Youtube not working

[SenadM]

Giving the error "If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device"

[evancohen]

I've gotten this feedback from a couple of people - it doesn't happen on my Pi so I'll need to do a fresh install to see if I can get it to reproduce.

[SenadM]

I can send you my smart-mirror folder and you can take a look at that.

Having this issue as well, getting the spinning wheel of death from the YouTube frame.

[phelixz]

Yes, same for me

[7h30n3]

Me, too.

[evancohen]

Sounds like a bug, I shall investigate!

[benjitastic]

same for me... sorry, don't have much more useful information. here is my .asoundrc file: https://gist.github.com/benjitastic/7fbf0a886f3a68a21103043347ff754f

here's my /boot/config.txt: https://gist.github.com/benjitastic/79c4ee05d97926633f2bb911f4754739

let me know if there are any other files or info that would be helpful.

USB mic input is working

Yes just noticed it is also happening to me as well. Not sure why... Don't know if this helps any but...I realize this isn't windows but perhaps it's a starting point..

"I have a brand new PC with windows 10 and after the issue happened to me I searched around like everyone else here. Still not entirely sure what causes it but; "Run Chrome as Administrator" fixed it for me. Hopefully this helps for anyone else that comes across this problem."

from what i can tell this is a soundcard issue, i had the same problem but found switching to an external card freed up the problem and videos would run, may possibly be the internal card resource is being hogged by raspbian OS, i'm going to try to disable it for the OS and see if that fixes it.

[evancohen]

@itsmason it's very likeley that is the issue, in which case the simple fix is to use Dsnoop. Instructions for this are in #386.

I can test that out over the weekend. I'll update this thread and the docs if that fixes it.

💥
@itsmason have you tried the Dsnoop fix @evancohen has suggested and did that solve anything?

[itsmason]

@justbill2020 I've not tried yet sorry, but I'm looking into it over the next week or so. If I get an answer before you (I'm guessing you're having the same issue) I will update.

[justbill2020]

just trying to keep the issues moving along and going through to update open issues which might be resolved... please keep us updated as you test it out... and also are you using the most recent version as well as raspbian jessie with pixel?

[itsmason]

I've not had a chance to check updates but I was using the most current build last month on both raspbian and smart-mirror code.

[evancohen]

I haven't been able to reproduce this problem on the latest build. It could be that you have some straggler environmental variables from an old version of the mirror that are getting in the way. Try clearing those out if you have them.

I have the same problem on the latest build :0(

You can fix the problem with

Update 3:

Wanted to update the changes I made to the best of my memory.

sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa : I changed load-module module-udev-detect to load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
sudo nano /etc/pulse/daemon.conf : I un-commented and changed the following:
high-priority = yes
nice-level = -11
realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 9
exit-idle-time = -1
resample-method = trivial
rlimit-nice = 31
rlimit-rtprio = 9
default-sample-format = s16le
default-sample-rate = 44100
default-sample-channels = 2
default-fragments = 10
default-fragment-size-msec = 7
sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf I added the following lines to the end:
pi - nice -11
pi - rtprio 9

you have to start jackserver and maybe pulseaudio manually:

pulseaudio --start
jack_control start

[evancohen]

Just as a reminder, the mirror doesn't support PulseAudio - I know that some people have added it to their setup for reasons, but you really shouldn't need it.

Unable to reproduce with the most current master branch as of 11/22/2016
