   @echo off
   setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
   
   mkdir left
   mkdir right
   
   for %%F in (*.mp3) do (
       echo Processing %%F...
   
       ffmpeg -y -i "%%F" -filter_complex "[0:a]channelsplit=channel_layout=stereo[left][right]" ^
           -map "[left]" "%%~nF_left.mp3" -map "[right]" "%%~nF_right.mp3"
   )
   
   echo Done!
   pause

3. Save it as split_audio.bat

4. In the same folder as your .mp3 files.

Use Portal TV for Zoom Meetings after Jan 31, 2025

This is copied from here.

Just wanted to share that Zoom on Portal TV still works through running the web client version in the hidden Chrome browser. Here are my steps:

1. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo device to the Portal TV
2. Press Ctrl-B or Win-B/Meta-B to bring up the hidden Chrome browser (depending on keyboard)
3. Ctrl-L to enter URL for https://app.zoom.us/wc
4. Join Zoom via meeting ID
5. Enable Mic and Camera access
6. Profit!

I am glad they haven't taken away this method yet. If any Meta agent is reading this, please leave this be, my church really needs this to serve sick and elders who cannot come to the meetings physically. Thank you!

ALSO, I just discovered that the hidden chrome browser allows you to make shortcuts on main page!

Once at the Zoom join page (https://app.zoom.us/wc/join) in hidden Chrome, use the 3 dots menu and select "Add shortcut to Apps" then hit OK. Now there is a new replacement Zoom icon on the home screen and there is no need to open the hidden browser with the keyboard shortcut. Profit twice! :-D
