Hey Y’all,

One very handy tool built into Windows which y’all should learn to use is the Windows Package Manager WINGET.

This tool can be run from an Elevated Command prompt or PowerShell.

It will install software w/o all the prompts simple and easy. Of course not all software is supported but most of the common things are.

Here’s just a sample:
“vscode”
“Microsoft.Powershell”
“google.chrome”
“Mozilla.FireFox”
“NotePad++”
“VideoLAN.VLC”
“Malwarebytes.Malwarebytes”
“Microsoft.PowerToys”
“TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice”
“7zip.7zip”
“Foxit.FoxitReader”
“UweSieber.USBDLM”
“Open-Shell.Open-Shell-Menu”
“StartAllBack”
“AOMEI.PartitionAssistant”

Example:

winget install "Notepad++" --Source winget --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

Note: if you leave off the “agreements” arguments you’ll be prompted for them if required.

May the Forces of good computing be with you!

Are you using the same HDMI port on the TV to view streaming via Windows 10 and a DVD via Windows 7? If you’re switching devices on the same HDMI port, you may need to power off all machines (TV + PCs) before disconnecting the HDMI cable to then reconnect it. I’m no expert on HDMI, but I’ve heard of issues with handshaking when trying to plug/unplug an HDMI cable while it’s powered.

Did you try changing the display resolution on your Windows 7 computer to 1920 x 1080?

A different approach altogether would be to find a new program to play your DVDs on the Windows 10 computer, for example Windows Media Player (still comes preinstalled on Win10) or VLC Media Player.

Made another attempt- In step #9, menu under “Video” does not match tutorial:

Click the “Video” menu, hover the cursor over “Subtitles Track” in the menu and click “Teletext” in the list.

 

The video I used is in fact configured for cc- it’s a download from Invidious, at one point I saw cc’s on the vid on that site, there is now chatter there about “what happened to the cc.”

Looks like the techwalla tutorial is for Windows systems- see references to the sequence “start>all programs>videoLAN to open VLC.

VLC runs on this Mint system, but apparently cc’s are not available.  Perhaps someone here can name another app that shows cc’s.

I bought a standard Apple ‘Lightning-to-HDMI’ adapter many years ago (at ridiculous cost for what it is) to show captured photos/videos from my iPhone and iPad on smart TVs easily without having to manage wifi protocols.

Playing around with the adapter, I found I could use VLC on the iPad (now a series 9) to connect to Windows-based DNLA servers over wifi (I’ve now standardised on Plex, even though I haven’t yet bought into its paid-for services) and serve content to my TV via the Apple hardware adapter from my iDevices. It’s not something I use regularly but it works.

The only downside (apart from a very, very occasional stutter) has been that the back of the iPad/iPhone can get quite warm depending on the length of any movie being streamed.

Note: I tried two much cheaper ‘lightning-to-hdmi’ third-party cables before buying the price-gouging Apple genuine articles. The former didn’t work; the latter did.

So, to answer your question… in my experience a genuine Apple ‘lightning to hdmi’ adapter cable should work for what you want without affecting your iDevices’ wifi connectivity. AFAIK they’re completely different communication protocols. There shouldn’t be a problem.

Hope this helps…

Hey Y’all,

I came across a post somewhere about using Winget to install software so I thought I’d give it a try. Here’s a simple powershell script to install some of my favorite software. The script is notated with the results as trying to install from the Windows Store did not work, it hung up on the Agreement prompt.

[UPDATED: added NotePad++]

Note: Downloading from the Windows Store failed both on Win10 Pro and Tiny11B2 installations. Both were running from a Local Account and I also tried while being logged into the MS Store.

Here’s what it looks like when it fails:

You said to save my current settings: Windows + r, then paste %appdata%vic in the input area, and press OK. For some reason, that won’t work. The second % is not recognized. See the first and second images on the attached.

My bad, as @PKCano pointed out, I forgot to include the \ when I posted those instructions (it “should” have been %appdata%\vlc)

As for the error you got trying to use the built-in function to update VLC, that “seems” to indicate there’s some sort of problem with your internet connection (which “might” be a clue as to why your browsers don’t play sounds, but lets not go there yet!)

You can go the the VLC website, click the Download VLC button and use the vlc-3.0.17.4-win32.exe file to install the newest version (it’ll detect your existing VLC and ask if you want to update it.)

As for VLC not playing sounds, which even the older version should if it worked before, here’s a few things to try.

Open the sound control panel and ensure your speakers are set as the Default Device (i.e. there’s a green-check mark beside them like this.)

If not, set it as the Default Device.

With the speakers selected, click the Properties button
(note: these are the settings from my Win7 PC.)

On the General tab

Device usage: is set to Use this device (enabled)

On the Enhancements tab

Everything is unchecked

On the Advanced tab

Default Format is set to 24 bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality)
Both items in Exclusive Mode are unchecked

Did this fix your VLC and/or browser sound problem?

If not, here’s a reg file from my Win7 PC containing the “working” sound drivers I use (it sets which sound types use which sound drivers.)

SoundDrivers

Save it to your PC, unzip it, and then merge it into your registry (you’ll get a popup warning about the dangers of doing that, accept it and continue.)

Note: you do not need to reboot your PC for these changes to take effect.

version 3.0.17.3 of VLC is a non-security bugfix – safe to download directly from the videolan.org web site

maybe it’s better to wait for a future release like 3.0.18 or so > for those who like using VLC’s “update” feature or depend on that

I just went to videolan.org to get the latest version for Win10 64-bit, and the “download VLC” button gave me v3.16 which was released last June. The archive, however, contains v3.0.17.3 which was released on March 11th of this year.
