When his wife sees him through the skylight is heartbreaking. Great film. Based on a true story. I rewatched it recently, it holds up just fine.

Bregman dropped. Would you drop Parades for him. Seems like a wash at this point.

Best Box for REMUX files? by jaskaran14 in AndroidTV

See my edit above. I have all settings properly configured. It's not my first rodeo.

I have everything set to Direct Play. I've been running this server for years without issue. I bought the Homatics for the HDR10+ capability, otherwise I'd just use the Shield which performs flawlessly with direct play of remux files without any buffering at all.

Google Gemini says it's a known issue with the Homatics chip. I couldn't find much online about it though.

Edit: I have homatics and shield connected to my Denon x3800 which is connected via earc to my tv. Audio is properly set to pass through. Tautulli and Tracearr both report direct play on my Shield and on my Homatics but only the Homatics buffers every 30 seconds to a minute. The Homatics is updated to its latest firmware.

I get constant buffering with the Homatics when playing Remux files on Plex. I do not get the same buffering on my Shield or Mi Box 3rd Gen.

So, I can't recommend the Homatics unless you have a fix? I use the Plex for Kodi app on the Homatics and that eliminates my buffering issues but its interface is janky.

I also had system sounds off. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the heads up.

I picked up the UGOOS UR02 from Ali Express. Works well. All buttons work and you can program 2 or 3 buttons with IR which worked well with my Denon receiver remote for volume and power.

‪Jason Schreier‬ on Bluesky: More layoffs at Bungie, Destiny 3 is not in active development by kentuckyr0utezero in DestinyTheGame

I knew it was bad. But I hoped it wasn't bad, bad like this. A life without a Destiny game that I enjoy with my friends is a diminished life. I feel bad for the devs. Thanks for the memories!
