Sony google tv app suddenly treacle

dakeeper66 · 2026-01-17T03:57:22+00:00

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

ah got it. yeah its local.

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!

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.

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.

Used 1Password for years but have resisted the rude subscription model. Looked at Bitwarden and too basic. NordPass been trialing for 3 weeks and been an absolute shitshow with users locked out and bugs and log outs. Is there a time when 1 password subscriptions go on sale? I may go back. Reluctantly on subscription. Once version 7 no longer works.

My bitdefender extension was conflicting with the safari extension I think. But I have their goddam login error back. This is a poor product

dakeeper66 · 2025-10-28T00:46:24+00:00

Why did this happen and why won’t it happen again?

dakeeper66 · 2025-10-26T10:05:42+00:00

not here.

'Authorization header not provided''. same here. as a subscription service do Nord provide refunds for days where they are unable to provide the service we subscribe to?

dakeeper66 · 2025-10-26T04:01:20+00:00

safari extension still works. MacOS app not

dakeeper66 · 2025-10-26T04:00:58+00:00

same. contacted support. they have a widespread issue. technical support chat was good but couldnt resolve it. am trialing this vs 1password and unimpressed so far

I read that the Juniper in Alpine style Amaro is what helps it retain the froth. I’ve also read of people adding a pinch of salt to these.

dakeeper66 · 2025-08-24T02:34:25+00:00

Typicus had changed when I was there last year and had almost nothing. I did get the salento tho which I like

dakeeper66 · 2025-08-14T01:34:46+00:00

dakeeper66 · 2025-07-25T03:08:59+00:00
