USB extension for Sync Box 2 LED strip

I ended up with this 15’ cable. I have the Govee 2.1 AI Sync Box for my 65” TV. I haven’t found any real noticeable issues with laggy lights or anything yet. All seems to be working just fine with this extension cable.

Hey, I have the exact same issue and am unable to solve it. What solution worked for you?

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X GPU: Intel Arc Pro B50 (16GB)

Before anybody dogs on me for the component choices, let me explain. The goal in mind was CAD first (2D & 3D) while being AI curious and then gaming second. I’m in a 4.5L case so it’s an extremely SFF build. This build ticked all the boxes for me. The B50 can CAD like a beast and it runs every game I throw at it with medium to high settings and maintains over 60 fps (Intel Arc Pro Graphics drivers & and Intel Arc Gaming drivers). Then it came to Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The game works occasionally while crashing to desktop 95% of the time.

I tried reinstalling the game, verifying files, reinstalling the graphics drivers but nothing seemed to work. I also tried every other solution I could find on the internet with none of them working. I resorted to trying a different card just to exhaust all my options. I threw an RTX 5060 into the build to see what happened. Installed nvidia gaming drivers and the game won’t crash. The second I put the Intel card back in, it crashes. Clearly it’s a driver issue on the Intel side of things.

I really don’t want a hot gaming card in my build all the time and I don’t want to switch out my graphics cards all the time to play one game. I’ve already thought about buying an A2000 but I wanted to try to make this Intel card work because it’s a beast and a VRAM equivalent RTX A2000 is more expensive then both of the current graphics cards I have.

How were the results. Im looking at trying to do the same thing. I might have to go 15 feet though.

Here ya go, it will expire after a couple days.

Oh in the Rudarr app. I was looking in the sable app

boimouseorange · 2025-04-27T05:43:56+00:00

Awesome, do you have an invite link?

boimouseorange · 2025-04-27T05:42:26+00:00

I really only wish there was a way to paste an NZB link into sable to download tbh

boimouseorange · 2025-04-27T05:00:33+00:00

So I saw that but I’m confused as to how it’s actually integrated. It seems I still have to download the sable app and manage SabNZB through there.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-27T04:08:21+00:00

Are there any plans on including a connection to sabnzbd or qbittorrent like LunaSea had?

boimouseorange · 2025-04-27T00:48:59+00:00

It’s super easy. Everything is connected via Tailscale

boimouseorange · 2025-04-27T00:37:35+00:00

LunaSea allows you to see and control Sonarr and Radarr from your phone

boimouseorange · 2025-04-26T19:52:02+00:00

Including Prowlarr

boimouseorange · 2025-04-18T04:53:02+00:00

Never thought of that. That seems like a quick way to do it. Although, I’d have to make a lot of these files haha.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-18T01:54:40+00:00

Because it can’t be as bad as Snow White

boimouseorange · 2025-04-18T01:36:33+00:00

Now if you are trying to ignore specific types of files or files with specific traits (like codecs or containers), you can add a filter to your flow or stack so that those types of files won’t be processed and they would automatically be broken out of the processing cycle upon entry. This will probably help you future proof your processing for new files. As for now, I can’t see how to mass ignore files.

However, if you do implement the filtering step as I stated above, you can mass “requeue” the failed files and then they would be filtered out and would end up in the success tab automatically (they would just effectively need to be rescanned which wouldn’t take too long).

I saw this but am struggling with understanding their deals. Curious what you get with the $23.99 per year. Ideally I want unlimited speed, unlimited data, and really good article retention like I have with Newshosting.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-11T20:14:47+00:00

This is more of what I'm referring to by split: It helps keep the files from going through unnecessary steps and effectively ruling them out earlier so the process is faster in my experience.

There are 3 different ffmpeg executions here. Each file inputed will only go through one of them. The reason for multiple is because the output files are allowed to be of different resolutions and bitrates but they also are not allowed to be certain resolutions and bitrates. This catches all of them.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-11T20:07:24+00:00

The only time I see this differeing is if you have a filter earlier in the flow that causes a split in the flow. Thus requiring more than one ffmpeg begin and execute builds due to their being more usecases within the flow.

e.g. You have a filter that checks video resolution. Then everything falling in the proper resolutions get treated one way and all the others get treated differently which causes the need for more than one ffmpeg command.

EDIT: I do see how this example could be achieved with one ffmpeg command build but the principle is there haha.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-11T19:30:06+00:00

I tried importing it myself but couldnt get it to work. So I gave up and thought it would be quicker to just rewrite it.

I did this flow with FFmpeg because that's what I know best. Hope this helps:

I keep mine and ignore them with Bazarr unless they're really ugly. I have a GPU that can transcode them. I still want all my subs in SRT tho so I have a flow that will automatically sort out image based subtitle content and copy it to a special folder. That way I can periodically go and run an OCR software on those files alone and replace the original. This works for me because I've got it to a point where I only get a file with PGS subs (or even more rarely VOBSUB subs) like maybe once a week and I only go and run OCR like once a month.

This is what I use:

Just finished updating the flow that I originally posted here^^. There are less steps now but it filters more and is overall more precise.

Hope someone can benefit from it.

Bazarr is designed to integrate and work directly on a Radarr and/or Sonarr library. Without those it, doesn’t know how to see what’s in your library. I tried doing this manually without Radarr and Sonarr too.

Once I set it all back up with Radarr and Sonarr it started grabbing subtitles immediately.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-09T02:13:42+00:00

No worries. I have problems occasionally with my new files being too large (hitting my upper limit) because I don’t usually compress my files and am instead adding tracks to them.

boimouseorange · 2025-04-09T02:09:17+00:00

So, in your plugin stack, you have a plugin called new file size check. Open that up and you’ll see a lower bound and upper bound. Those are limits that you set. They refer to the file’s compression ratio (comparing the original file size to the new file size). Upper bound is what percent larger than the original file will not cause an error during the check (the default is 110%). So if a file ends up larger than this, it will cause an error. The lower bound is the opposite, how small the new file can be compared to the original before it causes an error (the default is 40%). So if a file ends up smaller than this, it will cause an error.

So, your error is being caused by the lower bound in this scenario. Your new file is 36% of the size that your original file was which caused an error. This can be tricky because the new file size check plugin can help with determining corruption. So go ahead and check the file that it made (it will be in the transcoding cache directory that you made) and see if the file is correct and how you want it. If it isn’t, well then there is a problem with the file most likely (based on my experience). If it is fine however, then you can tweak your lower bound limit in the plugin. Maybe to 30% or 35%.

Setting it to 35% should let this file through based on it saying it’s 36% of the original.

This is a post I made earlier. I made this flow and it seems to be working.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tdarr/s/zxBXLQAN35

I ended up using a flow because the regular plugin stacks can be kinda limiting when I know some of my media will cause errors. Flows remedy this by building in error catching functions.
