I'm saying, why should I trust the product at all that had 3 generations to not suck, with the technology available to work fine with the first generation. And they made the new Apple TV case bigger for no reason and I would have considered it if it was a stick that could be forgotten about forever. The teardown shows it can fit into a stick.

they made they appletv 4 case bigger to accommodate a bigass heat sink so it could have a higher clocked version of what was then their latest SoC, the A8. it could fit into a lameass stick if they crippled performance and went with a lovely parts bin SoC that can barely handle media playback, let alone games, like amazon and google did.

the apple tv 4 is supposed to be a bideo games console AND a media playback thing.

speaking of TV boxes, someone should make a Plex server box that automatically sorts incoming media into folders

something that's low power, small, and can play poo poo itself via a wifi remote

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Steaming is poo poo for things that need to be perfect quality (TV and movies).

The best way by far is the "watch while downloading" that PSN had on my old PS3. You're basically streaming but with perfect quality all the time, best of both worlds.

I tried buying a movie on iTunes (STAR WARS ep. 7) and, well. apparently something changed and my PC setup is no longer HDCP compliant. so I can't play it full res. plus, it's compressed down to only 5.2 GB? like, they call that high definition?? that's practically a scene release squeezed into a DVD.

is there an acceptable way to rip blurays without relying on a complex toolchain of ultra-grognardy programs full of complex encoding options that only pagancow would understand? does it still take hours and hours for a single movie? tia.

yep but you'll need to read a 40 page document from the library of congress to see if you qualify for a copyright exemption

UHD Blu-Ray has HDR and 10-bpc, so time to throw your OS in the garbage because it doesn't support either.

^doing it correctly

plex is poo poo because it actually requires ur comp to be on / a vps capable of decoding 1080 fast enough. appletv can direct stream off an external hooked up to my stebeport xtreme

why plex can't just stream off a nas, i have no idea. i use this app called infuse instead and its v needs suiting

this is bc AACS 2.0 hasnt been cracked yet, current uhd blu ray rips are just stream rips. supposedly the redfox guy is working on it though

theres a big and obvious difference between 1080 and 4k content on either my 32" monitor or my 55" tv (from ~8' away.) again the only reason u wouldnt believe this is a thing is not having a 4k display.
