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?

Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I’m watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn’t make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.

Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I’m now thinking to switch to something else.

Great, I’ll repost, thanks. What’s a mesh network btw?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

Thanks. I couldn’t get plex to run from ‘off site’, it was probably something that I wasn’t doing properly.

I’m not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.

Leather strop for sharpening

I’m genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned ‘steel’ (mind your hands cus there’s no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.

Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they’re hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.

Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?

I’ve had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.

Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I’ll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍

I’m dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.

Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.

Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.

Good luck.

Joplin syncs with Nextcloud - Orgzly does too. Agreed, Jtxboard does - via davx5.

I’m currently using obsidian synced via syncthing. I know it’s not Nextcloud, but it works well and has a nice interface and lots of plug-ins - even on Android. It might be able to sync - not bothered trying to yet - if anyone has, please comment.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks for the link - I’ll definitely look into it.

and my PC at home would have it downloaded automatically before I even got home.

Hi, could you please explain how you got this to happen? Thanks.

Why is it a pain? I’ve used it for some time and it just does the job.

Hi, not sure if this will work on roku, but it does fine on my nvidia, /u/Metigoth mentioned STN (SmartTubeNext) - it’s on github. You could download the apk and try side loading it. Edit: gotta get used to linking better.

Good luck, it’s kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.

Handy News Reader (F-droid).

If you’re not getting a full text feed for articles try changing your feed app (assuming android). I’m using handy News reader (flymm fork on F-droid). It retrives the full article text for all my feeds.

Yeah, I have it running now, but I’m unsure the direction the company is taking and looking for a jump-off point.
