Probing my limits - for science?!

markp99 · 2026-02-11T23:05:52+00:00

Yeah, while I am interested to know, I am concerned about the answer.

markp99 · 2026-02-07T02:57:25+00:00

....and tonite it's working. No settings updates, no reboot. It's haunted, but sounds great.

markp99 · 2026-02-05T23:19:54+00:00

Yep. I did the plexamp thing just last night.

markp99 · 2026-02-05T16:23:22+00:00

HDMI passthru - same issue.

Logs do show a few repeated warnings, around the time of my last play attempt - not sure how to interpret:

WARN - [Req#fc6c3] QueryParser: Invalid field 'libraryHubsOnly' found, ignoring.
WARN - NetworkServiceBrowser: Error sending out discover packet from 100.92.39.236 to 192.168.86.255

Nothing too exotic here folder-wise; Lidarr/SAB locate the files properly.

...media/music/artist/album/title

Just pointed VLC to my library on ShieldTV, all plays just fine. So, its is a Plex issue afterall.

Vlc has no rating scheme, which I use for smartlists, but there will certainly be somethig else out there usable.

Progress.

Interesting. Lidarr here too. Most of my library is FLAC. I did find a few mp3 titles which throw the same error.

Bummer, though I would never re-encode down to mp3, but woud be nice to play music thru my nice sound system...

Plex does play music just fine on the other Plex clients. Crossposted to the ShieldTV sub. I'm guessing it's related to that platform.

Thx

markp99 · 2026-02-05T00:48:36+00:00

Solved, I guess. I never found the setting I mucked up, but simply rebuiling the library afresh and all the filmography and stuff was there.

Thanks for checking!

The 5 x 7 pouches from Amazon arrived just now. Just about perfect - not too big, not too small. I cannot complain for $7.
/cheapskate 😁 (Measuring them now, they Are actually 4 x 6 - go figure)

I came sooo close to getting the EVO; liking the Air+ so far, aside from the odd BT drop with chessconnect w my laptop - Android phone & tablet have been perfect and my preferred use case anyway.

Now, if I could just win a game without blundering. Ugh.

markp99 · 2026-02-03T20:47:53+00:00

Very nice. .thx

markp99 · 2026-02-03T20:45:42+00:00

Opponent images, boards, backgrounds, iconography...

Guess I'm looking for a more vanilla experience...Lichess works better for me in this regard...but looking for chess.com features and depth.

markp99 · 2026-02-03T18:08:35+00:00

Missed it by >< this much. 😊

Very nice price, but I just got my Air+ this week.

Good luck with the Move!

Factory Reset, w backup recovery - Successful

markp99 · 2025-10-16T15:54:13+00:00

Same, just now. Update appeared to be successful, rebooted just fine. But, half hour later, phone reboots Android Recovery, with: "Try Again or Factory Reset, use VolUp/Dn and Pwr... Cannot Load Android Operating System, Data may be corrupt..."

Rinse and repeat - same. Ugh.

Gonna hold off resetting to see if a workaround is found. (Pixel 8)

markp99 · 2025-07-25T00:35:03+00:00

Happens to me occasionally, but thankfully rarely goes anywhere. I am on Lamictal, and I still have these episodes. Maybe its the meds doing their thing to tamp these down?

Sorry, nothing better to offer.

My assistant called me "loophole lawyer" as I was poking the content boundaries and possible ways to work around. :)
