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

      have you tried VLC? It works with IPTV if I am remembering right.

        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

          How to play IPTV using iptv-org playlist and VLC

          More directions at iptv-orgs github

          1. open up VLC (and most other media players)
          2. select the media tab in top left, navigate to ‘open network stream’
          3. paste this URL: https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u to import the global playlist of all iptv-org streams
          4. Open vlc’s playlist viewer with ctrl+L or right click > view > playlist

          You should see a bunch of IPTV streams to choose from. Go to search bar located top right to search playlist for the stream you want. You can look for a more specific iptv-org playlist for your language and stuff. when commercial breaks happen it just shows a still frame. If nothing is playing right away try waiting a few minutes.

          I hope all this has helped you out, Lumisal. I updated the formatting on my comments to closer resemble a guide in case you decide to link them in the future. Enjoy your open and energy efficient computing!
