Minidust posted:Been curious about Plex for a while. I assume it allows me to stream non-iTunes formatted video from my computer. Would I then be able to airplay that content to an Apple TV? It'd be cool if I could play any old video on my Apple TV without jailbreaking (even if I have to use my phone as a middle man). xzzy posted:Plex is pretty badass, but for the setup you're describing I think a Chromecast might actually serve you better (which has Plex support). That way you don't have to make your phone the workhorse.. you use it as a remote which is way cooler. You can install Plex to the Apple TV https://blog.plex.tv/2013/06/04/introducing-plexconnect-an-appletv-client-which-thinks-different/

Been using Jasmine for the most part instead which is fine if a bit bare bones. I'm having those same issues, but can't deal w/o Chromecast support. Jasmine is starting to feel like abandonware.

ScarletBrother posted:Sweet! Thanks for the fast reply. Is VLC the go-to app for this sort of thing, or is there a goon-preferred animu watching app? VLC works fine, other than crashing at startup sometimes on iOS 8. You just have to switch your device to a Canadian city in the same timezone to bypass the DRM. I thought it was removed from the store because of a copyright claim by Nokia, though.

Kenny Logins posted:2) Playing a podcast at anything but 1x? Need to unplug your headphone jack? Good chance that the track will play with no sound when you resume, necessitating a force close and restarting the app. Also, the app lost your place. Overcast doesn't have this problem. I've had this problem with all of the major podcast apps on iphone 6+ -- Downcast, Overcast, and Pocket Casts, so YMMV there. Didn't try apple's podcasts cause I gave it enough chances during a full calendar year.

madept posted:Yeah, it's a lot of wasted space just for the Flickr photo. They could eliminate the photo entirely and either cut down the size of the widget by half or use the second row to show a full 5 day forecast. I like Boxer a great deal, but I've been having an issue since 7.1 where it will not go directly to the e-mail I chose when swiping from lock screen, but it will mark that e-mail as read. This is on ipad2, ipad4, 3 iphone 5(not s)s, and iphone 6+. Not terrible, but certainly an annoyance.

Duckman2008 posted:Who here uses Google voice for their phone number? I switched to integrate hangouts before the 6 came out, and it's just really not great to use Voice with Hangouts on my iPhone. There's no toggle between text and hangout message. So I'm almost blindly messaging people, sometimes not sure if I'm getting their number or messaging via hangouts. I just unmarried them in google voice settings, going back to the Google Voice app for texts as well.

You Am I posted:I used to use an app called "Geek News" which would grab headlines from some IT news websites. Sadly the app hasn't been updated for years, and you can't change which sites it looks at for news. Or Flipboard, Zite, and Circa--all of which have curated sections for Tech that draw from similar if not the same sources. The first two are both basically magazines with different interfaces, Circa allows you to keep updated by stitching together a story from multiple sources and giving you a realtime notification with breaking info on stories you select.

Dragonrah posted:I finally decided to take the plunge and get a password manager. First, I downloaded 1Password. I didn’t end up using it because I couldn’t use it with Chrome. I deleted that and picked up Lastpass since it had the bookmarklets that I could use with Chrome. I got it setup fine and the browser in the app works. It will fill the email/username and password fields. I go to Chrome, load up the site I want to test, and then use the bookmarklet by typing the name I assigned to the bookmarklet in the address bar. You don't have the URLS added to the passes in your lastpass vault.

Josh Lyman posted:If a developer makes you pay for an app then stops updating it to make a "new" app that you have to pay for again, that makes the developer a fucker. No, he works on a project for a year or two then sells it to someone else. Also, I'm pretty sure tumblr is his fault. That being said, overcast is very good. Smart speed is useful for anything other than the real comedy podcasts (use it on giant bomb, don't on CBB).

Zigmidge posted:Yeesh hardcore history was a horrible example to use to sell smart speed. That show IS performance art (please don't admit to us publicly that you use it as a learning source). Dan knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to his dramatic beats and volume control. Editing that for him is not cool and kind of disrespectful to his craft - which is he drat good at. I think that's the reason that podcast was used--everyone knows a podcast that is underproduced, but most people are curious what it does to those that are well crafted.

Endless Mike posted:Overcast and Downcast do that for sure. Overcast does it through a third-party server, so there can be a little lag between when a podcast is published and when it pushes it. It seems like a standard part of any podcast app beyond the stock one, I guess. i think he might want the popup when the app is opened as opposed to notification center, but i definitely get a bunch of notifications at 3 am EST on podcast days in Overcast.

ShoogaSlim posted:In my defense: I checked the OP first, and it only offered very basic info about a few podcast apps. Generally, when I enter a new thread with a myriad of pages I go back a page or two to sort of "catch up" on what's being discussed. Podcasts were brought up, but not anything about what I was looking for, specifically. Sorry to poo poo the thread up. Instead of going a page or two back, try devoting your catch-up to a week instead of 50 posts, especially in a thread that is mostly two sentence posts, or use search with the thread id. I’m not trying to be an rear end, this is a genuine suggestion to make getting the information you want quicker. CaptainPsyko posted:

Yeah, gently caress that guy for bringing a different context to the conversation and not just posting another screenshot of what the Verge looks like. maduin posted:absolve yourselves of the capitalist hellscape of iphone advertisements by participating in the consumerist habit of buying an $800 electronic device every two years. I hate buying things; or rather I hate that I enjoy buying things, and have been consciously working on curbing my consumption. Having a 6+, I already can block ads, but if I were still running a 5 I think that the ability to ad block would be enough for me to not only justify the purchase of a new device, but to not feel dirty about it later. It's also good to be reminded during the month of a release to evaluate whether a hardware update would actually benefit you instead of blindly falling into the hype. Riven posted:The first capitalist hellscape is annoying and has a net negative impact on my life. The second is useful and has a net positive impact.

bobfather posted:Whitelisting Facebook then allows all of the ads and trackers that you'd want to block in the first place. And the Facebook app collects insane amounts of data, right down to your location when you're browsing, swipes you make and duration of time you looked at each post. Seems like a pretty reasonable request to allow logins to Facebook, yet block some or most of the ads and tracking that happens to you. Use one of them mobile apps? Isn't reddit one of those where everyone hates the desktop site even on desktop?
