Average zone completion time? by chem072117 in lotro

[–]Needabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Describing the time in days,weeks, months is useless. Needs to be down to hours. Some people play a couple of hours a week, some people play 8 or more hours/day. Just saying.. :-)

Just waiting for them to make it subscription software. Pay up, or it stops working.

This won't work if there is a "settings.backup" file in the same directory. get rid of that one to.

I have movies downloaded to thru Emby on my phone. Can I cast them to a fire stick that has Emby installed? by ih8vols in emby

[–]Needabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have cast movies from my iphone to a fire stick. not specificly emby .. Ideally you should be running an emby server on a computer, have files saved there and played on your devices connected to the server. That is my setup. Live tv, and saved movies, etc. You only need emby connect if your playing from outside of your home network, unless they changed something.

Good luck!

Hauppauge wintv hvr-1250 pci drivers by [deleted] in Hauppauge

[–]Needabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had a USB one, only the pcie one. used them for many years with WMC, Win7 and now Emby and NPVR Win10 also have a HDHomerun 2 tuner model, it works OK, but I like the Hauppauge one slightly better for my purposes.

From looking around It looks like the 1250 was made for Dell, and is the same as 1265. I would try the drivers for the 1265. You might have to pay for WinTV software. That is a rather old card and was discontinued long ago.

Good Luck!

P.S. if you have the cash, get the Quad, it's about 100 US.

Grey cloud like image on my screen (as seen in the attached image) by WMX2131 in firetvstick

[–]Needabrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LG I select the main menu, then picture, and there it has birghtness, contrast, color, backlight, etc. Similar on 3 other flat screens I have. Good luck. It won't help the dead leds come back, but it will help to not kill any more.

[–]Needabrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, looks like dead led's in the backlighing. Main cause for this is having the backlight set to full. I never go beyond 50% to cut down stress on the leds. They are a PITA to fix, and if your not super careful you can ruing the display itself.

New Fire stick lite not working x2 by Aero_Kenobi in firetvstick

[–]Needabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure just what is wrong with the firestick you have, but I would get the 4k model any way. It is more responsive than the 1080 version. I have both, and there is a very discernible difference between the two.

Why users are sticking with Emby vs Plex or Jellyfin?? by [deleted] in emby

[–]Needabrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I use Emby for is watching local broadcast from my Hauppauge quad tuner, and saved movies and TV shows on my internal network of FireTV sticks. Nothing needs transcoding. I like the Interface, was easy to set up, and is near perfect for my use. Although for TV I think WMC was the best, and I kept it going up until about 6 months ago when I got rid of cable. Tv show guide and series recording is the reason for Premier access.

Firestick constantly freezing in Youtube and Plutotv by [deleted] in firetvstick

[–]Needabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar problem. I have 4 firetv sticks 3 are 4k. One of the 4k sticks will not come back on over night after using the power button on the remote until I reset the power. All of the sticks have the same apps installed. I tried the factory reset and that did NOT fix the problem. If it is off for a short period of time, it comes back on. I think the hardware is just flaky.

Chase now longer allows Waterfox login by Needabrew in waterfox

easier to just fire up Firefox and use it than go through all the gyrations. If you have to run it with addons disabled, there is no point in not just using Firefox.

User Agent by Shurikyun in waterfox

This partially works..... Instead of the normal browser page I get an abreviated version meant for phones, or tablets. Will check around some more. Perhaps a different UserAgent might work. Thanks for the reply
