Sync seems to work fine directly from the phone as well.ĭoes not seem to have a resume function, at least not that I can see. The Sync function does seem to work fine (syncing from my PC to phone), syncing to my phone without issue. I have played with the download function on a PC doesn't seem to work as I expect it to - fails when I try it. It does have a download and sync to device option. It is a plugin that requires you to be a supporter. Portable Fonts - Use your custom fonts on every PC Great Community - Dozens of developers, hundreds of translators, millions of users. Is there play position syncing, ie if I stop playing from my phone in the car will I be able to resume from a different device, say a desktop? Specifically, looking for just my phone, don't mind a local stream while at home or an Internet stream from other devices. Does the Podcast feature offline sync or only stream to a device, say like AntennaPod (Android Open Source) or gPodder (Linux/Windows Open Source)? There are plenty of articles that mention it is a feature but not a review. Speaking about AntennaPod: this app is now capable of playing local files! You can tell AP to use a specific folder on your device and play the contained files! Of course, this folder can be synchronized by Nextcloud, so you can easily exchange local files between different devices.I've been looking around and short of paying for a month of premium I can't really find information on how Podcasts work in Emby. I would even be willing to pay a few Euros for it, because I am really annoyed by all the trouble gpodder gave me. So I would really embrace the idea if someone wrote an addon for NC, that would allow to synchronize an app like AntennaPod across several devices. It is written in Python using GTK+ and includes support for MP3 and mobile phone players. Even when it was working, synching has been very poor and has often failed, forcing me to manually sync my devices by exporting and importing the OPML file every few days. gPodder is a simple Open Source podcast client capable of downloading and management of your podcast subscriptions. Their web page has been showing “bad gateway” and giving synching errors for weeks now. To start the year with bad news: to call “unreliable” would be a great understatement! Would be great to hear your view and experience on that! One acts as a server (it can be a PC, laptop, or NAS) and houses your media collection. What do you think? Could a self-hosted Nextcloud be the place to do that? I would of cause need some kind of sync-service in other podcast apps to make it work, but maybe there is already some open source solution ( ?) that could be self-hosted and implemented? Jellyfin is open source software that requires two devices. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to implement it in the existing music app as music and podcasts are quite different, but I’d be happy to hear your opinions. Ideally it could take over that job and additionally provide a service to listen through a webplayer. My Nextcloud is hosted at home like a lot of yours. I don’t want to connect myself to a externally hosted podcast-sync service that keeps track of every minute I’m listening to something and analyzes my daily patterns or interests to sell my profile to some ad-service. When I stop on one device I’d like to continue on another at the same minute or at least keep the playlist up to date. That’s 5 devices and I’m sure there are more people out there with a similar if not bigger setup. My work PC is a workstation tower with Windows and at home I have both Linux and Windows on my personal laptop plus an old tablet that I use occasionally to watch/listen to content I have a work phone is an iPhone to which I also sometimes connect my headphones, but then I can’t listen to podcasts between the calls as it’s quite a mess to disconnect and reconnect these Bluetooth things. My personal smartphone is my main podcast listening device - I use AntennaPod on Android. the time of the day I was thinking of a feature that is yet missing in Nextcloud and might be a really good feature:Ī podcast player that syncs the current position of an episode with other devices/apps. As podcasts are extremely popular and it’s hard to keep up with all the good content vs.

