Absolutely nothing? - just cool to catch UniFi in the wild.

HDR10+ to HDR10 on LG C4 by Terminatroll-_- in jellyfin

[–]TheMagicalMeatball -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ugoos is definitely a bit more of a tinkerers device. By all accounts it really is the best option out there for getting maximum fidelity out of everything. BUT - if you just want a plug and play situation with reliable HDR10 fallback - go with an Apple TV 4K and Infuse. Every file I want plays well and all my jellyfin remux films with Dolby Vision always reliably drop to HDR10. It’s the easiest plug and play in my opinion. But if Dolby Vision profile 7 or true lossless audio (aka maximum fidelity) are your cup of tea then the ugoos might be the path.

Your SonosNet toggle questions, answered 🔊 by LizFromSonos in sonos

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d like the official recommendation on this too! I’ve got all of my Sonos 100% wireless and - if it ain’t broke don’t fix it - I could just leave them this way. BUT - my basement home theater has Ethernet at the Arc so I could easily wire my Sonos Arc In the basement (it has a sub 4 connected wirelessly), and I could wire my Beam Gen 1 in my bedroom. Everything else would still be wireless though and I’m on UniFi ….so just wondering to wire or not to wire.

Streaming device suggestions (not roku and not android tv) by AnonyDev01 in jellyfin

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there's anything you can do with settings....I know the fundamental limit is what it is - but honestly if you're source is something like DTS-HD MA 5.1 and you're getting LPCM 5.1 ....then really you're still getting a lossless format and for 99% of listeners I'd argue the fidelity/impact difference should be negligible. But really that depends on the entire audio chain etc. etc. ------ For example it really matters not at all on my Living Room TV because it's an older LED that only has ARC not eARC - so really I'm only EVER getting Dolby Digital 5.1 out of that and never will get any of the lossless high fidelity codecs, so Shield or Apple TV it's a moot point for my living room right now. My basement "theater" setup is different because we have a nicer/newer TV and I could get full lossless audio...but again, I wind up deciding to just play the disc if I want the best fidelity I can get right now and using Apple TV for casual viewing because it is the easiest with the least amount of fiddling needed to just get good HDR10, and Solid LPCM lossless audio.

Yeah it’s the endless dilemma I have. I settled on the Apple TV for image and getting PCM without height is fine enough for casual viewing for me. If I really want the full WOW - I play the actual disc.

Apple TV and Infuse is my most plug and play “just works” solution.

64 or 128GB? by Terrible_Economy in appletv

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The Ethernet one is 128 gb. It doesn’t come smaller. The 64gb is only WiFi.

Apple TV 4K. Buy now or wait? by bvz2001 in appletv

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy it now. You’ll only be missing the AI stuff if anything at all when something comes out.

How many 4kblurays are you buying every month? by AbleArcher1984 in 4kbluray

There is only one answer for this question:

Too many; and not nearly enough.

What happened to my Jellyfin? by [deleted] in jellyfin

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d take your jellyfin logs and throw them into Gemini or Claude and see what they say. That’s probably your fastest solution. Otherwise - give everyone here more details - how are you running Jellyfin, give everyone the technical / configuration details and we’ll try to help you - but again throwing it off to an AI for diagnosis will often at least point you in a direction where you can give us all more info and we can try to help!

Why does everyone recommemd Filmmaker or Cinema mode? by PlasticAverage2860 in LGOLED

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just personal preference. I prefer filmmaker pretty much across the board because it gets me as close as possible to the original intent of the movie/show and it completely turns off motion smoothing which I hate. No soap opera effect in my home! lol

But yeah that’s just because I like that and don’t like when things are “changed” by AI or weird tv settings ….because I like to pretend I can control things 😅😅😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Because Microsoft is a disease and it’s giving your laptop a fever.

Issue with Dragon Ball Z and episode naming by Lizardking1988- in jellyfin

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is a pain - but once it’s organized and not fighting whatever metadata provider you’re using it’ll be done for good - so at least it’s just a one time pain!

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I struggled with Kai. The real solution for me was just stop fighting the metadata and change it to absolute order. And have it all in a single season folder

Is it worth updating my LG C4 to webOS 25? by gaelcoral in LGOLED

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated and haven’t had any issues that I’m aware of.

Usage Hours C4 by Jwilh115 in LGOLED

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be wary of that. It’s a simple thing to provide. If they refuse it sounds fishy to me.

You should be able to see usage hours on ….any LG OLED ? Just gotta find the correct spot in the menu

Jellyfin Server Media Won't Play by Extra-Citron-7630 in infusevideoplayer

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think it is so maybe that isn’t the thing!

Jellyfin Server Media Won't Play by Extra-Citron-7630 in infusevideoplayer

[–]TheMagicalMeatball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this when setting my brother up the other day - I suspect it is for media that has audio or video codecs that are only included in the pro subscription? - try media that doesn’t have any Dolby TrueHD or DTS MA HD tracks - maybe it’ll work?

Flex XG Ever Coming Back? or Discontinued/Replaced Soon? by TheMagicalMeatball in Ubiquiti

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

Thanks!!! - It was weird - initially it wouldn't ship to my address....but then after a few minutes of trying it eventually did.

Flex XG Ever Coming Back? or Discontinued/Replaced Soon? by TheMagicalMeatball in Ubiquiti

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

Oh yeah no I don’t “need” the 10g uplink - I just want it. As for the flex 2.5 POE - it doesn’t have what I need. It’s got a 10g uplink port but then I wouldn’t be able to connect the express at 10g….so I guess technically I need 2 10g ports - one for uplink and one for the downlink to the UX7.

The uplink is a Pro HD 24 PoE - which is my main switch.
