        @sdetweil Mate to be honest…didnt try but a very easy way to see if its the MM2! :-) Try it in a few and report back soon. Thanks for the fast reply!

          @sdetweil so, just checked. It is way better but still not 2020 like. I mean I have a 1GB fiber connection and the Raspy is connected via wifi on 5GHz line. I would expect the video to stream smooth without the little stop&go. When I have MM2 running and I switch to terminal or Geney it always takes a few seconds to react. It is very slow then. By the way, I am using a SanDisk microSDXC Card 64GB ExtremePro A2. So I guess a potential card issue is sorted right?

            @duxnobis hm… slow loading from disk… (sd card)

            look at memory use , free -m should be suing swap space…

            I moved to booting from sd card, but running from SSD, so the sd card is read only (hm I should flick that switch!)

              @duxnobis well, I went and played some, and I see a choppy video but the audio is perfect…

              I don’t know if there are parms to the iframe to help solve that

              but not new news…

                @sdetweil I tried to uninstall chromium and reinstall. Same. I decrease resolution to 1080p and the Pi speeds up a little I have to admit. The youtube though is still choppy.

                SSD? I dont know mate. I dont want to have too many devices behind the monitor if I can avoid.

                I think it must exist something else which could speed up the system. :-(

                  @duxnobis changing size of the video window makes a big difference…course on a 4k screen, 800c600 is pretty small already