She wonders if her mother wishes that she too were deaf, and during a heartfelt late-night talk, mom actually admits that upon her daughter's birth she did feel disappointment when Ruby had hearing. However, within her family, she feels ostracized because she's different. She worries she will forever be defined by her family's disability even if she doesn't share it. To the rest of the school, she's that "deaf family girl," and it's remarked that when she began high school she had an accent reminiscent of what deaf people can sound like, a point that her peers cruelly imitate. She feels ostracized and awkward within her own family and outside of her own family. That's so much pressure to bear for one teenage girl, knowing that she's the link between her family's poverty-treading existence and possibly breaking free into a larger hearing community. She's looked upon as the family interpreter, a position they cannot afford to pay for someone else's services so the duties and responsibilities fall upon her. Ruby isn't just the only member of her family who can hear, she's also their vital lifeline to the outside world. That's because the movie does an excellent job of establishing these people as characters, establishing the family dynamic as fraught but loving, and establishing a conflict that is direct and clear as far a major point of separation. I do not hold the familiar formula against CODA, even as the family's goal and her personal goal come into direct conflict in sometimes forced manners. It's familiar, but that doesn't mean under the right set of hands that it cannot still be resonant and emotionally gratifying. It's based upon a 2014 French film, The Family Beller, and follows many of the same beats from other sentimental family dramas about sticking out in your family and society, chasing your dream, often in conflict with your family's expectations, gaining that sense of inner strength and resolve, and mending differences in perspective with hard-fought and well-earned wisdom. The framework of CODA is familiar to anyone who has watched a coming-of-age story or family drama, but it's the conviction and strength of character and sheer force of empathy that makes this movie a standout film for 2021. Ruby's music teacher agrees to train her because he believes in her potential, but Ruby has to worry that her dream is something that cannot be shared with the people she loves most, and how would they all get on without her? She's balancing working for her family on their fishing trawler, maintaining good grades in school, and possibly pursuing scholarships to enroll at a music and fine arts college for singing. Her mother (Marlee Matlin) and father (Tony Kotsur) and her older brother (Daniel Durant) are all deaf, and she is the only member of her household with the ability to hear. Ruby Rossi (Emilia Jones) falls under the category of CODA, a Child Of a Deaf Adult. Rating: PG-13 (Strong Sexual Content|Language|Drug Use) Encouraged by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams. But when Ruby joins her high school's choir club, she discovers a gift for singing and soon finds herself drawn to her duet partner Miles (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family's struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). Encouraged by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.Seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) is the sole hearing member of a deaf family - a CODA, child of deaf adults.

Story : Gifted with a voice that her parents can’t hear, seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones), is the sole hearing member of a deaf family-a CODA, Child of Deaf Adults. CODA premieres on Apple TV+ and in select theaters on August 13. PG was downloaded over 1 million times and it powered an estimated 30,000 original podcasts worldwide. Being available as a preinstalled package along with major web apps such as WordPress, PG popularity increased. On top of being available on Sourceforge (once the biggest open source community), PG was included as a preinstalled app by Softaculous and it was offered out-of-the-box in the control panels of thousands hosting, cloud and NAS service providers globally. In April 2006, Alberto decided to share PG with the community under an open source license.Īfter the launch of PG as an open source app for anyone to use freely, PG started to gain increasing traction and wider adoption. The results of these efforts gave birth to Pluriversiradio, one of the first educational podcasts in Italy and Europe which preceded major initiatives such as iTunes U, a service by Apple to distribute educational content in podcasting that was launched one year later. With this in mind, PG was conceived to be extremely simple to use and easy to customize. Lazzari, started the development of a web-based application that would allow teachers and educators to easily create a podcast by simply uploading multimedia content “as if it was a webmail attachment”. Alberto Betella, who at that time was a student of prof. The idea came from Marco Lazzari in 2005, who at the time was an associate professor of computer science at the University of Bergamo in Italy. PG was originally developed for the academic environment, where teachers and instructors often lack the technical skills or the time to manage dealing with technicalities of publishing a podcast. In addition, there are a variety of standard gameplay modes, all of them are centered between the duels of two martial artists in the elimination match. This can be seen like, destroying walls/concrete, throwing objects when doing a series of comboes, or making damage to the arena. It seems that Tekken 4 PS2 is slightly changing the game system rather than the previous series, which is possible to interact with the surrounding environment. Elsewhere, Mishima opened the Iron Fist 4 tournament with prizes throughout the group. Not wanting to give up so easily, he sent Jin Kazama, someone who knew that Kazuya's body also had a demon gene stored in the Zaibatsu Science Lab.īut unfortunately the laboratory was first destroyed by Kazuya and then disappeared. But the experiment failed, because it did not have enough devil gene. Meanwhile, the scientists want to connect blood samples and ogre tissue to the Heihachi genome to make it eternal. Then, when revived he began to study the evil nature in him with the intention to unite the two opposite parts. Tekken 4 took a time line after the King of Tournament, where Kazuya gave his body to G Corporation. Together with another popular title, namely Mortal Kombat, they dominated the fighting genre for many years, so it is not surprising that the 4th generation is also very loved by fans of the series. Tekken 4 PS2 game is the fourth installment of the Bandai Namco franchise, one of the most popular fighting series in the last two decades.Įven though it was launched long ago in the early 2000s, until now it is still the best considering that this type of game is quite rare.

