Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!

Edge was a bit choppy when zooming in, but nothing bad when panning…
That’s interesting. Edge (and Opera) in G Earth are 100% smooth at my monitor’s max refresh rate (60 fps).
Thanks for that. I’ve got a Framework laptop, and just looking at their support community, it seems like Firefox has not been playing well for quite a few people, with many citing “choppy” performance, so I’ll have a look what they’ve discovered.
I have run both Google Earth and Google Maps in Firefox on Windows since forever and it has allways been fine.
Yes, they both work (no issues with Gmaps from what I recall), but try Google Earth on Edge and tell me if it’s any smoother. To me, it’s so dramatic that you simply can’t ignore it.
Yes, GPU is active and even confirmed through the Windows Task Manager. I’ve added more details to my OP.
I’ve confirmed that the GPU is being used (through Firefox and through the Windows Task Manager). On a fresh FF profile, I’m getting the same slow performance out of Google Earth.
I’m putting more details in my OP.
I know, I’ve tried Linux. Many times. I tend to break linux without any way for me to fix it. So I always come back to Windows.
It’s like an abusive relationship that I can’t leave. LOL
You can check if hardware acceleration is working by going to “about:support” and checking the “composite” line. If it says Web Render (without software written there in brackets) it’s hardware accelerated. I
It does say “Compositing WebRender”.
I’m going to try a fresh profile to see if that happens. I do have the same issue on multiple PCs (all windows), so I must be doing something that’s creating this issue on all my installs.
Thanks for trying! Google Earth is running my max refresh rate in Edge, but it’s painfully slow on FF. If it’s working for you, then I know there’s hope!
I’m on Windows, unfortunately, so that’s one variable I can’t change. I’ll consider that config, though!
Other thing could be how much you use each browser, how many tabs you have open when you tried them? How many extensions? What other programs did you have open?
It doesn’t make a difference, even with a barebone configuration. That’s kind of why I have Librewolf available, so it’s separate from the config I have with my main FF profile.
I was afraid that might be the case. It certainly seems like that. I’m blown away by how much faster Edge is compared to FF. Google Earth seems to run at 60fps (max refresh rate of my monitor) in Edge and like 15fps in FF… if I’m lucky.
That’s an out-of-the-box idea, but I just tried it with the Windows/Edge and then Windows/Chrome setting, and Google earth spit up an error about the browser not being compatible, but I can try anyway (didn’t load), or it simply didn’t load (forever loading).
That would have been an interesting “fix”!
I use Rustdesk for 99% of my remote desktop needs (RealVNC only for my Raspberry Pi).
I will add that self-hosting Rustdesk makes it reliable and fast. When I use the public servers, it was not a good experience.
I’m running it off my Synology NAS through docker.
My wife is using Smarttube on a TV that has one of there Chromecast dongles, but our main LG TV doesn’t have that option.
I’ve been using FreeTube through Windows on a MiniPC, but it’s not an elegant solution. LOL It does work, though.
I’m using pinchflat
Well. I just installed it and the folder/file structure is definitely better! Now I have to figure out how to get Jellyfin to “see” the download directory. LOL
Thanks for pointing me to another solution.
EDIT: Got that sorted out. Goddamn, it just works! Thank you!
do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions?
Well, if I can get it working, I would much rather be watching via Jellyfin on my TV and not whatever crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving Youtube app I’m forced to use.
But realistically, I want to keep some how-to / maintenance videos archived, because I’ve lost track of how many times they went “private” and can’t be accessed anymore. Some really niche product use/maintenance videos tend to disappear.
I have no real interest in data hoarding vlogs or other crap. Just informational stuff.
Yes, that’s the first one I tried.
Maybe I’ll keep trying, but I don’t want to commit to tube archivist until it plays nice with jellyfin. 🤞
I appreciate that! Thanks.
I’d rather update anything that’s old, as long as it stays on the same OS version (Bullseye and not Bookworm).
With newer versions of Raspian or any version of Linux, there seems to be a software update GUI that makes this pretty easy, but I’m taking stabs in the dark with this legacy version.
Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.
Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I’m not sure). I’ve got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it’s been reliable.
I do also use Linkwarden, but that’s more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn’t rely on the page still being live to work.
Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.
