Jellyfin is a free alternative for Plex (and as you may have noticed Plex has gotten a little top heavy lately).
Unfortunately, the people behind Jellyfin dropped the ball with the latest version - at least for Windows - as it simply doesn't 'auto' install. But fixing it isn't too hard.
I bought the original set of Farscape DVDs, only to find out they have no Dutch subtitles. Bummer.
Online I found several Dutch subtitles as .srt files, but the timing was wrong. Here's how to fix subtitle synchronization issues...
The most popular page on this blog is the Rock Solid page. I've updated the information on other related models, as I think I've finally figured out all variants.
As for 2023... I hope to enjoy my Home Theater setup for a long, long time to come. I feel no need to visit the cinema, and am considering even larger screen options... Though I'd probably have to win the lottery first. And get some stuff repaired...
Look what I found on a Japanese (?) website... someone is selling his home-build transmission line / horn version of the B&W 'Rock Solid Sound' Monitor.
Hard to tell how it sounds, but the lack of dampening material, and the fact the seller wants to sell it... Oh well.
Upfront: this is a bit of a kludge, and I'll be looking for a better option, as soon as I can find one. But it taught me things...
Anyway, with the ever-increasing price of electricity, I was wondering if I could not simply switch off my home server upon command. In the past, I used a timed-out, which worked fine, but there are other users in my household, and they're not always computer-savvy.
I haven't been able to find a good explanation (and there might be a better way to do it) so here's what I do...
It seems the current radio function is connected to TuneIn, so that's what I'll use. It should be possible to use other services but I'm still struggling there. In the SqueezeBox client you can enter URLs directly.
Datatalk / Kodi.
Want to use your Nvidia Shield or Google Chromecast with Google TV (what a horrible name) to play back files from a home (Windows) server using Kodi?
On Android you cannot browse SMB shared drives, and you have to specify them by hand using their IP address.
Als je meerdere TV's in huis hebt wil je ook graag op allemaal TV kunnen kijken. Dat gaat echter niet altijd even gemakkelijk... En dan is er natuurlijk die (on)handige Ziggo App...
I recently picked up another SqueezeBox touch, to replace my older, misbehaving unit. This stuff is getting old, with the last SB Touch units being manufactured in 2012. When I tried to connect my new second-hand unit to my server, it kept asking me to update the server.
I am running a small, Windows 7 based home-server in my home. Its primary function is to serve music to my Squeezebox music player(s), but it also serves as my file server and movie transcoder.
I needed to replace the PSU, but what is a proper size?
