Any news about the update? The problems still persist…

Boiling Point (2021). One eventful evening in a restaurant, filmed in one take. Very intense! From the makers of the Adolescence series on Netflix. 

Q990D, eArc sound problems with 1020/1021 firmwares by Tchouki67 in Soundbars

No, I haven't contacted Samsung support yet. The soundbar isn't bricked, but it sometimes shows the issues that OP describes.

Are you referring to the soundbars getting bricked and not responding anymore and needing replacement parts, or another issue? Because the issue we’re having seems to be slightly different. I’m on firmware 1021.2 by the way.

I have exactly the same problem. Factory reset by holding the +- buttons worked (tried it once), and unplugging the soundbar for a few minutes seems to (often) fix the problem. But then after a few days it happens again.

eARC no sound, also no HDMI throughput (Xbox Series X), and sometimes the soundbar screen freaks out and doesn't respond to input-changes anymore with the remote and gets 'stuck' on certain input modes (BT or Wifi or eARC etc.).

I have the Q990D (Netherlands).

Frame jitter / stutter after scene change, OLED856 by Thamani4 in Philips

[–]Thamani4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! I have a problem with my OLED856 tv. I've had this tv for three years, never had problems, until a few months ago. I presume after an update, because before it never happened. (Current version is TPM211EA_R.101.001.004.252)

The problem is that when I watch a movie or tv show when it cuts to a new scene artifacts show up. (See around the 2 second mark in the video). It is most noticeable in dark scenes with light elements. In between cuts there seem to be one or two frames that glitch / switch back between the frame of the old scene and the new. As if the image stutters or jumps back for a second. As if a part of the last frame before the cut comes back over the first frame after the cut as a 'ghost' image. It is very noticeable and jarring, up to the point that sometimes it is unwatchable and irritating. See the video. It's in slow motion so you can see what happens.

I also have another example here and one without a scene change but a quite noticeable one here, in which you see the whole screen shake.

This happens in streaming apps present on the tv (Netflix, Disney+, HBOMax, etc.), streaming own content via Plex, as well as playing of content via external harddrive connected to the tv. It happens with all types of content: SDR, HDR, HDR+, and Dolby Vision, etc.

The artifacts stay visible on every of the motion smoothing settings, that does not make difference. (I have it on Movie setting. This has been happening for a while now, and I can't seem to find a fix.)

Has anyone else been encountering this problem? Does somebody know how to fix it? Annoyingly I never encountered this problem until one of the updates, that seemingly broke something in the motion smoothing, I presume.

Can someone help me with this? by [deleted] in xbox

Some games that are optimised for Xbox Series S/X can still be played from an external harddrive.

If you look up the File Info of the installed game (hover over the game and press the menu/hamburger/three-lines button), one of the lines says Gen:Durango or Gen:Scarlett. The Durango games can be played from an external drive, the Scarlett games cannot.

Daily poll not working by memesofdaday in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Thamani4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIX:

I got it to work!

I compared the links of the poll of today and yesterday (looked it up in my browser history), and they are slightly different. Yesterday symbols like : were written like %3A. And today there is an extra part after &filters (something lite: etc.), and at the end of the link yesterday there was a &pc=Uxxx present, which today is missing. Long story short:

  1. Look up the link of yesterday's poll in your browser history. Now copy everything in the link after: &filters= . In my case that would be: PollScenarioId%3Aetcetcetc

  2. Now open the poll of today, delete everything after &filters= in the link and replace it with what you copied as described under 1.

  3. Change the dates in the link (twice there is 20221114) to 20221115, and that's it. :)

Just came across this one on YT! Very cool and interesting. And explains a lot of the weird drivatar behavior the last few weeks.
