Not a Dolby Atmos problem for me, even with that on, some apps are fine. VLC has the problem, and various other third party apps. Mostly trying to watch Jellyfin, I think Infuse or whatever doesn’t have the problem. I cancelled that though.
And I changed audio settings as well, nothing fixes it, on the Apple TV itself and the TV.
Pretty sure I’ve had that problem for a very long time.
Well, I finally turned the Atari VCS on it, and put Debian on it. Kodi was having the problem, but might have fixed it with the default video player. Then I put MPV on it, was wondering why two old South Park episodes have no sound. Well, they don’t in MPV either, probably need to re enacode some videos. But MPV is probably better then the default video player anyways in Kodi. There doesn’t seem to be any audio lag at all when unpausing with that.
I don’t like rewinding so I can hear what they say. I need to hear and read at the same time, in case I don’t hear the right words. Also, I might fall a sleep if I don’t have subtitles on as well. Well, maybe not with South Park.
Also not sure how much of the subtitles I’m reading anyways. That’s there for a backup. If I look at my phone while watching Ancient Aliens, I won’t be doing both. Either be scrolling or attempting to scroll and watching TV. But reading what’s on my phone and listening at the same time? No idea how anyone can do that.
And for watching Jellyfin in Kodi, I’m using Jellycon, seemed like the better one to use. At least for me.
Searching for that audio lag problem on the Apple TV, well it appears everybody may be having a different problem. Unless anybody is using exactly the same setup, well it’ll be hard to say.
Also, I think the Atari VCS is plugged into sound bar, but then why does the Kodi and MPV say the audio output is the TV? That looks like the TV model. Change input on sound bar, and no sound.
I do know, that with some stuff plugged directly into sound bar, or the HDMI switch that plugged into sound bar, I can get sound from either input. I clearly need to see what the Atari VCS is plugged into. Cause if it’s plugged into the sound bar, then what input am I using? Not even sure I’m using the right input. I use a universal remote, and I just click a number to change the input, and I clearly forgot what every input is. Well, I just remembered, I can actually connect remote to my phone and see, no need to see what Atari VCS is plugged into.
But by the time I do anything, I might forget I was even going to try to figure that out. Or I’ll forget I could look at an app. Oh wait, I don’t have the app on this phone anyways. Hmm, does it get the settings from the remote? If not, well, no more doing anything to that remote. Might need a new remote, that doesn’t need some shitty app. Just get one of those things that connect to network, and use a open source thing. Doubt one can be bought in town though, so maybe not.
Also, what’s the app called? The remote might be called Sofa something.
Well, at least one person thinks there’s no issue with my memory. I think my counselor called it “brain fog”.
Wonder if I’ll forget to get out of bed soon as well. Or forget to wake up. Or forget to put my pants on, or forget to take clothes off before getting in the shower.
Forgetting to wipe my ass, isn’t that bad, as long as I forget nothing else, like to pull pants up. It’s just shit after all. If you actually care about that, you’d be using water. Otherwise, you are smearing shit all over your asshole. Haven’t you seen South Park?
I have no idea why Americans use toilet paper. Cut down trees to make paper, then wipe our ass, then throw it away. Or make toilet paper out of elephant shit, then wipe our ass with what used to be shit, and then throw it away.
Well, there’s plenty of water somehow still. Cleaner as well doing that. And when the pandemic came, people bought all the toilet paper. I used to care maybe that much about wiping my ass too, not anymore. If there’s a shortage of toilet paper, there’s bigger problems. Also, it’s just shit.
I don’t even care that much if I shit myself either. I don’t usually have anything in my pockets anyways, so there’s no need to care about it for that reason either. Probably can wipe shit off of stuff too.
What’s the benefit in caring about shit? Much worse things can happen then that, especially now. No point in thinking about that though either, whatever is going to happen, is going to happen.
Also, during the pandemic, worse things could and did happen, people died.
Oh yeah, put Debian on the Atari VCS, because I don’t need or want ChimeraOS. Don’t need Steam on it. And found out Kodi might do games as well, and old games is all I’d use the Atari VCS for anyways. Also, Debian is way faster for some reason. I did install it, but formatted incorrectly, only one partition, needed a fat32 partition too. Then I rebooted, and it booted the default OS, and updated. So the updating could have updated the firmware, and made it faster. Or ChimeraOS isn’t worth using at all.
Now if Debian starts freezing on it, because of that AMDGPU bug, then I’ll have to fix it somehow. But it isn’t using KDE or Gnome. I installed from the live Debian with Gnome, but it’s auto logging into the Kodi session. So whatever Kodi is using, is what it’s using.
Was too lazy to download a different ISO to install without Gnome. And I could uninstall it, but I don’t see the point. Plenty of free space. The only thing I might put on it, is a bunch of old games. And any program I put on it, will use less space then all those games. And I might not need to copy the games to it anyways. Just need to access them from one of the things on the network. Assuming the games are on one of them and shared.
Some people are more organized and put everything on one device.
But at this point, less work to just share everything on the network. Then I wouldn’t have to do anything ever again, like download to the right location, copy something if I don’t.
There is no right or wrong way to do that as well. Do it however you want. If the games aren’t on one of the main storage things, I’ll just copy em over most likely. But they might be, can’t remember.
Looks like it’s HDMI IN on the soundbar. That’s the right input. Maybe eARC doesn’t work for the HDMI IN stuff, or not everything.
