I find that often the player will spin like this for 10-20 secs before starting to play. I wonder if it’s trying to play an ad, and the ad is being successfully blocked but the video doesn’t start until the length of the ad is over. If you see the black screen and the loading spinner, try just waiting for 30 secs and seeing if it starts on its own.

Fascinating news!
Why people are upvoting this drivel is beyond me.
Oh, it’s dangerous and harmful all right : to their business model.
But… is it? I have Plex and Jellyfin, but I host my tv and movies library. I don’t watch tv or movies on YouTube. I watch youtuber videos on youtube. It’s different media.
Are people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?
The bottom comment in the op image? Yeah I agree, I came into the comments here to see if anyone else picked up on it.

SponsorBlock. I watch hours of youtube a day and it’s improved so much by SB. It’s the creator’s full-time job so I chip in to support the project. I’d be devestated if it went away.

I’m looking for the chatroom that you’re addressing but I can’t see it
That can’t be the reason. I feel like that would be pretty easy to implement. I can’t see manufacturers saying “well we could put cellular capabilities in laptops but if we also have to allow emergency calls then we’ll just not bother”.
sure, but I tried this and they all suck. I only have 8GB of ram so can only use the smaller versions of the models, and they’re much much worse at just making up random shit
What bland, meaningless drivel.
Until then…

Nothing they say exists until it exists
ah yes, when someone tells me to “go get some water” I usually put it on a plate. Very natural.
Mine is the F4-210.
I probably could, but frankly it’s not worth the effort when my pi is already set up the way I like, and is more powerful. I don’t see the advantage of trying to hack the nas into shape when its hardware is atrocious anyway.
It has 1GB of non-upgradeable ram and the CPU scores 131 on geekbench: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/20874021
My pi has 8GB of ram and scores 1018 on geekbench, and cost half as much (~£90-100 vs I think ~£180-190). https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/11626981 (so 7.7x, not quite 10x, but still an insane gap)
What do you find is the advantage of the nas if it’s outperformed by the cheaper pi?
I have one, but I feel pretty burned by them since the model I bought was immediately outdated because the next hardware version after mine was a new cpu arcitechure, and the new software updates don’t support the old architecture. I think they moved from arm to x86 or something like that. So I’m stuck with old software that’s no longer supported, only a year or two after I bought the up to date model.
And, yeah, as the other commenter noted, it does feel quite like you’re using knock-off software. Remoting into it doesn’t really fill me with confidence. Maybe it’s fine but it just looks/feels like the cheap and shitty version of something more reputable. And it’s not even running a proper version of linux that I could customise - it’s a stripped down version of arch that I can’t install anything on unless it’s on their official app store, which doens’t even work half the time, and when I do install the official version of plex/etc the cpu is so wimpy that it can’t even direct stream untranscoded video directly off the disk. My raspberrypi 5 is literally 10x (!!) faster than it in cpu benchmarks. You’re probably right that I could probably overwrite the os with something better, but then what’s the point in buying an expensive NAS when you could just buy a pi with much more power, community support, packages, etc, plus a dumb external usb enclosure for half the cost? Maybe the more recent ones with the updated cpu architecture are more powerful and have better apps, idk, but now I just use it as a dumb hard drive enclosure and do any smarts, such as plex or scripts I need to run, on my pi anyway.
So, I’m considering just moving all my NAS/plex data to an external drive attached to my pi.
