Re: SPIDER-MAN_NO_WAY_HOME

We should give whoever set up the no way home titles a high five for the awesome naming structure. Made it easy to know what was on the disks

Disk subtitles spreadsheet

Sorry if this is a repost, but thought it might be useful for this group. Someone (not me) made this cool spreadsheet listing films and TV and weather english subtitles are built in or forced, so if you are backing things up for plex you can determine if you need to use a tool like MKVToolNixGUI to ...

Re: Blue Planet II

Was anyone able to back up disk 3? I am feeling very sad because I was able to back up my first 5 episodes from the first two disks but can't get the last episodes backed up. I hope this doesn't run afoul of forum rules but would anyone who was able to back it up be willing to give me access to thos...

Do MKV files preserve filmmaker mode?

I noticed the new Hobbit UHDs send the filmmaker mode signals to newer tvs. Is this something that makemkv or mkv files preserve? If not, is it on the roadmap?

Re: Changing default MKV audio track (Game of Thrones + Atmos)

For anyone who reads this and cares later, setting the default flag on audio didn't seem to change anything as far as plex was concerned, at least for Game of Thrones. It DID however care that for GOT subtitles I set them to forced. Instead, I'm using MKVToolNix to just remove the 5.1 audio track, w...

Re: Changing default MKV audio track (Game of Thrones + Atmos)

Thanks D00zah, that's straightforward. Do you know if I need to refresh meta data or scan files again in Plex to pick up the changes, or will it just do that at runtime when I go to play the video files after editing?

Plex and forced subtitles (Game of Thrones, Star Wars, etc.)

Hey folks, I've been doing some searches but haven't quite found anything definitive for my needs. I noticed when playing movies like Star Wars 4k or Game of Thrones 4k, that quite often the subtitles for alien languages, dothraki/valerian, etc. are missing by default. For Game of Thrones, if I go i...

Changing default MKV audio track (Game of Thrones + Atmos)

Hey folks, I've been getting into the video back-up world lately and recently backed up all of my Game of Thrones UHD disks to play on Plex. However, what bothers me from both the disks and the mkv rips is how the 5.1 audio is default, rather than Dolby Atmos audio. Can someone point me to a tutoria...

Re: Game of Thrones UHD Complete Series 1-8 - No Decrypt Key yet

Did you try to re-flash the drive's firmware and also fully shutdown and restart your PC (full cold power-down reboot, not just Windows' "restart")? Yesterday I tried powering down, unplugging, and restarting the pc to no avail. This morning i re-flashed, and will try again after the work...

Thanks to everyone sharing their solutions - just wanted to take a moment to say this is always such a helpful forum community :) Unfortunately, this feels like an epidemic with so many peoples' drives (including mine) suddenly not working anymore, so even solutions of doing encrypted backups no lon...

Re: Game of Thrones UHD Complete Series 1-8 - No Decrypt Key yet

just out of curiosity, as i'm not trying to go against any rules or get myself banned or anything, but saying we all own the same disks but have a couple episodes from certain disks that won't backup for whatever reason. is it kosher to work out some trades among people that may have gotten a certai...

Re: Game of Thrones UHD Complete Series 1-8 - No Decrypt Key yet

I've spot checked the disc I'm currently HIGHLY struggling with in my UB820 and it reads fine. (Damn they look good in DV). But the UB820 has only ever failed to read one disc of mine that is physically scratched badly (damn Harry Potter collection....see why I'm so pissed off about all this now?)....
