Jellyfin ftw

#

I never had plex but jf works fine for me so 🤷‍♂️

night zodiac
#

fo sho. whatever works for you. I like competition.

#

I have an Xbox Original somewhere still running XBMC

dusky plank
#

Same, i replaced the hdd a few months ago 😄

night zodiac
#

Mine should be at my parents somewhere

#

it's probably fucked

#

I haven't replaced the caps

#

it has an xecuter panel on it, lol

#

not my picture but mine looks like that on the front

#

I'm travelling there next weekend hopefully, maybe. I'll try to find it

dusky plank
#

Noice, the transparent and screen and xecuter stuff 😂 i did some modding too until it broke. Got a stock one afterwards and kept it that way until now, just softmodded

night zodiac
#

soft modding is awesome

#

it just wasn't an option for the setup I wanted

#

it may have not even existed at the time

#

which game was it again everyone used?

#

splinter cell?

dusky plank
#

Halo?

night zodiac
#

for the exploit

dusky plank
#

Ah for the softmod

#

Yeah splinter cell or mech assault

night zodiac
#

ahh, mech assault seems very familiar

#

I owned splinter cell though

#

Were you into Halo modding back in the day?

#

not cheating but modding and such

#

custom maps

dusky plank
#

Hmm not really on the xbox but on the pc

night zodiac
#

ahhh

#

dang

dusky plank
#

But yes, I‘ve visited xbins 😅

night zodiac
#

I had a website very popular for xbox nerds because of our map pack

#

Killtrocity Map Pack 1 & 2, lol

dusky plank
#

With the irc login and cooldown stuff

#

Lol

night zodiac
#

I have the files still somewhere

dusky plank
#

They are mirrored for sure somewhere

night zodiac
#

yeah, it was the most popular one

#
#

I didn't do anything really with them. my buddy was super smart and made the networking work with all of them nicely

dusky plank
#

There are still some people on xlink kai and such

night zodiac
#

yeah, we were always super active on that and xbox connect

#

mostly xbox connect

#

if I can recover my xbox, we will have to jump around on maps my buddies made many moons ago, lol

#

I wonder if he still has his xbox

#

I looked into trying to load these on PC not too long ago

#

maybe there are some tools now

#

I had a website named Hacks-4-Snacks that hosted tons of halo stuff, lol

dusky plank
#

Replace your hdd, its easy with a modchip 🙂 my caps did blow but the damage was minimal

night zodiac
#

nice

#

it had quite a large HDD, I don't remember what

#

(for the time)

dusky plank
#

You can even find the 1.5tb torrents pretty easy with all the games

night zodiac
#

I'll definitely have to clone an image of it before I get too crazy

#

I am really boring

#

I just want to play Killtrocity Map Pack

#

all I did was play Halo 1, Halo 2 on that thing

#

and maybe a bit of this and that

#

splinter cell was pretty good

#

Ryan9113, Idk why I am as a beta-er though, lol

#

anyone remember e107? lol

#

badass logo I made when I was a kid

#

#

we had this thing called Mantis where you could download maps from an online repository

#

does jellyfin have the secure sharing to other jellyfin users like plex does?

umbral cliff
forest edge
umbral cliff
#

Tell your friends to use username blah and password blah

forest edge
#

wait, you have to have a seperate account?

#

I don't even think you had to do that with kodi. you sure?

umbral cliff
#

Jellyfin uses a username/password to log in, people log in with the details you give them

#

Plex secure sharing works by them using another plex account doesn't it

forest edge
#

no

#

when a user shares a share you give them an access number, they plug that in and it ties that into your main

#

you see your local and thier remote on the same page etc

umbral cliff
#

So you still need an account

#

But no thats not how jellyfin works

forest edge
#

you need whatever you setup plex with, yes

#

Weird
I don't even notice when it transcodes and never drop audio
Which player do you use?

