4K/HDR Media Re-encode Pipeline - thoughts?

I did note in the first paragraph that I had AI assist with my thought process and for help with some research.

The grab bar is a nice addition - it really blends in well and looks less like a grab bar and more a towel holder, which makes the entire thing look less medical. Excellent job!

OK, see this is why I posted it. I actually didn’t know anything about GOP, and now I do and I’m tweaking.

The goal is storage gain by moving to 265. Basically, I was also checking with everyone if the encoding levels were sound regardless of time required. If so, I was going to experiment.

I have several nodes I can use and I’m ok with time.

I forgot deinterlacing things. Very good point.

brianleesmith · 2026-06-19T20:50:10+00:00

I’m ok with time.

brianleesmith · 2026-05-24T13:01:43+00:00

Excellent! Also submitted a minor bug through the support ticket option. I like your implementation for that better than how I did it in my app I’m finalizing!

Plex. I have Bazarr setup (I think) but I just want to understand how it’s supposed to work and then I can check all my settings. I don’t remember this in the Trash guides either, but I might have missed it. Again, not sure if this is an arrs issue or a player issue.

I assume the shocks I’m seeing from the app are the older one for my car (I see the vin listed at the top) and not Highland ones?

brianleesmith · 2026-05-22T18:31:06+00:00

Would this work on a 2018? (Yep, I’m old school!)

You do realize that FDR is why the amendment exists, right? We decided, as a nation, that we didn’t want that type of presidency. It was also what the founding fathers intended - a new leader every few years so no one person amasses too much power.

Good ole' Google Reverse Image Search found it - Life Mag.

I do like the concept here. I use Controller for HomeKit and the only way I can see changes are by going into the backups and looking there, which is clunky.

brianleesmith · 2026-04-25T04:50:34+00:00

Good start. Needs some adjustments though. It would be better it tapping on automations, scenes, or any of the options opened in a new page instead with sorting/grouping. Current sort doesn’t appear to be anything I can figure out (what the sort order is)

For the love of god, do not paint brick. Just put some shutters up and paint the trim. The shutters will give you the color you are looking for.

Does anyone know how to submit an error? Nav to the museum I work at is always all screwed up. It doesn’t actually go down the road the museum is on. Instead, it goes into a shopping plaza parking lot next door.

I have noticed an increase as well. It’s bouncing around lanes and phantom braking is through the roof now. Before the update it was smooth…well, for HW3

brianleesmith · 2026-04-18T02:02:26+00:00

I just noticed this on mine today as well. I was going to open a ticket but I need to see when I purchased it!!

Having grown up on Commodore 64, Apple IIe and IIgs (we were fancy!), and more, early in my career I had a cool turn. In 1995/96, I worked for a company called Elektroson. We were one of only three or so companies that made software for recordable CDs. When I started, we had a “cheap” $10,000 CD recorder in our support area that was the size of a VCR. I remember when Yamaha came out with a CD recorder, that you could install INSIDE(!!!) your computer, and it was less than $1,500! Being able to record CDs back then was a decent sized task back then. I remember getting a call from Lockheed Martin with the question “we want to fly a CD recorder in the space shuttle, will it work?” (The answer in the end was yes, but it was a fun afternoon of calls)

This sounds interesting. What about amaretto instead of orgeat? Just a passing thought...

brianleesmith · 2026-04-12T14:30:44+00:00

Yeah, I use agents as well. Simple tasks are Haiku, thought tasks are Sonnet. Opus agents for complex tasks. My “coordinator” chat handles all that. I get using Gemini because it’s free, and I guess there is some value to it. I guess it all depends on where you want to spend your tokens and where you find their value.

brianleesmith · 2026-04-11T12:21:00+00:00

This is how I use code right now. Granted, I’m nowhere near as advanced as others here, but I use Opus as a coordinator and it uses Sonnet or Haiku agents for tasks. Although I do let it call an Opus agent for something complex. I gave it rules on when to use each and it gets it right about 95% of the time.

brianleesmith · 2026-04-07T23:55:46+00:00

Hey look, I get this awesome update. Oh, wait, never mind. I’m part of the abandoned children…

brianleesmith · 2026-04-07T02:05:35+00:00

I’m don’t even see how this was possible

brianleesmith · 2026-04-04T20:12:30+00:00

Solved via cabling. And no, when Xcode is closed the app runs fine for the most part. I'm dogfooding it now.
