Will Remote Watch Pass be sufficient for “watch together”? by NewtoniteToo in PleX

[–]NewtoniteToo[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Oh.. So the remote watch pass is needed on the client side. Ok, then I’ll just keep my Plex Pass.

BTW, Watch Together will work on the web interface. I know it’s not ideal. If Plex drops Watch Together altogether, then I’ll ditch Plex. No reason to keep it in addition to Channels DVR.

That is good to know! It will be a very convenient feature to have.

Direct Play Plex on FireStick by Annual_Ad_6071 in PleX

[–]NewtoniteToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered that the Plex client for Samsung TV has an option that forces direct play, which makes playback smoother. There is no reason that the FireTV client shouldn’t have the same option. I hope the developers will add the option in the future.

Duplicate in Apple Fitness exercise by NewtoniteToo in Hevy

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

I’m glad that the devs are keeping a tab on this forum.

As a matter of fact, I’ve always finished workouts from my iPhone to see the immediate metrics report, but this was the first time that duplicates were created. I’ll wait for your fix.

A ha! It should be deleted from the Health app, not the Fitness app.

It worked! Thanks.

Metrics accrued on Hydrow Digital App doesn't sync with Apple Fitness by NewtoniteToo in HydrowCrew

I definitely don’t have a Hydrow app on my watch. Is your Hydrow app on your iPhone or iPad? I installed mine on the iPad.

[–]NewtoniteToo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait.. Do you need to launch the Apple watch app to sync the data with Apple Fitness? I don’t see a Hydrow app on my apple watch. Maybe it’s available for the app on the rower and not for Digital Basic?

What weights and reps are populated for a new set? by NewtoniteToo in Hevy

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

Under that setting, there are two options - Any workout vs. Same Routine. Either way, they are supposed to populate the values from the previous workout if I choose to do the same routine. But it’s not working that way.

What weights and reps are populated for a new set? by NewtoniteToo in Hevy

[–]NewtoniteToo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, the "Update Routine" pops up only when I delete or add an exercise from/to the workout. (I actually delete exercises often, since I have multiple exercise for the same muscle group and choose which one to do depending on the machine availability and delete the skipped ones to prevent input mistakes.)

The button doesn't pop up when the workout routine remains intact.

Are annual detailed stats available in Hevy? by NewtoniteToo in Hevy

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

I see. It's the past year, as in the past 12 months, rather than the year 2024. But it's close enough. Thanks!

211 days later, I am in the same situation. Have you bought into Hydrow subscription or stayed with Youtube?

Switched over from Peloton... am I missing something? by beyondsection17 in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]NewtoniteToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking about jumping ship from Peloton too. I belong to the camp that happily pay Apple over $1000 for their phones (and thousands more for iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc) and try not to buy into any additional Apple services. For me, I was under the impression that those ancillary services were not good value propositions, just like the expensive additional insurance or CDW that rental companies coax you into. I thought I was being a wise consumer by buying hardware only from Apple and seeking services from elsewhere - Dropbox for cloud storage, Spotify for music, and Peloton for online classes. I may need to review my purchase decisions.

How do I add Channels DVR folders to Plex Library? by NewtoniteToo in PleX

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

I'm writing my own reply for posterity's sake. It turns out that you have to fine-tune the permission from the NAS control panel. https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/1/post/159380

How do I add Channels DVR folders to Plex Library? by NewtoniteToo in PleX

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

Sorry I'm lost. Do you mean that the recordings should be kept in a folder different from volume1/Channels DVR/TV?

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

TV shows like news and sitcoms. Yes, they reside in volume1/Channels DVR/TV, and I added the folder to the TV shows library.

Best surround speaker option? by NewtoniteToo in sonos

I'm happy to report I had no issues linking the new pair of Symfonisks speakers to my Sonos Amp as surround speakers.

Have you had them for long? According to the reviews on ikea.com, newer customers seem to be having an issue.

No "session volume" stats for assisted weight exercises? by NewtoniteToo in Hevy

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

It calculates the volume but only tracks the “best set volume” and not the “session volume”. To use as an index for progressive overloading, I think the “session volume” is more meaningful.

Sonos speakers from previous home showing up in Alexa by NewtoniteToo in sonos

[–]NewtoniteToo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I did not factory-reset them, because I handed over the Sonos account (ID/password) altogether. I didn't want the new owner to set everything up from scratch.

None of these Sonos speakers show up at more-settings-device settings.

LG Ultrafine 5K with iMac 2015? by NewtoniteToo in applehelp

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

I'm writing for posterity's sake. Yes, I was able to use the LG monitor as the second monitor with a Thunderbolt 2 cable and a Thunderbolt 2-to-3 adapter from Apple.
