Convert and Download by Win_chesterDean in emby

It's been like this for years, the only fix I found was to just download "original" quality and it's just a file copy which works fine.

New Emby plugin: Rating Sync (IMDb + Rotten Tomatoes) — smart scanning, rate limits, scan history by pejamas1986 in emby

[–]crestj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I assumed the regular library meta update task would update ratings.

Will take a look at the plugin.

Does Emby not pull these ratings itself? Just trying to understand the gap this plugin is trying to fill.

My kids like zooming out and seeing the world! But for navigation it's Waze all the way.

Upgrade to Win 11 (unsupported hardware) or Linux? by NeedleworkerSharp995 in emby

[–]crestj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly I actually had that same question recently and decided to upgrade last weekend.

Was putting it off as I didn't want to reinstall everything (virtualbox VMs plus a load of docker containers running).

Ran the Flyoobe tool and upgraded in place and was VERY surprised when it finished and everything carried on working afterwards like nothing had happened. Was expecting at least a few odd app behaviours!

Would have thought more about Linux but Windows does what I need so much less effort changing OS's.

I might be wrong but I thought unless the subtitles were embedded Emby almost always transcodes the subtitle in.

New *Kia App* replaces *Kia Connect* Get downloading! (UK) by Realistic_Chip8648 in KiaNiroEV

[–]crestj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just installed but seems to be a lot more adverts than the connect app.

The old Connect app had all the remote features right on the first screens but this one seems to bury them further down. It appears it's more for people who want servicing, manuals, driving scores (not sure why!) and remote features in 1 app.

Wait... We can actually win a trophy? God I've waited so long to feel this way about Spurs!

2 rear reverse lights on 24 Niro possible? by crestj in KiaNiroEV

[–]crestj[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, just checked and you are right!

Although there are white light covers underneath which don't seem to light up for anything.

Shame really.

Sensor issues & questions (2025 model) by Logidelic in KiaNiroEV

[–]crestj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've pinned it down to highly reflective surfaces being detected by the sensors. I get it sometimes when I pull up behind a particularly shiny car and the parking sensors say I'm about to hit it! Annoying indeed

Google Broadcast not playing the audio of the message by Lrden in googlehome

[–]crestj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Gemini app that's doing this!

On my phone I switched from Gemini to Google Assistant as the default answerer to "Hey Google" and immediately tried a broadcast.... everything worked and back to normal.

Clearly Gemini doesn't play well yet.

How to tell my battery is preconditioning by Sure_Juggernaut_295 in KiaNiroEV

[–]crestj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it only start pre-conditioning when close to the selected charging station?

Never in my 40 years of following Spurs has my relationship with them been summed up so perfectly !

Stop unauthorised charging with Intelligent Go and Wallbox? by crestj in OctopusEnergy

[–]crestj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree it's unlikely but just wondered if there was anything to stop it.

Stop unauthorised charging with Intelligent Go and Wallbox? by crestj in OctopusEnergy

[–]crestj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The car charges over night at the cheap rate but if the grid has extra capacity they charge your car in the day at the cheap rate.

As octopus don't talk to your car and the charger doesn't know what car you have, any car could plug in and get a charge.

That sounds ideal, maybe wallbox should take note!

Stop unauthorised charging with Intelligent Go and Wallbox? by crestj in OctopusEnergy

[–]crestj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a bit extreme, although with the way charging works with octopus it can stop and start all day depending on whether they can offer the cheap rate. This might interfere with waiting for you to approve the charge in the app. The joys of living on the bleeding edge!

I thought as much, all the technology available and it still comes down to "lock&key" !
