Nice to see him so smiley. Great video!

Now that’s interesting. Always thought it didn’t make a whole lot of sense strictly speaking. Never realized he intended the “a”.

Has anyone tried Tailscale to connect to Jellyfin?

I am not very knowledgeable about networking. I found I can connect to my Jellyfin server if I set under Networking “Allow remote connections” and in the remote IP address filter I put the remote IP that Tailscale assigns to my iPhone.

Is this how it’s supposed to work? I didn’t expect to have to use Remote Access Settings. I thought the point of Tailscale is to make it like you are on a local network.

I should have bought it when the lifetime was like $40. I used to use it. Had some difficulties with the UI so moved on. Was hoping it would go away instead of being the best choice at 3 times the price. 😖

I use Colibri when I prefer to drag a folder to play.

I used to use Swinsian, and plan to go back to it. Have you tried the beta?

I was using Music, but I’m finding it’s randomly deleting my local files. Nice feature.

Doppler looks pretty, but it’s not very useful for me. Not good for metadata management and I don’t have a lot of space on my iPhone so the functionality of it for now…

Plexamp I like the ability to stream my library (rather than Apple Music versions of my library), but on MacOS the UI is counterintuitive and again metadata management isn’t there so Swinsian seems the best.

For anyone using Apple TV (I’m on an older 4 model not 4K) - does it work for you generally? I found a lot of titles just show black screen unless I enable force direct play.

They may be HEVC/265 encodes and I don’t think my system supports that fully. Not sure that’s the issue otherwise I wouldn’t expect them to direct play.

Anyway, I’ll continue to experiment, but in the meantime thought I’d ask.

I got teased like I think I still have PTSD. They just weren’t cool or too nerdy in my hometown. Stuff like Motley Crüe and Poison and Guns N' Roses. That’s where it was at, which wasn’t my thing. I was into Yes and Tull and Crimson.

Obviously dizziness could be anything. But sounds like you aren’t anemic. That’s what I was wondering about.

Get your blood tested for a start if you haven’t done so lately.

Does Plex need users to install / setup security things for streaming safely over the internet? I see this discussed a lot on Jellyfin forums. But the setup is too complicated for me.

I’ve also just started using Plexamp. Am considering the lifetime subscription to get bit perfect playback.

Harmony remote control. Even controls my air conditioner.

Garlic press is my second choice. 😎

Hey all, my wife is interested in a turntable that sounds good, but can take some punishment (i.e. kids can use it). I'm a lapsed audiophile, but never did invest seriously in vinyl. I went the SACD route (RIP).

Anyway, what would you recommend? Preferably under $500 CDN, so maybe we'd be looking at lightly used.

Hey hey!

I’m window shopping for a DAC for a simple computer/desktop system. Mac Mini —> DAC —> Adam A5x.

Right now I’m using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo that I’m looking to upgrade for (A) improved sound quality - something smooth - speakers plenty detailed and unforgiving and (B) remote volume!

Any thoughts / suggestions under $800 new or used.

Teac UD 503 is my top choice at the moment.
