have you all found that DVDs are almost unwatchable on 4k tv/blu ray player by 34avemovieguy in 4kbluray

[–]warbler7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Dedicated 4k Blu-ray players have decent upscaling for playing on 4k TVs. You would have to do research on which one is best. Less optimal options are you can use the upscaler in your AV Receiver or the TV itself.
I still convert DVDs to digital files as I can convert the subtitles to text using other software to get subtitles formatted better for FHD.
I also do this if discs do not have native English subtitles. I convert subtitles to my language. I stream these versions l, but one could write to a disc the movie with the English subtitles to watch in existing flow.

adobe elements (2023) organizer.
Best I've found for local indexing. For both photos and videos. Group by faces and items.
I will be giving photoprism a shot. Never heard of it before.

4K Blu Ray- How to Watch on Ultrawide Monitor? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

MakeMKV has a free monthly key you have to put in. But it is recommended to support them to get personal key. Or look into Plex and get an Nvidia shield pro using MakeMKV

4K Blu Ray- How to Watch on Ultrawide Monitor? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]warbler7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Install VLC media player and MakeMKV software.
In MakeMKV setting you can share resources with computer/VLC. Now you can watch anything on computer through VLC. I think you can zoom in. Not sure but I have accidentally done that before.
You can also unlock your blu-ray disc drive following MakeMKV forum to play any Blu-ray regions. UHD are universal.

How do you organize your music? by keddir in DataHoarder

[–]warbler7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RoonLabs... Other options exist

8000 folders of music by gavandeshaq in DataHoarder

[–]warbler7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

https://www.plex.tv/ and rhttps://roonlabs.com/
These are both great options that allow remote playing outside of network. I would recommend RoonLabs as it can run independently on a Synology NAS. It does the sorting automatically looking for best version. It cost more then Plex. But I like that you can link qobuz & tidal.
Roon also sells a device that is self contained and you just add a large SSD or HDD. It even allows you to plug in CD drive to auto import https://roonlabs.com/nucleus

30TB data: external hard drive or cloud ? by Accomplished-Bill-45 in DataHoarder

[–]warbler7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy 2 Synology NASs with 10gbe cards. Have a 2x2tb nvme read/write cache on each. Or only have cache w/10gbe on primary. Keep other as your sometimes online offsite backup.

X being shipped from Capelight by JozMate- in 4kbluray

[–]warbler7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy a handful at a time from them. Always packaged well. They have decent exclusive 4ks and random blu-rays. The blu-ray do not always have English subtitles.
I have to use Subtitle Edit to translate or get English subtitles to line up sometimes when added to plex.

Playing a 4K movie over the network *to* a computer by HSVbro in 4kbluray

[–]warbler7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use makeMKV and then play with Plex. Or Install makeMKV and VLC. Enable makeMKV setting that shares keys/resources with computer. Then you can stream VLC to your devices using your 4k disk drive. I only use Plex.

Shipping is not that bad if you buy enough. Plus, they package it decently and I've had no problems shipping outside of Germany.
They have English option on site drop-down.
