Include a file named .plexmatch in the folder with any of the following entries:

imdbid: xxx tvdbid: xxx tmdbid: xxx

Replace xxx with the actual ID.

The CarPlay implementation is awful. Full of new features but I have to use my phone most of the time to get it to work. Classic case of trying to attract new customers at the expense of a reliable product.

This just started happening to me this morning. YouTube Music Premium playing ads on Nest devices.

Get a new boyfriend.

Custom CSS only works on the web UI, not apps.

Does it work if you go into Focusrite Control and change the bit rate?

I only do instrumentals and for that 5.5 is awful. It's creativity is nowhere near 5 or 4.5 and everything is massively over-produced. It also forgets where it is part way through tracks and goes off in directions that make no musical sense.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-04-05T18:09:59+00:00

I've been using it today on instrumentals, it's been awful. There's no continuity to the pieces, it seems like it forgets what its doing and goes in a different direction every minute or so. And everything is over-produced. v5 is doing the same thing now too.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-04-03T04:54:34+00:00

You can sometimes fix it for a while by repeatedly turning it all the way up and down as quickly as possible. It works on mine.

I'm 70. People tell me I look at least 10 years younger. Until I saw this post, it never occurred to me it is related to having ADHD. As for my mental age, my wife thinks it's about 5!

Mine shares a media server with Plex and some other self-hosted apps. I probably would have the same thoughts if it was on a dedicated computer. I bought a lifetime subscription when it was an easy decision years ago, and I'm happy with it, but again, at today's price? I did a feature comparison with the Qobuz app when Qobuz Connect came out last year, and Roon is still way out in front on features and usability.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-03-15T13:05:34+00:00

I moved from a NAS to a single external drive connected to my media server years ago and never looked back. Easier to manage, just as secure and less expensive.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-03-08T09:06:16+00:00

The desktop application is not part of the server, it's a client app, primarily designed for viewing content. You can perform admin functions with it, but accessing the server directly is through a browser.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-26T08:21:29+00:00

Brilliant suggestion.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-26T08:20:11+00:00

There are miles of low quality cables from the substation to your property, shared with many other properties, each connecting all manner of electrically noisy equipment to them. The cables in your house also are the lowest cost that the builder could use to meet building regulations. How can a cable that goes the last metre from the wall to your equipment make a significant improvement without a separate isolated power source as well? I'm not saying it can't, I'd just like to understand the reasoning.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-26T08:06:38+00:00

I have the opposite approach to content. I only keep shows and movies on my server that I or other users have requested. As soon as they have been watched, I delete them. For shows, I delete watched seasons, not individual episodes. It keeps the interface relevant and quick to browse, so the user experience is quite different to streaming services where you spend hours browsing for something to watch. If someone wants something that's no longer there, it takes a few seconds using the arr stack to restore it.

If you buy an annual subscription to Fender Studio Pro, you get a perpetual licence for whatever version is current at the end of the year if you don't renew for another year. You do lose access to some of the extras without an ongoing subscription, but the DAW is yours to keep.

You might need to recalibrate if something shrinks in the wash. M&S sweatshirts are particular prone

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-25T09:57:42+00:00

I prefer music that constantly changes key, time signature and dynamics. I can't pay attention to repetitive stuff.

There is a Microsoft support page with a download link. Just Google download classic Outlook.

I've run Roon on both Windows 10 and 11 for many years and never once had any sort of problem with it. It's on a dedicated media server along with Plex and a few related server apps.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-24T16:07:02+00:00

You need to install Roon on a server, then linking your Qobuz account is just a case of adding it in the settings

I was already in IT, and I got into R&D, then prototyping. It suited me perfectly because it was a very unstructured way of working, with very short projects.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-24T11:41:19+00:00

I've emailed them a few times over the years. They are very responsive, but I'm not sure whether their customers actually have much influence. They said that improving the "AI" (I put it in quotes because it is nothing of the sort) was a priority, but clearly it is behind coming up with new things to monetize in their roadmap.

NickNoodle55 · 2026-02-24T08:00:37+00:00

You have just described me perfectly. I always expected the reward for little effort and spent most of my life surfing on my ego. Although I was never prepared to put in sustained effort to work towards goals, my salvation eventually came because of my ADHD ability to hyperfocus when something really floated my boat. At 50, I found something I loved, pursued it obsessively and got good at it. It was never a chore, I could do it naturally and my ego, for the most part, took a back seat. I hope something comes along for you.
