[WAMUG] iPhone connectivity

[John Thompson]

For some unknown (to me) reason, my Calendar appointments are not being shared 
with my iPhone 13 Mini.  All was originally working fine but now is not.  What 
am I missing?

I would also like to have my wife’s iPhone 12 Mini interact with the calendar 
info on the Mac.  Have been trying for some time but do not seem to crack the 
code required.

Regards

Re: [WAMUG] Movie format for Smart TV?

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Blitto, thanks for the additional detail there. With preparing and sending 
10 movie files, is there a way to confirm with one file up front to confirm 
file type compatibility prior to going to all that effort?

Also, perhaps if we know the make/model of Smart TV for the recipient, we can 
do some online sleuthing to even confirm prior to any further work what file 
type is compatible?

A quick Google search for Sony smart TV’s yielded the following.

I think the Handbrake (application) will be able to make an export file of the 
movies to suit whatever the recipient’s TV make/model is. 

Also important to know is the maximum single file size limit of 4GB for Ex-Fat 
formatted USB’s. 

Supported file formats for Android TV™/Google TV™:
The file formats that are supported by Media Player from the Google Play Store 
are:

Audio: AAC, FLAC, MP3, MIDI, Vorbis, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, PCM/WAVE, WMA, AC3, DTS
Video: H.263, H.264 AVC,H.265 HEVC, MPEG-4 SP, VP8, VP9 (4K TV only), WMV, VP6, 
MJPEG


Regards

Pete.

 Hi Rod.
 I have always used MOV for that purpose.
 Only ever had one TV that would not speak that language.

 Hi Folks
 I am sending some movies on a USB drive to someone who wishes to view on 
 their smart TV.
 Will .mov on a standard USB drive work ok for them?
 Thank you

Re: [WAMUG] Movie format for Smart TV?

[Stephen Chape]

Good idea Pete.

I also have an account with Syn.com ( a Canadian company).
I can upload up to 5GB to my account for no charge (more than Dropbox)
Then from Sync.com I send an email to a recipient with a link to download.
This works really well as I have relatives in UK and in Dubai.

[Pete]

Yes, I’d have thought .mov or if that fails try mp4. 

Alternatively, is there a way via Sending the files via a cloud service (like 
Google Drive) for the recipient to grab at  their end by their smart tv?
