Videos hanging, images sometimes slow to load.

Like the title says, almost all videos from Gfycat, v.reddit.com, and more will load almost immediately, play a split second, then hang. Images will sometimes load like an old dial-up connection, stepping down from the top of the popup frame.

I don't think it's my internet speed or reliability, because whenever I have this problem I can follow the link I'm trying to load with Imagus and load the resulting direct page quickly and easily.

If there's a debug log or something I can dig into I'd love to learn about it. If anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this annoying issue, that would be great. Here's my setup:

  • Imagus version 0.9.8.67
  • Sieve from Dec 5th (but this issue has been happening since at least early November)
  • Firefox version 64.0
  • X.Org X Server 1.19.2
  • Compton 0.1~beta2+20150922
  • i3wm 4.13-1+deb9u1

The extension doesn't handle those sites any differently, if they're slow it's your browser/network, or the server.

I am having this same problem, did you figure out what the problem was?

Never did figure it out. It went away on its own, and I checked the version to find it had been installed for days. I don't think it was a version upgrade that fixed it, but also nothing else changed between the day it didn't work and the day it did.
