Hi calciumsodium,
open video driver is terrible on my NVidia card. Needs Tesla 470.
My netbook should run well with it though, way electricity pricing
is going I will be using that a lot soon. or starving :-(.

Present German government looks after the rich and makes poor suffer more,
every day new taxes and levys come along. If this continues the danger of
desperate citizens protesting gets higher. As the police are likely to escalate
any such protest to maximum the danger of violence, possibly riots is very high

During my recent reinstall I changed over to ytdlp and setup latest
tongue breaker, ytfzf, I aliased it to yt ages ago. Latest versions were
not available direct from repo. Posted a way to pull and install them.
A couple of days later the updates reached repos.

Will give the config a spin on a weaker machine, on this one I am running
a full monty rescaling debanding etc from subluminal, it gives incredibaly
improved output quality but needs plenty of processing power.

Hi @ModdIt,
I have extensively tested this ytdlautoformat.lua config file that I posted. It works on the oldest of equipment to the newer i5 computers (the newest equipment I have). It is robust and it is very simple. I have this configuration on all my antiX setups, antiX19 and antiX21. I think other members in the antiX forum also use this method. You can add other domains in the Streamsource section. I mostly watch youtube.
But mostly, I change the changeQuality resolution section. I found that 360 or 480 is the best compromise between resolution and download speed. On my oldest equipment, I had to go all the way down to 144 resolution.
It automatically finds the best video output for your hardware. It starts with gpu output. It that is not available for your hardware, it tries the next one.
Good luck.
BTW, thanks for all your updates on ungoogled chromium. I follow that thread too.

UPDATE: In order to update the Linux-libre kernel, there’s a good discussion on this thread: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/updating-the-jxself-gnu-linux-libre-kernel/

Andy the developer of the Linux-libre kernels, Jason Self, has changed the gpg key he uses to sign the kernels recently. He has given instructions on upgrading the gpg key and the version of your Linux-libre here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/package-linux-libre-being-kept-back

His instructions basically boil down to running ‘sudo apt update’ and ‘sudo apt full-upgrade’ to get the new gpg key and to be able to upgrade your Linux-libre kernel. If you have any trouble upgrading a kernel, leave me a note here and I’ll try to help you.
