solved.
Even a BSOD is exceedingly rare.
Stability has been excellent, but the threat of advertisement creep is beginning to annoy me.
It’s Google.
I’m certain that “Common violations” = “competes with our own products”.
For sure, but when every problem has 100 potential fixes, I no longer have time to experiment with trying to fix them.
Every fix in Linux seems like a hack that requires extensive terminal knowledge of small, random patches that seem to be strewn all over the internet.
Every fix in windows is usually self contained, and you just need to know where to look to access it.
In my teens, I would have loved the challenge to mess with Linux. But I have no desire to do that now.
I will get the itch from time to time to try a new liveUSB distro, and if Microsoft angers or annoys me enough, I might just stick with Linux.
My parents had a console that had knobs for the controls. I remember pong and hockey, but it had other games, too. I’m 99% sure it was a Sears Tele-Game system.
Some of my friends had Atari consoles (with stick controllers), but my first console was an NES, followed by a Game Boy (which I still have).
As a long time Windows user (~30 years), it comes down to “can I fix this if something goes wrong?”. This applies even more so when I’m talking about a computer that my wife might be using.
99.9% of the time, the answer is “yes” when it comes to windows.
Every time I’ve tried Linux, some experience breaking issue comes up within hours/days of starting it up, and I simply don’t have time to troubleshoot it.
No matter how “stable” and “easy” someone claims Linux to be, I’ve never had a stable or easy experience in the last 20 years of trying to use Linux. I hate that fact, but that is a fact for me.
I will try, but on a whim I just created a new user in linkwarden and that seems to be generating my selected profiles. I’ll wait until I can try 2.7.x before I gather data for a report.
Looking forward to this new build. Since the last update, none of my links generate Preserved Formats, which makes the service useless. Hopefully, this is fixed.
Ah, another thing to install on my Synology NAS! LOL Thanks for sharing that.
And priced for the average human! Wow.
Damn, if I didn’t need the fitness tracking support of my Garmin watch, I’d be all over that!
I held onto my Pebble for so long, wearing it from launch until about a year ago, where I got a Garmin Smartwatch.
So many things I loved about it, especially its simplicity and legendary battery life (at that time).
How does one actually enable Full Page Copy? I don’t see any specific options to enable it in the preserved formats, and I tested two captures, and none had captured the page in HTML.
Using it via docker, if that makes a difference. Confirmed that v2.6 is being used.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Can you confirm that there are no spaces before or after the key on the client end? Sometimes, copy and pasting can add extra spaces that cause invalid passwords, etc.
I’m not having issues running my self-hosted Rustdesk (docker) externally, but I can’t offer much more than that :(
