Plex MPV Shim is a small python application that lets you cast Plex to MPV on the desktop (see comments)

https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim

I didn't know were to post this. I suspect Linux desktop users are a minority on /r/Plex, but yet MPV is mostly used by Linux users as far as I'm aware, so there's really not an ideal place to share this.

This isn't my work, I found it on the Plex forums ([link](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-mpv-shim-cast-to-mpv-on-linux/447471)) and thought more people should know about it. It hardly got any attention but it's pretty cool.

There could also be some utility here as a casting target for raspberry pis and whatnot as well


Hope this is OK to post here. Just thought some might find it handy

Nvidia with open source driver

Rommers around the internet has told me that nvidia is slowly getting ready publis documentation for their graphics cards and make open source drivers. Mainly because of the competition from AMD.
Is there any merit to those rommers ?

Manjaro 18.1 and GPU usage (too high)

Hi!

I was just testing live media Manjaro 18.1 and was very pleased with xfce 4.14 and the FINALLY Vsync solution out of the box they implemented. I tested with nvidia drivers using a gtx 1080.

The problem was when I tested youtube and get it to fullscreen at my tv as second monitor. The GPU usage skyrocket achieving 48%!!! Even the coolers started just to play a FHD video at 4k screen.

Then I started the live media with KDE and get the same situation.

Any ideas what's causing this? That's not normal.


Edit: Noticed that my 18.0 install with KDE also shows this behavior... That's definitelly not normal... anyone knows how to fix?

Some files not mounting with external hard drive?

I just reinstalled Mint on my lap top and the last time I pulled all my music off an external hard drive onto my laptop just fine. This time though some of the files think they aren’t mounted and I can’t copy them. Specifically all of my music and a folder called “downloads” that has a bunch of music and videos in it. Other downloaded video content in other folders on the hard drive are working fine though.

It just bugs me out that on my previous install, none of this happened. Anyone else ever experienced this? What can be done?

Package management for audio production in Ubuntu is a nightmare

Al I want is a low-latency audio system that lets me use SuperCollider and Haskell. I've had it working a few times in the past, with the help of the KXStudio repositories, but I always end up with conflicts, and KXStudio has been frozen for a year. I hear good things about NixOS, although the learning curve looks steep; does anyone use that for music? Is there some other system with a package manager that just works?

(Lately apt reports that jackd2 conflicts with jack-daemon, but jack-daemon is a virtual package, and the last time I tried to uninstall one of those it destroyed my window manager spectacularly. Meanwhile SuperCollider won't install because the Ableton Link library, which I don't even want to use, says it wants asio.hpp, even though ASIO is a Windows-specific library.)

HP Spectre x360 15 (2019) with Linux?

I was wondering if anybody has any experience with recent HP spectre models and Ubuntu. I've had my eye on the HP Spectre x360 15-df1550nd because of the combination of gpu, display and touchscreen.

I've read that spectres usually have problems with the four speakers, the fingerprint sensor and the microphone.
The biggest problem I'm having with the current HP laptop I'm using is not able to use the HDMI port when the nvidia card is disabled. This is most likely due to the HDMI port being connected to the GPU.

I'm having trouble finding recent info on these devices.
If anybody has experience with these devices and Linux I would like to ask them if these issues I mentioned are still issues with recent kernel/distros and/or if new issues have emerged with the newer models.

I'm currently using Ubuntu though I'm open to using different distro's if they work better.
