Happy Face 29 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Champion. Is that taken from confirmation mails or from entries you've put into your calendar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Confirmation mails. Works if you forward them to someone too - so last week I had to pick my lass up from the airport, she sent her flight details to my Gmail, and I got a card telling me the status of her flight. It updated to show actual vs scheduled take off time. Pretty useful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'll have to organise a holiday to see if it's working on Nexus 4 yet I still only get Weather, travel/traffic, NUFC and Stocks. I don't get the bus/metro times when I stand at a station or photo opportunities for anywhere i am (though that did work before) or Google+ bithdays or nearby movies or events etc etc. Even though they're turned on. Is your phone language set to UK or US. I've read that it makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I set mine to US to get the OK Google thing to work. Have you updated to 4.4? I'm assuming some of these improvements come with that upgrade. What's the photo opportunities thing? Never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on 4.4 Some people say to uninstall updates and then re-apply them, so i'll give that a go. There's not much detail of photo spots here, but if you enable GPS and say you want recommendations, you should get them... http://www.google.co.uk/landing/now/#gnow-tabset-local&tab=nearby-photo-spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Gemmill, have you had a look at https://maps.google.com/locationhistory Has red lines depicting all of your locations on any day since you had your phone. On the one hand it's brilliant, on the other it's scary shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 That's scary! I need to have a look on a PC, cos I can't get the history to go back beyond 30 days on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 When your fannying on trying to get from terminal 2E to the RER B and then queuing to get a ticket, I hope your phone sends you a message saying 'just get a taxi you daft tit'.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I just got round to installing plex on my devices. Been mentioned on here years ago. But its gorgeous. I can use any of the media on my home PC anywhere I go. I'm listening to podcasts from iTunes on my mobile remotely. Listening to my personal 200gb music library on my work PC. Also let's me chromecast to TVs anywhere I like so I can show a whole room of people my photos, videos, music without having to prepare any of it on a USB or upload to the cloud. Can also share my servers or parts of it with other people. So my dear old mother who struggles with tech can login to her Plex account and see all my TV series, films etc and watch them at her house. Can't believe it's taken me so long to discover it. Exactly what I've been looking for, for years. Just need gemmil to tell me how to get it running on xbmc now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It's half price at the moment as well. Usually $5, now $2.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Does your PC need to be always on, or is it linked up to a NAS or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Does your PC need to be always on, or is it linked up to a NAS or something? Your PC needs to be on to access the whole library. But the Plex forum says you can.. you can specify things like: "Sync the next three episodes of The Big Bang Theory" and the server / mobile will automatically ensure that those videos are available on your device. As you watch episodes, new episodes are then queued up and copied over to your device to ensure that you always have the "next three". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ...says you can run from the Plex server from NAS too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Nice one cheers. If XBMC ever falls over, I might look into this, but I'm not really downloading anything to my computer these days. One thing though - presumably your mam watching stuff from your plex requires an upload using your home bandwidth. Wouldn't that wreck your internet speeds? At the minute I'm on 24 hour call for my mam and sister whenever their raspberry pis don't work. It's a nightmare. I just bought my gran one of these Android Gbox Midnight MX2s in an effort to avoid adding another customer to the raspberry pi helpline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Dunno how it effects the home internet, I've only tried logging on as another user from work so far. Yet to setup working accounts for any other family and see how I suffer when they view. Might not bother now you've raised the likely problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Hi lads is there a way to stream xbmc from my samsung tab3 to my samsung smart telly thanks in advance. I take it I need the Plex app? Edited February 17, 2014 by trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35639 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Isn't there something called Samsung allshare? Or something like that. To be able to stream things through xbmc, you need something plugged into your t.v. with xbmc on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 359 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Can anyone recommend a decent podcast app for for android? One that can support subscriptions would be ideal. I'm trying doggcatcher at the minute but it's skipping some of the shows from a feed as well as randomly showing old ones from the other feeds. The latter is easily remedied but just a minor pain. A decent music player could be helpful too I got Poweramp ages ago when it was reduced. The plan is to grab a decent memory card and use my S5 as an all in one rather than carry it and my iPod.

Gemmill 35639 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I use doggcatcher. Have you tried ticking the use unique names option in the Feed Options, for the feed that isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14143 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Don't know if it's the kind of thing you want, but him indoors has just this minute been bending my ear about Podcast Addict. Two nerd thumbs up from the other sofa, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
