Thanks for sharing. Do you think that it works better on dietpi than other Linux images ? Also, what resolution is the video playing at? Just asking out of curiosity.

RE: dietpi is great; watch youtube via chromium - hatahata - 12-08-2016

i use pine64+ 1GB memory .

i try archlinux , but it cannot play youtube .

by debian , it play youtube by midori but it can not play youtube smoothly .
namely not a movie but a commic .

only android plays youtube smoothly but i do not like android .

the resolution is dependent of TV and redolution setting .

I sure do want to watch youtubes like you. I don't know why I only get stop-and-go response of the videos. When I try to specify the amount of swap that you're using:

Code:
root@DietPi:~# dphys-swapfile setup

want /mnt/8ccd4c9a-baa0-4717-83e3-ff582354a048/.swapfile=28000MByte, restricting to config limit: 2048MBytes, (etc...)

So apparently I have the maximum size swap file I am allowed at about 2Gb. The stated valid range goes up to 2000Mb only. I am using a 32Gb USB Kingston flash drive (dedicated, with a formatted swap fs). Running the mount command does NOT show my flash drive mounted, but the free, blkid, and cat /proc/swaps commands show:

Code:
root@DietPi:~# free

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem:       2036460     262112    1774348      10356      18116     132948

-/+ buffers/cache:     111048    1925412

Swap:      2097148          0    2097148

root@DietPi:~# blkid|grep sdb

/dev/sdb1: UUID="8ccd4c9a-baa0-4717-83e3-ff582354a048" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="e35da128-01"

root@DietPi:~# cat /proc/swaps

Filename                Type        Size    Used    Priority

/mnt/8ccd4c9a-baa0-4717-83e3-ff582354a048/.swapfile file        2097148    0    -1

The mount command shows NOTHING mounted relative to /dev/sdb1, my swap flash partition.

This is a new u-SD card, freshly imaged and installed with your options, except that I'm not using a pi user, just root. Could that be my problem? I wasn't really clear on your step of adding the pi user and changing (?) that rc init file. That rc init file doesn't exist on my system.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm not familiar with that command (used to just creating a swap partition and then enabling it), but since you've run the dphys-swapfile setup command... have you run dphys-swapfile swapon to then actually enable the swapfile usage? It appears you need to run both commands? Huh

Yes, I did but didn't think to include it because the swapon command produced no response. My bad in not posting that info. Thank you kindly for asking. Did you enable swap via fstab instead?

Come to think of it, that cat /proc/swaps command output must have gotten chopped off somehow. It is actually:

Code:
root@DietPi:~# cat /proc/swaps

Filename                                            Type        Size    Used    Priority

/mnt/8ccd4c9a-baa0-4717-83e3-ff582354a048/.swapfile file        2047996    0    -1

Can someone explain to me why you would A) need swap in the first palce and B) use non-standard tools to implement it?

A) Guessing that I don't need swap (for youtubing, at least), and
B) I actually discovered that dphys-swapfile is a standard part of Ubuntu in the course of this. I'm guessing that using a swap file instead of a swap partition is when you'd use use it. It is how the command-lining behind the whiptail GUI-like DietPi configurator tool handles swap.
