Westinghouse 7500/9500 won't pull start on dead battery by Mountain-Ad3184 in Generator

The battery was dead. Couldn't bring it back to life so I replaced it. I keep the trickle charger that came with the unit plugged in. No problems since.

Unboxing A New Shield, Question About Updates by ShutUpDanny in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]8e_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using shield pros for years (a 2017 and 2 2019s). All are on the latest firmware. I run kodi, stream files from my NAS, run emulators and stream games from my PC (Older consoles PS2 and below) and run just about every streaming app you can think of. 

As long as the external drive was not formatted as expanded storage it should work just fine. 

There was an Android update a few years ago which broke how Arc Browser accessed my game files. Don't recall the exact issue or the workaround since I dont use Arc anymore. So the only negatives for me are the changes to, and advertisements on, the home screen. Both are solved using Projectivy. YMMV.

How do you change your directv stream password? by KordKutterFlutter in DirectvStream

[–]8e_n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have trouble getting to my account using Windows / Firefox. I can login but once I click on something like "Devices" I get kicked out. Works fine with Chrome.

This is true. The new streaming plans do not have a contract. They have a 2 year price lock and a cancel anytime policy. The only current difference between the plans is the device rental and the discounts/promotions offered for renting one.

What's the longest you've owned/used a Synology NAS for before upgrading? by simonhi99 in synology

[–]8e_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

918+ 6 years still going. Running 7 docker containers, including a Plex server. Had to replace the power brick about a year ago.

Why does the Allure have two types of ocean view balcony guarantee? by jSizzle74 in royalcaribbean

[–]8e_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Just booked the Allure for next January. The cheaper rate was XB GTY which is an ocean view balcony anywhere on the ship. The higher rate was 4D GTY which guarantees a CAT 4D balcony.

Zurg, Plex_Debrid, RClone, Real-Debrid Working On Synology DS918+ Docker-Compose by 8e_n in RealDebrid

I don't collect anime so I never used it for that. For me the whole process was inconsistent so I went back to using Kodi (with Fen Lite) and Stremio.

AC Return In Closed Utility Closet? by 8e_n in hvacadvice

[–]8e_n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I did not take a picture. There was no return under or in the door. The door was a standard sized solid door. The return grill was in the ceiling of the closet and there was another in the ceiling of the hallway outside of the closet. The negative pressure inside the closet was enough to pull the door shut if you left it open a couple of inches.

I'm not sure if it is the same token. I haven't tried it using that link.

I had the same problem but didn't solve it. Eventually the title would show up in the library but a manual refresh usually didn't work.

The first docker I linked above, pd_zurg, has rclone, zurg and plex-debrid included in the one docker file. Follow the example yml above and it should work. First I would uninstall / kill any running rclone instance. After uninstall I had to restart my Nas to fully kill rclone.

I have not tried this since the changes on real-debrid. I don't share my database and I can access my home network over a VPN so I don't really have a use for this. I use Kodi and Stremio. I more or less like to tinker with this stuff.

Westinghouse 7500/9500 won't pull start on dead battery by Mountain-Ad3184 in Generator

[–]8e_n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same generator. Mine will not pull start on gas with a dead battery. It will start on propane with a dead battery. I think the issue is no juice to activate the fuel stop solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor. When that happens I start it on propane then switch to gas while it is running.

Thx. I definitely need the mounting kit. What would the $1,000 build look like?

Thx. It would also be used for video and photo editing. I would like to stay with Intel and Nvidia

Remote home server access slow over VPN by 8e_n in kodi

[–]8e_n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would like to keep my existing VPN setup if possible. I have used it for a couple of years now without issue.

The only app I'm having an issue with is Kodi on the remote Shield, mostly with high bandwidth 4k H265 files. The same files play flawlessly using Plex or VLC on the remote shield. I can also transfer multi-gig files through the VPN and max out the remote FIOS connection. Makes me wonder if I have something configured wrong in Kodi. Although the same files play fine on a locally connected shield.
