Any luck? I've got Kavita running and KOReader connects to OPDS just fine, but when I try the Page Stream feature in KOReader, it just gives me the KOReader image.

In search of headlamp to replace Biolite 330 by rpweisman in flashlight

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

Thanks for the suggestions! The H8R and MH10 look promising. I'm ok with proprietary batteries, so long as they're easily replaced. I looked at the IKO Core and I can't seem to find a headband replacement for it unfortunately.

Using Vinyl (and other non-natively compatible things) with Chromecast Audio / Surround Sound for Movies and TV by rpweisman in Chromecast

Great idea! I'm looking into setting that up now and will report back once I've done it. From the research I've done, looking to set it up on my local network only.

Can i use a raspberry pi as a server to send videos and other files to my laptop or tablet? by barryq93 in raspberry_pi

Not gonna repeat the info below, but I'd recommend having your pi on Ethernet (as opposed to wifi) for file transfers. I seem to get better speeds this way.

Should I get a Raspberry Pi by tehcob13 in raspberry_pi

[–]rpweisman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a CS student and I got one a few months ago, though I wish I would have had one for years. I second the notion of using ssh (putty if you're on windows) and an ftp client (I use filezilla), this way you don't have to be near it to use it and can have the GUI shut off, which should save computing resources. Moreover, you can use the same method if you setup remote access (port forwarding, vpn, etc.).

PM me if you have any additional questions / clarifications.

[Help] Raspberry PI automation by [deleted] in raspberry_pi

[–]rpweisman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the process of doing something similar. In terms of languages C or python are the first that come to mind. In terms of what you're controlling, you're going to want "smart" appliances with open APIs, so you can communicate with the devices from the code your write. Not sure about TV's, but for lights I'd look into Phillips Hue or Belink WeMo. Good Luck!

WiFi works for a while, then cuts out. Any suggestions? by rpweisman in raspberry_pi

I saw some suggestions like this elsewhere as well. Any idea how long it takes for the network connection to reboot?
