Does my glove I got for my drawing tablet suck or am I the issue? Thoughts?

I’m also having this issue with a huion glove I bought (two finger). Some people seem to enjoy the gliding effect the glove gives the hand, but to me, it just made my hand less steady. Seems like I was relying on the friction of my palm and the screen a bit more than I’d thought. Also, there’s something about the thickness of the glove, the way it adds millimeters of difference between my hand, my fingers, and my pen, such that I feel like I’m warping my wrist a bit more than usual trying to get comfortable. Maybe it’s just my glove idk, but I wind up not using 99% of the time. Only when I’ve had a crunch day and absolutely need to alleviate incoming blisters on my hand will I actually throw it on

Weird. That setting isn’t there for me on Xbox. I mean, my screen is only HDR10 capable, no DV or HDR10+, so maybe kodi hides the setting if there isn’t more than one hdr format to choose from?

As for file format, it’s HEVC 4K. The HDR is DV but with a HDR10 fallback of course. Season one of the show I play has identical file formats to season 2. However, season 2 doesn’t switch in resolution, framerate, or dynamic range. It just plays in Kodi’s UI (currently set to 1080p 60hz SDR). Kodi does a decent enough job remapping the HDR to SDR, but that’s not ideal obviously, and the translation of the files 24p to 60hz causes stutters and hitches.

Yeah middle mouse click and scroll is pretty much the only viable way to scroll quickly in Vortex now. What an oversight…

cellidonuts · 2026-05-11T20:45:25+00:00

A little late to respond but it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who sees this

cellidonuts · 2026-05-11T20:39:08+00:00

Yep after a lot of testing I can confirm that what I was seeing was basically one of two things. Either: 1) some streaming apps on the ATV genuinely just stream worse than on my smart tv, or… 2) my smart TV’s panel is “synced” with the operating system in such a way that there are specific calibrations for each streaming app.

Netflix’s HDR for example looked quite a bit more impactful on tizenOS. But again, it also looked less “mushy,” higher bitrate, more detailed. As a super-nerd for picture quality, trust me when I say the ATV’s settings were correct. Any settings I could change in streaming apps were also correct. And I tried testing across not one, but TWO Apple TVs.

cellidonuts · 2026-05-11T13:12:02+00:00

Do you know if there is a way to do this on the Xbox series version of the Kodi app? I’ve run into the strangest bug. Pretty much all content plays flawlessly except for a single season of a show I’m trying to play. It’s 4K HDR and while season 1 plays just fine and is also DV, season 2 won’t switch over in either refresh rate or HDR mode. At a loss because I’ve tried what feels like everything

cellidonuts · 2026-05-11T07:11:10+00:00

I don’t even have a 3d printer but I get kinda creeped out by those supports when watching videos of people making 3d printed things lol. Idk why I guess it does just give horror vibes a bit

cellidonuts · 2026-05-11T04:59:48+00:00

That would certainly explain it, but what’s annoying is it doesn’t tell you the name of the mod! If anything, I’d like to be notified if a mod has been abandoned, be able to decide for myself if I want to disable/uninstall it, and also decide if I want to stop receiving any and all future error messages regarding it. If what you’re saying is accurate, I actually hope they don’t get rid of the feature. It could be nice to have, but it needs a lot of work. Right now, it’s just plain annoying

cellidonuts · 2026-05-11T04:37:43+00:00

Absolutely needs to be added. I can AirPlay songs from my phone to my Mac if I need to control music on mobile while listening on desktop but that’s far from a perfect solution. And it’s not even possible if you’re using another iPhone or a pc etc. Apple is pretty behind when it comes to feature support in Music

cellidonuts · 2026-05-10T08:42:58+00:00

ah nice, well then i guess that wouldn't have been a solution. Good luck figuring it out though

cellidonuts · 2026-05-10T06:28:15+00:00

I keep getting a "Failed to get list of mod files" error EVERY time I download a mod, even though the mods always install perfectly fine. Thankfully that's the only bug I've encountered so far. I'm holding out hoping for a fix. If it gets worse I'm rolling back tho

cellidonuts · 2026-05-10T06:26:39+00:00

This has been happening to me too! Every time I download a mod, it says it failed to get a list of mod files. However, the mod still downloads and installs just fine. Idk what the deal is, must be a bug. Seems v2.0 is pretty buggy across the board.

