I've got active speakers that have optical in, and rpi zeros connected to them via hdmi via an audio extractor. Installed snapclient on the rpis connected to the speakers, and music assistant on my server.

I have yt music which is our only source of music.

It works well, but I can't cast from the yt music app. Librespot is included in snapcast, but would mean switching to Spotify. I've read a topic on snapcast that they can't support chromecast due to it being closed source / hard to develop against.

Would lms be an option? I've no experience with lms.

So, is there any solution with yt music that allows me to control music to my rpi clients via the ytm app?

/edit: did a firmware upgrade of the AP and can't replicate it anymore. Thanks all for the input, much appreciated. In case it happens again I will use your tips.

I have a very weird issue. I've got a relatively simple network setup:

• router connected to ONT (Fibre)
• 10 port switch A connected to router, cables to various places in house
• 4 port switch B connected to switch A, with TV & Xbox connected
• Unify WiFi AP connected to switch A, both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks

That works well. However, when I connect the WiFi AP to switch B I'm having issues. Initially it all works well, but after ~30 minutes the wifi stops working; I can no longer ping e.g. the router. It only happens to one of the WiFi networks (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz), not both. A reboot of the AP solves it again, but then it stops working after ~30 minutes.

Both switch A and B are 1Ghz switches, zero issues with other devices.

Any idea what I can try?

Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, https://lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it's a search/index tool which I don't need. No idea why it took over all memory. I'll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it. Thanks again heaps!

I've got a HP ProDesk G3 which I'm using as home server, I've installed Ubuntu on it. Earlier this week the services I host on it stopped (Immich & Frigate). I tried to SSH, but it just hung after asking for a password. I could ping it, but it was just unresponsive.

I had to force reboot it manually. This is fine, but I'm not always at home.

The chip has Intel vPro as far as I know, which could be an option, but I have no idea how this works. The documentation on the Intel site seems focused on enterprises. I tried to connect with RealVNC which does not work, so I think I've got to install/configure something on the server first.

I also asked Bing Chat but it came up with non existing packages & commands. Welcome your thoughts!

/edit: I just found this, which seems to be exactly what I need: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man7/amt-howto.7.html

I've got a QNAP NAS and two Linux servers. Whenever the power goes down, the UPS kicks in and shut downs the NAS and the Linux servers, all good. The servers + NAS are automatically started when the power comes back on line using WOL. All good.

The problem is that I have apps running using Docker which heavily rely on connections to the NAS. As the Linux servers boot quicker than the NAS, the mount points are not mounted, and thus everything falls apart. Even when I manually re-mount, it's not propagated to the Docker instances. All mount points use NFS.

Currently, I just reboot the Linux servers manually, and then all works well.

Probably easiest would be to run a cron job to check the mounts every x minutes, and if they are not mounted, then just reboot. The only issue is that this may cause an infinite loop of reboots if e.g. the NAS has been turned off.

I could also install a monitoring solution, but I've seen so many options that I'm not sure which one to do. If it's easier with a monitoring solution, I'd like the simplest one.

Currently I've got a RPi4 without Coral, running Frigate with 2 cams, HA, Paperless, Photoview and Qbittorrent. This works well but maxes out the RPi4. As I want to add Immich and more cams, I have to upgrade. Budget allows for either a USB Coral with the existing RPi4 or buy a secondhand HP Prodesk 600 g4 with Intel 8th gen. According to Frigate I can use Openvino for object detection. Otherwise, I could add a Coral mini pcie, with a mini pcie to pcie adapter. But that stretches the budget. Besides frigate the HP should be able to run the rest.

Any thoughts?

I've got Stremio set up with RD and so far very happy. However, recently got an annoying issue with playback so I thought let's give Syncler a try. It was a pain to set up as buying Syncler+ requires crypto, or paying twice as much.

Got it working, added RD, added the Express provider package excluding Orion, but for some shows I get no results whereas in Stremio it worked fine. For example, Starstruck doesn't work in Syncler; it loads for a minute or so with lots of sources, errors, etc. and then says 0 sources found. Other shows load fine. Should I add another source, or am I just unlucky?

Or is there another alternative that works with Realdebrid? I'm on Android TV (CCWGTV). I have got Seren in Kodi, but not a fan of the UI. I like the slick UI of Stremio :)

I'm loving Stremio so far, but having bad luck with the TV show Only Murders in the Building. It's a fairly recent show. However, it doesn't show any episode information for season one and two on Android. On Google TV it does show the episodes but getting No Streams Found for every episode. I could easily found it on usenet so guess it's a bug with this show? Or do I need to add more providers? I've got Torrentio with Realdebrid configured and all other shows and movies seem to work fine.

I've got a Vero 4K to watch photos stored on my NAS. It is a couple of years old and it seems to be dying.

My requirements are:

• Watch videos stored on NAS via NFS/SMB
• Install Stremio
• 4K
• Available in NZ
• Sound doesn't matter too much as I have a simple sound bar.

The Google TV 4K is sold here for NZ$79 and gets raving reviews. It seems I can install Stremio and VLC or Kodi, so that should meet my requirements.

The alternative is a Xiami TV Stick 4K which is NZ$69

I know the NVidia Shield is the best, but they are above budget.

Probably my only concern with these dongles is that they are WiFi based, but I have a very solid WiFi network with an Ubiquiti access point, so that should be fine.

So I'm leaning towards the Google TV 4K, any concerns or considerations?

This tv show is showing as empty in my Vero (running OSMC / Kodi) https://thetvdb.com/series/race-across-the-world#seasons I have to go to Videos - >Files to see it. It's showing as empty under TV Shows.

I'm using my standard *arr setup so the naming is standard. It's working fine for all other shows.

The only thing I can think of is that the seasons have a unique name, like it contains Latin America?
