T(wc) is the wind chill, V is in the wind speed in statute miles per It was later adopted by the National Weather Service to help communicate the impact of cold wind on exposed skin. The calculation has been tweaked since being introduced.Īnd if you really, REALLY want to show off, here's the wind chill formula, according to the University of Kentucky: T(wc) = 0.0817(3.71V**0.5 + 5.81 -0.25V)(T - 91.4) + 91.4 (A historical footnote: The wind chill was “invented” by researchers Paul Siple and Charles Passel in Antarctica in 1945. Some people may be more tolerant of the cold than others, but we all feel it. Objectively, because we’re warm-blooded creatures we all feel varying degrees of cold with or without wind thrown into the mix. Wind chill formulaīut, do people all feel temperature in the same way? That gets more into the philosophical realm. Being an inanimate, non-living thing, water is not impacted by wind chill. The water will come to equilibrium with the air and settle at a temperature of 40 degrees, the ACTUAL temperature of the air. Here’s an example: Some people may think that air at 40 degrees but with a wind chill of 25 (thanks to a strong breeze) might freeze water. It determines whether we get snow or rain. Wind chill has no impact on any of these things. Actual temperature determines whether water freezes or stays liquid. What you see is not always what you get when dealing with summer temperatures. like) the global temperatures from ice core composition going back millions of years, tree ring growths covering thousands of years, and historical accounts. It applies to everything else besides wind impacts on exposed skin. ![]() Regarding the question, “What’s the point of the actual temperature if that’s not what it ‘feels like’?” - the simple answer is that the ACTUAL temperature is EXTREMELY important! The 'feels like' temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold it really like outside. How cold is it for Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting?

![]() Consider watching PBS if nothing else works. The PBS Channel on Apple TV seems to work well with low bandwidth. We can only hope that more content providers follow suit and allow users to adjust bandwidth. For more information, please read “ Netflix Tips for Apple TV“. Simply go to the account management pages on the Netflix website to make this change. The main purpose is so that mobile users won’t burn through too much data. Netflix is one of the few services that allows users to throttle bandwidth. For more information on changing iTunes video quality, please read this article. You will notice a difference in download times and streaming stability. If you have a medium-sized flat screen TV (40″), you won’t be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. If you watch a lot of iTunes content and it takes forever to load, consider lowering the video quality to 720p. ITunes doesn’t offer fine-grained video quality options on Apple TV. Most Apple TV channels should scale down to the required bandwidth accordingly. If you are at 1080p, try reducing it to 720p. You can change Apple TV’s overall video quality by selecting Settings > Audio & Video > TV Resolution. The better picture quality is preferrable, but if your Internet connection is too slow, SD is better than nothing. If not, let’s look at some other possible solutions.Īpple TV makes the assumption that you want to watch everything in HD. Now return to your video and it should work. You can do this by going to Settings > Audio & Video > Subtitle Language. When my Internet connection is slow or a content provider’s servers are having problems, turning off subtitles almost always works. Most of the time I can fix “An error occurred loading this content” by turning off subtitles. If your Internet connection has slowed, this extra data may cause your video stream to fail. Subtitles add to the overall data bandwidth requirements for a video stream. Unfortunately, turning on subtitles increases the data demands on Apple TV. Instead of constantly fiddling with the volume, I turn on subtitles. Sometimes you can barely hear an actor speak, and in the next scene, music is blaring. I have no hearing impairment, but the audio track on movies and TV shows has a wide dynamic range. If you’re like me, you like to have subtitles on when you watch TV. Let’s take a look at some things we can try to fix this problem. You can solve this problem, in most cases. Apple critics have pointed out how simplistic and useless their error handling is. Basically, it is a generic, catch-all error message that means your content can’t be loaded now. There could be a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on servers delivering content to your Apple TV. The servers that deliver content to your Apple TV could also be having problems. It could mean your Internet connection is too slow. “An error occurred loading this content” simply means that your video or music could not be loaded. ^ top What Does “An Error Occurred Loading This Content” Mean? The causes of this error are sometimes beyond your control. Keep in mind, you might not be able to fix it. Sometimes this works, but often you will see the same error over and over.Īlthough the exact problem is unclear, having used Apple TV for almost 4 years now, I am familiar with both what this means and how to fix it. You hit the menu button, press play and try again. All of a sudden, you are presented with a black screen and a vague error message: “An error occurred loading this content”. Picture this: you’re relaxing in the evening with a bowl of popcorn, enjoying your favorite movie or TV show. What Does “An Error Occurred Loading This Content” Mean?Ĭheck If the Apple TV Channel Provider is Having Problems This article covers how to fix “An error occurred loading this content”. ![]() There are many possible points of failure as data stream from the data center to your Apple TV.