clear ferry
#

atv4k

#

90-125MBps streams with pure 4k hdr content

#

plex doesn't skip a beat in either transcoding or direct play

#

I love when frigate tags cats as dog

#

Then I remember I'm a fat bastard

#

wow these old 6TB drives I have are just not liking zfs at all

#

getting 10-15MBps doing zfs sync

#

meanwhile doing the same stream to some SSDs I get 550MBps (the max read of the source)

plex hasn't crashed since 2013 for me tbh

#

when I still ran it on a DL380g4p

glacial knot
#

I spent more time watching it crash than running it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

clear ferry
#

lol

#

PEBKAC

#

or running it on some consumer nonsense

#

😄

low harness
#

Can't remember plex ever crashing 🤔

clear ferry
#

I know a lot of users had issues running it on windows

low harness
#

Or are you talking about some frontend app?

glacial knot
clear ferry
#

well yes

#

I have used atv and roku for the last 8 years

#

never had issues

#

had a pi running some plex player before that, but that was hit and miss

Careful with cache on synology. It is higher risk than benefit as it eat up the drive and you loose all your data. I noticed it with 1% lifespan and saved 40TB of data.

clear ferry
#

lol

#

synology

late gate
#

synology is working fine. Not really had any issues with my synology except the nvme issues

thanks for the warning. mine has been running for 3+ years now and we are all normal.

Won't it notify you if the lifespan is running out?

night zodiac
#

yeah, I'll get emails

static schooner
#

Like before it's 1%

night zodiac
#

as soon as it shows degraded

static schooner
#

Looks like the threshold for spare blocks is 10%

night zodiac
late gate
#

RobC, here it notified at 1% - a bit late in my opinion

static schooner
#

I can't tell where the criteria are for each of those rules

night zodiac
#

same

static schooner
#

I was looking at this:

#

it's a SMART attribute, and I would expect it to notify when it drops below that threshold

#

My cache hit rate is usually >90% if not 100%, so it's doing its job

night zodiac
#

apparently I need to recreate my cache

#

it's old

#

Aleks, just curious. What type of drive, size, and did you have two of them?

#

and is there a minecraft server on the NAS?

Atx, I dont use the cache anymore, its useless and just a waste of NVME. In the next update they might allow to use NVME as a regular storage drive, then I rather use it as manual cache for database, plex, mqtt and so on

yeah, jedi, got it

ashen parrot

was thinking in the context of audio cues

it would be a weird thing but would have great effect

imagine seeing a guy make a sudden gesture and the attention cue from metal gear solid playing

#

just an example

clear ferry
#

Anything is possible with a hidden button and smoke and mirrors

ashen parrot

why buttons

#

the gesture is the button

clear ferry

Because if all you want to achieve is the wow factor, getting the complexity of what you are imagining makes it 40% likely to work

ashen parrot

yeah but the gesture is half the effect

clear ferry

You can still do the gesture

im not going for the wow factor, not trying to impress, am going for the actual effect the gesture+sound would yield

just looked it up. it's nuts there isn't some bsic way. you have to use a vibration sensor to simulate the old clapper lol

What good are guests if you need to see or speak with them or do anything for them? 🙂

This man has a long history of providing food for crows. After that, they decided to repay him with a pleasant surprise one day. Crows are widely considered to be among the most intelligent of all bird species. Corvids, more often known as crows, can recognize themselves in mirrors, use tools, and make long-term plans. All of these abilities are...

Well, I just found a 2 that didn’t have a dock. I guess I shouldn’t say, I. It is my wife who is the shopper 😜. She found it for 10.00. Trying to verify now.

they sell the same thing both bundled with the dock and seperate

infact the dock version has the screen is in a seperate box

Not a '2', it seems

I do not know if you can only do it on the 2 for sure. I do know that all the how to web pages talk about the 2

yes only the 2 has an actual screen

the gen 1 isn't the same

i didn't know the nightlight was part of the dock tho

Several on there for under 10.00

Yes part or the dock. If no dock the screen turns on with a hue

that xiaomi smart clock almost seems like a better fit imo

granted 14 bucks is 14 bucks, but talking about reg price vs reg price

What I got clearly has a screen

This is more than enough as a mini UI, at least for me. Dock was a bonus. The only issue I came across is the button remapper not sticking. Don't care as long as FKB is the home app.

