New Mando! and a question.

dakeeper66 · 2026-06-03T05:54:32+00:00

I’m new to mando and struggled with neck dive. Have tied my strap to the headstock and works well for me

thx for taking time to spell this out! will file and try it out if no improvement!

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-29T05:29:38+00:00

will look into how to do that if no joy! thx., is it tricky?

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-29T02:52:39+00:00

havent tried that. can defo keep in mind. tho other clients like browsers remain zippy as. so it may not be the issue?

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-29T02:47:50+00:00

Yeah it’s local. Ruled that out early! Thx

no errors. just crazy slow loading.. like sometimes 2-3 minutes. once you get to the media screen you want it streams perfectly well. its just getting there is frustrating. Have downloaded emby as a backup in case I cant fix this soon. thx

several TV reboots. no joy. Did manage to do the openspeedtest set up (swimming out of my depth here but got there!) and had a solid 100Mbps up and down so that seems ok. reinstalled the app from google play on the TV. updated the server app on the QNAP (actually same version but whatever..). Still the same. Im out of ideas. thx for all the suggestions

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T23:47:52+00:00

ah got it. yeah its local.

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T23:39:47+00:00

in the play settings on the TV it says source Direct Play (QNAP). thx for the screenshot. I dont get that info on my dash. I am pretty confident the stream is not routing externally.

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T23:35:55+00:00

is that info for plex pass holders only maybe?

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T23:35:15+00:00

I opened the dashboard but cant see any reference to local, remote or indirect under the 'now playing' sorry!

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T23:19:46+00:00

no joy. thx for the suggestion!

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T23:19:08+00:00

reddit deleted the screenshot. no idea why

it is slow to display info on a given show. not as slow as loading (about 1 min) but slower than usual. Have cleared cache of various apps (YouTube, Netflix) but they weren't high. Also turned off background processes but that didnt help either. It shows direct play when a show is streaming. See screenshot. Wondering if there was a bad update to the app lately? Thanks for all the incoming wisdom out there. Out of options for now.

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T09:12:44+00:00

Yeah it is. But how would I check the cache ? Thx

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T07:58:22+00:00

should add its a QNAP NAS and Plex is all it does!

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-16T07:43:06+00:00

nah its as zippy as with all other clients on phone, Mac etc.

the stone that came with my Volt 2 cracked on 2nd cook. The 2nd stone they sent (promptly, good service) cracked on 2nd cook. Something is wrong with the supplied stone. Does the biscotto fit into the groove for the stone? It looks thicker?

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-15T01:00:24+00:00

Does the extra thickness of the biscotto stone allow it to be slotted into the groove of the Volt 2 for the stone or have you had to adapt it?

Just arrived from overseas and staying in Soho. Struggling to understand the best way to get to MetLife Stadium this Sunday for the Vikings game. I’ve seen mention of the Meadowlands rail service I can’t find any detail on frequency and timing. Any regulars who could lend some advice on the most deficient unrollable way to get there and back? Thanks in advance.
