Charging at work via solar would be even better. If there was some way for businesses to be incentivised for it.

Are you sure network isn’t a bottleneck? Even with a gigabit network, copying 40gb worth of data back and forth can take a while.

Are you wanting to play it back on a TV? Get an AppleTV 4K and run the Infuse app. It’ll scan the network folder and build a library with its UI.

Although I’m pretty sure you can do the same with Kodi and its various themes.

Pirate rips of streaming content is already 100% quality. The files are literally the audio and video data repackaged into mkv files with no re-encoding. 4K Dolby Vision rips with atmos audio tracks are now common.

The only way the pirate copies will get better is if the streaming services start offering higher quality streams.

AppleTV4K + Infuse + LG OLED TV.

This gets me 4K HDR and Dolby Vision support. 24Hz frame rate matching, and lossless audio to my 5.1 audio system. And a UI that doesn’t lag or have any ads.

Infuse is what makes the AppleTV worth it. Although I download from a seedbox to my NAS, it’s so nice having a fluid and modern interface for browsing everything. How does real debris compare to that flow?

Now if Apple would just add TrueHD Atmos support, the device would be perfect.

I don’t think it handles livestreams. It’s just for playing back files in network storage. There are probably other apps for live streams.

I personally use an AppleTV with the Infuse app. Great UI, no lag, and it plays everything including 4K Bluray remuxes. You also get Dolby Vision, frame rate matching, and Jellyfin support.

You get diminishing returns. But yes, on a large 4K TV you can notice the difference.

I pirate my stuff anyway, so it’s safely stored in my NAS. But it’ll be a shame to see high quality Bluray media go away.

We need a “premium” streaming provider that can offer the same audio/video quality as 4K Blu-ray Discs. And then I’ll download those rips!

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for…but if you have multiple video files and just want one with multiple audio streams, you can combine them into a single file using the free tool MKVToolNix. This assumes the videos are the same length to keep them in sync.

Love the Analogue Pocket!

For playing videos: An AppleTV4K with the Infuse app. Just point it to your network share and it builds a library and plays back pretty much anything. It’s also incredibly user friendly for roommates or family to use.

As a feature request, I’d like to be able to permanently “hide” selected posts.

I could do this in Slide app for reddit and it was very useful to be able to hide pinned posts I didn’t want to regularly see.

Go to that community in Memmy, tap the three dots icon in the top right of the app, you get an option to block that community.

I’d also love this. Nothing against those communities, I just can’t read them so would rather not have them appear in my feed.

They’re available on the public tracker x1337

I found that Bluray rips can come earlier than the release date, but I assume that’s because of the time required to get the whole product supply chain up and running. And insiders can a copy of the physical disc early in that process. But for streaming, yeah same time as the rest of us.

On rare occasions a high quality copy gets leaked early. But most of the time, all you’ll get is CAMs until the movie is released on a streaming service, then that will get ripped in full quality. This typically takes around 6 weeks these days. After that you wait another 6+ months for the Bluray release which is higher quality still.

Somebody please make this a plug-in for Firefox.
