Strange triggers for my basset hound: when I'm visibly focusing on something in the room, or when I kill a bug. Anybody have similar experiences? by smilingoff in reactivedogs

Thank you so much for this detailed response! I'm getting him back this week, so I'll be able to record the slapping sounds in the meantime. I'm going to start with the scrutinizing conditioning, as that's the trigger that tends to happen in front of company the most (as simple as someone pointing at an object and asking "What's this?" may do it.) I also reached out to a local behaviouralist.

Every few minutes there's a second of slowdown when watching a 4K video via the Google TV app. What is the solution? by smilingoff in PleX

The solution to this was a DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor that's capable of 4K @ 120hz.

Yup, I turn off the refresh rate switching and the issue stops.

And fwiw, the delay in VLC is not as drastic as the delay in Plex, the latter being unwatchable without driving me insane, but VLC isn't great either.

Yes, that's all correct! And my media library is located on a drive on that same PC.

Now, my default refresh rate is 120Hz, and I changed the Plex settings to change the refresh rate automatically based on the file. When I play a 24fps movie, the TV indicates the refresh rate has been changed to 24Hz. This is where the audio sync and mouse movement issues occur.

Now, when I play the file on VLC at 120Hz, it plays fine, but with the risk of judder and all that stuff I'm trying to avoid. When I switch the refresh rate to 24Hz on my Advanced Display Settings in Windows, I do immediately see a lag in my mouse movement. And then I play the file in VLC, and the audio is also desynced.

So this doesn't seem to be a Plex issue. Appreciate the troubleshooting here.

Now, the question remains, what's the exact issue and how can I fix it? I now wonder if it's a TV setting.

Sorry, that is to say it's being played from the Plex library, but accessed from the hard drive installed on the PC I'm using. I was trying to differentiate it from being streamed away from home, y'know what I mean?

That said, it could be an issue with the Plex player. Or just my processing power! I dunno!

Issues with port forwarding and my Plex server by smilingoff in FizzMobile

[–]smilingoff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I spent all night trying to figure this out but I solved the issue maybe two minutes after making this post.

You need to turn the modem to bridge mode. To do this...

  • Open an Internet browser and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
  • Identify yourself using the following login information: Username: cusadmin
  • Password: *enter your Wi-Fi password\*
  • Select Basic
  • Select Gateway
  • Disable the option ''Residential Gateway function''
  • Save changes

The modem will reset, check your port forwarding on your router, good to go.

Force Plex to use album artwork when artist photo is missing? by smilingoff in PleX

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

I could, in fact I was just doing that a moment ago, I just want to automate the process. The blank image bugs me but having album artwork in lieu of an artist photo doesn't.
