What android tv box should I use as a client for "Jellyfin for Android TV"? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD and you want passthrough

Can you elaborate on this please - what's passthrough and dts?

I have a shield - can I use it as a server, or is it just a client?

Any tree photography ideas please? (lemm.ee)
 

This is an area of Photography I really struggle with. So I'm interested to learn if anyone has any good tips for capturing photos of trees.

It's winter here in the UK and most of the trees are now leafless.

Grateful for any thoughts.

Advice on cleaning soot from stone fireplace surround (lemm.ee)
 

We've got a small log burner with a light grey stone surround.

Every time I open the door to poke the logs, bits of soot fall out and mark the stone when I brush them up.

I'm getting a little worried as the house is rented, so I want to leave it in good condition.

I've tried washing liquid and cream cleaner but they just don't shift the stains.

Does anyone have any good tips that might help. I'm in UK, so products I can get my hands on here would help.

Many thanks.

Hi, on f-droid there's an app called Android Samba Client but I can't get it to connect to my shared folder because of permissions - it says, but I can't find a lot of documentation about it.

Have you seen this?

I'm hoping that it's not connecting because of something I'm doing wrong - and maybe I can figure it out later (poss. because of my lack of understanding on my part of the way plex should share permissions with other devices).

If you get anywhere further, please let me know. - it just doesn't seem to be a well covered topic unfortunately.

Yeah, sorry - I misunderstood you. The link is good, thanks for providing it. Some of it is a little above my head, but when I look at X-plore and my plex server I can see in the properties that it's using smb V2 to connect.

So, I guess the means of permanently having a remote drive connected for Android to access isn't a pipe dream. It's now just figuring out the best way to achieve it.

So, I'll try to explore some of that links info and see if I can get anywhere with it.

Thanks again for taking the time.

I'm thinking maybe mount as you say using Xplore and bring in Syncthing to move the file across onto the server. Thanks for the idea.

DVD writing help needed (lemm.ee)

This may not be the correct place for this, if so please point me elsewhere.

My other half doesn't have broadband, so I'm looking to write dvds so we can watch then on a dvd player.

To this end I've gotten a copy of ashampoo and downloaded some films (.mkv files) and I'm now looking to copy them onto dvds. Now I know I can't just copy the files on, and the software's asking for mpeg files only.

Has anyone come across - or know how to actually convert and write properly? A guide perhaps?

I know it's old technology, but it's gotta be better than just watching the crap on free tv. TIA.

Edit: many thanks to all for the great - and varied answers. Certainly lots of info to 'chew' on.

Just started using the above setup and gotta say this is the bees bollox - I'm so impressed by just how fluid it all works - free from an insane price too - it just works flawlessly!

I've got to add in here - Unchained (F-droid) which connects to an RD account and allows to search stuff and either 'aside' for later or download immediately - the app (imho) is wicked and definately worth checking out and supporting.

The great stuff aside, I have one general question: feel free to add more...

Saving stuff: I know that torrentio will save links into my RD account for me to pick up later, but can I get it to auto download into a folder of my choice - to any folder on my network? I can get it to save onto my phone (via Unchained) but then I've got to transfer it into my library.

I'm looking for a easy/lazy way I guess.

Any thoughts?

Which FOSS apps can be synced with Syncthing? (lemm.ee)

I've just found Syncthing and I'm blown away by this app. So, I'm interested if any of my other apps can be replaced by foss equivalents that can be synced.

My first suggestion is Obsidian - which, at first I had problems syncing with paid solutions, but syncs flawlessly with Syncthing.

Does anyone have any more suggestions? Ideally looking to sync between android devices, but any info is much appreciated.

Update : many thanks for all the suggestions - some good ones. Hopefully we can keep adding the ones we find that can be synced from local folders.

Recently visited York (UK) and they have a fantastic bus system - and they're electric.

Vacuum Cleaner Over-heats and Cuts Out - Can I Fix It? (lemm.ee)

I've had this Vax upright for about 5 years. Recently it's started to cut off when I'm using it. I feel the base - and it's hot. Any ideas for anything that I can do to fix it?

I'm not technically minded but I will have a go - if it will save me having to buy a new vacuum.

Edit: many thanks for all the replies and advice.

Is My VPN On Checker ? (lemm.ee)
 

Does anyone know of a foss android app that will notify me if I load certain apps that I also need to use with vpn on?

I don't need my vpn always on, but I do for some apps. Ideally I'd like to be able to toggle the apps I want it to monitor.

If it could switch the vpn on as well that would be top.
