The AppleTV app is still a bit buggy but works for a lot of media. I’m pretty happy with the progress so far and finally switched out my Plex library.

What benefit does it have over Plex? I never really had any issues with Plex.

Infuse has a much better playback engine. Zero buffering and will "direct stream" every time, and works with literally any file or folder. Plex makes you follow ten steps and do a cartwheel and maybe it won't transcode.

American McGay posted:What benefit does it have over Plex? I never really had any issues with Plex. Handles media files with HDR/DoVi/Atmos a little bit better. If your TV/AV system doesn't support them or you don't have any media with that sort of content, it probably isn't worth using. What's cool about Infuse is it also supports other media server clients like Jellyfin and Emby or even directly from your NAS so you don't have to rely on a third party or Internet to watch local media. That's also one of the compelling use-cases for using Jellyfin over Plex, even if Jellyfin isn't quite ready for primetime - if you have a ton of Dolby Vision content or AMD hardware, Jellyfin can properly transcode Dolby Vision media to non-HDR devices using AMD hardware acceleration, which Plex hasn't implemented, and likely won't due to licensing issues as a paid app (per their support forums) - my friend's parents have a Samsung TV, and every once in a while they'll try to stream something and tell me the colors look all trippy because Samsung refuses to pay for Dolby licensing. Dolby Vision, HDR, and Atmos content are only going to get more and more prevalent, and I'll always choose to archive my media at the highest quality possible - plus I have an Atmos compatible sound system and Dolby Vision capable TV. It's not a problem right now, because I've got an old GTX 1060 doing my transcoding, but I'll eventually want to upgrade to something with AV1 encoding/decoding, and I certainly won't let Plex force me into buying an overpriced Nvidia card instead of possibly buying something from AMD or even Intel.

Do you mean it doesn’t have a way to behave as a server? I use Infuse to access my PC and my NAS all the time. You can set up a basic computer/NAS to function solely as a server that Infuse can access.

I mean infuse does not have a server component like Plex does. It can of course act as a client to virtually any type of file share, and also it can connect to Emby/Jellyfin and plex. Personally I connect to both Plex and my NFS share via unraid.

My Apple TV (the first of the “new” ones, the one that came before the HD version) and/or remote has been behaving strangely lately. It also controls a receiver that is connected to speakers. The other day a loud video came on that needed some adjusting, so I tried to decrease the volume with the remote. However, that increased the volume and there was no way to decrease it. Eventually I had to manually turn off the receiver and reboot the Apple TV. That solved the bonkers volume bug but now the sensitivity on the touch pad seems somewhat off. I don’t know how to explain it, but something’s wonky somewhere. Do you have any theories?

I had something similar happen when my kids got some sticky substance under the buttons. If it’s an old remote you might try cleaning or replacing it.

Maybe a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol to the buttons You can also reset the remote which a lot of people probably didn’t know

I had it and it went away after I recharged the remote. It was not showing a low battery warning, I was just frustrated and plugged it in out of desperation.

Hmmm I check mine once a week and if it drops below 60% I charge it for an hour or so and then it's full. Wonder if that may be the issue?

Apple TV is so infuriating sometimes. I have an AppleTV in my office that’s set to use a HomePod pair as the default audio output. And after some initial growing pains, it’s worked fine for a while. But now, I’m spending the weekend at my parents house and I took it with me. Easy enough, just change the “default audio output” to tv speakers, right. No. Every time I try to change it, I get the spinning wheel of death and nothing happens. I’ve tried on the ATV itself and in the Home app, and it does the same thing in both. The most infuriating part is that it IS playing the audio out of the TV speakers, but every 2 minutes or so I get a pop up that says “unable to connect to HomePod. Try again or change default audio output” Anyone run into this before and have any ideas how to fix? I tried moving the ATV out of the “Office” room in the Home app but that didn’t work. Short of fully setting this up as a new ATV from scratch, I’m all out of ideas.

What the hell? I just got a 30-sec ad in the Prime video app between episodes of a show. I’ve never seen that before. Wow, I just got a second, right in the middle of an episode. Guess this is a thing now. Thanks Amazon. Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Mar 12, 2023 |

Usually means the video is part of some "free" service (ad-supported) that is being listed alongside of stuff from the actual prime video service. It will say somewhere in the description.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Yeah that’s almost certainly it. Amazon seems to be shifting a lot of video to Freevee this last year. And then when you watch it you can see almost exclusively ads for Freevee because it's not actually about making money, it's about showing their investors that they're monetizing library content.

Last night it was Verizon. At least four Verizon commercials in every episode of the show I watched (out of four to five ad breaks total). And I don’t mean four different commercials. It was two, which were occasionally switched. I have nothing to back this up, but I imagine in a couple of years Prime Video will go away and all those shows will move to Freevee. Maybe Prime subscribers will get “Freevee plus” or something.

Yeah I saw a bunch of Verizon yesterday (or whenever) when I made my post. My kid was watching Sonic X and it just abruptly cuts in and shows 90 secs of ads. It just seems like it's a random timer to just cut away every 5-8 minutes and blast you with ads. I got yelled at by my 4yo for changing his show, haha.

That's one of the things that bugs me most about these "free TV" things, the shows they're showing always have set spots where an ad break is meant to go but that'd be way too much work to go through the whole archive marking where ad breaks are manually so just constantly interrupt the flow of the show.

It's also ignoring my "don't autoplay" setting so I'm going to guess it's a bug in the app. That or some VP's annual stock bonus depends on a very specific metric this will goose.

Thinking of getting an Apple TV 4K to replace my Fire TV Cube, mainly because the Cube's ethernet port tops out at 100Mbps. Are the apps available on Fire TV generally also on Apple TV? I'm thinking UK TV channels mainly. Is there likely to be much difference in performance, speed, picture quality etc? I have an LG OLED TV.
