Thanks for reply Rifter. I can handle slow speeds but wifi dropping out like the router hung is what I'm facing. Sometimes it will reset but usually the household is impatient I have to reset the router. If I have the Wyzecam plugged I lose internet access 2 or more times a day. Pretty sure...

Thank you for the reply. It is placed outside 30' away from router with a garage door (metal) and 1 interior wall between itself. The wyzecam is reporting 50 - 90 kB/s for streaming and looks great at 1080. At 360p the wyzecam is reporting 25-50 kB/s and again no problem. I'm wondering if...

I have a normal busy household and a ton of smart devices. With WiFi switches now being installed I'm reaching over 25 devices (laptops/iPad/phones etc.) I recently added a cheap WyzeCam which installed no problem. Since it has been installed it seems my internet connection via WiFi is going...

Thank you for the replies, hoping to build some unit under $500 Canadian. I posted here with the thinking many SF media centers might fit the bill of "decent horsepower without bells and whistles." A quick list.. AMD Ryzen 3 2200G $135 SUS Prime A320M-K AMD Ryzen AM4 mATX $80 RAM 8G $120 Case...

I have been tasked to look at upgrading or building from scratch a school classroom of PC's that are somewhat decent. Of course the school has a slim budget so I was hoping someone here had the same experience thrown at them. They have a classroom of Lenovo Desktops with E2000's and 4G ram...

Fixed it with another solution : Block www.skype.com

I got a used Logitech TV CAM HD that is great but unfortunately is unusable right now due to MicroSoft/Skype non-updates. Basically the webcam won't start until it tests the internet connection by pinging www.skype.com. Its a huge problem skype users are facing with built in Skype TV Hardware...

Flip flopping between SQLite and just xml from datasets... Playing with icons while head rests from SQLite stuff.

No screen shots for a few days. Putting in time looking into datasets and sql stuff etc. Started on Load/Save/New project subs but looking into templates to speed things up. Time to pay the price for quick google tutorials... Might switch the hard drive icons to file icons to match the "film...

Yes, the application will have 3 parts 1) First screen shown so far makes the user chop the game up into points. 2) The second part (icon with pencil) will change form to add volleyball meta to each clip 3) The third part (icon with cd-case) will allow users to multiple query for clips. eg...

Sorry went to change last screenshot and changed 2... OK, last night I had this idea that I'm tinkering with. What about having 15 buttons across the bottom with head shots of the players? This doesn't make much sense on the first screen but for the second and 3rd maybe. The first screen will...

DataGridView plus icons switch...

Thank you for the suggestions of peer review. I may look in to that but I really don't see any real tough code needed for the project. I'm slowly trying to tighten up the style consistency for sure, never realized I'd spend more time in PS than VS. Going to switch all icons to the open/close...

Ok, the slicing ability (Markers) are working and proper info is sent to the listbox. Widened screen for listbox. Will get delete clip marker going next with loading and saving project. BTW, I hope most people viewing these posts realize that I AM NOT a programmer! I'm googling as I'm going and...

Thank you for the reply, here are some steps taken: Loved the idea of a "Metro Style Gui" but being an non-artist the color tiles looked brutal and gave it a cartoon/baby look.. Converted icons to B/W and used my own design for WMP VCR controls but again looked too big and like crap. The last...

Cleaned it up a bit and went back to the standard wmp controls. My eyes aren't hurting as much. Icon or design guys can feel free to pm me...

OK, Started with the metro gui style, then went custom, will go back to plain jane windows design. This is just a gui strung together in Visual studio with only the wmp function working. Just filled the listbox with a textfile for effect... All the icons will be ripped out for simple text...

I will be using Visual Basic within Visual Studio 2015 so I assume vb.net. Just an old guy trying to code a basic app the would take real programmers their lunch time probably. I sure miss the easy days looking like a rock star writing basic on the Commodore PETs in high school...

Thank you for the replies guys. The last week or so I have been doing something I never do, think out the gui and program flow ahead of time. I'm leaning on chopping up the game video into snipits. FFMpeg probably will be my best friend for splicing and also possible text overlay. Pretty sure I...

I'm an intermediate programmer at best having used most languages but master of none. I usually turn to vba when I want to write something as I its the easiest and basically handles what I need. I coach a local HS volleyball team and would like to easily edit game video. There are several high...

My friend has 2 rental cottages and will be having internet access installed in one. I believe being rural it is Fixed Wireless Network (Sat/4G?). Anyways he want s both cottages to have some internet access but hope to implement password and bandwidth throttling. I realize there are a...

