Re: 4K playback at home

Went ahead and got the Shield Pro and 4k is playing quite well with the Kodi app inside Shield (through the Google Play Store).

Just in case anyone needs to know.

Re: 4K playback at home

I do wish there was a 2021 shield, but I don't think much has really happened in the way of chip speed. I've ready about Odroid N2+ and CoreElect but I'm tired of bleeding edge. It's 2021, for goodness sakes, 4K should be EASY. I'm thinking shield and trying Kodi, if that doesn't work move over to P...

Re: 4K playback at home

Hard wired gig network. (I added this to my original post).

I would assume (because I do not know) the Kodi box (NUC) is doing any and all of the heavy lifting and the unraid server is simply serving the file.

4K playback at home

I've been ripping for years. Decided to try 4k rips since I've got one nice t.v. at home. Ordered a drive from Billy (great guy) and a 4K disc from amazon (Mission: Impossible (the first one)). I have an unraid server at home. I use an Intel NUC with LibreElec / Kodi. Hardwired gig network. It's not...

Billy is THE guy. I ordered a drive from him. He can't be any nicer or more helpful. The drive came quickly. Worked just as touted. Ripped my first 4K today. Plays on my computer nicely. Now, let's see if my Libreelec can handle it at home... Thanks, Billy. I replaced my 2013 NUC / LibreElec that wa...

Re: Knives Out - US Retail

The rental file and what MakeMKV chooses are different.

They line up until about 3/4 of the way, then differ. Have not watched it, yet.

Re: Anna (2019) - Which Playlist?

MakeMKV is choosing a file as the main feature. It doesn't run in sequence correctly near the beginning when the modelling agent goes into the Russian market and discovers Anna. This sequence is out of place. I'll try 757 and see if that sequence looks correct. MakeMKV may want to take note. https:...

Re: Avengers 4 endgame

ANSWERED... I was lazy. Found out you decrypt so you don't have to run it through MakeMKV again. Carry on... Quick question... Oops, this is UHD forum and not bluray, but actually the question is still valid, I guess??? When backing up a full bluray until the proper playlist is known, does it really...

Blind Mode 2.0 Audio track - VLC

I've been ripping for years and this ones new. The last two bluray discs (Pets 2 and Rocketman) both play the 2.1 audio track with blind narration. There is no other 2.0 English audio track to play. The Eng 5.1 audio track does not have the narration. Has anyone else experienced this? I use LibreEle...

Re: Cold Pursuit Redbox USA

Maybe just watch "Order Of Disappearance" the foreign version and call it a day. Probably a lot better anyway.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Looks like it's scene for scene the same movie from the trailor.
