it sits in the closet unused. maybe I'll turn it into a pfsense firewall or something idk.

or maybe upgrade the internals. apple tv has made it pretty redundant now that I can stream my mac to the tv at will.

it installs something called "bonjour service", which it says is for sharing media libraries. i don't have anyone to share with, so i disable that. up until recently, starting itunes without bonjour running caused itunes to crash :eng99:

youtubes html5 player is trash, but the reason its doing software encoding is because you're using bad browsers. when youtube detects a bad browser it sends webm which cant be hardware decoded. please upgrade to IE11 so it will use h264 which will be hardware decoded.

i use itunes in windows and on mac, it syncs my playlists, which also work within the DJ software I use, and syncs my iPhone wirelessly.

oracle/rman thinger. we're doing weekly full's with nightly diffs (or incremental cumulative or whateever dumb thing rman calls them). for all of our DB's except one, the diff size grows day to day consistently like we expect. however, one of the test db's ends up having diffs that are occasionally smaller than the previous day's. this db is used for user training on our application, so I assume there are either table or entire db rollbacks occurring after training sessions are complete. I think it makes sense that this behavior could occur in that situation but one of my coworkers stumbled on it and is spooked and now doesn't trust any of our db diffs

if u use chrome you get the full rainbow of resolution in mp4 and 60 fps. im sure there's a technical reason for it, not anything like trying to strongarm you into using their dumb gay babby browser

vlc plays 720p youtube just fine with hardware acceleration
unfortunately lol 1080p uses dash or something thats only available to their flash/html5 players

i wonder if its a memory issue
2gb should be enough for win7 x32 eh?

i suppose its possible the framedrops are just poo poo being paged to disk
but i dont wanna drop more $$$ on parts i literally plucked from my junk bin

yeah, we got that scheduled in a few weeks and do it annually. but we're coming off backup exec and doing the backup to disk thing and I'd like to know ahead of time if this has a chance of working since our dba is an idiot and re-scheduling tests that go badly wastes my time

I wonder if flash is actually using mp4. its probably using webm or w/e other garbage codec google doesn't have to pay for.

seems to be using mp4

ie11: uses html5 no matter what the youtube.com/html5 setting is and framedrops regardless
firefox: webm unaccelerated, html5 limited to 720p and framedrops, flash player framedrops
chrome: same as firefox
vlc: opens the 720p link and plays it as smooth as my rear end (real smooth)

vlc wont open the 1080p streams because google changed the format and vlc cant play it
