Can I stop the Firestick switching from 1080 to Ultra HD? Black screen with just audio when it switches to the higher resolution

For reasons unknown (I've tried everything in all of the guides to diagnose and resolve....) I get a black screen with audio but no video whenever Prime Video switches from 1080 to Ultra HD.

Try as I might, I can't find any way to stop it switching to the higher resolution. Even if I hold up and back for 5 seconds to cycle through resolutions to 1080p, it always then goes back to trying to increase the resolution after a few seconds of playback.

I'm tearing my hair out with this now. Any ideas what else I could do?

Clearly something in my setup is off, but everything else works absolutely fine, this issue is exclusive to Prime Video. Have tried every idea I can find online to resolve, to no avail.

Thanks

Good restaurants for pork in Lisbon?

My wife really wants to have a good pork main meal somewhere in Lisbon for our last meal out. Where can you recommend that has a really good choice of meat dishes that aren’t just steakhouses?

Bonus points for somewhere that does good fish dishes too as I lean towards fish over meat, but I also do enjoy meat so open to all suggestions! Thank you!

We have already visited Cocheira Alentejana, Tascas Zebras and Sal Grosso!

My Life … Complete!

Thanks to a wonderful person helping me I was able to get this artwork that I made for my wife signed by Ryan. To say she was surprised is quite the understatement. So grateful, and it looks even better framed than I could have ever hoped!

Is this normal hot water flow? [Sage Barista Express Impress & a Total Beginner!]

Hi Folks

Sorry to ask a very basic question but I'm just running through the setup steps of my new machine and as a newcomer, I want to make sure this is normal...

You go through a cycle of running a double cup pour of hot water, then steam and subsequently then hot water using the steam/water switch.

I notice that the hot water is very 'sputtery' rather than a consistent flow, I just want to check that this is normal behaviour? It says to keep repeating this until the 2l water tank is empty, but with the rate that water is flowing then I might be here until Christmas!

What is the best way to browse images saved on my NAS?

Hey folks. I have thousands of old photos saved on my DS214play.

What is the easiest/best way to browse these quickly? There’s no real organisation to them hence just needing to browse through hundreds of different folders image by image.

I only have apple devices (MacOS and iOS/iPadOS) and not windows.

Many thanks

What shower gel/body wash actually leaves a long lasting fragrance?

I love strong/bold scents/flavours/fragrances....I love the smell of some shower gels/body washes but within about 30 mins of use, you can't smell anything anyway, so it seems a bit redundant buying anything particularly nice/expensive.

Is there a world out there that I'm missing? I want to smell like I've almost drowned in the stuff hours later so hit me up with your best suggestions.

Caveat: it does actually have to smell somewhat nice. So Brut is out and so is Ralgex :D

A quick question from a curious newbie

Hi everyone!

I’ve always deeply loved the craft of good lyrics, and I enjoy listening deeply to music and musing on the lyrics and the story behind the lines.

I’m looking to start writing lyrics not with any performative goals or even necessarily putting to music, but as a form of therapy somewhat akin to journaling, but more expressing some feelings through lyrics rather than just writing down my feelings, if that makes any sense?

I’d love to hear any advice you might have about how to get started and useful resources etc?

Sorry for the kinda incoherent stream of consciousness but hopefully people can understand what angle I’m coming at this from!

Thanks!

Is there a way to play video files from plex but have audio only?

Sorry if this is a silly question but I have a library of concert videos where sometimes I just want to listen to the music without watching the show. Is there a way (even not using plex if necessary) that I can play audio only? Or even an easy way to convert those video files into a music file so I could put them in my Apple Music library? Sorry for the dumb question!

Saw a UK Fall Out Boy tribute band last night!

Surprised my wife with tickets to ‘Fell Out Boy & The Black Charade’ - a joint show between a FOB and MCR tribute act. We love both bands (FOB much more though) so I thought it would be a good laugh on a Friday night!

They only had a 65 minute set each so I thought there would be zero deviation from the ‘standard’ hits, but we were treated to Headfirst Slide, Take Over, Sixteen Candles and Young Volcanoes, Sophomore Slump…none of which I was expecting! Opened with The Phoenix and closed with Sugar. Also got Immortals, Centuries, Uma,

They were WAY better than I expected….the less I say about the Black Charade the better (we left after three songs and that was being very generous) 😁

Anyone supplement anything for joint/tendon/ligaments?

Hey Guys & Girls

Recently turned 40, male, have been very fit and active for a number of years - do around 20,000 steps a day (mix of running and walking) and lift 4-5x per week.

No matter how much stronger I get in the gym, or however cardio fit I am, I've suffered my whole life with tenderness in the soft area beneath my kneecaps.

In a more general sense, I have noticed that in the last 2-3 years I don't recover anywhere near as well as I did say 5-10 years ago, in terms of general aches & pains despite being stronger/fitter/healthier than ever. Catches up to us all I suppose!

I was wondering if anyone had any success with supplements aimed specifically at joint/tendon/ligaments etc. ?

There is a lot of joint issues in my family history, lots of arthritis etc (I have it myself in my hands) so I suspect that there's a large genetic component, but keen to hear peoples thoughts.

My diet is absolutely on point, covers all nutritional bases, and things like sleep hygiene etc. are all as good as they can possibly be.

In terms of my daily supplementation as it stands, I take creatine, omega 3s, vitamin D and magnesium, nothing crazy. I did try adding glucosamine for the last few weeks but can't say that I've noticed any difference on that front.

Be keen to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

Pulling hairs out of my face, how to clear up damage

40 year old guy, hope I'm welcome here.

I have this horrible stress induced habit of pulling hairs from a certain area of my chin and I’ve been pointed towards this sub! I've been doing it for years and got out of the habit, but recent stress has caused me to start doing it again.

Obviously the solution is STOP DOING IT but what can I use to try and clear up the redness, pustules, broken skin etc that comes from it in the short term?

It's a viscious cycle, when the area is clear and I haven't been doing it for a long time, I leave it alone, but once I start picking and the area of my face feels different, and is sore, I double down and keep doing it and making it worse :(

Anyone use Kefir in their Creamis?

I'm wanting to start incorporating kefir into my diet and was wondering how it might work in a Creami in place of milk.

I normally use around 250ml semi skimmed (2% fat) milk with 100ml of almond milk - plus 20g whey protein - in my 'standard' recipe, and was thinking about replacing like for like with the 2% fat milk and use kefir in it's place. It's a little thicker than regular milk so I may even omit the protein powder as I get plenty of protein elsewhere in my diet anyway.

Any experiences or thoughts on how this would turn out?

Figs - Sorbet or (Light) Ice Cream?

My wife loves figs so I want to make her a treat using them as a surprise. Would they work better as a sorbet or a light ice cream (2% fat milk and possibly protein powder). Any tips for figs specifically? Silly question but do they need to be peeled or prepped in any special way? Thanks!
