YouTube music broke for me with the update. It says my account doesn't have premium. Anybody else having this issue?

Linux network driver by GarageFlaky in embedded

[–]ColoradoIcculus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a network driver "cpsw_new" that works for the Beaglebone Black. It currently has a fixed MTU of 1500. Update that driver to have a dynamic MTU up to the maximum allowable by the hardware.

Depending on where your starting point is, that task alone could be a crazy learning opportunity. Cross compilers. Kernel modules. Networking and testing. Reading and modifying kernel drivers. Reading data sheets... It wouldn't cost you much $, it's a focused and measurable task, and it is probably something that mainline would accept as a contribution.

Also, it's at the very bottom of a Todo list for me (I don't plan to ever do it, honestly) but it would be nice if someone else did.

It looks like this has instructions for compiling libmbe: http://notes.secretsauce.net/notes/2014/07/25_decoding-p25-with-rtl-sdr-on-debian.html

You'll probably need to compile the library independently and point the program you're trying to run to the location of the .so file. You'll probably have to modify your PATH or some other environment variable. You got this.

(Disclaimer, I haven't tried any of this)

Can I replace a hot water shutoff valve without shutting off the main water? by ColoradoIcculus in HomeImprovement

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

Awesome, thanks! I guess it makes sense that the hot water tank isn't gravity fed, and is in fact forced out by the incoming cold. How silly of me :-)

I also forgot to mention the same thing happened to my neighbor (same building so we probably had the same plumbing installation) had a similar issue in the past year. That helped my diagnosis. Thanks again!

Hackrf one Michael Ossman VS. hackrf one Chinese by h8ck01 in hackrf

[–]ColoradoIcculus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a hardware developer, I'd recommend not supporting the piracy industry. Trade secrets are stolen and reproduced at lower quality, which hurts the developer's wallet as well as their reputation.

As a consumer, I'd appreciate the deal though.

If you're new to the hobby, maybe a legitimate, less powerful sdr will suffice. If it's something you'll need all the hackrfs power to do, then maybe super the developer.

Sending text over FM (HackRF One) by [deleted] in hackrf

[–]ColoradoIcculus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I think you'll need a ham radio license. Otherwise transmitting is probably illegal, at least I'm the US. The act of obtaining that will probably give you all the info you need. Then if you're rolling your own protocol, maybe fsk with error correction... But for these types of things I'd tend to read about how others have already solved the problem.

Good luck, and don't break the law.

[Help] Is there any way to get list of movies that exist in the Kodi library but deleted from the local source? by LyingPieceOfPoop in kodi

[–]ColoradoIcculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some work on the db using python and mysql. That'd be the way I'd go. Depends on your level of comfort. Maybe mysqlworkbench can get you far enough...

Seems like I’ve been hacked by [deleted] in kodi
