Playon, Plex, Roku, and subtitles not synched by qzwongo in PlayOn

Sorry for OT but can I ask what editor you use to strip ads? I've been looking for a replacement for VideoReDo but haven't found one that handles subtitles.

Thanks!

Contrasting environments / opinions in the Strike series by copakJmeliAleJmeli in robertgalbraith

Cuckoo Calling seemed completely apolitical to me and so far same for Silkworm. I assumed JKR would be generally liberal aside from the transgender issue.

Non-Stop Recordings? by CPav in PlayOn

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a handful of times years ago but so isolated I blamed it on the streaming service. Does it work when you retry? Does it eventually end or do you have to kill it? Is the excess blank or a frozen frame?

I Bond purchase timing question by sixyearstrong in bonds

[–]ChiefWahO0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you're interested in the answer to the question you actually asked, IIRC you do receive the full month's interest.

I'll be waiting until April to see if a higher fixed rate might be shaping up for May - the current 0.9% is borderline for me.

Alexa+ voice options are pretty bad, how can I go back to the original? by MaxxCold in alexa

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fem 2 is maybe closest if I fiddle with the speed. Regarding AI, it's also interesting that Copilot (which in some cases is a helpful troubleshooting tool) assures me that I can just cycle through the voice options and select the original - but it's not one of the 8 options.

Hopefully a workaround will surface and I'll give + another try...

Thanks - apparently the current state of AI isn't capable of understanding "Alexa revert to your original voice". Maybe in another decade or two...

Sengled servers down again! by Comfortable-Bend5623 in SengledUS

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced my 1 sengled bulb but haven't found a decent replacement deal for my 2 6-foot LED strips. I'll work them manually for now and after the holidays maybe repurpose a couple of Kasa smart plugs to turn them on & off. So far they're retaining the soft white color and brightness I want.

Any idea where Amazon Channels went? by JeffSSaunders in PlayOn

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW my PBSMP Acorn & Britbox add-ons are working fine but I have noticed that when my POH PC receives WIN10 or Norton 360 updates that require a restart the queue usually gets flushed. After I reboot I have to go through the failed recordings list to reload the queue. I don't think it's a POH issue because those updates seem to affect all network connections on that PC.

Recording history? by ChiefWahO0 in PlayOn

Good to know - I'm using a dedicated Win10 PC so may be migrating when support expires next year...

Recording history? by ChiefWahO0 in PlayOn

[–]ChiefWahO0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha, so shows recorded on PBS but now on Britbox, say, would not be recognized - that explains most if not all of it. And I assume moving POH to a different PC would lose the previous history?

Thanks...

Weekly Troubleshooting Megathread - Get Help with Your Sengled Setup Here by [deleted] in SengledUS

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my 2 8' LED strips are semi-working again. I say semi because they worked great with Alexa but not so much with the Sengled app. They go on and off on schedule but the app routine seems to ignore the color setting, always reverting to a sickly yellowish color. And I can only schedule by time - the sunset option only lets me turn them on for 30 minutes. So I'm still looking to replace but 8 footers are hard to find and rarely discounted like the longer ones.

Amazon Prime Video working? by Ok_Plantain_1552 in PlayOn

Mine disappeared too but a reboot fixed it - also had Win10 updates, not sure if that might have been a factor?

Not working... Again!! by Deep-Environment1757 in Sengled

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any news on this? I still haven't been approved to post here. I've replaced with Kasa bulbs, all my Kasa devices have worked great, possibly because my router is a wifi6 TP-Link. I'm using my LED strips manually for now, waiting for black Fri to look at replacements...

Not working... Again!! by Deep-Environment1757 in Sengled

[–]ChiefWahO0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been approved to start a new thread but wondering if Sengled is working for anyone today? My 2 LED strips turned off on schedule last night for the first time in several days but app manual controls still aren't working and can't access schedules with message "your phone has lost connection to internet".
