Issues Playing TTS/PS Stream Over RTP in FFmpeg
3 December 2024 @ 10:43 am
I'm trying to play a TTS/PS RTP stream using FFmpeg, but I keep encountering the following error:
[rtp @ 0x55bae8fad5c0] Unable to receive RTP payload type 103 without an SDP file describing it rtp://<multicast-address>:<port>?buffer-size=1000000: Invalid data found when processing input
To give some context, my main goal is to eventually stream in low latency DASH format through FFmpeg. For this, I’m experimenting by first capturing the RTP stream and converting it into MP4 format. Here are my specific questions:
Here are my questions:
Is FFmpeg capable of playing TTS/PS' over RTP? Since the multicast address and port are dynamically assigned at runtime, do I still need anSDP` file to describe the stream?
Is there a way to handle RTP streams without an SDP file, or any alternative methods to resolve the payload type issue?

How do I connect joystick to Windows 2008 machine?
3 December 2024 @ 10:41 am
I have a machine running Windows 2008 x64 and tried connecting a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. While the device appears in "Devices and Printers" in the Control Panel, I can't calibrate it or use all its features. When I select "Settings" from the joystick's pop-up menu, nothing happens.
In Device Manager, the joystick is listed, but I can't configure or calibrate it there either. The driver shown is the standard Microsoft driver (dated 21.06.2006, version 6.1.7601.24386). Attempts to update the driver result in a message stating that the current driver is the most suitable one.
When I try using the joystick in a game, it is partially recognized, but not all features work. Only three of the four axes are functional (the throttle is not detected), and most buttons are unresponsive.
From my understanding, there might be additional driver components or some special stuff for gaming devices, included in Windows 7 that are missing in Windows 2

my SQL Server SA account won't give me access (it doesn't log in)
3 December 2024 @ 10:14 am
I have three machines at home that I use for personal code development. I installed SQL Server 16.0.1000.6 on all machines (all running Windows 11). On all machines, it was installed using my personal Microsoft account, and everything appears to work fine but, as a consequence, the SA login was disabled. However, I did have some issues with my Microsoft account on one machine which took MS Support some 4 hours to fix. So I decided to enable the SA login as a backup in case the Microsoft account "went west". On the first machine, it went fine, changed the SA password, and enabled the account. Connected with SSMS as SQL Server Authentication and I'm in! However, on both the other two machines, if I try the same thing, it won't allow me to log in. The messages say that SSMS can't connect to the machine (or even localhost - both of which work with the Microsoft Account) and thus the login fails.
Any ideas? BTW, I used the same password for all three SA logins,
Windows Explorer crashes from "Group by Type" + List view (Windows 10)
3 December 2024 @ 9:58 am
I keep all of my "active" files on my Desktop. They can accumulate sometimes, so to view them in a more organized manner, I normally open a Windows Explorer window with List view and group by file type.
For some reason the past few days whenever I open Windows Explorer and navigate to Desktop, where the default view is List / group by file type, that singular window freezes. I can open new windows that work, I can still use my taskbar, etc. But that one window is now frozen.
If I open the Desktop folder through another means, where the default view isn't List / group by file type, it also doesn't freeze. However it does freeze when I change the view to List / group by file type. Details / group by file type works fine, List / ungrouped works fine, but List / group by file type freezes.
I've had this happen before, but I don't recall what the problem or solution was. This time around, I've restarted, I've installed all updates, I've tried shutting down
Unable to Boot GRUB After Switching to a New PC
3 December 2024 @ 9:50 am
After upgrading my PC hardware, I can no longer boot into the GRUB boot manager. I’ve enabled CSM and configured the BIOS to use Legacy Boot, just like my previous setup.
I’ve also successfully updated GRUB using a live USB running Ubuntu. However, when I try to boot directly from the drive containing GRUB, I get the following error:
"Reboot and Select proper Boot Device"
Hardware Changes
Motherboard: ASUS B450 → MSI X570
CPU: Ryzen 5 3500X → Ryzen 7 5800X3D
GPU: GTX 1650 → RX 6800
Storage and Software Setup
NVMe Drive 1: Contains GRUB and Kali Linux (using an encrypted LVM).
NVMe Drive 2: Contains Windows 10
.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken
Enabled CSM and set the BIOS to Legacy Boot mode.
Booted into a live Ubuntu USB and successfully updated GRUB.
Despite these efforts, the system fails to boot into GRUB and displays the error:

Win 10 slow boot time. I can't figure it out
3 December 2024 @ 9:28 am
My Server which hosts Plex, some virtual machines, etc has an extremely slow boot (5+ minutes) although once I'm in Windows it runs great. It is a Ryzen 3 with an NVMe and used to boot in less than 45 seconds. I've done the normal things like disabled anything unneeded in startup, update my BIOS, update my WD SN770 firmware, made sure I'm on a recent Windows update (Win 10 22H2) etc but nothing seems to help.
I could format the drive and reinstall Windows but I'm trying to avoid it if at all possible as this PC is my "server" and running some important things that I'd rather not have to setup again. Once I'm in Windows the computer runs fantastic with absolutely no lagging regardless of what I'm doing.
I've created an ETL file and tried to understand it but I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance! [ETL file roughly 5.5gb] (
Slowdown when scrolling Steam library because of icons and titles loading
3 December 2024 @ 7:30 am
I've been dealing with this annoying thing for years now. There is a slowdown when scrolling through Steam library when you open it. It seems like it happens because Steam loads icons and game titles, and then forgets them after some time. When they're loaded, there is no slowdown. Is there a way to force Steam to remember icons and titles indefinitely? I feel like there should be a fix since it's been a problem for a long time.
There's an option disable icons, but I want to keep them.
Demonstration
I recently bought Lexar SL500 SSD and sometimes some files are randomly corrupted
3 December 2024 @ 6:39 am
Like some lines of code become some garbage I think that important to note is that I travel with this drive and switch it between laptop and main PC
Every time it happens i run chkdsk and it shows me that corruption was found on drive on those locations
