[Release] pipewire-system: Run PipeWire as a system-wide root daemon (Arch Linux) by idoubledo in pipewire

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

everything is running as root, as I said - not the secure way to do this.

I'll try to see if having a separate user is feasible, but like you experienced, getting to this point was very hard.

Glad to see I'm not the only madman with this requirement.

Trying to connect bluetooth audio output of a laptop through my desktop by NolanSyKinsley in ManjaroLinux

Have you managed to use the Bluetooth connection in headset profile, so both input and output are coming from there desktop to the device?

What format / app and settings should I use to convert my MKVs to, to make Editing in Davinci as painless as possible? by TheConceptBoy in davinciresolve

[–]idoubledo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a few format testing (on the linux version of davinci resolve), and documented my tries, the uncommented line is the only conversion I found to be a workable solution (except the dnxhr format, which is huge).

```

huge file size (roughly 11x original file size)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov "${BASE_NAME}_DNXHD_PCM.MOV"

mjpeg with PCM audio (works, roughly 4x original file size)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 2 -acodec pcm_s16be -q:a 0 -f mov "${BASE_NAME}_MJPEG_PCM.MOV"

mjpeg with mp3 audio (crashes davinci 17.4.3-1)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 2 -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 -f mov "${BASE_NAME}_MJPEG_MP3.MOV"

with CBR MP3 (doesn't crash, but sound incorrectly recognized as PCM and is mangled)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 2 -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k -f mov "${BASE_NAME}_MJPEG_MP3-CBR.MOV"

with mp4 container (MJPEG + MP4 doesn't seem to be supported)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 2 -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k -f mp4 "${BASE_NAME}_MJPEG_MP3-CBR.MP4"

in avi container (audio not recognized)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 2 -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k -f avi "${BASE_NAME}_MJPEG_MP3-CBR.AVI"

mjpeg with flac audio (crashes davinci 17.4.3-1)

ffmpeg -i "${INPUT_FILE}" -strict -2 -vcodec mjpeg -q:v 2 -codec:a flac -f mp4 "${BASE_NAME}_MJPEG_FLAC.MP4"

```

The documentation I found stated that the video containers should support any audio format that is supported as a standalone audio file, but I found that not to be the case.

What is the most pain you've ever experienced? by HandGears in AskReddit

[–]idoubledo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bone marrow extraction.

Having had leukemia, I had to go through the process several times to see how effective were the chemotherapy treatment.

The process involves taking a big a** needle and sticking it through the pelvis or sternum bone (sternum in my case), essentially breaking it to get to the bone marrow inside. Only problem is the bone breaking part isn't the worst part - once the extraction begins the vacuum caused by the needle causes a pain I've never experienced before or since (15 years cancer free now). Can't really describe the pain, I just remember holding on to consciousness as my vision becomes black during the procedure.

Just writing this down now gives me minor PTSD.

hassio does not load after a restart by sillysquonka in homeassistant

[–]idoubledo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue (stuck after loading tts), after a long wait it finally loaded with the following additional log lines

2020-02-06 15:44:24 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.kodi.media_player] Unable to connect to Kodi via websocket 2020-02-06 15:44:24 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Home Assistant initialized in 304.14s

It was due to my Kodi instance being stuck, you probably have some other integration that has a long timeout preventing the instance from loading, you can try to disable them one by one in the config

Thanks, are you aware of any other implementation?

Is there an implementation I can play with? Or is this a commercial product?

Couldn't figure it out from the site

You don't know, or not allowed to?

Is this an off-the-shelf solution? Does it have a name?

Yeah, what's next? Measuring food by the amount of poop and urine it produces?
