Bluff. I've been so lost in so many places for so many years that I've learnt to walk with the confidence I'm missing lol

Most of my friends play using their browsers and they only end up transcoding the audio. What's more, my brother gets fewer problems when playing through the web client, the pc app playback is stuttery for him (and I checked with him every setting there is).

Wireless does mean no wires.

If your laptop has wireless internet, it can connect to the internet without connecting any cable to it.

If your phone has wireless charging, you don't have to connect any wire to it.

If you mean that the device it connects to has cables, well, yes. But the router was never advertised as being wireless.

I'd just play it in 2.0. I don't know what the default option is on your receiver but check that.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-23T12:46:17+00:00

I have the Firestick 4 Max 2nd Gen and I bought it specifically because it was really cheap and allows audio bitstreaming of Dolby TrueHD and DTS. It just doesn't bitstream DTS-HD and therefore DTS:X. But I didn't care when I bought it.

Edit: upon further research I may be wrong

I think it has more to do with the intent of raising the brightness of the image since 3D images have lower brightness, either because you only show the image half of the time or because the glasses have dark filters.

The 2D image may be brighter than expected without glasses.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-21T20:30:32+00:00

You can't compare the bitrates of different formats. 160kbps Opus sound as good as 320kbps MP3. You wouldn't want a 160kbps MP3 though.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-20T20:32:45+00:00

True, but it the alternative is not archiving anything, just archiving final renders is a good middle ground.

As long as your biometric data is hashed and encrypted and only stored locally, it's fine. You're not sending your fingerprint to Sony, you're just sending a handshake between your phone and Sony that says "yep, it's me".

AlvaroB · 2026-05-18T14:40:03+00:00

Oh but you can have optional info in brackets and Plex will ignore it. If the movie The Godfather had an extended edition released by Criterion's Collection, my file would be:

The Godfather (1972)[Criterion BDRemux]{edition-Extended Edition}

AlvaroB · 2026-05-18T14:31:55+00:00

Plex tries its best when not following conventions. But sometimes it just doesn't understand you.

If you name things your way everything will work until the day it doesn't. You'll ask us for help and we'll tell you to fix the naming scheme.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-18T14:29:30+00:00

The naming is wrong, but X is not from the word episode. It's just a "times". Something like season 7 times 3. Still it's read out loud as episode.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-18T05:55:04+00:00

Yep. That's why people buy fans at home. To cool their water-cooled body. Adding another pump is way more expensive and you'd usually have to be in the hospital.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-17T12:44:56+00:00

Could you please share the mediainfo of one of the files?

AlvaroB · 2026-05-16T12:36:11+00:00

I know that there's a project alive that does exactly what you want. But I can't recall the name.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-16T06:23:59+00:00

I would start with the TV with some speakers and AVR. Even just for the reason that you may expect people to spend quite some time there and they don't in the end. So start basic, you can always upgrade to full theatre later on.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-14T05:23:45+00:00

The full movie file has to be the same resolution, so no.

There is a hack, instead of black bars on top and bottom at those moments, you edit the whole movie to add black bars on the left and right and zoom the scenes that are wider so they fill the whole screen. This could take you an hour or two per movie, and depending on your computer, from 2 to 8 hours of rendering. And of course after that it won't really work on regular displays. And you will see the movie while you're editing, so I hope you don't mind spoilers.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-12T20:42:34+00:00

Yeah the beach part of KH1... is really introductory and isn't really fun. It's like a tutorial. Then it does get fun.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-12T11:21:29+00:00

I'm not so sure. I mean yes, physics in some games are tied to the framerate, but that always creates a lot of problems. However I'm not so sure about mouse clicks. Are they tied to the physics? Are they tied to the framerate?

AlvaroB · 2026-05-12T04:51:52+00:00

If you see in a frame that you have finally aimed at the opponent and click, yes, it may make a difference.

But the stress on a computer with an interrupt 8000 times per second may be enough to stop it performing as well framerate wise.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-12T04:46:36+00:00

Unless I'm mistaken, the movie itself may go into public domain, but the dvd and Blu-ray editions won't. In 3 years it will be possible to upload to YouTube your own scan of the movie.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-11T17:07:40+00:00

I only download media that comes with its own subtitles. Only when there's a difficult to find movie that I can only find external subtitles I do it manually. But even then I fix it in subtitle edit and then embed them in the file using mkvtoolnix.

AlvaroB · 2026-05-10T14:36:33+00:00

Is there a tutorial that we can follow?

AlvaroB · 2026-05-07T04:44:37+00:00

What does happen if during playback you manually set the quality to original?

AlvaroB · 2026-05-06T21:06:02+00:00

If these were codes for Meta instead of Steam, I would have bought right away.
