I published my set of scripts for use with Home Media Server to github. They are useful for auto categorisation of video clips based on ID3 Tagging.
They can be found here

Problem
On windows you can’t effectively use multiple gateways without using some complex solutions. I found a method of getting uTorrent to use both connection effectively without much messing around.
Solution
- Connect to both networks using a static IP. This can be done by configuring the routers to reserve an IP from the DHCP scope to your interface MAC address. You will need to know the router password on both networks for this. If you don’t know how to do this google Set Reservation on router DHCP. This is probably more work than just simply setting your interface adapter to use a static IP. If you don’t know how to do this under windows google Set Static IP on Windows. Note that both networks need to have a different router IP address. If they both use the default of 192.168.0.1 then you will need to change the one you control to use a different subnet; like 192.168.1.0, with the router on 192.168.1.1. If you don’t know how to do this google change router ip.
Static IP of two interfaces
- Run two copies of uTorrent in Windows and in one instance change the net.bind_ip setting in Advanced Settings to one static IP, the other instance the other static IP. To do this copy uTorrent folder to another location, anywhere will do, “Downloads” is fine and run it as a different user. If you don’t know how to create a user in Windows google create user account in windows. You will also need to give the second account access to the copied torrent folder. If you don’t know how to do this google give file access to another user. You run a program under a different user account by holding shift right click on uTorrent.exe and select “Run as Different User” then enter the username and password you created. Probably best to create a new shortcut on your desktop for the second uTorrent called “uTorrent Another User” or something.
uTorrent Bind IP
- Disable Randomize port on both uTorrents, they have to have different port numbers!
Disable Randomize Port
- Record the IP and port number from your main adapter in the form IP:Port. In my setup it is 192.168.2.5:29723
- Start a torrent downloading. Chrome will probably put the magnet link into you first copy of uTorrent however sometime it choose the other, it doesn’t matter. Once the meta data has been download right click the Torrent and select “copy magnet url”.
- In your second copy of uTorrent click add Torrent from URL, its a button on the toolbar. Paste the magnet link and OK.
- Select the torrent, click peers tab and right click, Select Add Peer.
Enter the IP and Port of your first instance of uTorrent.
It will get the metadata instantly, if it hasn’t already. Repeat the add peer process now it has the metadata. - Watch in awe as your two uTorrent shares the data they get avoiding duplicate downloading and utilising both connections to the max.
uTorrent using two connections (I have a tiny 6Mb connection. My neighbour has 20 Mb)
- When the torrent is done downloading you will have two copies of the torrent. Delete one.
And Beyond
You can repeat the process for as many networks you have access to, they just need to be on different subnets.

There is a fucking annoying pop up window within the gaming software every-time you focus an application that you have a profile for. It appears and then goes and there is no setting to stop it appearing. Its nice for Logitech to tell you you have changed application but, well, you already know, you did it.
So after getting fobbed off by Logitech tech support that it is in hand. Which a google search will find a Reddit post from over a year ago about someone complaining of the same issue; with the same response. I wrote a basic window closer on 200 ms repeat. Please find linked the binary and source code. Released freeware.

The program does nothing but close this annoying popup. You’re welcome.

I was looking for a solution to play video on my vr headset ($3) Samsung 8 in some viewer, aka the cardboard vr. First I thought that I would just view them over the network, but my rooted chosen ROM (Linage 17) doesn’t support smb from boot, so no fstab mapping can be done leaving me with a hacky file browse and view by another app solution.
Then by chance playing with my TV and trying to watch films on the computer I finally found a use for a UPNP/DLNA Server. I also found that in my VR apps, any form of networking found was for a uPNP/DLNA server, not smb logging on etc, sweet! Looking at the Windows uPNP offering I found none, for free or paid for, they could not make a custom menu from meta data tags.
So Linux… Gerbera free and claimed to be able to do this so I had a go. A bit of hack trial and error later I got it going how I wanted with a sort of 2 level keyword search and reading all the tags I need to sort the collection. I meta tagged all my MP4 video with Mp3Tag v3.01, which is excellent util for the meta tagging via many different ways and easily expandable due to a simple text based plugin type feature.
Gerbera Custom Menu
I leave it here so maybe it’ll help someone else. Continue reading »

Finding no working downloader at userscripts or other repositories for Greasemonkey scripts I had to write my own. This provides links instead of video to the video and can download videos that are set as non downloadable by the user or pay to download. Here it is:

Game Hack
Found this app and it is awesome. Game Hack written by SBman, no ads and free. Of all the memory pokers I have tried it is also the best. Your Android device needs to be rooted, though if you’re looking at cheating at games you’ve probably rooted it already. Google Play has removed it from the store so you can find a copy here. The dudes website also seems to have gone but it was listed to be here.
What Does it do?
Game hack like all programs of this nature scans the device memory to locate a given number. The number to be searched for is given by you. This can be the amount of coins, bucks or whatever an in game currency or health is. Once found then you can modify the number to be say a few hundred million and never have to worry about running out. If you search for bucks or whatever the game calls them that can be purchased for real world money then you can gift yourself a huge amount to buy all the upgrades, unlocks or whatever you want. If your search is for the number the number of health or lives you have then with this cool util you can also lock the number so it never decreases.
How do you do it?
- Root your phone. Google “root [your phone model]” for information on how to do this.
- Install Game Hacker
- Run Game Hacker, ok it in SuperSU, swipe away some screens you’ll see only once and can’t understand anyway. Close the screen with this minus symbol.
- Run the game you want to cheat at
- Press the spanner that’s overlayed by Game Hack.
- Search for the number you want to change. The number of coins you have for example.
- Game hacker will probably find this number a few to hundreds of times. Click ok to return to the game
- Change the number but purchasing or however you either increase or decrease this number.
- Click the spanner again.
- Type the new value in and search.
- With luck only one or two occurrences of this number now show up.
- Change the number to be a few million. Ok and you are sent back to the game.
- Look in wonder that you now have a few hundred million bucks or whatever that you have had to sell your house to have been able to afford.
Games that this has worked on
- Plants vs Zombies 2 (Coins)
- Mini Gore 2 (Coins)
- Bad Road 2 (Coins)
- Subway Surf (Coins)
- Dead on Arrival 2 (Coins)
- No Zombies Allowed (Buck, Supplies and Coins)
Infact the only game I have tried and failed to cheat at is Zombiewood. However for this game there is a hacked save file available that gifts you a few million bucks and coins. If you find a way of hacking Zombiewood with Game Hacker then please let me know by leaving a comment. And as you can see from the list I like zombie games.
Danger
Use of this hack tool will probably make games boring, asa there will be no challenge. But it will save you an unlimited amount of real world money that you would probably have not spent on the game anyway.

Ok so where I am living the wifi is terrible. As I have hacked 5 available wifi networks from the 20 or so I can pick up, I found the need for a utility that would hop between chosen detected networks when one failed. Seeing as on Tao the networks go up and down, along with two to three power cuts per day causing everything to reset.
Searching around for a bit on the net I found the easiest way to achieve this was to get netsh to do the work and have a utility the pinged 8.8.8.8 (google dns) every second and recorded information from netsh.
Hence I created a utility in vb.net 4 that does just that.
Purpose
A wifi network is constantly polled to see if its connected. When it fails it tries the next on loop.
So in a nutshell Flaky wifi will find a usable network out of those that you can connect to and when it fails it finds another.
Enables you leave you computer on and downloading torrents all night and all day when the wifi networks around you go up and down or their connections to the net do so.
If you create a link to the util in the startup folder then when windows BCD’s and reboots if you have uTorrent auto loading too then things will carry on. Continue reading »