The current CD/Apple Music master is headache-inducing and while I love the performance and songs, I seldom listen to it because it is a sonic mess. Those of you who have been longtime readers of Subjective Sounds would likely be surprised at that statement but this is one album whereby the original release is arguably worse than the worst remaster I’ve ever come across. To say Contraband needs a remaster is an understatement. I simply can’t understand why musicians with such credibility would have allowed their music to be released in this manner. Seriously, November Rain, Estranged, and Don’t Cry would have been absolute failures if they were mastered this badly. Even the ballad, Fall To Pieces is a noisy mess that lacks the definition and subtleties that are heard on basically every Guns N’ Roses album. Loudness was thoroughly applied resulting in a massively compressed soundstage that comes across as noise, rather than a musical masterpiece. It isn’t the performance, but the chosen recording style, mix and mastering. Yes, dear reader, Velvet Revolver’s Contraband sounds like crap. That is if you can get over the crushed soundstage that is just grinding and at times intolerable. With Contraband, Velvet Revolver pull off something tidy - their music manages both hedonism and maturity.As a lifelong Guns N’ Roses fan, Velvet Revolver appeared to be the natural transition following the dissolution of the original Guns N’ Roses lineup in the late 90s and while one shouldn’t compare the all-star lineup of Velvet Revolver, their songs are, for the most part, hard-hitting garage rock tunes that don’t break new ground but are a worthy addition to the rock and roll genre. Remember, between them they've probably seen it all. These mediations point to the pain behind Weiland's cynical veneer, and perhaps the entire band's veteran hope for a head-clearing open space. Lead single "Slither" is an immediate highlight, its gasoline-drinking cocaine strut staining it as the offspring of "Big Bang Baby" and "Nightrain", while the album's detours - "Fall to Pieces", the gorgeous "Loving the Alien" - are painted in dusty reds and browns, like idealized fever dreams of escaping to the desert with the one you love. Overall, Contraband sounds pretty much like you'd expect of such a collaboration. rock chorus "Headspace" alternates representative chunks of both bands' sounds with veteran skill and "Superhuman" rants about illegal substances in language everyone can understand. The bass-heavy throb of "Big Machine"'s verses surges into a hard-charging '90s alt. But they're not running a nostalgia show, so there are new tricks and sounds, too, and plenty of choruses that shift into STP-style layering and vocal phrasing. like stirring up their old demons - check the explosive entrance on "Set Me Free" to get things a-tingling like the old days. But his appetite for the spotlight has somehow become more voracious even as he fights cynically against it, and longs for an escape. Weiland still mugs and sings like a florescent lizard king. Maturity has clearly come at a price for both parties. "Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a f*ck," Weiland spits on "Do It for the Kids," and a peel from Slash's arsenal backs him up. With STP's vocalist and such a high percentage of ex-Gunners, Velvet Revolver really is a supergroup. Contraband features Slash, Duff, and Matt Sorum (as well as additional guitarist Dave Kushner) cranking out an updated version of Guns N' Roses swagger behind Scott Weiland's glammy, elastic vocals. Not every site I visited worked perfectly with Noir-a couple sites that do all sorts of hinky things, like overriding command-clicks that open links in a new tab, also seem to do weird stuff that foils Noir some of the time. All of Noir’s features can be overridden on a per-site basis.) (By default, Noir doesn’t override a site if it has its own Dark Mode style, though you can choose to override that if it isn’t dark enough for your tastes. With Noir enabled, almost very site I visit is delightfully dark. I read on my iPad a lot, sometimes late at night, and it kills me when everything else on my iPad is in dark mode but some websites just can’t get with the program. You can set Noir to match your current system mode (i.e., only darken pages when in Dark Mode), or force every page into Dark Mode all the time.

Watch Feng Chi-shun speaking at a book signing at Hong Kong’s FCC I’ve seen far too many struggling artists to advocate for abandoning a stable, reliable profession for something as uncertain and subjective as following artistic dreams. “Writing and other artistic pursuits should remain strictly in the domain of people’s hobbies. Radio 3 host Phil Whelan talked to Feng Chi-shun about his new book.

Do you want to know the details of Kowloon’s gruesome Hello Kitty murder, or what the taxi driver from hell did to his passengers? How about Elvis of the Orient, the ancient movie star who fooled hundreds of people for his final performance, or the student who stumbled into the 1967 riots and entered the world of girlie bars?