No access to buttons even better.

it made sense if the screen could be sold seperatly. but with rob linked. it's a poor design choice imo

why is the nightlight part of the dock lol

they made the unit that dosen't come with the dock, the alexa version

thats why rob's is a diffrent design all together

Yes one is Alexa the other google

umbral cliff

looking at the docks, it probably has a similar issue to Mycroft
And is very limited in how it processes language. More of a STT with a somewhat fuzzy matching engine behind it.

I wasn't able to try the screenreader hack with my unit because apparently they've removed that option from the iOS Google Home app (somebody used an older version of the app on a jailbroken phone) and my crappy Android phone kept restarting the app when I tried to change settings. I was planning to move forward with re-flashing it, but spflash doesn't see it for some reason (even though it's enumerated properly and fastboot sees it). I'm going to try another cable

#

This is exactly the experience that I recall having messing with my old Samsung S3 that I got from work to try Android, and then returned it a year later.

forest edge
#

screenreader for copy and pasting? or you meant to reach the browser?

static schooner
#

the first is required for the second, as I understood it

forest edge
#

I read on a reddit page where you can get to the brower by asking google to convert 1 euro to dollar (or something like that)

static schooner

ok, I was going from a Youtube video

forest edge

not tried, but that sounded like a quick and nifty fast way to open the browser

static schooner

hmm, maybe I'll try that. It currently doesn't boot, but I'm pretty sure that's because I've disabled all the security on it. I can put it back if needed

forest edge
#

I thought it was weird the direction you were going. from everything I read noone has gotten to anything special through that route, at best it was still the same path to how quad does it

I believe that you can just flash the stock Google image

forest edge

although it was promising that people are still activly trying to hack it fully

I didn't read that

where did you read that?

static schooner
#

the one I have is the first version, and I think most folks have moved on to the second version

forest edge
#

I didn't think there was a diffrence

you got the one that has no screen, the one with screen and the one with screen with removable dock

the one's with screen were the same regardless which flavor. hardware wise

I got the ones with a screen that you can swipe back and forth

forest edge

right

#

thats the same as ours with the dock

cept yours has a diffrent housing

I already set one up to go through the screenreader hack, so I may have burned a bridge already on that one. Another is new-in-box, though

#

I was hoping to get stock Android Things

forest edge

you should still be able to factory reset I would think

static schooner
#

it says that once you set it up, the "factory image" is gone

#

I did the AVB unlock step and it succeeded, but there's a lot of unwritten black magic going on

forest edge
#

that refers to it as being the smart clock, not smart clock 2

static schooner

that what my box says

#

it's all very confusing

forest edge

wasn't your model number the ZAr4002US? or whatever?

#

that forum post dosen't read right. you also gotta be careful cause mucho devices are diffrent between US variants and like EU ones

no, that's the model number

you can see it under the serial number on the top left

forest edge

yea that is smart clock 2

and yet...

like i said yesterday replace that 2 with 3 and you got the dock version like mine and quads

Maybe it's a marketing mistake and is worth $$$

try way he explains in that video on your other one

and see what happens

static schooner
#

That's what I was talking about earlier. It uses the screen reader

#

And I couldn't turn that on with the devices I have

#

You skipped to the part after he did the screen reader thing

#

I think it's the 'with the Google Assistant' part that differentiates it from the regular clock

#

It's almost sold out at $79, so better get on it

#

The dumb one is the 'smart clock essential' now

maybe that post was for yours then

@tidal bronzeyou can still "hey google" right? and do you have an alarm clock ability? how does it work if you do

tidal bronze

Yep, works beautifully for alarms and all the GA stuff. Better yet, without redrawing anything over FKB. Media puts FKB to background but returns after. I am not that interested in playing music on this probably some alert one day. All rooms have their own AV driver already

forest edge

how does it work for alarms? does it still use the core part to set the alarm then play the chime it normally would in factory mode?

i take it there is no indicator showing an alamr is set

Nope. Just a good ol GA alarm.

i think the GA alarm is the core alarm.. though not 100%
