How to add an iCal Calendar on Android (Fossify Calendar, DAVx5)? SOLVED in c/android@lemmy.world

Davx5 got unreliable on me. I switched to calendar sync pro. The UI sucks but it's been solid at syncing things.

Sure for physical things that need prototypes and materials. That is not a thing with software.

Software and business method patents have always been bullshit.

Patent the machine, not how you use it. Software is just instructions to a machine.

This is how all of these ridiculous eos should be handled. It's nuts that everybody is just doing what mango Mussolini decrees.

I think a birthday field in Pam or passwd would be fine. It'd be cool to have a happy birthday motd on login.

But it doesn't belong in what should be an init system. Much of the scope of systemd beyond an init system is the real issue. Resolved for example. Fuck poettering.

Trailers for movies and shows on Plex "Content is unavailable in your country" (sh.itjust.works)

See title. Trailers for my local content all play fine. If I want to play a trailer to see if interested in stuff on plex's own streaming service, I get that error.

The movie itself will play fine. The trailers will not.

My Plex server bypasses my pihole.

This is US. Comcast business class line with static IPs.

Happens on all of my clients. Phone. Shield. Onn Android TV.

I have a Plex pass.

WTF?

Tidal Replacement (sh.itjust.works)
 

Now that tidal integration is dead, a good option I've used before is livexone (formerly slacker). While i loved having everything in one place, I prefer not having to buy/rip or download the huge catalogs available elsewhere. And now that music seems to be going away in plex clients in the roadmap as well, i decided to find another solution sooner.

The ui isnt the best, but is far from the worst. How I use it:

  • star an artist to add them to your list of artists
  • then immediately also add that artist to each custom station you want them to be a part of
  • while playing your custom stations, use the dot menu to fine tune how much outside of the station can be pulled in. This, imo, is live's killer feature. Similar music is based on the whole list of artists in the station, not just a single artist.
  • grow your artists and playlists by browsing related.

In addition to this, livex also has genres, curated lists, new music lists, and podcasts.

It also has apps that do not suck on android auto and android tv.

I'm already not missing plexamp + tidal, so I wanted to share.

Tidal integration going away (sh.itjust.works)
 

This royally sucks for me. I like having my own local library integrated with Tidal.

Android Auto won't connect with screen off (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't know if this is an android auto problem, or an android 14 (crdroid 10) problem. Wired usb connection. Have tried different cables with same effect. I did not have this problem before (Android 13). My phone has AA 10.9.634644.

If the phone is locked when connecting to the car, I get a connect/disconnect loop. This continues until I unlock the phone, and then things are fine after a few seconds, and I can then lock the phone again.

If I connect to the car with the phone unlocked until AA connects, and then lock the phone, everything is fine.

I have android auto configured to connect with the phone locked, and have disabled USB debugging.
