Yeah something needs to be tweaked, hopefully just a single setting telling it to play original and that’ll fix it all. I can deal with audio transcoding locally, but unless it’s some weird video format that I’ve ended up with on some rare old file I don’t want it touching anything else.

H110Hawk posted:https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/10/24/20930560/nvidia-leaked-shield-tv-pro-boxes-on-sale-early-best-buy Have you tried a Firestick 4k? I know it's not as favourable here as the Roku is but I switched a few family members off Rokus and onto Firesticks, they all direct play virtually every file now. The Shield is still the best overall but asking them all to dish out $200 is a hard ask. The few files on the Firestick I couldn't get to direct play or direct stream from its native Plex app all work perfectly on the Plex app within Kodi on the Firestick and there's a setting within Plex on Kodi where it immediately boots from Kodi directly into the Plex app.

Am I right in thinking that the desktop app now allows sync? I never use it but a friend is going somewhere and wanted to know if it was possible to save stuff off my server. I told them to get a one month plex pass and the phone app, but I’m sure I heard sync has expanded beyond that now.

I've never used it but it's there.

FWIW it works well, but you can't choose it as a sync destination like you can with mobile, or convert. You have to open the new plex desktop app, then choose download.

Just got the first 100mbps+ movie I've ever seen in the wild- Universal Soldier, at 100.2 mbps. Are there any other movies in the 100 megabit club? The closest I've come to that bitrate until now is the original cartoon version of Ghost in the Shell which is something like 90-92 mbps.

I would imagine so, it probably peaked at 100mbit for a short time as it’s only a 55gb or so file. Was fun watching it again the other night, it’s a wonderfully bonkers film.

It feels like this bullshit has gone for so much longer than the old ‘DVDs being cropped for full screen TVs’ did. I guess the flow of widescreen TVs getting popular not long after helped. So now I guess we need high def full frame monitors to be the new big thing for the home to finally get them to release poo poo that looks correct.

Apparently the HD masters of Seinfeld were butchered for TBS, Amazon, and Hulu, but were completely fixed for Crackle, and I can only unearth seasons 3 and 4 of the Crackle version anywhere. And since the show is no longer on Crackle we're basically screwed on ever getting the proper HD releases for seasons 1,2,5,6,7,8, and 9.

Isn’t the hulu version 16:9? The source AR is chopped to get to that. Sliced on top and bottom and extended a little on the left and right. It’s not like Friends where the source material had a ton of extra width allowing them to fit the frame nicely.

I've been watching Seinfeld on Hulu off and on and it looks good to me. TBS is the worst one because those episodes are also sped up (so they can fit in more commercials). You are missing a decent amount of info on the bottom of the image on the Hulu rips. This isn't an oddball scenario like the full-frame version of Terminator 3 having more info than the widescreen one, it's a situation where they zoomed in on the film masters to make them 16:9. So they do LOOK great because film zoomed in still looks awesome, but you're missing a decent chunk of info on the bottom of the image. Here's a quick and dirty example I am able to show for you:  Hulu/TBS/Amazon version on the left; DVD version on the right (and the Crackle 1080p version would look this way as well)

Since 32mm film is 3:2 there's additional information on the sides that get opened up with the 16:9 re-framing too which reduces the amount they have to crop vertically. Ideally streaming services would just include both, it's kind of stupid that they don't provide that choice already.

If they did selective cropping (instead of just zooming in randomly) then yeah that's not so bad. Still sucks no one bothered to capture seasons 5-9 from Crackle though. I get very OCD with stuff being "lost forever".

Sigh, there isn't a low-profile single slot card that's both decent at gaming & does hardware encoding, is there? At least not at a ridiculous price? I have a GT 1030 but it doesn't hardware encode, and it looks like the only affordable encoding capable card is the R7 250  My HTPC is a solid little 720p gaming rig right now.edit: Looks like the P620 is the only "reasonably" affordable card that can do both, but it's $175ish... bus hustler fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Nov 13, 2019 |

I looked deeper into those rips, and I'm pretty certain that Chumbawumba is right in that s5 onwards don't exist, as they were done by a member of the site I'm looking at. I found a thread where it seems there became an issue in grabbing the source, and the episode they linked to appears to be one from s5 doing some googling. quote:ffmpeg -i "HYPERLINK "http://content.uplynk.com/ext/6790c94a453741799d3f3fb3bc9023a4/2483799.m3u8" -c copy s03e01.ts Then time ran out. quote:only 9 days left, anybody know how to capture the .m3u8 from crackle on an appletv Some progress was made, but they could only extract episodes at half the bitrate of the previous ones and it doesn't look like they were released.

The Simpsons has a ton of sight gags that depend on the near-extremities of the frame - the Duff thing, sign gags, etc - that make the AR fuckery a do-not-watch. Seinfeld...ehh I'm not happy about it but whatever. It's not a big enough deal to fall back to DVD rips IMO. I can't think of anything the crop ruins.

I think most of it was from TBS but I don't really know. For the most part it was totally fine and the PQ improvements were worth it to me. Simpsons though, hell no.

Guess who spent today curating a 100 entry long playlist just to find out they don’t get shared to other users. Now to turn it into a collection I guess, which I then can’t do any kind of custom ordering in. Some of the implementations in this software baffle me at times I must say.

Does that still work? I saw mention of it but with the plugins being murked I presumed it was a dead end. I’m pretty sure I installed them at one point so will give it a go. Thanks! e: sweet, my install was still there it just needed updating from v2.4 to latest, then the playlist options appeared. I take it if I update this I'll have to copy it to all the users again? No big deal as in most cases Collections replaced playlists for me anyway. Shame there's no option to send a playlist to all users, or replace an existing one if there (I pressed copy twice, and it made 2 entries) but I'll take it. Thanks again.
