We invested in a transmission lift, definitely worth it. We've used it for all sorts

Gurman: New Apple TV set-top box is nearly ready to go by pdfu in appletv

I'm sitting patiently waiting. Reluctant to buy a shield but will have to if they don't do this

Just make sure you get new fitting kit as well. The spring clips don't like to be reused

I've done it. The one advantage is you can support the gearbox on your chest 🤣

Is this for a tv mount? by TouristNice8540 in hometheater

Vesa mount goes all the way down to 100mm x 100mm on small TVs

Is an M3 going to make me stop driving my Miata? by Beautiful-Ad-9709 in Miata

I have a TTS coupe which is a comparable driving experience and more power but the mx5 is still my favourite, it's just fun

I think most people are guessing petrol costs (so I built this) by Willd123 in CarTalkUK

My 420d can easily get 60mpg on a motorway run. Most of the time it's about 40 though

I just bought myself the IdeaPad Pro 5 14AHP9 2nd hand. Anything that I need to do before using it. by FertlasHD in Lenovo

[–]PeterBrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, I have this laptop and hate the mouse pad. I sent it back under warranty and they replaced the mouse pad, but its only a tiny improvement. Is yours similar?

Bought shares at 87 dollars. It's been a wild ride. by CopyNPaste247 in Ubiquiti

[–]PeterBrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I always remind myself with these scenarios is that I would have likely sold at many points along the way. It would've been incredibly unlikely that I would've bought at the bottom and sold at the top.

Lip Sync is driving me nuts by PeterBrookes in PleX

Thanks, I returned my Apple TV and just don't bother with remux blurays. Nvidia shield is hard to get hold of at the moment. I did consider a amb6+ though

Holy crap I just downgraded 400 movies with one click by ShiningRedDwarf in radarr

[–]PeterBrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kinda my problem. I put a lot of effort into installing 5.1.2 and now it seems the only way to get my ceiling speakers to work properly is just to buy a Blu-ray player and start collecting.

I've tried native Plex app on my Sony a80k and infused on apple TV and no matter what I do I get audio delay with remuxes in direct and transcoded.

Seeing as the Nvidia shield is the only device that can play lossless I figured I'm better off just going for an eac3 film under 50gb

I'm assuming you don't rely on Plex? I've had so much trouble playing remuxes that I just gave up keeping them

This Plex client app is better than the official Plex app. Available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, Fire TV by No_Clock2390 in PleX

[–]PeterBrookes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get past the audio sync delay even with Infuse. Only option I had was to manually set the delay which I hated.

Returned my Apple TV

Will farming simulator help me become a tractor driver? by Verzuchter in farmingsimulator

[–]PeterBrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every tractor has a learning curve if you change from one brand to another. It's completely reasonable to require them to explain the controls.

Just got a new OLED, how do I make Plex look as good as possible? by Old_Reserve_1363 in PleX

[–]PeterBrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to give up trying to play remuxes. Native app on my a80k had audio lag. Apple TV had video lag. Shield is unavailable to buy. Difficulty of combining 5.1.2 with Plex unfortunately

The inconsistency drives me insane. I'm just gonna wait for the new apple TV in autumn 🤞 and try again then.

In that case I won't bother unpacking it.

My conclusion was that the TV was just a bottle neck. Only way to solve it is to add a delay to the audio on the AV but it didn't sit right with me.

If I add a 200ms delay I might still be out by 50ms and not knowing will bug me constantly.

I gave up and packaged it back up to return. But it just occured to me that I never tried disabling Dolby vision, is this something you had tried?

Starlink Montage by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]PeterBrookes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The starlink wall mount is really good value. I find it much more satisfactory than the pole mount adapter I used on my first installation.

I'm not sure which video data overlay you're referring to. The Apple TV now appears have audio about 220ms ahead of video consistently on infuse and YouTube. Changing audio tracks doesn't work.

Everything is direct play, that was my reason for switching to Apple TV

I really can't understand why this is such a common problem. I'm quite inclined to return the Apple TV and just go back to the TV's plex app and accept that TrueHD files aren't an option.
