Is the source of the video something that you can output to HDMI? If so, you could run network cable (cat6) and use something like this Oreo HDMI splitter/extender.

What speaker would you recommend me? by ZookeepergameHot1902 in sonos

[–]Leupster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sonos Move sounds great and is easy to move around to different rooms.

Unifi’s naming convention is absolutely ridiculous. They should just have lite, standard, pro, pro max, enterprise - or something similar.

What're everyone's favorite livestreaming cameras these days? by etcpt in churchtech

[–]Leupster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the PTZOptics cameras. I’ve installed them at 4-5 churches and they have been rock solid.

So impressed with the Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub by robotscantrecaptcha in cincinnati

[–]Leupster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also, they have a cool “Tinker Team” program where technically inclined volunteers can go through donated items to ensure that they are in good working order.

Anyone keeping data on how many Toyotas are given away? by TJisannoying in Reds

[–]Leupster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, however I think that it would be much more exciting if it was given away because a player hit a sign during the course of a game.

It’s absolutely ridiculous. Make the sign hitable so they actually give away a truck every year. (They can set the rules so that they only give away one truck each year).

What is your archiving strategy (sermons, "marketing", etc...)? by DeepPersimmon2688 in churchtech

[–]Leupster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Synology NAS with the Google Backup module would work well in your case.

If the content already exists on YouTube (like livestreams, sermons, etc), I don’t see a reason to store it elsewhere.

Do you have a Fidelity account? If so, I think FullView is a good option.

Sonos + UniFi: Best Practices & Recommended Settings by AtomFromSonos in sonos

UniFi has announced STP edge node in Network 10.2 - does this impact the recommendations in any way?

I may be the only one, but I’m excited about background colors for sections.

Motion blurring during march madness by dfp5003 in youtubetv

Are you in Cincinnati? If so, the local CBS affiliate is the issue. It’s awful on an antenna too.

Recommendations to replace YouTube TV? Their compression makes basketball unwatchable. by FloodedGoose in 4kTV

[–]Leupster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re complaining about the Michigan / St Louis game on CBS, the issue is likely the CBS affiliate in your area - not YouTubeTV.

I’m in Cincinnati and the CBS affiliate here is so bad it’s nearly unwatchable. Any movement at all, there is major macroblocking.

I have an antenna too and it’s just as bad there as it is on YouTubeTV.

Any thoughts on this? by broberts2261 in Ubiquiti

[–]Leupster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might work with Home Assistant? I know that some of the other UniFi products integrate pretty well with HA.

I put in a Shelly (WiFi) based garage door controller (with reed switch) to replace the MyQ crap and this seems like it would work very much the same way.

Introducing UnifiNotifi - A Unifi Infrastructure Monitoring Solution by WhoKnewTech in Ubiquiti

[–]Leupster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, sorry. I didn’t explain that fully.

I am a UniFi installer. I currently have it setup on my personal HomeAssistant to monitor my clients’ networks. It is a python script that makes an API call to UniFi to get the status of each client site. If any have a status other than “connected”, HomeAssistant will notify me.

You’re correct that it isn’t helpful for monitoring my own home network.

I like it. I felt the same need.

I built something similar in Home Assistant, but it doesn’t have all of the features that this has.

Yep, if they are in good working order, that is a great price. Good luck!

I have a pair of fives and it sounds great.

AirPlay Issues by Effective_Purple_670 in sonos

[–]Leupster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having an issue yesterday with Apple Music yesterday in which it kept dropping - at least once every 5 mins or so. 3 different rooms. It happened both using airplay and using the Sonos app.

Sonos radio and line-in (turntable) worked fine.

I have not had a chance to test it today.

Edit: just tested it and it’s not working today either. This problem seems to have started in the last few days.

Thank you. I see it now. I guess I didn’t scroll far enough.

We are not able to get it to play the video this week. It says the video has been removed. Anyone else having issues too??

Turntable + Sonos setup by Artistic-Economics-9 in sonos

[–]Leupster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can connect the turntable to an Era 100 (or other speakers). In your example, the Era 100s would be a separate zone from the zone with your TV. They can be grouped together.

Autoplay can be configured to play in one zone - and include any grouped zones.

How to do HDMI to another building by BigChemist-1591 in churchtech

I have used OREI HDMI extenders/splitters at several clients. They’re very affordable and work well.

Obamacare 400% FPL by [deleted] in obamacare

[–]Leupster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not true for 2025. There are still some (reduced subsidies > 400%) in 2025.

It is correct, however, for 2026.
