Re: [PLUG] Convert MPEG2 to MPEG4...

2017-07-07 Thread carl day 
Online docs on PLex  shows only MP4 container [no mkv].
Hauppauge USB2 is an OTA recorder.
If you are getting "very good"  atsc file recording
could also strip out the Close-Captions with
ccextractor to a SRT file merge back ffmpeg to x264 MP4 file.

What is TWRP? If it is an image/software, where can I get it?

What are XDA and adb/fastboot?

Normally if root android OS is upgraded
ROOT needs to be reloaded. The wiki of keis
sounds like a "sideloading" of the upgraded image.
There is a TWRP version for that phone.
I read XDA and used adb/fastboot when i did my roots.
Most of the "1-click" roots are M$-Windoz based
which i do not trust.

[PLUG] Upgrading rooted Samsung Android phone

2017-07-07 Thread John Jason Jordan 
If you're rooted you can't do it in the usual way (over the air) - if
you go into System Settings > General > About Device > Software Update
you get "Your device has been modified, software updates are not
available,"

According to internet advice you can upgrade a rooted Android phone
with Kies, a Samsung app normally used to sync your phone with your
computer. Unfortunately, you must install Kies on a Windows or a Mac
computer. Just as well - the last thing I'd ever want to do is sync my
phone with my computer.

My phone is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (now KitKat 4.4.2), which
I have loved since I got it three or four years ago. I paid someone $10
to root it for me because I couldn't figure out how to do it myself.
Being rooted is great - for example, I uninstalled the texting app so I
can no longer receive the spam text messages from the carrier (now Metro
PCS). 

If anyone knows how to upgrade a rooted KitKat phone to Lollipop or
later, I'm all ears. And if no one here knows, maybe this could be
addressed at the next Clinic.
