EUROSTILE FONT

I don't even remember what movie I was watching but I noticed that I really liked the font used and tracked it down so I could have the option to use it in the future. Turns out it was Eurostile Extended. I found a free ttf

Plex Playlist Import

January 22nd, 2021

Since I'm now maintaining my playlists in Ampache, I thought it would be great to be able to export them from Ampache and import them to Plex. Sonos has a Plex adapter but Ampache does not so it would be helpful to be able to have the option to use the playlists in Plex/Sonos. Ampache has a shell script that will allow exporting the playlists and I've written a wrapper to make it easier since I have Ampache running in a Docker container. I ran into a post detailing how someone used the Python PlexAPI package to programmatically import playlists ( Option to use existing m3u for playlist feature ). I used the example on that page to create a program to import m3u playlists into Plex on my system.

Hyper-V Switch

January 20th, 2021

As I started working with Docker, I ended up installing it on my main Windows system. Some time later, I needed to access a VM on that system and found that I was unable to do so at the same time Hyper-V was installed (a requirement for Docker). While it appears that this has been resolved by the latest Windows and VM software updates, I was able to find a utility to switch back and forth between Hyper-V/Docker and VMs.
