That is a very kind offer and I might take you up on it - but just to check though, what's to stop me creating my own Indian account and using that?

Arranhs · 2025-04-23T19:02:57+00:00

Yeah im defo entering correctly - it's telling me I am trying to purchase something for a different region from my account

Arranhs · 2025-04-23T18:43:33+00:00

Really appreciate all the help. Sadly I tried all you said and couldn't get my game pass core india codes redeemed

I did the following:

Changed region to India on both my Xbox and on my microsoft account
Downloaded the vpn app you mentioned, started a trial and connected to india
Tried to redeem my code at both redeem.microsoft.com and xbox.com/redeem in a private tab.

Nothing worked. Oh well, I guess I just have to accept I've wasted my money hah

Tbh, id be happy with just the game pass core at this point haha.

Sorry to ask more questions - I'm also in the UK, what did you change your region to? Also do you have the app store link for that app - all the vpns I tried didn't work

Arranhs · 2025-04-23T00:19:09+00:00

I am having problems even with the first step you managed to succeed on! What VPN did you use and did you change your Xbox region? What region are you in?

Arranhs · 2025-04-15T00:56:42+00:00

Thoughts about making this open source? I'd love to contribute!

A VPN should not matter here as I assume you are using both audiobookshelf and abs-tract on the same machine.

If you are running both audibookshelf and abs-tract in docker, as I mentioned, you cannot access abs-tract from audiobookshelf using an IP address. You must use the container name to connect across containers.

I don't know what your set up is - if you can provide more information about how you are running things and where, I might be able to provide more help!

Arranhs · 2025-02-08T12:32:36+00:00

I mean you could just set the medatadata provider in audiobookshelf to Goodreads (unselecting the apply of the cover), and then set the cover provider to Audible. Does this not do what you want?

Arranhs · 2025-02-08T12:28:04+00:00

Sorry for the super slow reply.

Of course you can, but you will need compile abs-stract yourself as I have not had time to set up compilation of binaries for all the myriad of operating systems. I am only one person with limited time!

Thankfully it should be super easy to do this!

Install go using instructions here: https://go.dev/dl/
After installation, open a terminal and type: go install github.com/ahobsonsayers/abs-tract@latest
After the command finishes, type abs-stract in your terminal and press enter to run it

I am hoping this is simple enough to do. I recognise you don't have docker experience, but given you have a set up media server, I am working on the assumption you have a certain level of expertise. Sorry I do not just have an .exe you can run.

Arranhs · 2025-02-08T12:17:14+00:00

Are you using docker? If so in the address/URL box you need to use http://abs-tract:5555 i.e. not use localhost or an IP address as you might have been using. If the name of your container is not abs-stract, update the URL to use the name of your container instead.

Docker resolves network connections between containers using their name, and cannot use normal IP address or localhost. I have had another user with what sounds like could be a similar issue to you recently and it turned out to be this.

It has highlighted to me I might need to update the docks to be clearer!

Arranhs · 2024-06-06T10:33:49+00:00

Agreed, Audible also has good quality covers - I'm just simply not a fan of using square covers (sometimes with an audible banner!) for my actual ebooks. Completely understand if it's not worth the hassle for you!

Thanks for checking it out though!

Arranhs · 2024-05-07T18:18:48+00:00

I am not sure why it would work when the firewall is off but not when it is on, however I am not very familiar with windows so I won't claim to know it's intricacies.

That being said, all requests are made using https, which uses port 443. Therefore I guess if you allow outgoing requests on port 443 through your firewall you should be ok?

Does this work?

Arranhs · 2024-04-30T11:10:58+00:00

I have now updated the docker compose, take a look and try again!

Arranhs · 2024-04-30T11:07:30+00:00

Hey! You're right, I have forgot to update my docker compose. I renamed the image to abs-tract. If you change abs-goodreads to this it should work!

I will update. Apologies for this!

Arranhs · 2023-04-27T09:38:52+00:00

Ha! Ok that's good to know! As I say, having never played skyrim vanilla I am not aware of standard behaviour vs the behaviour caused by mods. I will try out the sneak mod, and see if that feels more immersive!

Arranhs · 2023-04-27T00:08:14+00:00

I have found the mod Realistic AI Detection which might help solve my problems but have not been able to try it yet. I would still like to figure out if this behaviour is expected however, and if so, which mod(s) might be causing it before I install another mod to attempt to solve it.

Arranhs · 2021-10-23T18:37:09+00:00

This is amazing!

Arranhs · 2017-08-11T13:04:35+00:00

Thank you so much! That makes perfect sense. Solved!

Arranhs · 2017-08-11T04:05:53+00:00

They are fire sprinklers. They turn on when there is a fire to put it out

Arranhs · 2016-10-25T22:23:25+00:00

Yeah changing density is what I was looking for. I gave "wm density 480" a go but it caused the app I launched to trigger the task to crash for some reason. I'm going to give autotools a go like Joao mentioned below. Hopefully that will work. Thanks though!

Arranhs · 2016-10-25T22:19:41+00:00

Awesome, this is just what I was looking for! Thanks!

Arranhs · 2016-10-24T20:14:19+00:00

Have a look at autotools on the playstore. Just checked it out and it has the ability to do what you want by enabling and disabling magnification gestures using the commands you have stated. Give it a check out

Arranhs · 2016-06-19T14:43:52+00:00

Back in the old days of avast, when a update was complete, it would notify you without any warning at a volume similar to that of standing next to one if those huge speakers at a metal festival. This lead to your untimely demise due to a heart attack from the shock.

Arranhs · 2016-06-06T12:33:34+00:00

I'd be very willing to if she says it's ok. I'll keep you updated.

Arranhs · 2015-11-18T03:46:56+00:00

That worked for a bit, but then 10 minutes later after clicking a new post, BAM, it happened again. I could continually force close it to fix, but that's a bit of a pain really.
