  1. http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//art/features/connectedhome/WeMo%20Light%20Switch%20lifestyle-470-75.jpg Belkin has added to its range of WeMo products, which sees home automation come to life with the use of an app and Wi-Fi enabled switches and plugs. The WeMo Light Switch, which replaces existing light switches and connects to your Wi-Fi router, lets you turn the lights on and off with the WeMo app. You can also schedule lights off and on and set triggers using other WeMo Motion detectors in the same room. "WeMo provides a fun and easy way to put the control of your home at your fingertips," said Brendan Sparks, head of product management and marketing for Australia and New Zealand at Belkin. As the WeMo Light Switch requires installation by a professional electrician, Belkin is partnering with Jim's Electrical. Sparks said that Belkin was partnering with Jim's Electrical as it is a local company with national presence, and will allow Belkin to tell customers that generally speaking, connection will cost around $40 per switch. "We understand the rise of home automation can be daunting to some consumers, which is why we have partnered with Jim's Electrical to provide an end to end process for our customers," he explained. While the app is for free on iOS and Android, the WeMo Switch will go for $69.95. Belkin's automated homeAlong with the WeMo Light switch, earlier this year, Belkin had also launched the WeMo Baby, which is basically a baby monitor that connects to your phone using the WeMo app to wirelessly stream audio from your baby's room, even if you aren't at home. The WeMo Switch, on the other hand, is a power port that plugs directly into any electrical outlet, on which any appliance or device can be plugged into. Using a Wi-Fi network and the WeMo app, anything plugged into the WeMo Switch can then be turned on or off from your smartphone or tablet, even if you are in another country. Using the app, you can set the plugged in devices to turn on or off at pre-set times, and adding a WeMo Motion sensor means you can set the Switch to turn on or off based on motion within 3 metres or the sensor. Again, you can create rules or schedules. WeMo Baby costs $99.95, while the WeMo Switch is $59.95, or $119.95 when bundled with the WeMo Motion. Internet integrationThe WeMo Light Switch, Switch and Motion are integrated with IFTTT, which uses the internet to help create rules or triggers. This basically means that you can set up a light to turn on when motion is detected, but only between sunset and sunrise. Or, if you have a WeMo Motion set up near your front door while you're away from the house, an IFTTT rule can send you an email or SMS to your phone any time motion is sensed. "The powerful combination of WeMo and IFTTT provides endless possibilities of what you can customise and control throughout your home," said Sparks. Here's what else you can do with Wi-Fi in your home. View the full article

  9. Instead of hosting your website with iclanwebsites.com, you can host your website using phpBB3 or some other scripts/forums. That way your clan website would look more professional. Just giving out suggestion.
  10. That's because it's shared overloaded redirect. They are probably on shared 100Mbps port. i.e. 12.5MB/s. Now if their are 30 players downloading from same redirect at same time.... u can easily do maths... I am sure they might be sharing same redirect within 10-20 servers... or else it would never go to 10Kb/s In internet world good stuff is never cheap.
  11. Well it's 5$/month. Try it out. If that resolves the issue then it's redirect. I once had similar problem with redirect provider in 2008 after that i changed my servers redirect.
  12. OR the redirect is super slow and client times out before downloading the file. I had couple of friends hosting their files on YCN redirect and it always had super slow download. Try other redirect service: http://www.gameservers.com/redirect/ http://dediserverhosting.com/store/category/6-redirect-server/
  13. For your issues: 1. set team_maxMedics 10% Set that to -1. That's reason medic not available in 1 vs 1 2. You are running out of ammo? Just go to ammo rack, get the ammo and shoot again. 3. Dookie replied. 4. Post your shrubbot.cfg level settings or PM it to me, Gao or silencer and anyone would help u out.

  15. http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//art/other/Onetimers/apple%20tv%20new%20channels-470-75.JPG Apple TV refuses to be overshadowed by Roku and Chromecast and has become even more diligent in continuing to update the set-top. The box now boasts five new channels - Disney Channel, Disney XD, Weather Channel, Vevo and the Smithsonian Channel. The latter two are already available on Roku so Apple is playing a bit of catch up. However, the company seems to have a few tricks left for conquering television. Apple still wants a bite out of TVEarlier this month, Apple picked up video recommendations site Match.tv, showing it still wanted to keep you glued to the set. The Apple TV site also lists iTunes Radio as "coming soon," which we can look forward to with the fall iOS 7 release. The future of Apple TV involves a steep climb if it wants to stay in our homes meaning the company should update its set-top box to better compete with Chromecast, or finally release the rumored Apple iTV. Either way, Apple certainly seems determined to stay a living room contender and has even made peace with Google by allowing a Chromecast app. What's going on with Chromecast's Allcast support?

