I think the issue I was having (since it reared it's ugly head again) is that playing the sound from bash causes whichever player I tried to clip the beginning of the sound file. I ended up adding 0.5 seconds of silence to the beginning of the wav file and switched to the following script to get...

Good to know when/if I ever need it. The script/method I implemented, while undoubtedly not perfect, has been doing it's thing for a while now. It's too bad there aren't more 24 hour time lapse vids out there that I find interesting.

ABSOLUTELY NOT gonna happen!!!! :D

That got the sound to play correctly! Thank you! Now I just have to figure out how to get it to go to the correct speakers as it's coming from the "Speakers Built-in Audio" that this old Dell has in it. I need it to go to the HDMI Audio.

I'm right there with ya! The whole change to Linux has helped with the loss of many a follicle that I can't afford to lose. But, I can, with a bunch of research and trial and error, make my computers do what I want them to do. And not what Bill Gates wants them to do.

Not sure why I didn't think of that. I've been working on javascripts for my display page and have used console.log() so many times it isn't funny just to "see" what's happening. Thanks!

I will certainly have a look at that later today! Thanks for the suggestion.

Can't say I have. Downloaded ZM and dove in. I've had it running for a few months now. I just didn't like the display it has. So, I built a page to display the streams the way I want them to be displayed using a fairly large TV. It has enough space that I've also incorporated the current...

The setup .... Linux Mint Virginia fresh install with Zoneminder (security camera program) For my front door cam, I have created a simple bash script #!/bin/bash inotifywait -m -r /var/cache/zoneminder/events/ -e create -e moved_to | while read -r directory action file; do...

I don't have a clue. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was the case.

This is probably more of a concern to Windows users. But I would still use caution.

I think the powers that be would probably suggest to start a new thread. Give as much info as you can. And be patient. The folks here are awesome about helping fix problems. Although, it can sometimes take a little while for the right person to come poking around.

I use DDG pretty regularly just because ........ IT'S NOT GOOGLE But I probably use Brave more than DDG

As you touched on in the article, I really can't think of a reason for me to use that command. Although, it kind of seems like it goes through a process that every OS should probably go through when shutting down or rebooting. But, I'm totally guessing that it would take "too much time". Or has...

My mother does online jigsaw puzzles. If I've said it once, I've said it 500 times, "Wow! Somebody photoshopped the crap out of that one!" It's one thing, in my opinion, to enhance an image due to a camera not capturing things just right. It's a whole other thing when the photo comes out...
