Windows 10: Your TV is probably tracking you -- here's how to stop it

Your TV is probably tracking you -- here's how to stop it - CNET

 

People always talk about it like it is a bad thing. I prefer to see ADs related to me rather than some junk.

:)

 

Windows 10 changes the aspect ratio

The setting is changing on the TV, probably when the computer monitor goes to sleep and wakes back up. But it's the TV's settings that are the root cause. It probably sees the signal stop and start again, and "helpfully" re-applies the 16:9 instead of
staying on the fit option.

I'd see if the TV has an option to stop this. Your PC is definitely not changing the signal it is sending, but the TV is resetting it's preferences.

 

How Movies & TV select audio track when play MP4 with multiple audio tracks.

So over in the other forum they suggest to go back here.

How does "Movies & TV" select audio track when play MP4 with multiple audio tracks.

Who is responsible for the Movies & TV application? How can we get clarification for the question of

anko_sml?

If possible please help reach out to the responsible team to get them to post their answer here.

WMP chooses last track as default, so to fix that bug then we copy first track again in the end. Then you have the other Microsoft app Movies & TV, which seems to have completely random logic for which track it chooses as default. So where does that leave
application developers who want to make sure their applications can save MP4 files with multiple audio tracks compatible with Microsoft's applications? We really need some answers here so hope you can help.

Why does Movies & TV app choose track 3 as the default track for this file?

What is the logic? is it a bug? when will it be fixed? any known workaround (meta data to add that can make it select first or last track as default)?

 

Thanks, I needed that.

 

I prefer no ADs at all (related to me or not), and I usually mute the set during that time. Plus, why is the volumn increases to at least 1/3 higher when ADs come on. I thought in the US congress disallowed this.

I noted my LG was set to accept all, have disabled them.

 

Surely the way to stop this is: DO NOT connect the spyware to your network in the first place (just like IoT).

 

It is a bad thing! It violates my Privacy. It increases my resolve to NOT have anything "Smart" in my home that I cannot control.
It is just plain and simply unacceptable and I really do not care how manufacturers and OS developers try and sugar the pill.
