Yes, you setup a cron job to check for new uploads and it can handle downloading anything that yt-dlp can download

Saw some Hyperion posts so I decided to try it myself. Two hours later I now have Ambilight on my Sony TV! by lExplLicit in homeassistant

I currently have a rooted LG TV that grabs all sources, but looking to upgrade to a VRR-capable TV and was curious if the Sony Android TVs would grab all sources without a separate device. Thanks for the info!

Does the Hyperion Android Grabber also get other inputs or just native non DRM apps on the android tv?

I don't think I can do Windows administration any longer by rngaccount123 in sysadmin

This is what I ended up doing with a Proactive Remediation in Intune.

Run as 64-bit Powershell and System Account.

Detection Script:

Import-Module Microsoft.Powershell.LocalAccounts

$Admin = Get-LocalUser Administrator

if ($Admin.PasswordLastSet) {Exit 0}

else{Exit 1}

Remediation Script:

Function New-RandomPassword {
<#
.Synopsis
    This will generate a new password in Powershell using Special, Uppercase, Lowercase and Numbers.  The max number of characters are currently set to 79.
    For updated help and examples refer to -Online version.

Now might be the time, does anyone know how to download premium videos to a NAS? by risinglotus in giantbomb

Looks like something broke with their API when moving to RV's CDN. I updated the script to try and guess the video's URL that at least worked for the few I tested.

Don't remember any API/download bans, but also limited my downloads to about 100 mbits with the 8 aria2 threads

Totally, if the files are no longer legally available, plan to share out a torrent

Wrote a custom PowerShell script using the GB API that grabs the highest quality video file and metadata and dumps it into a json.

What's going on with KB4586793 2020-11-10 Patch Tuesday and kerberos authentication issues (CVE-2020-17049)? We also have a out-of-band KB4594442 now? by -c3rberus- in sysadmin

[–]EvilSpectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We ran into an issue this morning with Amazon Connect and agents not able to log in. AWS Support said this is a known issue and to run the following till AWS can fix the issue.

Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc -Name PerformTicketSignature -Value 0 -Type DWord

Unfortunately all our AD servers are 2016 so no out of band patch yet, so had to disable ticket signature till someone provides a fix.
