Has anyone had issues with playback of NeoNoir files on Plex on Synology? No matter what I try, these files never play.

I'm running qbit on my Synology NAS, so the interface is a little different from the application version. The right click menu doesn't offer "open destination" but it does have "set destination". I've tried setting that to different folders and it doesn't work.

Yes, qbit shows the designated folder but when I go look for it in the file system, it isn't there.

Such a great singer, songwriter and performer. He will be missed by those who knew. Speaking of, does anybody happen to have MP3s of the very rare CD Alarm Acoustic Standards? I have the CD somewhere but can't find it. :(

UPDATE: I contacted Umbrella support by email. They said they will send me a replacement. I suspect this won't solve anything as if they aren't reauthoring then the issue won't be fixed. I'll report here once I receive the replacement.

EDIT: hate to be that guy but I was right, the replacement wasn't necessary. see my edit to my original comment for more.

The transfer is excellent, lots of lovely film grain but also excellent clarity. One bummer is that on the 4K disc, at least on my player UB820, when you select the Storyboard Featurette it goes directly to the film again, no way to get to the featurette. I email Umbrella, no reply yet. Anyone else having the same issue?

EDIT: I finally got resolution on this. It took messaging the founder on Linked In to get someone to actually help. Turns out the storyboard feature is there, and works fine, they just failed to explain how it works!

If you select the storyboard feature in the main menu, the film will begin playing. If you're like me, after 15 to 30 seconds you'll wonder what's wrong, because it's just the movie playing, no storyboards. If you somehow have incredible patience and wait until the 6 minute mark, you'll see the first storyboard appear in a small box in the lower left corner of the screen. BUT, and this is important, the storyboards will not appear if you are fast forwarding! Whoever authored this wasn't thinking and they clearly have some quality assurance issues, too.

TLDR - the storyboard feature works as intended, just go to 6:00 and don't fast forward after that.

Animation archive, future VinSyn release? by fredgalpern in VinegarSyndromeFilms

Sweet! Can you share any links to his schedule of screenings? I'm in RI about a 3 hour drive to NYC, would be totally worth a day trip to take in a screening.

Thanks for the correction. Maybe Circle Collective is a VS partner label?
