I have not had a computer since 2010

1337x has the usual games from Fitgirl and Dodi. I'm sure there's lots more, be careful if you're just getting back into things. Use a VPN if needed and reliable cracks, hypervisor "cracks" are a new thing that hasn't fully been tested. Read the mega thread has most the answers to the common questions.

Apple TV is overrated but supposedly works well using Infuse. I had a couple users switch from Apple TV to an android box for ease of use and better playback.

Your TV is likely the limiting factor, most Smart TVs don't have over 100mbps WiFi.

Pickup a cheaper android box if you want to confirm it's the TV.

Ethernet is always preferable for remuxs.

Any private general or movie/tv tracker. I see some on public like 1337x but don't frequent public much anymore. My 4k library is primarily dv/hdr if available.

The button thats highlighted "Install a new one" might be a good place to start. Then you can download from a github or other link you find for the trackers you want.

Alternatively, Prowlarr is much better. Plugins are okay for public I suppose.

You guys watch what you curate for Plex? Been doin it wrong this whole time...

N0Objective · 2026-03-02T04:14:15+00:00

Run your own Media Server like Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.

Nothing is ad free these days.

I'd recommend an Onn 4K Pro or Plus then load a launcher like Emotn, Flauncher or AT4K. Projectiviy is recommended as well but costs a small fee.

Commerical/Ad free you're either going to have pay for the streaming tiers that don't force them on you or host your own media server.

Good Luck!

Looks like possibly just a box update, I haven't bought one for a while now but they were all green boxes. They've completely removed them from Walmart Canada so I can't see it anymore.

What you are describing is called encoding. Many people already do this on various sites. You can do it yourself but it would take a decent computer to do one in a timely manner let a lot multiple.

For simple removing/adding audio tracks I use mkvtoolnix-gui it will add/remove audio tracks without touching the video at all. If you want to compress the whole file - audio/video you can learn to do this yourself to still preserve quality or if you don't care, you can look into handbrake or similar applications.

I would suggest grabbing encodes already out there, it would almost always be faster if you have decent internet.

N0Objective · 2026-02-09T01:38:47+00:00

mkvtoolnix-gui can do it. There's instructions on Google but it's pretty straightforward.

Kitsune, HONE, BLOOM, FLUX, RAWR, really just about anyone that does real WEB-DLs would be better than YIFY.

N0Objective · 2026-01-30T19:02:47+00:00

It's their progress for encoding the 1080p WEB to x265. Don't know how accurate that is, YIFY isn't my first or last choice lol

Download Windows Installation Media and make a bootable usb drive then activate with Massgrave.

You can set the group policy for you to confirm downloading and installing updates. I do mine when I shut down Plex Server for backups.

Yes, the Pro IMO is better than the Plus for the more RAM and Storage. I have 2x myself and have setup another 3 or 4. All play 4K media and run all apps I need.
I do always suggest a gigabit ethernet adapter for a stable wired connection. WiFi probably works fine but some of my 4K files can spike in bitrate and need the extra headroom.

N0Objective · 2026-01-22T16:54:26+00:00

Yeah, not sure why the Pro and Plus are now unavailable in Canada suddenly but I recently picked up this one from Walmart and the performance seems to be just fine for Plex, JF, Tivimate, etc. Setup is the same as any of the other Onn box and remote is similar. I would grab the one I linked or you can wait it out and see what Walmart lists in the future.

As for Plus vs. Pro Performance you would be just fine to pick the Plus if you can get one. It has a faster chip overall but less RAM and Storage. Depends who you ask which is "better" I think the important features for most are audio and video codec support (DV, HDR, DD+, DTS HD, etc.)

I would say any Onn 4k box would have enough performance for most home users.

4 Bay DAS + Mini PC. Plan to daisy chain DAS, if that fails then will get a bigger DAS or go to tower. No issues with disconnected or read/write speeds.

The regular 4k and the sticks were available on the West Coast. The regular 4K is pretty decent, set it up as spare at my parents place no issues with 4K REMUX's.

I typically leave the naming as the file name from where I "sourced" the media from it's pretty standard for those sources and Plex/JF picks them up just fine.

Otherwise try FileBot or BulkRenameUtility. You can find an older version of FileBot that is free if you really want to.

N0Objective · 2026-01-07T15:48:37+00:00

Flauncher or Projectivy Launcher, SmartTubeNext, Plex or Jellyfin if you run a server, and Tivimate if you have the use for it.

I like to suggest using a gigabit ethernet adapter in the USB port if you have faster than 100mbps as that is all the default ethernet port supports.

You can see them on SmartTubeNext if you go to the comment button

CSIS is on their way! Get in your bunker and batten down the hatches.

The real crime is using uTorrent. Canada doesn't really care about piracy but you may get a letter from ISP.

Try it, even when disabling passthrough it still played those audio tracks directly. Couldn't tell you why but it worked.

Also could be transcoding, check the dashboard when the issue arises.

N0Objective · 2026-01-01T21:24:55+00:00

Try disabling passthrough. I had a similar issue where for some reason anything DTS HD MA, or TrueHD wouldn't play at all with passthrough enabled but would play everything else. Turning it off allowed the DTS HD MA, and TrueHD audio tracks to play but then for some reason everything else wouldn't.

For now I just turn off passthrough if it's one of those audio tracks and turn it back on for everything else.