My trusty Acer Aspire 7745G (i5) has been serving me well over the years. Not the fastest anymore but can get away with Diablo 3 on low setting etc. Anyways I upgraded over a year ago my main drive to a Crucial 240G SSD and a WD Hybrid 500G for the other, (Laptop has 2 drives). For at...

Just started using qt and kinda overwhelmed with the options available. I have a small app that calculates sets of numbers derived from user inputs. The results may be a few numbers or 100's of numbers. What would be the best option as output? I need a message box with possible scroll...

Did a fresh install of Microsoft Server 2012 R2 Essentials and followed the storage pool wizard by mistake and setup with mirror instead of Stripe + Parity (just MKV etc. storage). Rookie mistake but how could I simply delete the pool (and folders) and redo manually? I'm googling like...

Thank you very much for the reply. It looks like only Server 2012 R2 Essentials is available not Server 2012 Essentials, that is a easy decision. The 4X4 would be my goal but I have 2Ts instead because that was the limit with WHS v1. I have 2X2T + 3X1.5T + 500G Hybrid for install. The...

First, thanks for all the help and suggestion posted previously. My WHS home system died and I built a NAS4FREE setup which with help here worked pretty smoothly. Well I'm getting old and just couldn't figure out RSYNC and a few other options. I need a server for the basic family stuff like...

Could be a "sticky" once your done! Like the majority here I am in the same boat (isn't everyone?). My whs v1 died and I lost my serial so after much research built a heavy duty NAS4FREE box. I used a AMD A6-6400K 16G etc, not energy conscience at all but had the parts... Not hi-jacking...

I had a WHS v1 setup for many years and it really worked well for me. I'm not a super user but have a few Terra-bytes of MKVs/Pics/ISOs etc. and with the set and forget backup abilities I was pretty happy. It backed up nightly around 6 units in the house (laptops and pcs) and although slow saved...

thx guys will do.

Had a crappy old Wireless IP Camera given to me and thought I'd try it. Its a TrendNet TV-IP201W. Connected via LAN straight to router for setup. It wants me to log in using 192.168.0.30 for configuration. Have tried with no success but I don't think that range is available anyways...

I have a friends HP Pavilion laptop (Windows 8) that ends up at my house due to viruses every month. Anyways, I put Acronis Backup on a bootable USB Key to backup a fresh image with the latest updates etc.My thought was I could boot from a Acronis Backup 32G stick and probably fit the image...

I have a Sabertooth X79 and 2 Asus 680s (DirectCU II OC) cards to install. The cards are 3 slots wide so wondering if I have to use the 1st and 4th slot only. The docs say those slots are SLI ready but I'd love to use the lower slot for better breathing space. Motherboard says slot 6 is PCIe...

Building a machine for a friend and he has a AX1200i and H100i. Problem is that someone convinced him to replaced the H100i fans with Corsair Sp120 fans and now I'm stuck with 3pin instead of 4. I have a NZXT 5 fan controller in the unit that I'm thinking of now controlling the 4 push/pull...

I have a Windows Home Server setup with a ton of media but mostly in 720 or above in .mkv format. Perfect for my wdtv unit and my i5 laptop but my wife's HP G50 laptop has trouble with some of the .mkv files. She is wireless so most of the time copies the .mkv to her laptop and then views. Some...

Thank you for the reply. Was worried more about the space between the cards and the width of the coolers.

Got 2 680s going into a SABERTOOTH and wondering if there is room for 2 of those Accelero Hybrid VGA coolers? Yes, proper water cooling would be ideal but it is what it is. Its a big HAF case so lots of room for rads etc.

Thank you guys for the reply. I was really afraid of the flames coming out with lectures of piracy etc. I in no way want to infringe on a EULA but seems impossible. Daemon tools may be the way but the school boards LAN it very very restrictive. I think The Minister Of Education is needed...

Hoping for a easy solution. Bought 50 licensed copies of a dictionary program to be used in a classroom. Great, but unfortunate 1/2 the pcs have inop cd-roms making the install a hassle. Luckly copying the files to a usb drive 350M and installed fine. Next problem: For some bizarre reason the...

Sorry guys if I didn't explain it enough in the first sentence "Sorry guys, its not for real, just an assignment for school." Our school doesn't even have a budget for a original XBOX! We actually set up a lab with 11 obsolete machine and used ncomputing boxes in them to build 3 more...

That racing seat is perfect! Maximumpc makes it pretty easy... Basically just upgrading the machine and adding gfx cards for multi screens would do it. thx again guys.
