overview for NorthWestWind

I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I use "Gelli" which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it's buggy and haven't been updated in a while, so I'm planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

I found an Android music player named "Symphony". It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.

Has anyone else ever seen an SSH key/fingerprint thing string together an actual word? Or how about a curse word? XD in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Elevate Your KDE Plasma Experience With These 15 Essential Widgets in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I was messing with the sticky notes widget the other day. I wanted to see how many can I add to the panel, so I spam clicked it 5 times and it froze the entire plasmashell.

I had to manually edit the plasma config file to remove them or else plasmashell just never worked.

After fixing plasmashell, I tried to add 1 sticky note again, and plasmashell froze again. So I just never touched it ever after.

Pulseaudio sink name for default (lemmy.world)

I have 2 physical output devices, say "speakers" and "headphones", and I frequently switch between them.

I also have a script that creates 2 virtual sinks for voice call and game by loading module-combine-sink twice on "speakers" and "headphones".

It works, but it's annoying that every time I want to switch device, I also need to mute the other one.

Ideally, I want to use module-remap-sink instead, remapping the 2 virtual sinks to the default one. This is where I'm stuck. What do I put in for master?

Pipewire freezes after initial login or screen blank (lemmy.world)

For a few months now, Pipewire has been acting in weird ways. Before I upgraded to Plasma 6, after a screen blank (not suspend) no media can be played. For example, YouTube player is in the loading state for a long time, eventually playing without sound, VLC doesn't start for a few minutes.

I have to restart the Pipewire Systemd service to fix it. This restart process takes much longer than usual (<1 seconds). Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes.

Now with Plasma 6, it also does the same after the initial login. I'm guessing this is because Plasma ignores some KWIN_X11_* env var?

However, if I restart the Pipewire service prior to playing any media after login or screen blank, it takes <1 seconds and everything plays correctly.

This seems to be the problem with the HDMI audio only, as switching to the USB headphones (before screen blanks) prevents this from happening.

How should I start troubleshooting this? What other details should I provide?
