Three and a half years ago I used makemkv to rip some BluRay discs, and it worked - both VLC and SMPlayer were able to play the ripped .m2ts files perfectly fine back then. Now however, neither player seems to be able to play those same .m2ts files at all - SMPlayer tries, but fails (no video; garbled sound) and VLC doesn't bother trying at all; it won't even open (although it plays non-.m2ts files with no problems.).

Why? Has something been changed since then?

I have an old Pi - the one with the full-size HDMI and SDHC connectors - that has a broken network connector. Is there any easy way to use this with motioneyeos as a standalone unit?

edit: Apparently not... it just says "no network connection, rebooting" and then it fails to shut motioneye down as well, prior to actually rebooting.

Oh well.

I have the 32-bit version of Q4OS installed on an Asus EeePC 701SD netbook that is behaving very wierdly for some as-yet-unknown reason. The machine is not connected to the net at all; it is strictly a standalone unit that I am using for webcam surveillance video recording at the moment. I have been running Cheese each night, and recording only an hour or two of video during the early hours of the morning when I wake up at 03:00 or so. However; when I woke up this morning Cheese had died and a low diskspace warning was being displayed on the screen.

At first I thought that perhaps I'd left it running inadvertently and the 32GB disk had run out of space as a result; however that was not t

This isn't related to any previous versions of Firefox, nor to the behaviour of any other browser either, but will there ever be a way to assign multiple Bookmarks for the same page in different categories? For example: suppose you want to create folders for different categories in the Bookmarks section, but a webpage could fit into more than one category and so you'd like to create more than one Bookmark for a page without affecting any of the others - could this be done somehow?

I prefer the useful original Tabbing style of Firefox, not the useless 'picket-fence' style of Opera and Chrome. Is there an easy way to set the Tabs back to their normal width again, please?

edit: Thanks - 160 looks a lot better now than 76 does, that's for sure. Will flair this post as [Solved] now.

The add-on extension for removing the Titlebar no longer works and there isn't any replacement for it available, so how can anyone get rid of the annoying useless space-wasting Titlebar now?

I don't want any middle-click pasting to occur ever because it's nothing but an annoying liability, but I do want to retain the ability to middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab though. I've tried Googling already, but everything I found seems to indicate that getting rid of only the paste functionality isn't possible. Is that really true, or is there a way to do it easily somehow? The only 'solutions' that I could find by Googling involve remapping of the middle-click button in order to disable it entirely, and that is not what I want to do at all.