![]() "It's adequate for testing," said Abd El Karim. The iPhone doesn't have the same screen resolution as the iPad will have, so Vimov lowers the screen resolution in the video stream displayed on the iPhone, and scales up the multitouch gestures it sends back to the SDK simulator. The savings can be up to 80 percent, according to Vimov's site, cutting the time to test each incremental change in code from 36 seconds to 6.įor iPad developers the savings will be greater still, as until Apple begins selling the iPad, most developers will have no way at all to test their code on real hardware. The app can save iPhone developers time, said Abd El Karim, because compiling and testing software on a desktop machine is quicker than transferring it to an iPhone. The libraries are only needed during testing and simulation, and will not ship as part of the final application. Developers need the appropriate iPhone or iPad SDK to use it, and will also need to download code libraries from Vimov for iPhone or iPad and incorporate them in their project to enable communication with the iSimulate client. While the trackpad in Apple laptops allows developers to test some apps relying on touch inputs in the simulator, it's awkward to test software designed for use with the phone held in both hands and operated with the thumbs, Abd El Karim said. ![]() Vimov sells a small iPhone app, iSimulate, which streams video to the phone from the iPad or iPhone simulators in Apple's SDKs, and sends back information from the iPhone's multitouch screen, GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, accelerometer and electronic compass to the simulator. The tool is designed to help developers who otherwise face problems testing some hardware-dependant features of their apps until they can get their hands on a real iPad.Īpple provides the iPad simulator as part of the software development kit (SDK), but the desktop machines on which the SDK runs don't have GPS receivers, an electronic compass or screens with multitouch input, so apps relying on these cannot be tested fully, said Vimov's technical director Osama Abd El Karim. Vimov is offering developers writing for the Apple iPad a head-start in testing their apps, using an iPhone as a multitouch controller for Apple's iPad simulator.

Mha moving wallpaper1/23/2024 ![]() Having a dedicated GPU is highly recommended, but not required. As a general rule of thumb, 3D, 2D and video based wallpapers will perform best, while websites and applications will require more resources from your system. Many options to tweak quality and performance allow you to make Wallpaper Engine fit your computer perfectly. You can choose to automatically pause or completely stop the wallpaper while using another application or playing fullscreen (including borderless windowed mode) to not distract or hinder you while playing a game or working. Wallpaper Engine aims to deliver an entertaining experience while using as few system resources as possible.

It would be the easiest way to do what you want though if you have better luck than me. The uncurl Python library is meant to turn cURL command lines into requests calls, but I could never get it to work. This person worked out how their site works from top-to-bottom and the result is you don't even need anything from the website other than the URL of an episode. However, since the license server doesn't seem to impose a time limit, you can skip parsing the manifest yourself and just download the encrypted episode in its entirety with yt-dlp or whatever first using the manifest URL, then read out the PSSH from the encrypted audio file - something like - and then make the license request. I didn't bother to attempt the manifest download part for this site, but I did confirm the PSSH is in the audio init segment. The "proper" way to do it (as done by the site itself): you need the manifest URL (which you have because you copied it from your browser or you managed to replicate the requests the site makes to the ITV API in your script) from it, you need to find the audio initialization segment, strip off the manifest filename from the manifest URL, append the BaseURL part to the URL and then the segment name, download said segment and then find the pssh box in the segment. Is everybody else getting similar?įor this site, that takes a bit of work. ![]() That is crappy 896x504 around 1400K with the godawful 96Kbps audio. ![]() All I'm getting is exactly what ITV Hub was.

I'd love python code where you simply input the CURL into my script and it does the conversion for you, returning with a string (instead of having to do it manually).īack to ITVX. All4, Disc+) that require you to get the CURL(bash), input into a CURL to Python convertor. I'd love to know how to scrape that PSSH value using code within my script instead of manually having to copy/paste it.Īnother one I'd like to automate. One thing I haven't worked out how to do yet, if anybody could help or contact me. ![]() I'm trying to automate my python scripts for all the UK TV webplayers.
