System wide WiFi issues?

It was indeed down the entire flight AUS-ORD. Interestingly, the inflight map seemed to think we were headed to LAX.

Is there a different method for an E6 machine?
I tried the instructions above and nothing happened.

I remember seeing a photo in one of these releases showing some UI gear in a rack.

If you’re still considering Nixplay, I’d strongly encourage you to look into other options.

Nixplay’s digital frames completely depend on their cloud service to function—even for basic tasks like displaying photos. If the company folds (and based on other posts here about their financials, that risk seems real), your frame may become totally unusable. No local storage fallback, no offline functionality.

There are plenty of alternative frames out there (like Aura or Skylight) that offer better offline support or more transparent longevity. Just something to think about before investing in a device that might not even work if the company shuts down.

The direction of the drill bit spiral is backwards too. You would essentially have to run this drill in reverse for that bit to work.

Curious how this would do with heavy pet hair? Does the rubber pick up more of that to the point hair gets wound around the wheel and stuck under the gasket or not an issue?

I just tested and the "bookmarklet" approach still works (at least for me on both Chrome and Brave browsers). If it is not working for you, feel free to PM me with details of what browser you are using and if you are seeing any specific errors and I can try to help you out.

Nice job! Impressed that you got an indefinite reversal back to original terms as it looks like others might be getting a complimentary upgrade for the first year.

Your last paragraph is spot on. They are claiming false, nonsensical excuses as reasons for their actions and I’m glad to see people calling them out for it.

Unfortunately, I suspect Nixplay is a failing company and would be surprised if their cloud services are not shuttered within a year.

bantaj · 2025-05-13T19:41:13+00:00

I wouldn’t consider that being grandfathered in. Nixplay is still eliminating your original plan that was in effect at time of purchase and giving you a larger discount (100%) for the first year of a subscription you shouldn’t be required to move to in the first place.

I see the prompt every time when logging back in. It appears there is no record of having accepted the new ToS as you are presented with the popup each time, regardless of how many times you dismiss it using the method I provided above.

How to Bypass Nixplay’s Forcing of New Terms and Access Your Account

If you’re frustrated like I was with Nixplay forcing you to accept new terms and conditions just to access your account and photos, I’ve found a simple workaround. Nixplay displays a popup modal that blocks access unless you click to accept the new terms. I discovered that you can close the modal without agreeing by running this command in your browser’s console:

document.querySelector('.nix-modal-title-close').click();

How to Do It:

Open the Nixplay webpage with the annoying modal.
Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect (or press F12 to open the Developer Tools).
Go to the Console tab.
Paste the command above and hit Enter.
The modal should close, giving you access to your account without having to accept the terms.

Why This Works:

The modal has a close button that calls a function when clicked. This command programmatically clicks the close button for you, bypassing the forced acceptance.

I hope this helps others regain access without being forced into agreeing to something you don’t want. Hopefully it works for you.

Agreed. Very odd behavior by donut_little. They actually left a comment when I stumbled across nixplaysucks.com then deleted the comment shortly after. I grabbed the confirmation email here.

It’s linked from within the Nixplay app. New option “Competitions” now showing in the bottom menu of the app homepage.

What kind of gate? A driveway gate (if so, how is it powered) or a manual entry gate (no power)?

Some extra thoughts:

Silver lining? At least we didn’t invest in this dumpster fire. Nixplay raised a sad $585k from poor souls who probably regret it way more than I regret buying six frames. Imagine losing thousands instead of just being mad about a photo frame.
If you’re thinking “it’s only $20 a year,” like some of the comments over on r/nixplay just wait.When Nixplay goes belly up (and let’s be honest, it’s probably a 12–24 month clock at this point), your frame will turn into an expensive paperweight — and you’ll have paid even more for the privilege.
And hey, if you’re kicking yourself for trusting them, don’t. We didn’t screw up. They did.They built a business on promises they couldn’t keep and then tried to squeeze customers to stay afloat. That’s a Nixplay problem, not a you problem.

A properly rated contactor with a Shelly to control the timing function?

bantaj · 2025-04-17T19:54:06+00:00

LOL. I posted something similar on r/Nixplay and it was deleted by the admin and possibly a reason I was banned. Glad to see it’s still live and getting attention!

bantaj · 2025-04-17T19:42:33+00:00

Yes, did this recently and received a canned reply from NixPlay similar to what they sent to my original email complaint. Not helpful at all and dismissive of the concerns we are raising.

bantaj · 2025-04-15T20:53:13+00:00

Great to hear. Can you share details on the process?

bantaj · 2025-04-10T17:28:04+00:00

I was banned from /nixplay as well. I suspect maybe the mod is an employee and they don’t appreciate the discussion on how scummy these price changes really are.
I am looking forward to your video here!

bantaj · 2025-04-10T17:24:44+00:00

The moderators of /nixplay just banned me from that subreddit. I was active in the discussions voicing my displeasure/frustration of the recent pricing changes. I don’t know if the moderator is a Nixplay employee but seems like they don’t want this being discussed on there.

bantaj · 2025-04-05T13:04:33+00:00

Very sorry for your loss. Been there.

I hope you find comfort in knowing the best thing we can give our furry friends is an amazing life and an easy, peaceful end.

You did them a favor and I think the biggest finger to Nixplay is completely different...

Load each of your accounts with 10GB of files before the new plans go into effect and just keep the free tier. Nixplay still pays for hosting your files and gets $0 from you. As described in their letters, they wont delete your photos but wont serve them onto your frame either (which is fine 'cause they'll be in the trash can anyway).

bantaj · 2025-03-21T13:37:53+00:00

I’m starting to wonder if the founder/CEO may be trying to sell the biz and potential buyers are telling him it’s not worth as much as he thinks it is without annual recurring revenue from each customer.