  16. http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//art/other/AU%20News/EzyFlix_tv-470-75.jpg Update: At the launch event held today, we were able to find out some more details on how the ExyFlix.tv system will work. While it works through web interfaces, there is currently also native apps for iOS, Android and Kindle devices, with plans to work alongside other manufacturers and studios to bring apps to smart devices, including TVs. Up to five devices can be registered under one account, and users will be able to swap devices in and out, with the possibility of syncing in the future. Though its catalogue is comparatively small, CEO White assured us that there are more titles being added, with plans to have US shows added within hours of US broadcast. In terms of UltraViolet titles, White revealed that users will eventually be able to buy "specially marked" UV titles from the service. "When you buy a specially marked video file from EzyFlix, it will be added to your Ultraviolet locker. What movies include this is determined by the studios, not EzyFlix, but it will soon include TV shows." From chatting with White, it is clear that EzyFlix is still a very young offering, and it will be interesting to see how it develops and contends with the likes of Google Play and Apple iTunes. Original story... With Foxtel Play launching only a few weeks ago, it looks like the year of the IPTV services in Australia, as EzyDVD's parent company, Access Digital Entertainment (ADE), launches EzyFlix.tv today. "Australians are hungry for new release movies and US TV shows, and tired of feeling like they're behind the rest of the world," said ADE CEO Craig White. According to White, EzyFlix has deals with all major Hollywood studios and distributors, including 20th Century Fox, NBCUniversal, Paramount Pictures, Roadshow Films, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. He said that content will be delivered conveniently and timely, "express from the US". "It also allows people to build their own digital movie and TV library in the cloud, and has been designed specifically to meet the needs of the 'connected consumer', who wants to be able to access their chosen content via multiple devices at any time," said Mr White. Besides being already available on multiple devices, the biggest coup for the service is that it supports UltraViolet (UV) purchases, so all your purchases in your UV locker can be included and accessed in your EzyFlix.tv account. "We are also the first provider to retail UltraViolet, a cloud-based digital rights system which offers people a digital 'locker' and gives them the ability to share purchased UV content with up to five friends for free," he said. Comparison on demandWhile some may be waiting for Netflix, Hulu and Vdio to make it down to Australia, locals Foxtel and Quickflix may be sitting up and taking note of this morning's launch. Though what EzyFlix.tv seems to excel in is being a local alternative. EzyFlix.tv has movies to buy from $8.99 or $3.99 for rent, and though it doesn't offer TV show episodes for rent, you can purchase episodes for $2.99. EzyFlix.tv has indicated, however, that there will be "season passes" available for some series. The prices are in line with iTunes, Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, while BigPond and Quickflix only offer movies for rent from $3.99. Quickflix has TV show episodes to own from $2.99, but BigPond has rent-only episodes from $1.99. ExyFlix.tv has no current subscription model as Quickflix, Foxtel, Foxtel Play, Fetch TV and Xbox Live do, but pricing for subscription to these start from $6.99 a month up to $59.50 a month. But with these five, Xbox Live has no rent option, Quickflix has no buy option, and Foxtel, Foxtel Play and Fetch TV require you to pay subscription plus $3.95 to rent movies, with not option to buy. While we get more details on the EzyFlix.tv option, why not read our review of the recently launched Foxtel Play. View the full article

Along with the Barclays Premier League, Foxtel's IPTV service will be streaming all of the 2013 Rugby Championship matches, starting with the Bledisloe Cup from 7pm, August 17. Again, you'll have to get a standard Foxtel Play genre package (starting from $25) before adding the premium Sports. As it costs an extra $25, you'll be looking at $50 a month minimum, but as a month-to-month service, you won't be stuck in a year-long contract.

