I purchased a used Kuna and it came with both the OEM and HBI short stroke buffer kit. How can I tell the difference? I think the buffer itself is fairly easy to figure out, but not sure which spring is which. Can someone post/link a pic of all 4 pieces?

I installed Emby alongside my Plex server on a Windows 10 box (and I have other streaming apps like Netflix and Prime), and only Emby is having a problem with my clients. Specifically, Emby with my Roku 4802 Ultra. I have an older Roku streaming stick and older 3660X model that do not have this problem - only the new Roku 4802 Ultra.

What happens is stuttering when playing any DTS-audio MKV video files, like movie rips or x264/x265 encodes. This doesn't happen with the older Rokus, nor GoogleTV on my Sony TV, nor with a Plex client of any flavor. The file is being direct played. Actually, transcoding fixes the issue, which I suspect is because it changes the container from MKV to MP4??

Has anyone else seen this issue with the Emby app on a newer Roku? If so, is there a fix?

Edit: Found the issue. Read my comments in the thread. Modern Roku issue with libmastroka & DTS

Since the lower is made of polymer, does anyone have some recommendations on good cleaning solvents that will work well? Has anyone submerged it in a sonic cleaner?

I've noticed that compared to other Emby competitive products, that Emby will consistently make the wrong decision in trying to identify a movie file.

For example, of which there are many, I added Jurassic Park (1993) and its first instinct was thinking it was the "Making of Jurassic Park" instead of the movie itself. I've seen this multiple times.

Why in the world would the Devs think the default answer for a file, with similar syntax, would be the "making of" instead of the actual movie??

I looked at Plex DVR a few months ago and wasn't too impressed. I looked again and it seems to have some more features, so either my memory is wrong or they added some? I don't recall the ability to have it automatically keep/delete episodes after watching. I think the ability to only record new episodes there last time, but don't remember. I still use SageTV for my HDHomeRun and TV recording.

Anyway, has Plex updated their DVR offering in the last 6 months? Or was this status quo?

Coming from Plex, their Live TV option allows for my Roku client to play the stream from an HDHomeRun natively in MPEG2 format without transcoding. Yes the .ts stream needs to be put in an MKV container by Plex, as it does so, but the video is still native.

I can't figure out how to get Emby to do the same. All my TV watching is transcoded to H.264 and there is noticeable lag when starting a channel.

I'm getting close to retirement and one of the recommendations I see over and over is to keep 1-2 years of expenses in "cash". I assume that doesn't literally mean you keep like $50-100K worth money not making any interest? If most of my money in Fidelity, does the default money market that sits around 3.5% qualify? Or is there a better option that is still liquid?

Does anyone have a recommendation to replace the those little Opple Lightmaster Pro Bluetooth measuring devices? I'm looking for all the same functions such as CCT, CRI, DUV and Flicker. I realize the "next step up" will be more expensive.

So, I just spent the last couple weeks trying to find a fee-only advisor for my future retirement and I haven't had much luck. I visited those fee-only recommendation web sites and of 2 or 3 people I contacted ended up being AUM.

The ONE company I contacted said they would help me to the tune of $8K, which is 2x what I expected. I need something that'll be worth more than what I gleaned from ChatGPT.

Does any have any recommendations?
