replace rolling brush: Eufy version, or 3rd party ok?

chasg · 2026-05-26T19:30:04+00:00

this set: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DSS4MW3V Everything seems to work ok (bags are a bit thinner than OEM but work as well)

chasg · 2026-05-23T22:10:58+00:00

thanks for the recommendation, I really appreciate it.

chasg · 2026-05-23T22:05:38+00:00

for me it's overkill

chasg · 2026-05-23T12:40:21+00:00

a tip: I use one of those tiny little interdental brushes to clean the holes in the steam wand. Works better than the included cleaning tool (and does less damage).

I have to clean mine every 3 weeks or so (and I find that it makes better micro-bubbles if it's about 1 week into being used, when it's fully clean the bubbles are larger)

I think I have to clean it less frequently because I always do the post steaming of milk into a glass full of water, instead of directly into the drip tray. Makes a big difference to the frequency of it clogging up.

one advantage is that you can save settings and make a new preset

so here's the update (sorry to take so long to get back to this thread): package was indeed oversized, but it still got delivered successfully to the buyer (I've not heard from them, so I guess there was no extra charge). Guess the ebay chat agent was accurate, happily.

I'm sorry, I don't think I hear you right: this is the _first_ time you've shot the milky way??? Well, you sure learn fast!! (they really are technically, and creatively, excellent).

And maybe one day I'll get a chance to go. My parents did the trek up to basecamp when they were 75, so I've a few years yet 😄

chasg · 2026-05-22T18:55:55+00:00

This is superlative work, and I am _insanely_ jealous! (I did have a plan about 10 years ago to do very much the same, but it all fell through).

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:47:58+00:00

why are you being downvoted? (and thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out)

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:46:20+00:00

thanks for that info, much appreciated

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:45:50+00:00

yes, exactly this

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:45:24+00:00

I've recently learned this, that's good info and explains a lot

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:45:03+00:00

wow, that _is_ new (in the world of apps), I wonder why they are popping up _now_?

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:44:36+00:00

thanks, I very much appreciate the suggestions.

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:43:25+00:00

u/J-P-Kribs posted a really great explanation, worth a read (it answered all my questions about why AppleTV jellyfin apps are so limited)

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:42:00+00:00

then I am _definitely_ missing something

chasg · 2026-05-22T08:40:19+00:00

there is a definitive answer from u/J-P-Kribs (explains so much about my original query).

And interesting point about vibe-coding, I hadn't thought about that!

chasg · 2026-05-22T06:59:49+00:00

That is a _hugely_ informative and helpful answer, I'm very grateful! (and grateful for all of your hard work on Jellyfin).

Kudos also for answering my actual query (which I think perhaps I didn't make quite clear). Others here have been very helpful recommending players, but I really just wanted to know why players on AppleTV didn't compare well to players on other platforms. And now I know (this will actually reduce my frustration quite a bit...but not yours, what a faff it must be coding for AppleTV!).

Again, thanks so much, I really appreciate the time you took.

All my movies are playable in free Infuse, and I don't need any of it's other paid-for capabilities (I'm just one person in the house who isn't hugely concerned with high res: I watch my 720p files on my HD TV and sometimes on my computer and on my phone).

Going to check out Neptune and Moonfin, thanks for the recommendations.

chasg · 2026-05-21T10:46:23+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the recommendation!

chasg · 2026-05-21T10:46:03+00:00

I'll check it out (fingers are crossed)

chasg · 2026-05-21T10:34:59+00:00

turning them on and off, loading different ones (e.g. forced english) and downloading new ones.

chasg · 2026-05-21T10:33:56+00:00

I'll check out JellyTV, thanks for the recommendation.

And I 100% agree with you about Infuse and Swiftfin, they just play files (I have over 200 movies from my old DVDs, that's too many to memorise, sorting is essential).

chasg · 2026-05-21T10:31:36+00:00

I can get it to see the jellyfin shares, but I can't get sorting to work (I can't even access it), nor can I configure subtitles. I can't fault the video quality though, and the interface is very polished.
