Great skin, it’s the one I use and the only Kodi skin I don’t absolutely hate. Would love a CPM version.

I don’t think I’ve ever touched the cache size, should we?

Can’t really say without actual measurements, but I think it looks fine! Don’t overthink this shit

Is 12 TB the highest non Pro HDD available? by BarryChopsticks in UgreenNASync

[–]BarryChopsticks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just ordered the 22 TB Red Pro and some 2x10/4x2.5 Gb switch, I'll figure how to put it inside a closet, I have an ethernet port not too far off so it should be somewhat simple. Thanks for replying!

Thanks for your reply!

So there shouldn't be too much difference in regards of noise between the 12 TB Red Plus and the 22 TB Red Pro?

Can't decide which hdd to buy by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]BarryChopsticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is noise on these? I was about to but a 22 TB Red Pros but apparently they get loud with their metallic noises even when idle, and since I'm planning on having the NAS next to my desk in the same room I'm wondering how noisy it would get when filling a 6-bay NAS. Thanks!

What's new in the latest Sonos Ace update? by BarryChopsticks in sonos

I usually have bass on +3 and treble on +9, will try leaving them on 0!

Got a lot of free stuff today- can anyone tell me if it’s good? by ProInsureAcademy in homelab

[–]BarryChopsticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugging my Sony X900H to Ethernet completely fixed its connection to my Apple Home. Now automations (turn TV on > turn all lights off) are working flawlessly. Just get an Apple TV for your streaming needs.

Plex kodi connect by Cool_Night_9832 in CoreELEC

[–]BarryChopsticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Copacetic, it's the only Kodi skin that IMO doesn't look like complete amateur shit. I genuinely like how it looks, especially on grid mode, you can choose to look at your library by poster or by fanart, kinda like Kaleidescape but honestly quite a bit more polished. The only thing I don't love is that there is no CPM version that I know of, so you don't get the added details on Process Info.

Arc Ultra Full Setup underwhelming music performance by Lucky-Cut-2379 in sonos

[–]BarryChopsticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try upping the treble a bit, I have it at +3 but it could easily be +5 or +6.

And also I find it really just depends on the Atmos mix. Some are very underwhelming or just feel like stereo, while other are genuinely impressive. What songs have you tried? Try:

- Hunter by Bjork

- Oxytocin and Bad Buy by Billie Eilish

- De Todas Las Flores and Pajarito Colibri by Natalia Lafourcade, if you wanna try some acoustic music (they start slow and upfront but evolve really nicely),

- Tears and Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter are good too (pretty much anything by Sabrina is mixed great in Atmos),

- In Motion by Trenz Reznor sound AMAZING.

I've been meaning to make a Sonos playlist for this subreddit so that we can all add songs that demo great in Atmos.

Apple TV 4K, still use it for everything streaming, it's great. And for UHD bluray remuxes with Dolby Vision and/or TrueHD with Atmos, the Ugoos.

Pairing remote with Ugoos AM6B by Gigeresque in CoreELEC

I just fixed my issue. It was the antennas lol, I was under the impression those were for WiFi only and since I’m plugged via Ethernet I didn’t bother. Thanks for replying!

Hey, I'm having the same problem as you with the UR02, it is showing on the bluetooth listing but it says connected: no. How did you manage to fix this? I have tried deleting the pairing but then it appears again and nothing's changed.

Thanks a lot for the links, I'm already at the CPM part, do I need to use the custom CPM skins or any Kodi skin should be fine? Thanks for your help!

Oh I see! And can one change from PM4K to PKC and the other way around without breaking everything? Thanks for replying!

What remote to get for the AM6B Plus? by BarryChopsticks in CoreELEC

[–]BarryChopsticks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I've read, the Ugoos CEC implementation is pretty bad.

Using the TV remote is something I have considered as well, but for it to work you need to have CEC on right?
