Today I encountered something new and dystopian:
You can airplay from your iphone to an appletv but now youtube drops and locks the quality at 360p, making the content unwatchable on larger screens.
Once you disable airplay, the quality jumps back to 1080p. If you choose 1080p before and enable airiplay after, it still changes.
This hasnt been an issue for years. this new anti consumer move prompted me to order another raspberry pi to put kodi on.

Hi folks,
since the only kodi specific communities are on the two biggest instances, I went ahead and created a new one on my small instance. !addons4kodi@lemmy.giftedmc.com
It has been around for many months and has strong uptime so please consider it here to stay. I will work on the visuals soon.
Feel free to check it out and post in it.
Have a nice day.
Hi folks!
these were some rough couple months since the last update, I gotta tell you. In the meantime, I went active with self employment again and am working on quite a couple projects. One of them is a new Gameserver!
We have recently opened a new Gameserver for the Open Source Voxel Game Minetest. Those who have followed our instances updates will already know that freedom and fairness is what we strive for for everyone. Free and open source Software is pretty high up there in terms of this. Since Minecraft has gotten a couple features that we dont agree with (mandatory telemetry, microtransactions, chat control), we have decided it is time to try this new game. Since this is a whitelisted server, you need to apply to gain access. You can do this by writing a dm to the instance admin @haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com or join our matrix space.
In the meantime, we have also moved hosts. The old host has had technical issues which have eroded our trust in seamless availability of the service for you so we decided to move the instance over to hetzner. The server now has one additional backup procedure in place and sits on dedicated threads.
Since many years, we are also running a discord and a minecraft server, which both have served us well but which represent old, proprietary systems which we are no longer really comfortable with. Therefore we will likely start phasing them out at some point. Since we havent yet found a solution for successfully porting our world to minetest, we will likely keep the server on for a bit but the end is already in sight.
As time progresses, costs of living for our admin as well as hosting our server are increasing. The fediverse is not selling your data and isnt a corporation so the text you are reading here is brought to you by hardware, acquired or rented by individuals, ran with electricity paid by such individuals. If you value your freedom and the content brought to you, you may want to consider giving back in the form of a small donation.
Since today we have an „addons 4 kodi“ community on our instance. The community is for help and support as well as exchanging ideas around kodi and it‘s addons.
There are other similar communities but they‘re on the huge instances. For some time, centralization has been a problem for the fediverse so we‘re determined to do our part. Feel free to join !addons4kodi@lemmy.giftedmc.com.
Kodi is a free and open source media center app which helps you play your favourite music, movies and shows, either from your own library or multiple streaming services.
Thank you for reading and have a great day! :)

This is a non-official Addon discussion community for users and developers.
As most of you might have heard, large lemmy instances are somewhat counterproductive to the idea of decentralization and therefore, I have created this community on my small instance.
If you check, you will see that my instance has over 99% uptime since it opened - quite some time ago - so you can assume that this instance will prevail for the time being.
That said, you are encouraged to participate financially if you can since running an instance is no small feat, neither financially, nor timewise. I already donate to the lemmy devs so your donation will partly go into securing lemmy development as well.
No problem. If you want to see small communities and instances thrive, all you have to do is post and comment helpful and (maybe) engaging content. People like to read stuff that isnt just a whitty remark.
Have a good day.
Hi! I'm currently working on a kodi addon and I found that if you install/update from a zip file, then delete and replace the zip file with updated content, kodi cant load the contents for some reason. You have to restart. Then it works as expected. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesnt change it.
Anyone have experience with this?
