As the old saying goes, you can write bad code in any language or on top of any libraries. SmartCast is sooooo slow.

I need to reboot my Vizio TV weekly through a hidden system menu to fix audio desync issues. Simply power cycling from the remote does not work, as far as I can tell that's a sleep mode. Absolutely terrible device and I will not be going back to Vizio in the future.

Are you suggesting that GPL'd code is intrinsically better than code licenced under other licences? Do you have any numbers on this?

They're still using pulseaudio and not pipewire?

Why would a TV be shipping beta software?

I shouldn't be surprised if it was alsa alone. Shall we instead ssh into our tv to kill and restart pulse?