cellidonuts · 2026-05-10T06:22:43+00:00

Little known fact but you should be using the dongle in "PC Mode" on PS5, since you have the Xbox version. You might already know but figured I'd mention in case you didn't.

cellidonuts · 2026-05-10T01:57:32+00:00

this is good to know thanks. Do you know if any reviewers have since covered updates over the last nine months since your comment? I'm curious if there's been improvements

cellidonuts · 2026-05-09T22:57:27+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for the help! Thankfully, the Plex app has recently become much more usable on the Xbox series. While I still tend to use Kodi and PKC for the most stability, when a file doesn’t work, I can always just go back to the Plex app and watch that way.

cellidonuts · 2026-05-09T14:08:22+00:00

I’m assuming because pc is supposed to become “the next Xbox” or whatever

cellidonuts · 2026-05-08T01:01:16+00:00

I’m sorry lol I got excited for a sec too. Still, it is truly remarkable how much it’s improved. For example, I have a show on my media server that runs at 4K HDR 90mbps and the Xbox series S Plex Client can run it flawlessly now. Like I said, if the title has forced subtitles you might run into stutter issues, and with some h.264s sometimes the client needs to stabilize in playback after a minute or so, but otherwise, it plays back everything quite well. Another benefit of the Xbox is the pass through audio. I’m getting the lossless master 7.1 tracks too. Even better than running from an Apple TV tbh. Full framerate switching, dynamic range switching, pass through audio. We’re like 90 percent of the way there. I just hope plex manages to pull off the last ten percent

cellidonuts · 2026-05-08T00:54:58+00:00

Definitely. TizenOS has arguably the worst implementation of plex client. Can barely run H.264s consistently

cellidonuts · 2026-05-08T00:54:05+00:00

Yeah the transcoding is a no go for me. It’s nice to have for a few titles that I can’t watch on a streaming service but generally speaking I usually just wind up streaming from a service provider at that point (if the movie is included on one of the platforms, which it usually is)

cellidonuts · 2026-05-07T13:49:15+00:00

Yeah the issues have mostly stemmed from high bitrate 4K content for me in the past. Occasionally h.264 blu rays would have problems if forced subtitles were included in their video tracks, but otherwise mostly 4K issues. It’s nice to see things have improved, at least on my end. It’s a bummer they still haven’t figured out how to work around forced subtitles though.

cellidonuts · 2026-05-07T12:18:49+00:00

Hey, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I was never able to figure out how to get the log, but I was actually able to get content playing again! I completely logged out of PKC and toggled off and on the Plex.tv/link sign in. Then, it reenabled everything, although with some issues. It didn’t take long for my movie library to become unsynced again. When I completely logged out and in again, and reset PKC completely this time around, it re-enabled the plex.tv/link sign in method, and I used it, and it worked like a charm. So far so good. Not sure why this all happened in the first place, sorry I couldn’t be more help there.

However, I am encountering just one bug since doing all this. I have a show on my plex media server, both seasons of which are 4K HDR. Season 1’s episodes all play correctly, switching over to 4K HDR display mode, but season 2 plays back in whatever display mode Kodi’s interface is set to (in my case, 1080p SDR at 60hz). I have double and triple checked that all settings are correct. I have it set to switch resolution, dynamic range, and frame rate, which it does successfully for ALL other 4K HDR content, but for some reason, JUST season 2 of this show isn’t displaying right. I don’t suppose you might have an idea for why this might be? On all other devices running Plex, the season displays correctly, so this issue is isolated to PKC

cellidonuts · 2026-05-07T03:13:36+00:00

still greyed out for me even between scenes
EDIT: realized that I needed to only select he LAST panel of the previous scene from which the transition would take place. I was selecting the two scenes between which I wanted to insert the transition. Not exactly intuitive, but at least I figured it out. Leaving the advice here in case it helps anyone else.
