  • What android tv box should I use as a client for "Jellyfin for Android TV"?

    Jump

  • 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?

  • Some great food for thought - and some ideas that I hadn't considered before - esp. about the mood I'm trying to convey.

    Your comments about taking lots of photos makes good sense - with a few batteries and a couple of sd cards, I could take hundreds of photos - and maybe if I see one that I like, I can return to explore more of the same.

    Many thanks for the great tips.

  • What's the best way to stream my files to my devices whem I'm away from home?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Advice on cleaning soot from stone fireplace surround

  • Hi, apologies for the delay in replying and thanks for the advice - I've been following it this weekend after getting some more logs.

    So far it's working well - I'm on top-down (Scandinavian) method - gets a really nice fire going quick and heats up the flue pretty quickly too. Your tip on getting a moisture tester: I'm gonna follow up soon when I get paid. I get that it's going to be pretty useful.

    I got the two controls mixed up: left being main air vent (which I now keep open until the fire gets red hot) and the right (which I used to keep closed all the time) and now leave open. So, it's running pretty nice now, my next challenge is keeping it going! I got some complaints that the room was going cold so I'm not sure if leaving the logs to go to embers was leaving it too late before putting more logs on.

    Again, thanks for the heads up, this is a learning curve for us, but I really appreciate the help.

  • 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.

    Good luck.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Great advice and thanks for taking the time.

    For what it's now worth, this has been my way so far (which by the sound of it may be why I'm unsuccessful): load kindling, one log and a couple of firelighters, light fire, keep control open and also door.

    Close door after 3-4 mins, wait until log is burnt on one side then turn it over, wait until its burnt through then add another log then repeat turn and refill.

    Not getting chance to watch tv properly as I'm constantly watching the fire!

    Do you find any type of log better than others?

    Thanks again for the advice.

  • Thaks for the oxyclear tip and yeah, loading the fire up initially is something I struggle with - it stays in our it goes out. I'll try that loading fashion - cheers.
