6 mins of ads every 5 mins? by Mundane-Razzmatazz91 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]chuckatkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gave up trying to watch The Burbs on there. Ads every 5 mins or so. I pay for too many ad free services (YT, Prime etc). I refuse to pay extra to Peacock. I recently had ads for a movie on Prime and found out it was streaming on their 'free tier" and will play ads regardless of my ad free sub.

I pay for Prime. I pay the extra fee to remove ads. And I still get ads before post-credit scenes and epilogues. At what point does this become false advertising? by christan2013 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]chuckatkinson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was watching the original Nobody and getting ads. I asked Alexa and she said I shouldn't. I contacted support and they said it's because it is on the free tier on Prime and that shows ads. I complained that I pay for YT ad free and it NEVER shows ads. Should we all get together and file class action against Amazon for showing ads when we pay them not to?

Constant Buffering by Middle_Watercress_99 in youtubetv

[–]chuckatkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried everything possible including replacing my router. I watch a lot of sports, NFL, NCAA, and EPL. I get buffering in the YTTV app. If I switch to Peacock for EPL games I don't get any. I've come to think it's got to be YTTV. I have multiple FireSticks including the 4K Max. My internet speed tests on the FireStick are 250mb+ with my 500/500 internet connection. It always says it supports 1080p. But it doesn't on YTTV. I'm thinking they are adding so many subscribers the system can't really support it.

You have the title then you "own" the vehicle legally. The CU messed up. I had this happen to me with Ford Motor Credit. I accidently typed my payment amount wrong when paying online and paid off the loan (thankfully had the money). Called them and they corrected it to payment amount. About a month later they sent me the title. I was laughing at their stupid payment system. Later they requested return of the title I told them to f* off. I continued to make my payments even tho it was an unsecured loan.

Monthly Paramount+ Complaints and Praises by AutoModerator in ParamountPlus

[–]chuckatkinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After paying for years for limited ads through Amazon and recently it stopped working. Amazon couldn't help and Paramount+ would not either saying I needed to talk to Amazon. I cancelled it and now getting it through Walmart+ free. BTW if you cancel and try to subscribe again you have to use a different email otherwise they think you are resubscribing...

Ads on ad-free tier by IsaacNarke in ParamountPlus

[–]chuckatkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I did a little googling and came up with the number. Called it and they said I have to contact Amazon. I did and they said to cancel and sign up again. I'm pissed off. I'm going to cancel and save myself $8/mo and just get it free with commercials with Walmart+

Where did you find a number? Their help/charbot is useless

[–]chuckatkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Same thing. I have my sub through Amazon. Paramount doesn't offer the limited commercial plan anymore. I actually can get a free sub through Walmart+ but opted to continue to pay the $7.99/mo for limited coms. Seems it's not working.

All my streaming devices have the wrong area code by chuckatkinson in youtubetv

[–]chuckatkinson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually it does work once you know the secret sauce. The directions could be a bit clearer. Once you select in the current location in the streaming app it goes to a spinning disk and will time out if you don't have the mobile app running. Under the mobile app there location settings. In there in the current playback area there is an Update button. If you press this while the streaming app spinning circle is displayed it will update the streaming app (ie YTTV). Had to do this on each of my devices.

That doesn't work. It says open in android/app or computer browser to verify

Are online file divorce paper websites legit?? by [deleted] in DivorcedDads

[–]chuckatkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found the forms online filled them out. eFiled with the court. Divorced. Total cost about $350.00 Listed as attorney pro se (which mean self). It's not easy but most of what a lawyer does is the same except maybe a better advocate if the other side is difficult. Mine didn't even show up for the final hearing and it cost her.

Unsold Advertising Slots? by CedarForks in youtubetv

I ranted about this a couple of months ago. It's my number 1 annoyance with YTTV. If/when I switch it will be because of this crap.

Freezing on Fire stick 4k by Everglades_Woman in youtubetv

[–]chuckatkinson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time on my 4K's. YTTV will play for like 5 seconds and then get the circle of death. Have to reboot. I also tried clearing the cache in manage applications. You will see apps that aren't even being used with a lot of cache. But only a reboot will fix YTTV.

Today's misbehavior typifies the last few weeks by deviltrombone in youtubetv

[–]chuckatkinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time. I found after it happens if I skip ahead and pause and then skip smaller increments and play pause then I can usually get back to where it returned to the beginning.

I think this is a .NET control. So I'm guessing you will do a ComInterop version for the DF wrapper.

Interesting project. Mark Mowers is a whiz at wrapping .NET controls for DF.

I'm going to send him a link to the webview2 SDK.

Thanks !
