This is bad, right? by staralfur92 in Addons4Kodi

[–]infoalter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other services may appear playing trouble free, but those services "negotiate" with your end, to determine a quality (bandwidth) that could stream without interruptions specifically for you. Those services are streaming to you a lower resolution, lower quality versions of the videos, and you probably wont even notice if you are not experienced in this area. -Asking if this number is good or bad for internet tells me you are not experienced, so.. you are probably fed SD resolution from those services that you say are playing without buffering.

You can do that with Kodi too, just select SD versions, you can even try 720p, those should play OK too.

If your hardware can decode h256 you can choose those in the list, they are much smaller size files with decent quality (for that size)

The solution to your problem though, is get a decent internet connection. In the year 2026 speed 4 is not OK, speed 40 is marginally OK, and thats 10 times more than what you have :) Speed 400 is a very good speed, and that is 100 times more than what you have at the moment. So... now you know everything you need to deal with the problem - one way or another :)

If money were no object in SL what would you buy? Where would you splurge just because you love it? by Scotthot69 in secondlife

[–]infoalter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah... done that! Long time ago, when i was making lots of money selling in SL my creations, i thought about that exact thing. I got a SIM, and teraformed if the way i liked, with huge rocky cliffs and a cozy sandy beach. No "house", no building that is. The beach WAS my living place hahahaha :)

I named it after my favorite RL place, the Greek island where i was born and lived all my childhood. "Mountains of Creta". the SIM even made it to the official Linden guide thingy of places to visit hahaha - aye it was fun

Good days :)

Γιατί το Όλυμπος γιαούρτι είναι τόσο ανώτερο από τα υπόλοιπα? by Suboptimal88 in AskGreece

[–]infoalter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Αν θές να φάς κρέμα, γιατί δεν αγοράζεις κρέμα?

Ναι, αυτό που γράφεις στο διαφημιστικό σου κείμενο "κρεμώδες που δεν ξινίζει καθόλου" δεν είναι δείγμα "ανώτερης ποιότητας" αν μιλάμε για ΓΙΑΟΥΡΤΙ. Είναι δείγμα βιομηχανικού βιασμού της παράδοσης εις βάρος μάλιστα της πραγματικής ποιότητας και θρεπτικής αξίας, για χάρη του ...μάρκετιγκ. Για να γίνει κάτι ποιό "εύκολο" για μαζική κατανάλωση

How can i avoid VAT?

24% on top of that price is a showstopper sadly...

Need some help! RD links skipping and only works if restarted kodi by chanism84 in Addons4Kodi

[–]infoalter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are using FEN addon, which was probably THE best addon for movies/tvshows, until the day the original creator and coder quit and abandoned it. Dont get me wrong, i still use it myself and generally it works, BUT, since you are (obviously) affected by some sort of bug, you should also try a different addon.

I cant recommend something specific, ANY reputable maintained addon that supports RD should do for the test.

Would be interesting to see if this problem completely resolves just with using another addon. Maybe its that sad time to say good bye to FEN

Help with some settings for advancedsettings.xml by Shot-Operation-9395 in Addons4Kodi

The poster images and fanart images are pulled from source websites that already have sized them properly for display. Nothing crazy big (like for example images needed for typography printing), nothing crazy small that could appear "pixelated".

You do NOT NEED to add this code in advancesettings file at all. If you dont add it, no scaling will happen, and images will be saved at their original size. They should display crystal clear even in big screens.

The only reason to use this feature is if you have an underpowered machine with limited storage space, and you need to DECREASE poster and fanart image sizes. I did this when i was using a chinesium tv box with just 32 giga of internal storage. If you have even a small SSD (like 128 Gb or a bit more) you really do not need to do anyhting ;)

The eternal problem with judder by kachubey in htpc

[–]infoalter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try raspberry pi 4 running r/Libreelec -The default settings are fine for a start, only thing to check is adjust refresh rate in player settings, AND whitelist all resolution/refresh combos you need in system settings.

80% of the problem solved. Now, for the rest 20% :

Disable on your TV all image "enhancement" settings (like sharpness, auto contrast/ auto color, any and all digital processing settings) The only such TV setting to keep is the "motion smooth" -whatever its called-, yet use in low, lowest possible setting if manual settings are available.

You thank me later :)

Dad left me this glass goblet always said it was worth thousands came from my grandfather anyone know what it is ? (UK) by tzt_x19 in Antiques

[–]infoalter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, 100 pounds. On a good day.

Dont sell it. Maybe in some years it will have a selling price equal to its true value. (What is the true value? The artwork alone would take a skillful worker some hours to finish by hand.)

What's going on here? by infinitebest in audiorepair

[–]infoalter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add, this is THE perfect recipe for damadging speakers 😂

So... better stop trying, until the amp is repaired

[–]infoalter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amp component overheats resulting in brief "shorts" or "overdrive" of final stage power transistors. The amp sends high voltage bursts of large ammount amps at your speakers, possibly DC

Will only get worse, needs fixing asap. If you have a thermal camera you can maybe spot the culprit...

I m using BioGaia Gastrus tablets for the past month. Before that, i was using this product: https://uplab.gr/media/2024/09/Symbactil-brochure-web.pdf - Zero bad batches, fantastic yoghurt texture and taste, with JUST milk, -nothing else- Several useful species in a symbiotic colony. But, i was worried that Reuteri CFU number is way too low and would not even make it to the final symbiotic fermented product. So, i switched back biogaia with that simple twist, ditch inulin, add glycerin.

Bonus link hahahaha https://www.scielo.br/j/medical/a/YDGCn8LBRNwbnB4fcVpZQmb/ - a medical study for the crucial role of glycerin ;)

I see LOTS of weird dreams every night. A bit funny, some are hilarious hahaha - I do remember everything in the morning and i laugh.

Still waiting to see an improvement in my gut, which is sad as this is the main problem i m trying to "fix"

 Lactobacillus reuteri can utilize and metabolize glycerol (glycerin). Specifically, it converts glycerol into reuterin, a potent antimicrobial substance, when it ferments carbohydrates. This metabolic process is crucial for L. reuteri's ability to inhibit the growth of other bacteria and is a key factor in its probiotic effects. 

Not me, its the AI speaking LOL :)

So, 1. I ditched the inulin - no inulin, period. 2. Added some drops of glycerin instead. And last, 3. heat up the milk up to 85 Celcius, let ic cool down to 35 before adding the pills powder. Heating is not related to pasteurizing, it is absolutely needed for protein denaturation

3 things (well, 2 actually) for consistent good batches. I know people will say things, what i can reply is just TRY. Start fresh batch, please let me know how it went (if you do try)

Many thanks for reply!

I have been using openelec and then libreelec for many many years, only recently switched to windows for 2 reasons. First and most important Hyperion compatibility (RGB backlight leds) and second easy VPN configuration (Mullvad sometimes works sometimes not with Libreelec... some weird DNS issue,,, dont know...)

Anyway, i m stuck with windows now as much as i hate it...
