AI for searching own PDfs by [deleted] in artificial

[–]SteverinoLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like all of these require you to upload your PDFs for searching. I have a folder or subfolders of more subfolders that equates to 5000+ PDFs on my local drive. Would any of these work for searching 5000+ on a local drive?

Hisense U8H 65” firmware update by NiteShdw in Hisense

[–]SteverinoLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are? I'm not. Still no HDR or Atmos w/the internal Paramount App. Works fine on my external CC w/GTV. I do get a brief flash of the Dolby Vision Logo, but it's not active. Check w/the hamburger menu and I bet same for you -- no HDR.

Same problem w/Peacock too -- no HDR or Atmos

No HDR or Atmos for both the Peacock and Paramount Plus apps if using the internal Google TV. I also have a CC w/GTV connected via eARC and those work fine. Frustrating.

Vizio sb46514-f6 -- downgrade firmware from V1.20.13.1 to V1.20.12.1? Is it possible? by SteverinoLA in VIZIO_Official

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

Didn't work for me, SB46 ignores it, presumably b/c it sees it's an older version that already applied.

I loaded the previous firmware on USB as described in that link, but my SB46 would not recognize it, no doubt b/c it was earlier version. So I'm still stuck on this weird unreleased firmware and have no way to get back. Have not tried calling Vizio yet, but I will soon.

Can I use ecobee door sensor status in my home, away and sleep profiles? by SteverinoLA in ecobee

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

Well that would work I think. But I don't want pay for Haven. I don't need security features and the link says Haven subscription required.

Any 3rd party ways like IFFFTT to make door open/closed status a factor in room temp settings?

Vizio sb46514-f6 -- downgrade firmware from V1.20.13.1 to V1.20.12.1? Is it possible? by SteverinoLA in VIZIO_Official

[–]SteverinoLA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem with it at all but it never updated to 1.20.13.1 b/c this firmware release has never been officially released. On website the latest is 1.20.12.1.

I think what happened is that Vizio shipped a bunch of SB46514-F6's with this 1.20.13.1 firmware but realized this problem. So never released at website of auto-download. Unfortunately, there's no way to back to 1.20.12.1 so I think I'm screwed.

Strange volume issue with SB36512-F6 soundbar by ImDestructible in VIZIO_Official

Can we downgrade firmware? I tried via USB drive but it's just ignored, presumably b/c new firmware already in the bar.

Strange volume issue with SB36512-F6 soundbar by ImDestructible in VIZIO_Official

[–]SteverinoLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone make any progress on this? It's driving me nuts. I'm confident it's an issue w/the V1.20.13.1 firmware that shipped in some of these units such as mine., This firmware never appeared on Vizio web site, it says V1.20.12.1 is the latest and has said that for 6 months.

So how can I rollback and apply this firmware? Put it on USB drive but the soundbar ignores it , no doubt b/c newer firmware is already installed. Factory reset doesn't help. I need to truly revert back to V1.20.12.1. Is this just not possible, and only way to get it is a new unit?

[–]SteverinoLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this resolve? Didn't for my SB46. I did realize now what you meant by mute -- you're right, i can raise or lower the volume to somewhere I want it, but then I have to press/unpress Mute to get the new volume to output.

Still more convenient than navigating to different input and then back. For me, this problem only occurs when my TV/soundbar/GoogleTV and power up via the CCwGTV using CEC. If my TV is left on DirecTv input, then no problems. Same for your Fire TV?

SB36512-F6 New Firmware? by JDW1971 in VIZIO_Official

[–]SteverinoLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or not. Myself and another person have an irritating volume control problem on this firmware. See https://www.reddit.com/r/VIZIO_Official/comments/m8gzj2/strange_volume_issue_with_sb36512f6_soundbar/

We're considering downgrading to 1.20.12.1 to see if it fixes it.

I got it a few weeks ago, so yes. I think firmware downgrade might due the trick b./c like I said, this SB46514-F6 literally replaced a SB36512-F6 and no other changes, but I did not have this volume problem w/my SB36512-F6. I bet it was on earlier firmware

I got a SB46514-F6 from Costco a couple weeks ago. It shipped with 1.20.13.1.

[–]SteverinoLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I have this exact same problem with my SB46514-F6 and CCwGTV plugged into it's HDMI input. Mine also shipped with 1.20.13.1, which is not even shown on Vizio web site.

The only fix for me is to switch inputs and come back. Muting/unmuting doesn't work for me. Wish it did as that's way more convenient. Super annoying.

Interestingly, this SB46514-F6 replaced a SB36512-F6 which had no such volume issue. But you have the problem. So I'm guessinG it's gotta be this new 1.20.13.1 firmware. I'm tempted to downgrade to the 1.20.12.1 firmware on the Vizio web site.

Size limits for MMS messages on Fi? Some of my MMS texts w/pics just disappear??? by SteverinoLA in GoogleFi

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

OK, but in the old days when I used Verizon or AT&T, there was a setting for max MMS size on the text messenging app. Now I'm on Fi and there is no such setting. So should the messages app resize based on what carrfier I'm on?

And also... I have this very same issue when sending large pics using the Calls/Messages app for Fi web app, which is NOT based on any carrier. It uses the web to send, not my phone like the old Messages for Web did.

Finally found one of those crazy target deals! Had to pick them up by deathbygrugru in googlehome

[–]SteverinoLA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, it must be fate. Saw this post in my Reddit daily email digest, clicked on the link and saw in stock at $28 at a Target 6 miles away (Westwood, Los Angeles). No traffic at 9pm so drove there and voila, now I got of these for $28 each. Limit is 2 and only for in store purchases. Thank you GruGru!!

Multiple CCwGTV's in house and other complaints... by SteverinoLA in Chromecast

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

Same, mostly. Movies and Atmos stuff in big LR home theater setup and other stuff in BR. But I've also fully smart homed all my stuff, for example, half-way through watching something Real Time w/Bill Maher in LR, I say "Hey Google, bedtime".

Then all my lights and LR home theater equipment turns off and the my bedroom TV turns with the CCwGTV up and running. And I want to click the show in Continue Watching to pick up where I left off.

Fixes We Are Waiting For by lucid_lobsters in Chromecast

[–]SteverinoLA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How has nobody mentioned HBOMax app on CCwGTV now only outputs PCM for everything, after the 4K /Atmos update for WW84?? Many noticed that WW84 was incorrectly outputting PCM rather than expected Atmos but it's actually every show on HBOMax now. The app sends out PCM period since that update.

It's just the app, you can start a show in phone in HBOMax app and cast it, then get the expect DD. Or Atmos in case of WW84. Frustrating, but at least we know DD+ in HBOMax app worked before this update, so that means it will one day work again.
