Since you can’t use GPU for rendering or recording, a faster CPU couldn’t hurt and is probably your best bet, but it isn’t really thaaaat old. (There being no other hardware bottlenecks of course)

There are, cough cough I think, ways to decrypt and record HDCP protected streams but I’d imagine you’d have to have a render unit and recording unit in your setup. Sort of complicated.

Ah bummer. That’s most of my software tricks. I’d break out my hardware equipment next step, but that’s pricy.

That PC should be able to play a stream just fine. I’d check if there background apps hogging resources and make sure hardware acceleration is active. Scale the resolution down (no point of upscaling 1080p content) and record to a lower resource intensive format, perhaps h.264 vs h 265/HEVC.

I second this. It’s an amazing utility for video encoding.

Used it for converting class projects back in the day. The queue feature saved my arse back when prores to HEVC conversions took days.

Yeah, came here to say this too.

The title is false. That’s not what is happening.

I used a program based on that and got a block I think. I get errors in the logs saying I need to use the official YouTube app.

Anything to look out for or best practices for a noob? I think I got seen.

Yeah they blocked it a few months ago. I don’t remember the specifics, but it seemed like a new mod/admin came into play and didn’t get the memo about Lemmy and trying to be more transparent and engaged with communities. Just poof
