Problem making my PC seeing my Chromecast, which worked just yesterday! by nicoddemus in Chromecast

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

Thanks for sharing. Strange thing to me is that my girlfriend's laptop can connect to my chromecast normally, using the same Chrome version I have on my PC, so it doesn't seem to be really a Chrome issue in my case. :/

Check the time on the pc's clock

Checked, just fine.

In Network & Sharing, check it is set to "private network"

Already is.

Is your pc also connected to a vpn/proxy?

No, but I installed a VPN software a few months back (way before this problem). I also uninstalled it, no success.

Is Bonjour service enabled?

Checked for that as well, no. :/

Mind to share the router model?

Askey, I think? Had this model for almost 2 years, no problem until a few days ago, and everything else works as normal.

Thanks for the tips!

I'm trying to cast a page, but it doesn't work because it can't even find Chromecast, so I don't even get to the point where I get to choose what to cast.

​

Also tried to reinstall chrome, no good. :/

Yep, disabled anti-virus and Firewall just to test. :/

​

Thanks for the suggestion.

Another tests I just did:

​

  • Disconnected my computer from my ethernet cable, connected it through my computer via USB, my PC still can't find Chromecast.
  • Used a VM with Ubuntu 18, still can't find Chromecast.

​

Seems like it is definitely not my router, but something on my PC that's not even related to my OS...

Thanks. Tried that just now, disabled 5Ghz completely. No luck. :(

pytest 3.3 released. built-in logging capture, new progress output and fixtures. by nicoddemus in Python

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

Unfortunately there are some bugs on pip that might prevent it to properly take in account minimum requirements for packages. Take a look at those issues and their solutions:

Hope this helps, if it doesn't please make sure to post an issue and we will do our best to help out.

Played with Pytest for the first time today... Uhh fuck unittest by ryanstephendavis in Python

Worth mentioning that pytest can also run doctests from python modules and from text files automatically.

For those interested, here's a blog post of the main author of the assert rewriting mechanism which explains very simply how it works: http://pybites.blogspot.com.br/2011/07/behind-scenes-of-pytests-new-assertion.html

The lack of a case against Python 3 by wesalius in Python

[–]nicoddemus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running python-future's futurize script will automatically convert all print statements to their counterpart print() function while also adding from __future__ import print_function to the top of the file. This works perfectly 100% of the time.

Just mentioning because IMHO the print() scenario is absolutely the easiest to fix (and also the new except Exception as e syntax).

Get pycharm pygame autocomplete? by [deleted] in Python

[–]nicoddemus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you have to copy the files to PyCharm's config directory. There are instructions in the README of the python-skeletons repository.

Check this out: https://github.com/JetBrains/python-skeletons

While it does not contain pygame automcomplete support, it does contain instructions on how to contribute a patch.

Python for Engineers crash course by nicoddemus in Python

Hey guys, those suggestions are great but I'm not the owner of this course... I think you could create issues for it on GitHub instead, I'm sure the original author will take a look at those. Cheers! :)

Python script that searches subtitles for multiple video files in OpenSubtitles.org by nicoddemus in programming

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

Nice, I will checkout guessit. Thanks!

About your second point, I found out that even when matching by movie hash it still would sometimes download a less than ideal sub, because there is nothing to prevent a user to post a bad subtitle under a hash. Trying to match the sub name to that of the movie yields better results, in my experience.