  21. http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.ipad_white-470-75.jpg The digital music revolution freed our tape-based, CD-locked, vinyl-etched tracks, so thousands of songs could travel with us. The revolution had its setbacks though, as DRM attempted to trap tunes in systems and devices you had no control over. Thankfully the world saw sense and turned away from the precipice, and music remained largely DRM-free. The question is, what's the best way to enjoy your music? Whether you're sitting at your gaming PC, relaxing in the living room or out and about, the key is having easy access to your entire collection and being able to enjoy it to its fullest. To that end, let's take a look at how we can enable server-based, multi-room, multi-speaker, multi-user streaming audio around your home and beyond. Google Music vs SpotifyEnjoying your music shouldn't lock you in to any one company's products, so we'll us your own network, PCs, phones and tablets (with a few apps and downloads) to build the most flexible system we can. The ubiquity of MP3 audio is a real strength, but the downside is that it's so widely supported it can be hard to narrow down a solution that will cover all your requirements. We had real trouble finding a one-size-fits-all system, so we ended up with two. The good news is that the split is entirely straightforward - one solution for home enjoyment and another for when you're on the move, both of which work together seamlessly. The other element is flexibility. If you want to create a home-straddling, multi-room audio environment then you can. If you just want to create a standalone high-end audio digital hi-fi system then we can take care of that too - and this is where we're going to start. How to stream files from Raspberry Pi to a smartphoneWere we just praising digital music? I hope not, because we're going to bad-mouth it now. It's a sad fact that in the rush to digital, many people lost sight of what should be most important: audio quality. It's understandable, though - you're given a state-of-the-art gadget and you want as many tunes on there as possible, so you crank up the compression and end up with music tracks that sound fine on tiny headphones, but utterly lacking on capable speakers. MP3 is almost two decades old, and was only originally intended to store modest-quality audio. One issue is that encoders can be very inconsistent, so even high bit-rate MP3s created by a poor encoder will lose quality. If you're sticking with MP3, make sure you use a LAME-based encoder, as it has been shown to offer the best results. If you're encoding, it's important to understand where your audio is coming from. You might be using the best quality encoder, but it's all for nought if the original source was a single-channel 8-bit 22kHz YouTube source. Typically most people will be getting audio from a CD rip, which is 16-bit two-channel audio at 44kHz. DVD audio never really took off, but does support 24-bit, six-channel audio at 96kHz, or two channels at 192kHz, which is the best source. Most people say they can't tell the difference between a CD and a good 192kbps MP3. This depends on your ears and the kit you're using to enjoy the track, but there's a strong argument against using anything bigger. Even professional DJs tend to be happy with 320kbps MP3 files for pro rigs. All we can say is that for archival quality, you're best using a lossless format. If you need to save space on portable devices, convert to AAC at 192kbps. If you're looking for a flexible CD ripper/audio converter, we'd suggest fre:ac. It supports all of the mentioned formats, supports CDDB/freedb with ID3v2 tagging, and is open source, so you can get ripping to your heart's content. Sounds sweet http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.plex-420-90.jpg At the heart of our home audio system is a server. This is where we'll store the tunes, and it will serve them out to anyone who wants to stream from it. PC Format has covered home servers a lot in previous issues, so we're not going to go over that side of the hardware. What we're interested in is the audio side of things, so let's cast a quick eye over how to improve your listening experience. First, ensure your audio track's stored somewhere on the server at a quality that you're happy with. If you simply want to enjoy music at home, a better amplifier and speakers will result in a superior experience. We're going to start with the idea of using a separate AV amplifier with full-range speakers - perhaps in your living room, your man-den or even an old-school study. The best scenario here is to keep the digital audio in digital form all the way through to the dedicated AV amplifier, inside which are all the expensive digital-to-analog converters, with their solid grounds and low-noise, high-quality power converters. http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.amp_connections-420-90.jpg The most direct solution is to use a laptop or mini PC with a digital coaxial or SP/DIF output. All decent amps will accept both of these as input, enabling you to pipe the digital audio bit stream direct to the amp. Many people seem to prefer SP/DIF. Perhaps the fact that it's optical makes it seem all space-aged and futuristic, but the truth is that SP/DIF can actually be far worse than coaxial. Poor alignment of the connectors can cause increased error rates, and that's besides the higher price for the cables themselves, especially for long runs. Ultimately, both connectors are doing the same job and carrying the same data. I'm sure an audiophile would say one creates warmer sound than the other, but they live in their own special world. If your system doesn't offer either output, take a good look at your laptop, desktop or your custom audio card to see if one of its mini jacks doubles as a digital coaxial output. It will usually have to be enabled as such from an audio control panel and you may need a bespoke cable too. Similarly on desktops and mini-PC systems internally there can be risers or digital audio headers, from which you can pipe a suitable digital output. Again, you may need to either make or buy a specialist cable for these. An alternative way to get digital audio is to use any HDMI output offered by the PC. HDMI is capable of carrying up to eight channels of PCM audio, in up to 24 bits and at up to 192kHz, which covers pretty much every eventuality. If your AV amp supports HDMI inputs then you're golden, but if it doesn't, all is not lost. If your HDTV offers coaxial or SP/DIF output then it's often possible to route the HDMI signal to your TV, then stream the audio from the TV to an amp. From there onwards it's down to the amplifier and speakers to do the heavy lifting