Plex Will Now Fix Your Out-Of-Sync Subtitles
  • Do you have somewhere I could get more information?

    Most of my video files are mkv, encoded as MPEG, and audio is AC3 5.1, but I'm only playing audio through my TV speakers, so maybe it's transcoding for my cheap 2-speaker setup? I also typically enable subtitles, which I think can cause transcoding.

    I've enabled Direct Stream wherever I could find it, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

    Plex Will Now Fix Your Out-Of-Sync Subtitles
  • What I'd like is the ability to fix out-of-sync audio. My wife won't watch movies/tv/etc on Plex (on Roku) because some part of it creates an audio delay, and it really bothers her that the audio doesn't match the lip movement.

    I've tried all sorts of settings, both server and client. It mostly only seems to affect my Roku, though, so that seems to be the issue. I just want to add a small video delay or something.

    Chappell Roan Planned to Protest at White House Pride Event
  • I don't see how her choice to decline the invitation would affect her career. Not going seems like a non-issue that will barely even enter public discourse.

    If she had gone and protested, she might have been dropped by her label (I don't know how progressive Island Records is). Even then, the "no such thing as bad press" axiom might have worked in her favor. It seems like her fan base is pretty fervent, meaning she would likely be attractive to another label.

    Running form
  • I often lean forward while running. It's a bad habit that I never really had a reason to break. Then I tried running on an unpowered treadmill that has a curve to the platform (something like this). If I lean forward while running on it, it just keeps going faster, and I have a bad time.

    I noticed that as soon as I corrected my form, the treadmill became a much more pleasant experience. If you run on one of those enough, I'm sure you'll make a habit of running with better form.

    What Happened With Trump At Arlington?
  • So you're saying that Trump committed a crime and posted photographic evidence of said crime on his social media?

    Folks, we got him!

    I'm sure this will be the thing that finally sinks him. /s

    Those 13 props for this November’s election might not happen.
  • The plaintiffs say that failing to list the individual proposed changes to the charter did not give the public sufficient notice of what might be discussed or put on the ballot, thus violating the Open Meetings Act.

    Well, this is the first I'm hearing about any of it, so that at least seems plausible. Where is everyone getting their local election information from these days? I usually check vote411.org when I know an election is coming up, but they don't have anything for November's election yet.

    Edit: spelling

    Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?
  • If you tell it to write code for an impossible concept, it can't make it

    I haven't played with it much, but I thought it would go ahead and produce something, then tell you that it works until you tell it otherwise.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • That assumes you can unplug it. Most devices I own have the camera built right into the device, and it can sometimes be hard to find an option that doesn't include it. I have a Webcam cover on my desktop and laptop.

    I haven't seen one that would work for my phone, but if someone has hacked my phone, I probably have bigger issues.

    Walmart's use of digital price tags signal the future of retail shopping, but consumers are worried
  • So, if I grab an item off the shelf and browse around the store for a while, is the price going to be the price currently displayed or the price when I grabbed it?

    If it's the current price, what's the point of a price tag? If I can't actually know the price until checkout, then showing me the price is kind of a useless bit of data. I also suspect that the "speak to a manager" types would make that a major headache for stores.

    If it's the price when I grabbed it, how are they keeping track of that? I see two ways of handling that: one requires that you use their app to shop, and the other requires cameras and "machine vision" that are still unreliable, at best. The former seems more likely, but I doubt either is going to sit well with customers.

    Edit: someone pointed out that it might not actually display a price, and you'd have to scan it to get your price. Kind of like the first option, but I think it's going to turn off less tech savvy customers.

    I haven't seen that aspect addressed in any articles about the "feature".

    What languages do you speak?
  • Thanks! It's surprisingly difficult to get Germans to correct me on things. Most of them are just happy that I can speak it at all, so they tell me not to worry about the little stuff. 😂

    What languages do you speak?
  • Was Sprachen Sie spricht? (Deutsch/German)

    I'm not a native speaker, but I'm pretty sure it's

    Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?

    assuming you want to be formal, which feels a little weird to me in the context of an internet forum.

    Edit: but to answer your question: fluent English, mehr als ein Bißchen Deutsch, y un poquito Español.

    What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it?
  • For the first 80% of your comment, I was definitely picturing a small backpack on the bird, and I was wondering what the purpose of tiny perches would be.
