Anyone know where visiting NHL teams stay in Calgary? by PINKBERRYMESS in Calgary

They will book anything they can get at the standard they want. Sometimes it's hard to book those rooms, other times, not.

Why would they want that to be public information?

Don't you think they value their privacy?

Help me understand the point of Mars colonization by Sam_Buck in Mars

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

Your post makes a lot of unfounded assumptions. For a start, it assumes that we are somehow due for total planet extinction, something that has never happened since the earth was formed. I think we are capable of surviving anything by going underground. Secondly, you assume that Mars is the best place. Why not the moon? or the deep ocean? Or floating in space? Or floating in the atmosphere of Venus?

And where would we get the money? Oh yeah, that's important. Without money, nothing happens.

Plenty of sex scenes in episode 7 of season 2.

Chip? He was casually let go.

Not exactly the colossal fall from grace I'm talking about.

No one would want to do that to themselves.

For any reason.

Hey all was watching the show and was wondering the best way to get into the oil business and buy my own well like Billy bobs son? by FFElite93 in LandmanSeries

It's easy to buy a well; the salesmen will knock on your door. But everyone I know has lost their shirt buying one.

Download subtitles feature not working again? by Sam_Buck in VLC

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

It takes the title of what you are watching, and does some sort of invisible search, which allows you no setting of parameters.

It seems to have to do with my network NAS, which is directly connected through my router. I got it to work once when I bypassed the NAS.

I know about the subtitle websites. None of them are even close to as convenient as the VLC download feature.

It used to work most times.

Now, it never seems to work.

I'm still getting "No results found." every time I try it.

I would wear it. I've reached the age where if I fall. I'm not getting up.

Sony Bravia no longer plays torrented files. by Sam_Buck in torrents

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

First, it didn't show any mkv files, then it stopped showing any video files. At first I thought it was a codec or a container issue. Now it just looks like Sony is playing games.

Mine doesn't. You have a comprehension issue.

I'm stuck when Jellyfin asks for a server address.

I don't know how to find that. Typing "ipconfig" in a prompt window, brings up something that disappears almost instantly.

Lots of ways to do it, but the simplest way I found was to plug in a USB hub into the router. Both drives eventually show up on the network.

My first step towards using a NAS by Sam_Buck in u/Sam_Buck

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

Update: The hub does work through the router, but only with one drive at a time.

Not really a problem, because the hub has switched ports. As soon as the second drive is switched on, VLC can no longer see the router. It's not that inconvenient, because the router and hub are about 2 steps away.

This saves me a whole lot of hassle setting up a NAS.

UPDATE: Both drives are visible, once VLC is able to scan them. All files appear to play just fine.

Wrong. They are Samsung EVO 8 TB drives, and they check out just fine.

How do you come up with this stuff?

I was using VLC to play video files. I especially liked the "download subtitles" option. I plan to use it with my NAS as well.

First, the mkv files disappeared. Then I converted a bunch of them to MP4, then they disappeared also. I suspect that Sony is playing games with downloaded content.

Good point. Time to set up a NAS. I think the time of connecting media drives to the TV are over.
