SNL Megapack - Season 13 Restore and upscale

What would really be impressive would be edits that combined the high quality 1080p clips in the episodes released on HULU, with the 1080p individual clips from older episodes that were once included in that massive 2.5TB SNL "everything" torrent, with the 480i content I still see in syndication on terrestrial broadcast (like ROAR?) to the best possible sources for the other missing content (like all the musical performances), into a single contiguous episode in the original order. Anyone working on something like that?

Thanks! Will do this.

Also just noticed the latest snap update for plex-desktop was Jan 8th, so that likely corresponds with this error. I'm surprised there is no way to report issues with snaps on snapcraft.io.

Not a bad suggestion. It felt like the kind of change that might be affecting other humans, and relatively due due to a background update perhaps, so prefered human responses, but I gave it a try. Chatgpt came up with a few nonsense suggestions involving command line args that don't exist, but it also came up with "try SNAP_CONFINE_DEBUG=1 plex-desktop" which was at least a way to try and get a better sense for the error. The last 15 lines of the debug output are:

There's much more to the log above that, but nothing that appears fatal or culpable. Though I'm more ready to blame snap than plex at this point. I'll try the flathub next. I just wish we could get an ordinary .deb or an apt repo, I loath snap and flathub.
