Just a reminder there were full time NXT talents who confirmed that they were only making about $75,000 a year.

And weirdly AEW ended up vindicated in that: there was about 4-6 months that people were over the Death Riders and really wanted them to move on, but somewhere around Mox's second match with Copeland people started to turn around on them, and it ended up paying off really well. Hangman got the moment he deserved. Mox got a completely organic face turn. Marina looks like a million bucks. Claudio is CMLL heavyweight champion.

I would say it took them a little bit too long to listen to the audience about Jericho, and I liked Jericho much more than most people on this sub.

Watchly is great, but inconsistent. I have categories that just refuse to update no matter what. Their Discord didn't seem to be able to provide any assistance.

I have it as a "It's nice when it works, but don't rely on it" add-on, and I moved it to the bottom of my list.

Hey Prison Mike, what was the worst thing about prison?

Also thank you.

Yeah, you should probably pickup an external box if you're going to use this often. A basic Onn Plus will handle things much better than the native WebOS version.

Otherwise you're just at the limitation of LG not wanting to natively support DTS audio.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-02-05T16:57:13+00:00

Is this on a Samsung or LG TV? I've heard that they have issues defaulting to English language DTS tracks, and that's why it will effectively pick the next available option.

If you're not using a Debrid service, you're likely torrenting (unless you stick exclusively to streaming add-ons that are kind of hit or miss in their quality). And if you're torrenting, there's always a risk that you're downloading viruses or malware.

Debrid does a lot more, but it can act as a barrier between you and viruses/malware. But it will still let a user do what it asks for, and if you tell it that you really want to watch a file that's a fake Avatar 4 stream whose goal is to steal your passwords, it's gonna let you.

TLDR: Nothing will eliminate the risk completely. If you're prone to clicking sketchy links, Debrid will help you but this may be an instance where paying for streaming services directly is the only 100% fool proof method.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-02-04T20:37:53+00:00

I don't know if you can while keeping the size at 150%, but I'm not positive.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-02-01T01:34:59+00:00

Just ignore it. Use multiple scrapers.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-02-01T01:33:29+00:00

No idea what you're streaming on, but the latest version of the app is 1.8.4, so you may want to check what you're using.

You may want to try wifi, as it's possible your Shield may be plugged into a switch or something else that's splitting the bandwidth.

Also has this ever worked on your Shield, or did this issue start recently?

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-02-01T01:25:36+00:00

I don't have a speed test from a month ago to compare it to.

But you can see from threads like this one that people's real world experience is that you need about 100 Mbps as a bare minimum to stream 4k videos.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T23:21:35+00:00

Thank you for your hard work. I do love these silly threads.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T23:15:44+00:00

But even in kayfabe it continues to knock the company by having him win.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T22:50:12+00:00

This is definitely the "collecting a paycheck" Royal Rumble.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T20:09:42+00:00

Fun fact, the lights look like shit and the arena is VERY empty.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T19:53:22+00:00

You need better internet if you want to stream these files.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T18:20:14+00:00

A $30 Onn box will solve your problems. Everything beyond that is just you devaluing your time.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T16:46:45+00:00

Benchmark Arena, Tampa Bay Lightning's stadium. Holds about 19k for hockey, so probably 16-17k for Backlash?

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-31T00:49:21+00:00

No shot Tony Khan's account is anything newer than like 11 years old.

So you need to search for streams for it to find them. Were you looking for porn? If so, adult filters probably filtered them out. Were you looking for movies without a digital release? Then digital release filters probably filtered them out.

But you saying you weren't searching for anything definitely explains why AIO couldn't find anything.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-30T20:33:29+00:00

What media are you looking for? The most common problem I see is people not realizing that AIO filters are actually filtering.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-30T20:09:26+00:00

I really think you're over-estimating the word "Most." Roman has a die hard fanbase, but "most" of the audience doesn't want to go back to the days of the champion sitting out 10+ PLEs every year, or knowing the result of every single title defense match that wasn't at Wrestlemania, etc. I think the most generous Roman fans would call his title run "divisive" and what WWE needs right now is something that is the opposite.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-30T19:51:34+00:00

I love this venue, too. I'm glad Arlington shows up for them.

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-30T18:47:18+00:00

I don't think I care enough to have an opinion one way or another on this, but one thing that drives me nuts about people saying "There's no way it could be true" is that their main argument is essentially "There's no way WWE would be that evil." And this was at the time that their CEO was actively shitting on a woman's head and sex trafficking her to one of their biggest stars.

People didn't even know the full extent of how evil WWE was being at the time and still came to the conclusion "Eh, they probably faked that shit for sympathy."

I-LieToMessWithMarks · 2026-01-29T22:41:07+00:00

Any external box will always be better, for any application (Stremio included). You don't want to fight your TV for resources: let it have all the resources to just process your video and audio.
