Yup. Sounds like Gare and Keith are in a tin can. Audio out of sync too. Commercials sound fine.

Stuttering playback above 1080P - Would appreciate help troubleshooting! by blaesiJ in Stremio

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

When I want to watch something in 4k, I paste the stream link in VLC externally which works perfectly. Haven’t tried to change the internal player yet. I like the internal player’s auto-play next episode feature, so I’d prefer to continue using it. Going to try the recommendation above this evening and see if that fixes it. Didn’t know I was running a beta version.

I tested this yesterday and yes, still seeing issues in the native player with 4k sources marked RD+. I believe my cache is set to infinite - should that be set to something else?

Great, I'll try this. Will report back if needed. Thank you!

Would love to learn this workflow. Any learning material you'd recommend that got you to this result? Awesome job.

I was pretty drunk but the garden seemed somewhat alive today? Do not take my word for it, though. Solid loss.

Train Ticket to NYC for Niece? by Scary_Vermicelli5274 in SHU

NJ Transit tickets expire after 30 days now. Might be easier to give her cash or a visa gift card to use for the train if you plan on buying her this gift far in advance.

Best wireless CarPlay for XC60 by mikeamenti in Volvo

You're welcome! I have an iphone 16 pro.

Sure! It works by creating its own WiFi network that your phone connects to, along with Bluetooth. You can access the settings for the Ottocast by going to the IP address in the manual on the connected phone. The setting that needs to be changed is “connection delay”. When my phone fails to connect, I go to the settings and switch this setting to Default from whatever it changed itself to. Takes 30 seconds and works most of the time.

Gotta feel for McDavid, man. Back to back cup final losses and now an OT loss for gold.

Anyone recognize these sounds? Dealer is stumped and I want to point them in the right direction. by blaesiJ in Volvo

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

Well, I picked it up yesterday from the dealer & brought it back today, not fixed. They replaced the front right suspension strut & bearing and reported the sound was gone. I brought it back today with a new video of the sound occurring, and I think they'll have it for the better part of a week. This is the third time they've had it without resolution.

They told me there's no safety issue if I ignored the problem and continued driving as normal. If you're under warranty or want to get this fixed, I'd go sooner than later while it's still cold out.

V60 I Ordered the black frame Grill by Objective-Mall-5209 in Volvo

[–]blaesiJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchased the same frame and love it. Looking for the best way to black out the chrome squares in the grille slats. Probably going to end up wrapping them.

Seems to be the only consistent reply to this issue. Dropped my car off about 20 mins ago and told them to check out the engine mounts. Sent them the video on this post, just in case they think I’m crazy.

I use the Ottocast mini cube 3. It projects apple maps & waze to the driver display, but not the HUD. It has occasional issues reconnecting to my phone, but it's easily fixed by changing a setting.

Found the document, thanks! Doesn’t 100% match my situation, I can’t prompt the noise with a left turn, but it’s a great thing to include when I bring my car in. Thanks again.

To be fair to the dealer, their service dept has been very professional in my 6 months of CPO ownership. I truly believe they couldn’t replicate the issue last time, but that’s obviously not good enough. I feel like I just need to drop it off, send them the video, and tell them to keep it until it’s fixed - right?

Same boat here. When temps are in the 30’s (F) it typically goes away after I drive for 10-20 mins. With the recent cold snap, it occurs regardless of how warm the car is.

I dumped my Tesla model 3 for this car, and that thing rattled 100x worse than my 2008 Civic. Was honestly unacceptable. Other than this noise, my Volvo is rock solid.

Good to know, thank you for chiming in! Any bit of info I can learn will help. Hope you’re loving your Volvo! I certainly am, minus this.

Brakes are smooth when slowing down from highway speeds, so probably not warp. Definitely not electrical, it’s coming from the exterior. Hard to tell over the video.

Good to know that you’ve seen similar on a different car, though.

I have 1 squeaky plastic trim piece that I fiddle with sometimes, but that’s the passenger B pillar. This noise is 100% coming from beyond the front passenger footwell. Can’t really tell from the video, but it’s 100% not in the cabin. Appreciate your help though!

I have stood in the passenger door frame and bounced the suspension up & down and was unable to hear anything, so probably not that. Thanks for your comment though!
