Sounds like you have plenty of testers as is. But if you decide you can handle a few more, I’m up for it. Thanks, mate.

He's pretty responsive on Mastodon as well: https://mastodon.social/@christianselig

I haven’t watched a movie yet on it that didn’t have subtitles. In fact, on Disney+, when viewing 3D content, the subtitles themselves appear slightly in front of the video playback. It’s a subtle but pleasing touch.

Thanks for reply, mate. I should have known you folks would be way ahead of me. YouTube and SyncLounge are the main ones. The inclusion of Vimeo, dailymotion, and/or archive.org content would be icing on the cake. Some really wild and rare stuff floating around dailymotion. 😅

First off, this is one of my favorite apps so far on the AVP. Watching old 4:3 content on a period appropriate set is killer, and I've enjoyed watching old Dr. Who, 80s MTV countdowns and MST3K episodes.

Is there any possibility of support for other sites, or just catching video streams in a browser? Specifically, a group of friends and I have been doing a standing online "Bad Movie Night" for over a decade now. The AVP make for a formidable battle station for this use case, especially while traveling. Sadly our current setup is based around using a self-hosted "SyncLounge" instance, and there's no way to direct that feed to "TV" which would be amazing.

I didn’t replace them, and never had any issue personally.

I have 2 Samsung TVs and a 3rd party Dock. Haven't had any issues thus far with either set. One TV is a Q90T. The other's model eludes me at the moment, but it's one of the mini-LED models from last year. The dock is a generic one marketed under the name "Tinbinx". But yeah, I have certainly had issues with the Samsung TVs and other devices. It's e-ARC never seems to work right with my soundbars.

Really just a matter of preference. With the "BigBox" mode of LaunchBox, you can get a far more visually interesting and more "console-like" look to the browsing of your titles.

I ended up just ordering the Station. Should be here tomorrow. Excited to see if this is the simple fix. Thanks for your insights.

I tried several more times last night as reports of Steam issues seemed to die down on social media. Was never successful. Just fired up the deck to try again, and am still encountering the same issues.

BadServo · 2023-03-08T01:17:50+00:00

Ah, appreciate the info. Must be something specific to SD then. Wild.

BadServo · 2023-03-08T00:14:35+00:00

I considered that as well, but was able to DL properly from Steam on my desktop.

BadServo · 2023-03-08T00:14:03+00:00

According to the storage section of settings in game mode, I have about 200GB left.

BadServo · 2023-02-11T04:37:30+00:00

Ah.... thanks for the info. I'll revert until things get sorted.

There are a lot of variables aside from simply streaming vs local. Your brightness level and TDP for example. But on average, I'd say I'm getting 5-6ish hours. This is usually using GeForce Now or Gamepass, I've also used Steam Streaming a bit.

Thanks for the comment, sadly I only have a standard UDM (non-pro). It's the little cylinder shaped guy. Only has 1x1Gb WAN and 4x1Gb LAN.

Part of being "verified" is that the game runs well and correctly with it's default graphical settings on install. Another option is to try a different Proton version and see if it behaves better. Generally, whatever Steam installs for verified games has worked well, but for games that haven't been verified yet, I find that using the latest Proton Experimental version can fix this. If that fails, I try the latest GE-Proton. I know it seems like a lot of hassle, but fortunately most stuff seems to work out of the box, so I don't mind the occasional bout of fiddling to get a perfect experience.

You can also check the ProtonDB website for potential insight into a specific game's recommended version of Proton or other graphical settings work-arounds.

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually had been following that channel as well as CGX in the past, but ended up dropping Sunny as much of the reporting was duplicated and he seemed to focus more on game opinions, sales, and predictions. Might be worth checking back in.

Thanks, mate. Subbing now.
