About DIY Media Home

What is DIY Media Home?

DIY Media Home is a col­lab­or­a­tion between sev­er­al people, with a primary focus on Home Theatre, HiFi and Home Enter­tain­ment tech­no­logy. It has grown out of the remains of “Jon’s Guides” and “[int­link id=“910” type=“page”]The Bluetooth Guide[/intlink]” which were ori­gin­ally launched in 2002. The art­icles and inform­a­tion from those sites, along with vari­ous oth­er mus­ings about tech­no­logy have been pulled togeth­er under one umbrella with a new focus on Home Media. Although the main focus of the site is Home Media, there is also cov­er­age of mobile tech­no­logy, gen­er­al PC sup­port, art­icles related to web-tech­no­lo­gies, and of course, the ori­gin­al [int­link id=“910” type=“page”]Bluetooth Guide[/intlink].

Hotlinks Policy

We politely request that you don’t “hot­link” to any files hos­ted here. After­all — we have to fund the host­ing, and people who use hot­links wont ever click on the ads or make the dona­tions that help keep us oper­a­tional. We oper­ate hot­link detec­tion code which noti­fies the vis­it­or that they have used a hotlink.

Site Updates

Since we track all changes and tweaks made to the site any­way, we decided to make this a pub­lic [int­link id=“2807” type=“page”]site updates log[/intlink] so that people can see when we’ve fixed site errors. For most people this is prob­ably of little interest, but if you want to know how we fixed a par­tic­u­lar bug this is the place to look — it might be rel­ev­ant to your own site.

Recommended Sites

Rather than hav­ing a “blog roll” dis­played on every page we have a ded­ic­ated page for [int­link id=“2987” type=“page”]sites that we recommend[/intlink].  Rest assured — none of these sites are sponsored links — they’re there because we vis­it them regularly.

2Set up “home assistant” on a windows PC

Yayınlanan tarafından & altında dosyalandı SmartHome & IoT. Son güncelleme .

As I’ve writ­ten about before I have a range of “smart home” devices that I’ve been gradu­ally exper­i­ment­ing with. One of the greatest frus­tra­tions of link­ing some of them is that many force you to go via “the cloud” which even with high speed inter­net can lead to delays of mul­tiple seconds for some tasks (“ok google, mute kodi”) for example. I’ve decided to give the free “home assist­ant” a try. As usu­al with any­thing linux based, get­ting it up and run­ning just isn’t straight for­ward. Here’s how…

0True home cinema for a grand

Posted tarafından & altında dosyalandı Media PC Hardware.

I’ve long had a “home cinema” setup with a fairly budget HTPC, a 50″ plasma TV, and a 4.1 sur­round sys­tem, but when I moved house a year ago I found I no longer had a place in the main fam­ily room to fit the 50″ TV, so had to revert back to the old Sam­sung 32″ 720p CRT that I bought in around 2006. The room has a large bay win­dow with a little recess per­fect for fit­ting a screen, so a plan was born for true home cinema

0Wordpress LogoMystique 3 Theme: Full-post and Excerpts

Yayınlanan tarafından & altında dosyalandı Wordpress. Son güncelleme .

I’ve been try­ing to fig­ure out how to dis­play full posts on the home page, and excerpts on all archives for about 3 days. This is nice because it means a decent amount of each post is shown on the front page, whilst archive pages con­tain a much more con­cise sum­mary of each post. This is bet­ter both for humans, and also for SEO — my archive pages now don’t have duplic­ate con­tent from my home page!

I’ve finally pro­duced a solu­tion. It’s not espe­cially eleg­ant, but I’ve been at the very lim­it of my PHP know­ledge just to achieve this meth­od. This applies spe­cific­ally to the Mys­tique 3 theme, oth­er themes are likely to vary, although some of this inform­a­tion may or may not prove rel­ev­ant. If you are try­ing or suc­ceed in doing the same to a dif­fer­ent theme do drop a com­ment in.… Makalenin Tamamını Oku

0DVB LogicPlanning a new networked home media setup

Yayınlanan tarafından & altında dosyalandı Media PC Hardware, Misc Media Software, Storage. Son güncelleme .

In the com­ing months I will be buy­ing a new prop­erty, and to go with my new home, I’ve been read­ing up lots on how I might integ­rate a new home media setup. In recent months sev­er­al excit­ing new options have become avail­able, which finally makes the sort of setup I have always desired a real pos­sib­il­ity.… Makalenin Tamamını Oku

2Samsung Galaxy S3Samsung Galaxy S3 & Note 2: Mods, tips & tweaks

Yayınlanan tarafından & altında dosyalandı Android. Son güncelleme .

I’ve had my Galaxy S3 a little over a month already and have slowly been com­pil­ing a worth­while list of tips and tweaks that I use and can recom­mend to oth­er users. I’ve updated the list to include tips for the Galaxy Note 2 which my part­ner now has. Many of these may also apply to oth­er Sam­sung or even oth­er android phones, but some are spe­cif­ic to the galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2. By all means try them regard­less of phone and let us know how you get on.… Makalenin Tamamını Oku
