Watch Videos At Higher Resolutions On Linux - Tas_mania - 11-08-2024
Previously here at Watercooler I came across a networking algorithm that can improve bandwidth on the big video platform
I did some more investigating and found a way of making it permanent on a Linux system.

Find what congestion control you are using now:
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
Mine had
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno cubic
Add BBR
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf (gedit or whatever editor you want)
add the following two lines:
net.core.default_qdisc=fq
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr
save file
reload sysctl.conf > sudo sysctl -p
check congestion control again:
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno cubic bbr

Hopefully enabling this gives you better video performance.
I think more people are 'streaming' video on Android TVs. A network is only as fast as it's slowest bottleneck.
