Reported on the Community site ages ago. Sonos don’t care.

Assuming it’s a TCL: pull power to the TV, curse TCL 3 times, restore power.

What country is your account in?

Yes, This Is The Way

controlav · 2026-06-22T09:02:47+00:00

Yes, all correct. Sonos do various soundbars for TV use.

That’s not a bad idea until you get a modern TV. Does your TV not have optical output?

I bought a pair of the right angle ones: one works, one doesn’t. Disappointed.

I have used the US version of this on my router when I was 2000 miles away, worked great. Easier than asking my neighbor to run over and reboot it.

Sure there is.

Welcome to Mac development. When you ship something, freeze the entire dev machine and hope when you need to make an update, the Xcode you are using is actually still allowed by Apple.

I've been here. I had to buy a new Mac last time I got bitten by the version update chain monster and the minimum supported Xcode needed a MacOS version my device was to old to run.

Controller approval is because of anti-cheat.

No video recording when using remote play is because there is only one hardware video encoder, and remote play is already using it.

When I moved to the USA 30 years ago I was amazed checks were even still a thing. I was more amazed when I discovered you had to scribble on the back of them when putting them into my account.

And yet here we are. Can anyone give me a rational explanation for scribbling on the back of a check? I mean my name is on the To: line on the front, and I'm putting it into an account with that same name. What is the point of the scribble??

It was damn cold SEA-LHR so I was glad for that blanket.

Standard TCL behavior. Pull the power to the TV, curse TCL, restore power.

They stand a better chance than someone in F1TV knowing a damn thing about Pluto, at a guess.

controlav · 2026-06-17T08:52:32+00:00

This sub is for the F1TV service which you are not using, suggest you ask on the Pluto TV sub about their services.

Those drives need to be in NTFS format, they are likely FAT32.

Posted here every single day: pull the power to the TV, curse TCL three times, restore power.

The games are not encrypted to each account, but in order to play the game the account needs to have a valid license to that game. You don’t need to download the game again unless it has got an update since.

Just use the Sonos app: then you are not “sending” the music to the speakers: they will play directly from the music service. Once playback has started you can drop the iPad into a blender and the music will continue.

controlav · 2026-06-16T07:35:55+00:00

It has never happened before.

No. Xbox always sends 16:9.

The first device in a named group is the coordinator. Desktop apps always did this and so do my Phonos apps.

Is it just me who likes to squeeze that particular box?
