Yea I usually tell people if they just have a normal TV with built in speakers or a basic soundbar to just get the chromecast or an Apple TV if they are in the Apple sphere.

I recommend the shield pro to those with more serious home theater setups every time though.

well. that was a ride and a half.

Hope we see more AT sooner than later, there were some mentions of potential 1000+ content, but I don't know if they were just referencing the segment we saw here or it's own thing, that world has a lot to expand upon.

Some adviser somewhere is absolutely cacking themselves laughing at the dud information he gave here.

Or use the komga add on for tachiyomi to download the series and read off-line. I've never had to do that as I've never not had internet on my devices

Man I really want something in the full size form factor but with a CPU closer to a zero2, basically I want a pi3 modernised and cost optimised, not another more powerful pi.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

What I'd like to see is something like an updated and optimised ~pi3-spec device with EMMC or an m.2 sata slot. Yes I know I can put a pi zero2 into a breakout board, but they connect via USB and that severely limits performance.

I recently decommissioned my pis (2x 3b and 1x 4b) and replaced them all with a single intel n95 based NUC (which cost less than a single pi4 8gb at the time) and I didn't need any real gpio other than some serial ports, but if the right device came along with reliable storage I'd consider moving back to pis.

Komga is a server app that manages comics and manga and makes them available via a web interface, has multi user management and multiple library support with read tracking and such.. think Plex for Manga.

I access it from my Phone and my Boox e-ink Tablet and if I use the webui it tracks where I've read up to between devices.

I use a program called FMD (free Manga Downloader) I have it running in a container on my server and have a bunch of series watchlisted, when chapters are released it download them, converts them to CBZ and they appear in my Komga Library which I can access via web browser or Tachiyomi on all of my devices anywhere in the world.

I'm not familiar with Jellyfins current UI as I havent used it since the very first beta releases, but it will be in the settings somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

is refresh rate auto switching enabled?

This is likely a Jellyfin issue as auto switching may not work on multimonitor systems and especially when moving the player between windows.

Very weird looking tearing, but if you are playing 24, 25, or 50 FPS content on a TV or monitor that is locked to 60HZ it is going to tear, some handle it better than others.

I suspect your output is set to 60hz or something and you are watching content that isn't at either 30 or 60 and your playback software isnt doing autoswitching (kodi, plex etc do this, but not web browsers or apps like netflix)

So it's not a hardware fault, its just the reality of watching media on a computer with an external display, so it's a software configuration problem.

Also, considering the severity of it, are your video drivers up to date? that amount of tearing is close to what you'd see when running standard vesa drivers like when you have no video driver installed at all.

God Damn that flash frame of Ice King as a skeleton was amazing.

See you all next week it's been a hell of a ride
