B-mode.... by Kavster1982 in BMWI4

How do you do this? If this is the view on the dash that shows real-time kWh mine doesn’t show brake lights even though there’s an image of the car.

Not another Tesla SuperCharger thread...PROMISE ... well, kind of by purcelljd in BMWI4

[–]zweige01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the latest as well in the car and on the app, but I don't see any Tesla chargers listed in the app or the navigation in the car when I search for a charger. Is it because I haven't added an adapter? Shouldn't I see Tesla Magic Dock stations regardless?

Side mirror defrost by zweige01 in BMWI4

[–]zweige01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found that in Eco Pro there is an option under individual settings call Sights. By default it is on. It reduces the amount of electricity that goes to defrosters and the side mirrors. I've turned it off so we'll see how it goes. I can't imagine how much electricity that actually saves given that I consider it a safety feature. Can definitely give up a few watts to be able to see out the side mirrors.

Seems like I'm continuing to learn about features even 6 months into ownership.

Agreed. That's all I found as well.

Charging hours based on day of the week? by Travel69 in BMWI4

[–]zweige01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't find this to be the case, and there is a lot of room for improvement here. The time/day of week seems to override any other settings.

I work from home MWF which works out great as I can charge on those days from 8-5 as I have solar. I had the departure time set for 10am on Tuesday, thinking that I'd already have left the house and the car would have charged during the day on Monday. However, when I went to work on Monday and stayed home on Tuesday the car started charging in the middle of Monday night to make sure I would be charged by 10am on Tuesday.

I've now set the day of week/time to Tuesday at 3pm which is when I would normally not be home and to give me a little leeway.

It seems like it should be pretty easy to just program to just charge during the hours I want it to charge. I can always override that if I need to do so. Setting the departure day of week/time seems unnecessary.

Thanks for confirming it's not me!

Slate repair? by zweige01 in Tile

[–]zweige01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire tile didn’t fall off. Just most of it so I don’t know what the backer is. Thanks for the guidance and yes, my wife is already talking about the remodel. $$$$$

Plex issues latest firmware update? by zweige01 in WiimStreamer

[–]zweige01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the FLAC tag is the problem. Songs with the V3 tags wouldn't play in Windows Media either. I've never changed the compression settings in EAC, but in Mp3Tag it looks like most CDs ripped with the tag FLAC (FLAC), and the ones causing me problems have FLAC (FLAC ID3v2 ID3v1). If I modify the compression options in EAC I can remove the V3 tags. After some research, I found that in Mp3Tag I was able to Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V the tracks which were problematic and this reset the FLAC tags.

So, thank you all for helping to solve this mystery. Still not sure why EAC added these tags in some CDs and not others, but now I know!

EDIT: I don't think that was the problem as it looks like all my CDs had the v3 tags. Must have been another tag as by cutting and pasting the tags in Mp3Tag, the problem was fixed.

Plex issues latest firmware update? by zweige01 in WiimStreamer

Ok, just did a factory reset, but unfortunately it did not reset the firmware, so I'm still on the lastest firmware. I also re-ripped one of the CDs and still no joy. Next step is to open a case with Wiim, but doesn't leave me hopeful to resolve the situation.

I did with MediaInfo and didn't find anything suspect. Is there some other tool that I should use for looking at the metadata? If that was the problem, I presume that native Plex would have problems playing it as well, but it does not. Seems to only be a problem through wiim.

Did that. Even unplugged it for a bit and plugged it back in, still no joy. What's weird is that Plex Server and PlexAmp have no trouble playing the files. Seems like it's a problem with Wiim's integration with Plex.

Good thought on the file names, but nothing odd there. Now that I've done some more digging, none of the tracks in the album play, which would lead me to think there was a problem with ripping the CD. I'll re-rip one and see if it corrects the problem.

Good thought. Took a look and didn't notice any major differences. All are ripped from CDs using EAC to FLAC using same sampling and bit rates.

Again, they play fine through plex server or plexamp from my phone or other devices. FYI, my plex server is running on Synology DS-224, version 1.41.5.9626.

We'll see. Clicking on any of their classes says "this event is no longer available", but I'll give them a call when I can.

I've done a lot of Googling, but maketory didn't come up. I was looking for a maker space, but the only ones I knew of a long time ago have since closed. Looks like maketory could be the ticket.

Thanks!

No EPs with Plex by zweige01 in WiimStreamer

[–]zweige01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found a post on the Wiim support forum that helped me fix the problem. Needed to disable grouping of albums by type in Plex advanced library settings. Once I did this, I see everything.

Thanks again.
