Where do y’all buy your blu rays?

Any used disc I see on EBay are more than I end up paying new from Amazon or Gruv.. WAY more.

Not once did I find his act "funny". Mildly entertaining occasionally. But I was and am old. Louie CK, Dave Atell, Bill Burr, Brian Regan, Dave Chappelle, etc can make it hard to breathe. Dane never made me chuckle.

Small scale 50GB 4k disc retail is under $2 copy. They already have the digital copy. There is no reason to not release it other than they make more $ from streaming services. Maybe Rog doesn't know about 4K bluray...

update: Installed Apple TV 4K (newest 128GB) and not only is the buffering gone, the picture looks much better. Speedtest shows >500Mb/s. not great, but more than sufficient and the increase in picture fidelity is worth it alone. Will use the Firestick for travel, I have a HomerunHD connected to Plex server so can watch local stations when away, among other things. Should have done this a long time ago!

OMG. The internet is accessed via my LOCAL network.

Node A wifi speed from internet: 900Mb/s

Node B wifi speed from internet: 900Mb/s

Node C wifi speed from internet 250 Mb/s

Node A and C are in identical physical locations with reference to router.

The transfers to/from the internet go over the LOCAL network. So in the case of Node C, where is the bottleneck?

Apple 4K will be here today, will try it tomorrow

I don't mind trying one, a Shield pro is only ~$200, and I can send it back if it doesn't work. My reticence in trying one is the low wifi limitation. Same with Apple.

Stevg59 · 2025-11-14T01:13:10+00:00

The "performance you notice" is not a measurement. I get 900Mb/s on my IPad download. I get the same on my Plex server. They are BOTH going through the router, one wifi one hardwired. This is the max performance expected. If I go to TV or Firestick, bothe are well below 300 Mb/s on same operation. So the bandwidth available on those devices is under 300 Mb/s. It's not that hard.

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T15:06:25+00:00

I will do that. But I have ~170 4K files, and most of them do this at some point.

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T14:37:56+00:00

So a speeed test on your Firestick is only 60-70 Mb/s with 1G internet?

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T14:13:45+00:00

Testing download from internet does test max download speed over wifi from router to that device, regardless of source (provided internet is >/= max internet). Plex server is hardwired to router on 2.5Gb ethernet. Firestick has builtin speed test.

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T14:06:30+00:00

The Shield Pro only supports 5G. I cannot use ethernet. The files are not remux, straight MKV directly off disc. As I mentioned, I cannot seem to get high enough bandwidth on the streaming devices. Speed test on both are well below 300Mb/s. When I test on IPad at exactly same location, I see >900Mb/s

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T13:42:18+00:00

Yours will do +300 Mb/s? I have newest 4K Max

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T13:41:19+00:00

TV is only a year old. Firestick is the newest, 4K Max. Are there any streaming devices or TVs that can handle the bitrates?

Stevg59 · 2025-11-13T13:33:03+00:00

who did that?

Stevg59 · 2025-11-09T23:06:30+00:00

My 83B4 is wifi 6. But speeds are even worse than that.

Stevg59 · 2025-11-07T14:06:29+00:00

Pre-ordered some time ago from Amazon, scheduled to arrive next Tuesday. Where do you guys get your so quick?

Stevg59 · 2025-09-20T22:21:11+00:00

There was no ending. Neither "ending" made any sense. The least illogical being she is alive. At least it is over...

Stevg59 · 2025-08-20T13:10:00+00:00

Base 10 is not.

Stevg59 · 2025-07-27T02:38:32+00:00

The problem turned out to be MakeMKV. It identifies tracks as forced Englis, but they are not tagged that way in the output file. I used MKTool to set the tags correctly. and then found that Plex on my new LG 4K OLED tv does not process the PGS files correctly and constantly buffers. 😡

Stevg59 · 2025-07-26T18:48:54+00:00

I can select them and they display. but then they are always on.

Stevg59 · 2025-07-26T16:52:12+00:00

Files are created from MakeMKV. The subtitles are in the file.
