Containers: Improving Video Performance

Containers: Improving Video Performance

Product Line:  VERDE

Normal Browser usage in Containers typically results in no degradation in performance.  Issues may manifest themselves when you access YouTube Videos.  If so,
and you have a normal VERDE server, for example, at least 32 GB RAM, all you need to do is modify the settings found in the status bar of the Video.  Specifically the Quality setting.  Increase the Quality to a suggested value of HD.



If you have a very low end VERDE server (test server, not production), for example no more than 16 GB RAM, I recommend disabling the SWAP memory.  The line command is as follows:

       swapoff -a

To permanently disable SWAP memory, modify the /etc/fstab with a # sign on the swap line like the following screen shot.



 

When you run the command to check for memory (free -mh) you should see there's nothing in SWAP as in the following screen shot:
