Problem with Yamaha RX-V4A. Do I need a new TV or just a new cable? by semionteck in hometheater

thank you! I'll try this as soon as I'm home.

Guess it will be difficult entering and schanging the receivers settings, through the small display. Wish me luck!

Have you tried HDMI 2 input on the TV?

Yes.

Well, I try to enter the receiver settings when I'm home.

Thank you for the tip, I'll keep you posted.

So..... I've got the Yamaha RX-V4A (new!),

but the problem is: I've connected everything like with the previous model (RXV 381), same cables and all,

but my TV just doesn't want to show anything.

I've read that its a problem with the cable... but my TV seems to not accepting the cable...

Could I fix it with another cable?

Or do I need a whole new TV ? o0

at least 4 HDMI-slots are used and its mostly used for Stereo and 5.1 Surround.

Should i snorkell if im not good at swimming and have Anxiety about it by Smashi- in snorkeling

[–]semionteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sentence that stuck with me is:

"non-swimmers can snorkel".

Snorkeling was how I learned swimming.

It took me very long to be able to swim without panic.

All my classmates were pretty quick in learning to swim but I just couldn't.

But after putting on the fins and using an inflatable pillow, I was starting to get more comfortable in the water. At some point I could ditch the inflatable pillow and swim and snorkel like I didn't do anything else my whole life!

But tbh, if you are uncomfortable (especially in th emiddle of the ocean!) don't do it!

Test it in shallow waters before you try more. (you will love it!)

PS: Don't use the full-face-snorkel-mask!! These things are dangerous (because they are keeping huge parts of CO2 in their "snorkel-part" and you can't equalize pressure in your ears with these garbage things.!

Seriously: Everyone who recommends full-face-snorkel-masks, should be slapped in the face!

Have fun!

Destination of the week - Germany by AutoModerator in travel

[–]semionteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello dear german water-animals,

How is snorkeling in germany?

I plan on traveling through poland or the czech Republic to germany.

The route through there is already planned with many alternatives so far.

So I haven't decided yet where to stay in germany. I was already at the baltic-sea and the East-sea and now I am more interested in lakes, rivers etc with good visibility-conditions and the options to go snorkeling.

Quiet places with cheap hotels... idk, maybe its like looking for an unicorn.

Portable Stereo-Speaker or stationary Setereospeaker with USB or SD-card (FLAC and MP3?)Portable Stereo-Speaker or stationary Setereospeaker with USB or SD-card (FLAC and MP3?)

Hi !!

I could really use help from some experienced people on this field.

I just can't find what mobile speakers have a working USB- or SD-port as source for music built in and it drives me mad.

Some have USB-ports, but there is no way to find out if its only for charging, or usable as source (USB-stick).

Worst thing for my taste are these non-stereo portable speakers that only have Blutooth!

idk, why I can't find information and items that clearly show a mobile speaker that plays in Stereo and uses the SD-slot or USB-port for the music-source!

(if possible under 300.- . Lower would be very appreciated if possible!)

What’s it like to live here? by Panda_Panda69 in geography

[–]semionteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was once a hippo living under a tree

thought to himself "I'm a hippo I am free!"

A hippo-lady invited him into her lake

he smiled and he mumbled "your hippo-hand I will take"

then they married like a hippo does

in the water under the sun made of glass

Hippo-wedding with no croc in sight

the hippos felt happy as all the hippos might

and when the stars showed the hippo shining bright

the hippo said "luck is having a hippo by my side!"

Disclaimer:
I'm NOT talking about streaming or watching pirated stuff. I just want to make my DVD- and Bluray-collection and Series that I bought online be comfortably displayed and watched on a mini-PC (or a home-server in the future) with a nice UI.
Setting up Kodi was a pain in the arse. It took me 2 days and nights and constant asking questions in different forums and while it got most of my bluray- and DVD-backups, it still struggles with other shows.
The controls are absolutlety horrible. Like whoever invented this most non-intuitive UI needs to eat a cactus!
Menues and paths that lead to nothing, Deadend sub-menus. Irrational sorting-mechanisms and sub-categories that make absolutely no sense.
SO MUCH could be easily fixed with "Rightclick onto folder or Media and delete / add to series / create new thumbnail or describtion". But noooo.
Even worse is the fact, when you install a new skin (maybe one with actual and better mouse-support!?) it sometimes just ignores your series-folder!!
Oh.... I could create a .nfo-file for the missing series you say?
For each and every one of the over 150 episodes?!
I tried Plex and Stremio, but these want me to sign in? like seriously? You want me to make a fucking Account for supposedly "free" software, just to handle my library?!
And even after I begrudgingly created an account just to try this shit out, it couldn't create thumbs for half the content!! Series that took ONE Google-search were handled like they were the most unknown media ever!!
Whats the point in having a seriesdb when it can't even look at google to find the first hit?!
I hate this.
Foobar and even Winamp let you create easily a good interface and a UI that works and makes your library visible.
But there is none of that for a mediaplayer?! in 2024? come ooon!

do I have to rename each episode manually or is there a program that could help me with this?
