  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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!
