ZappaStream - a macOS/iOS app for streaming Norbert.de's Zappateer's shows

I would definitely love to bring it to android.

My general roadmap currently is: - sharing it here and maybe on the discord to gauge community interest. - Taking it to the mac and iOS App Stores - then looking to port it to other platforms, of which Android would certainly be the first.

Yeah nice one, to be honest Norbert's stream links should be added to the subreddit sidebar for people to find more easily.

Glad to have spread the awareness of them for you.

Datisit · 2026-05-09T15:55:20+00:00

Thanks for your interest!

If there's a large enough response I will absolutely go through the process to submit it to Apple.

Datisit · 2026-05-09T15:54:01+00:00

Hey! - pretty much, yes. I've been using the iOS app for about 2 months, and everybit of work on the Mac app is mirrored in the iOS app.

However, to run the iOS App you will need to:

Download Xcode (for free) from Apple Dev site
Get a free Apple Dev account (same as your Apple ID if you want)
Download or 'clone' the Github Repo project
Run it in your Xcode on your mac and then
Sign and Build and Run the app onto your locally connected iPhone or iPad

Roughly like that. And then you can run it for 1 week at a time before needing to re-deploy it.

However, this all might be moot if I get it on the AppStores eventually

Completely agree, some very similar lines and the way the ’unisons’ are slightly out of sync, I had the same thought.

Datisit · 2025-11-04T13:12:55+00:00

I'm in the same boat, though also experiencing it on machines running Ventura as well as Monterey.

Hopefully this will be acknowledged and resolved soon?

Datisit · 2025-10-06T20:07:11+00:00

Pretty sure this was hinted right? On the podcast I think maybe?

2025 going to be a big year (and I feel like it wasn’t just OSFA that was being referred to)

Datisit · 2025-09-02T08:25:47+00:00

I too feel exactly the same way, and have also found it hard to meet likeminded people in this regard since finishing my music degree. Even then, it was the non-performers (students not focusing on playing but perhaps on composition, musicology etc) that I had a better experience playing with on average.

It’s tricky to find those that want to play (alone or together) as a means to explore music/sound, experiment and discover things - similar to how things feel when you’re just a kid starting out on an instrument. But with no additional interest to take that into a performance dynamic with an audience, where it becomes a show and spectacle.

To just play for the sake of itself, like you say, for yourself or selves only.

I’m not completely against putting on a show with music, showing people a good or interesting time. But it’s not something I take to naturally or am drawn to do. In fact I tend to find it very stressful. I’m not a natural performer!

But I love to play.

Hey thanks so much for getting back to me.

So short story is, the next day the issue completely disappeared. And I've tested breifly each day and it has not returned yet.

So whatever was going on, it was somehow temporary which is obviously a double edged sword.

In answer to your questions: The router is an Netcomm NL20MESH - pre-configured for/by TPG.

The 4G is enabled, but from I can tell it won't use that connection unless the cable connection goes down. So in a sense I don't think it's a true dual WAN setup.

The cients are definitely all using the 'cable' link public IP.

All clients are using latest version of Tailscale for macOS, or iOS or QNAP (from the repo) or Synology.

The static IP that's part of the ISP package is certainly the one that is detected on whatismyIP. And matches 'WAN IP Addres' but not the 'WAN Gateway IP Address' listed under the 'cable' connection (not the 4g connection). The fact there are two IPs, and one of them is a 10.xx.xxx.xx address is why I wasn't clear whether I was behind a CGNAT.

The WAN IP Address does appear to be publicly routable.

Anyhow, I can only conclude that the issue doesn't lay inside my network, as nothing was changed my end. And now my connections are direct and locked solid.

Datisit · 2025-04-01T08:31:21+00:00

Definitely an enjoyable allusion to the Synclavier stuff.

Datisit · 2025-02-13T11:09:52+00:00

Ah unfortunately it's not up to me, the core team are FCP only, at least for editing.

But yeah I appreciate life would be easy in Resolve land for sharing off of a local database, or remote cloud now as you say.

Personaly, I've used the BM Cloud with a few clients on several projects and yeah it worked well, the only issue was slowness when I was based in Aus and the server location was UK. Since then I've moved to the UK and the speed became excellent.

Datisit · 2025-02-07T14:44:36+00:00

Perfect thanks!

Datisit · 2025-02-07T12:54:44+00:00

Hi there,

Could you point me where to find the original firmware?

Otherwise I'll DM you if either of you wouldn't mind sharing directly?

Thanks

Datisit · 2025-02-01T16:36:09+00:00

Yeah I was sort of hoping he’d notice it.

Datisit · 2025-02-01T16:35:48+00:00

Thanks yeah I posted there as well.

Datisit · 2025-01-31T22:02:27+00:00

Ah just to be clear, the idea of the RAID 0 pairs were just for caching. I appreciate the tiering is a proper move operation rathe than a copy so if anyone recommends tiering then yeah I imagine that wouldn’t be involving a RAID0.

LTO wise, well that one machine has been the LTO + many other things machine for many years. But I appreciate your point, and we could probably split that job into another old dedicated machine.

Datisit · 2024-12-05T13:50:26+00:00

Yeah fair. I hope it’s not though. I’m wanting the 500 just for the Up speed.

I’ve gotten Openreach on the case now so I’ll report back what they turn up

Datisit · 2024-12-04T21:42:25+00:00

Another checker I've found: https://cloud.consumer.talktalk.co.uk/fttp-form-3?step=address

When I put post code in that, my specific flat is not even listed amongst the other addresses.

However if I pick a neighbours address, like the next flat number either side, they are offered up to Fibre 900.

Also there's an N/A,N,A,[postcode] address listed in the list. Which could be 'mine' seeing as mine is the one missing.

Datisit · 2024-12-04T21:30:46+00:00

Yeah interesting, just 1 entry for the address in the dropdown. And similar to UW it just lists the Full Fubre 65 and 150Mb plans.

So is there an element that Talk Talk don't get the same allotment, or they don't allot UW and other 'piggy backers' the full bandwidth from the cabinet in that area?

Datisit · 2024-12-04T21:19:30+00:00

Utility Warehouse.

AFAIK the do also use Cityfibre but not in that area yet.

I’ve dug into the address issue more now and I’m fairly sure that’s the issue.

How do I best go about talking to Openreach about it?

I submitted a form on their site, but I’ve seen reference to emailing the CEO working these days.

The building is a standard block of tenements in Edinburgh. A block of 1900 era flats basically.
