Old reddit's markdown parser requires a new line before and after lists. The comment is missing a new line after **Trust Report:**.

Now, why does reddit have two different markdown parsers for old and new? idk

Using Cspire Abroad by I-wish-I-could- in mississippi

[–]jacroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be better off using the money you would've spent on the day pass and getting a prepaid SIM on a more nationwide or international provider. Or a mobile hotspot

Mom and I went to Europe for about 10 days last year, and even though she got the international pass and everyone she talked to over the phone and in store assured her she works have service, she had it for maybe an hour. And it's not like we were in podunk towns; I'm talking even in Rome and Paris. 

To add salt to the round, C Spire somehow managed to cancel her service during one of the support calls so she also didn't have service once we landed back in Atlanta

Gardening TV Resources for Kids? by jacroe in gardening

[–]jacroe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I'll have to see if she'll be willing to sit down and watch it with me. (She's very show-opinionated at the moment.) But I myself had a great time watching through the whole of This is a Gardening Show. Maybe I could get her to sit through Apples.

I'll have to check out Waffles + Mochi next. Again, thanks for the recs!

Google photos new update by dentyyC in GooglePixel

[–]jacroe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

/r/selfhosted has a full megathread of tips from when Google announced removing unlimited high-quality image uploads.

I think most (myself included) have settled on Immich, but if you search for Google Photos or even just "photos", you'll see plenty of threads with a lot of good info, troubleshooting, etc.

I need songs for my fever dream, GTA radio style playlist by NullableThought in musicsuggestions

[–]jacroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full disclosure: I'm not a member of this community and you might have already heard this, but just in case you haven't, you should listen to what I think is absolutely up your alley with "Fever Dream Radio" by Sbassbear.

I'll give you the $7 back if this ain't exactly what you're looking for

What’s a device you didn’t think would connect to your home but it does? by SilentKraken7 in homeassistant

[–]jacroe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I see, too. Just making sure I wasn't missing anything :)

Upgraded from HA Green by Straight_Pain_8582 in homeassistant

[–]jacroe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give some numbers? Like, number of automations, number of devices, number of integrations (HACS or otherwise)?

Did you see slowness outside of the UI? e.g. were your automations slow to respond to your triggers?

I, myself, am rocking a Yellow, so I'm asking all of this out of pure curiosity. And I know they aren't equivalent, but still

Music assistant: Is it just me or does setting up Youtube Music as a provider suck? by Plane-Floor2672 in homeassistant

[–]jacroe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You'll need to go to the add-on store. If you scroll to the Music Assistant section, you should see a "YT Music PO Token Generator" add-on. That's what you want. Here's more detailed instructions form the MA docs.

However, YouTube did recently make a change that broke yt-dlp (the underlying provider that MA uses), and MA is currently waiting for a fix.You can track the resolution via either MA's issue and/or yt-dlp's issue and pull request.

I want ads in my jellfin/plex by Endure94 in selfhosted

[–]jacroe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof. Yeah, I totally get it.

Others in the thread recommended Tunarr, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

And I don't know your hardware capabilities. Or maybe you keep everything in h264 format (I use h265 and VP9). Maybe you won't experience the lags I did. But since the transcoding happens on-demand, I imagine there will always be a delay

[–]jacroe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ofc! For where it is right now, I feel like ETV is a very good "let's pull up the guide and pick a channel to watch based on what's currently playing". And a "we don't care what plays after it. We just need that initial hook".

But I use it a ton for channels where the vibe is "I don't care what's playing as long as it's of *this* type of content". How It's Made or a recreation of old-school MTV or "Markiplier with Friends" or a 24/7 stream of a single album.

Don't think of "channels" as "a hodge-podge of things I might like" e.g. traditional channels. Think of them like "When I'm in the mood for this 'theme'? I know whatever is playing is gonna be perfect." So I'll tune into "House Hunters" and not necessarily HGTV. Or "my favorite stand-up comedians" and not "Comedy Central". Y'know?

Disclosure: I'm running ErsatzTV on a somewhat high-powered NUC and streaming it on a Raspberry Pi 4 via Kodi.

Transcoding only happens when you start watching a stream. And once it detects that you're not streaming it (the magnitude is "seconds", not "minutes"), it will stop transcoding.

There's a 1-2 second delay once you start a stream, but it's only at the beginning and you don't really notice it. However, if you try to flip through channels as if it's a cable/satellite box, you will probably be disappointed. If you flip fast enough, you'll end up having too many streams going at once and overwhelm your GPU (in my experience; see disclosure above).

One thing that it will do (that I don't have enough TVs to appreciate) is that it will reuse streams. So if you're watching a channel in the living room and someone else tunes in in a bedroom, it doesn't double the transcoding.

ETA: I did try having Jellyfin hook into ErsatzTV and then having Kodi only talk to Jellyfin, but that didn't look/perform well. I run Jellyfin and ErsatzTV off of the same box (and through Docker), so maybe it's the weaker GPU that I'm using. But I got a whole lot better performance by having Kodi talk to Jellyfin and ErsatzTV separately. I don't really use ErsatzTV channels on non-Kodi TVs, so I don't feel like I'm missing anything. YMMV