of making the audio sound as beautiful as possible. There's also ensuring that you've configured and positioned your speakers correctly, but that's really not our problem! Serving the goods http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.airplay-420-90.jpg The big question hanging over us is which program we'll use to dish out our audio. We're going to enrage a good section of the population by saying Apple iTunes, but stick with us - we have our reasons. We don't much like iTunes. It's clunky, it's slow, it's updated too often, its store is shoved down your throat and it's bloated. However, it also has AirPlay - a fantastic multi-room streaming protocol that's widely supported, and which we can use to our advantage. Besides that, it has a flexible remote control system, it enables multi-user access to a shared library, it supports multiple streams, and it's perfectly possible to set it up and then never touch it again. It's also a decent media manager, and frankly it's possible to have multiple media managers working side-by-side. So bite the bullet, head to the dark side, download it and install it on your server. The important thing with iTunes is not to give it any power. Open its diminutive new top-left menu, select 'Preferences > Advanced' and clear 'Keep iTunes Media folder organised'. If you then want to use other media mangers, streamers and so on, you can do so easily. We're assuming that you want to organise your music yourself - if not, you can ignore this step. Share and share http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.home_share-420-90.jpg Before driving onwards, you need to share this newly installed iTunes music library. It's best to enable the Apple Home Sharing system first. It's one of the beautiful zero-click things Apple does so well, in that devices will just find each other and work without any prompting. Open the menu and select 'Library > Turn on home sharing'. You will need an Apple ID for this, and you'll need to log in to activate it, but if this sounds hideous, it's possible to get by with PIN codes. To start sharing, select the menu icon, then click 'Preferences > Sharing' and tick 'Share my library on my local network'. To simplify people's options, select 'Share selected playlists > Music'. Now click 'OK' and you're good to go. Sharing to different types of systems and devices is, well, different. On a desktop or laptop PC or Mac, using iTunes is a breeze. Just open the pull-down menu that offers the local music, films and so on, and at the bottom there will be a new option under Home Shares. On Apple iOS devices, open the standard Music app, select 'More > Shared' and again choose the shared library. This gives you access to the entire music library as if it was stored locally. Android devices can't access the iTunes library directly with any app we know of. If you already have Plex and are using its server and app, there's a Channel option that enables you to browse the iTunes library easily, but the app costs £3.21. Another Android option is the free TuneSync HomeStream server and the associated free Android app. This ties in effortlessly with your existing iTunes library for shared streaming fun. The player itself needs a little work, but it's the best iTunes-based option we're aware of for Android. Remote AirPlayhttp://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.ipad_remote-420-90.jpg Once iTunes is encamped, with its hefty behind on your server, we can start doing some clever things. First on the cards is a little bit of remote control. This applies whether you're playing the audio directly from the server or streaming it to another box via your shared library. All the copies of iTunes running on a network computer can be remote-controlled. The only thing to remember is that the iTunes library on each system needs its own unique name, adjusted via the 'Preferences > General > Library name' setting. For iOS devices, Apple offers its free Remote app. If you're using Home Sharing it'll automatically spot and list these devices in its list of available remote libraries. For devices not using Home Sharing you need to access the iTunes library list screen, tap the settings icon on the top right and select 'Add an iTunes library'. This provides a PIN and a new Remote icon, which will appear at the top right in the iTunes interface on your system running iTunes. Click this and enter the PIN to pair the devices. Oddly, one thing that's poorly implemented is remote access from another computer. For Mac OS X users, there's Tune Connect - a well designed control tool that fits with the iTunes design. For PC users the choice is somewhat less impressive, but the excellent Tunesremote-SE offers a full iTunes interface. http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/magazines/PC%20Format/Issue%20280/PCF280.feat2.retune-420-90.jpg Android has a range of iTunes remote apps, many of which come with free and paid-for options. Our preference is Retune. It's free (though a donation is recommended), and offers a more fully-featured interface than many alternatives. All these remote options offer support for the Apple remote speaker protocol AirPlay, which is one of the key reasons we're using iTunes. AirPlay is a networked speaker standard, so anything that supports it will appear in iTunes as a potential speaker output. AirPlay stays hidden until an AirPlay device appears on the network. Add one and an icon appears next to the volume control in iTunes. Click this and a list of all available AirPlay devices appears. You have individual control over which devices output sound and at what volume, or you can have sound output from all of them. Apple would like you to buy dedicated AirPlay speakers, which you can do, but one alternative that we like is to install AirBubble for Android and use the device as a AirPlay extender connected to a hi-fi or speakers. If you have older Android devices at home, this is a good use for the lazy green things. For PCs, you can use the horribly named Shairport4w. This is an open source project that turns any PC into an AirPlay target. It's just a 1.3MB executable, so can happily be left running on any system that could be used as a speaker output. In Apple's usual idiotic way, iOS devices can't be made AirPlay targets, and it removes any apps that enable this, but if you own a jailbroken device we understand AirFloat will do the job. Finally we'll mention AirFoil which costs $25. Installed on a Mac or Windows system, it enables you to direct the audio from any programs to almost any device, including AirPlay compatible speakers, Apple iOS devices and Android devices running its free app, so you can enjoy the delights of iPlayer or Spotify anywhere in your home.
