AOC and DAC are very different under the hood. AOC (Active Optical Cable) requires additional power for the electric and optical conversion. DAC is passive copper and doesn’t require any additional power. (there are also active dac cables that have longer reach). The Ex3300 hardware compatibility page doesn’t list any AOC as compatible, so you’ll probably need to purchase some DAC cables. I’d go with the same part number your friend let you borrow since you know those work.

There was also an episode of Buffy that was held from airing because the subject was a potential school shooting and it was planned to air like the day after Columbine.

The issue would resolve almost immediately after killing Qbit.

Cleared NAT translations and rebooted my router for good measure. No dice.

I’ll double check this, but my router is enterprise grade so I don’t think I would hit any NAT limitations.

Also, as mentioned in my other response, this isn’t affecting any other nodes on my network except the server running Qbit and Jackett.

I have another Ubuntu VM on the same host that works fine when this one is failing.

Thanks so much for the response!

Sorry, to clerify: this server is the only one effected. The rest of my network is working perfectly fine.

All other internet traffic is running without a problem, it’s only http/https traffic on this one server running Qbit and Jackett.

Thanks for the response!

Pull the bottom drawer out, there might be a set top box or something else connected to the TV via HDMI that you can unplug and use the cable from.

I travel with a Fire Stick and bring a female to female HDMI coupler for this reason.
