FWIW, I tried comparing plain h265 streams using mkvmerge and mkvextract and I did get a match after remuxing the video in mkvtoolnix missing 1 subtitle (the source file has 2), I also got a match with a Dolby Vision video stream. Mkvextract can't write to stdout, so if you use these 2 tools expect ...

The only thing to watch for is that the file is written correctly. It has been reported that MKVtoolnox has had a few problems in the past with either file writing or reading certain streams correctly. I've experienced this with a couple Dolby Vision web files (Ted Lasso and Bad Monkey). I'd argue t...

... a powerful router to handle 4k ... Not really, only WiFi 5 (802.11ac) 5.4GHz is required. If needed, just mix in a 5.4GHz WiFi 5 "mini repeater". It might work fine straight to the Ugoos through a couple walls, but I've never tried it. * You _CANNOT_ use the 2.4GHz compatibility/IoT b...

... to handle mounting the ISO... If you're going to mount it, use a .zip and not a .iso file and mount that. If you must have a drive letter you can mount the .zip with "subst". If it has to be a symlink I *think* you can use "mklink" prior to that. I can't test this, but as fa...

The image should be identical representation fo the disc. I don't think it is here, I think that's a hang over belief from the CD-ROM days where ripping was treating the drive as a block device and bytes were read "raw" and the LBA was replicated to combat the lazy copy protection of magi...

see guide below... I keep forgetting to bring up a issue with that guide so here: That guide does not mention the Linux bugs that are now present in the recent makemkvcon's. I know this because someone asked me a couple months ago on how to do it and I referred them to that guide and of course they...

A lot of Blu-ray movies/tv shows are 1 big .m2ts file per movie/episode, so keeping a complete disc image is only a burden for players that you can't make a single file playlist for. Granted some disc images are chunked .m2ts files, like the UHD of Gladiator 2000, but these discs seem to be an extre...

Ali Express ... will refund you if it turns out to be a fake... This is not an objective fact, it's 50/50 at best. AliExpress uses what e-bay uses which is what they both call "deliberation". The reality is that it's not deliberation but corporatism, meaning the burden of proof is solely ...

This was never a Matroska container problem, it's a player problem. Safest way is to copy the frame to duplicates in the quantity of $seconds * $framerate and join them back. I think you *might* be able to do this with ffmpeg in place, but dumping the frames to a bmp (or whatever) then globing them...

Are you all mainly looking for the ease of access to the titles? Using these planned obsolescence devices is not a wise decision, but I understand if the concern is mainly the ease of access to the titles, not the device or file properties. I feel like someone needs to keep reiterating to newer peop...

Lithium based products have taken over these applications almost entirely.

They do not claim this anywhere.

I'm sorry, I thought you all were chatting about https://www.kaleidescape.com/ (which does state that). Which product are you all talking about?

Someone is for sure going to reverse engineer the Kaleidescape... Be careful, this is almost certainly a gimmick. Read the specs, or only the one spec of "every 4K movie available" in 192TB... yeah that's not happening. I'm older so I've seen these gimmick players come and go for over 25 ...

It's trivial with BASH to remove the '.' character. I'm not sure which shell you're using, but you can execute BASH with the '-c' switch and pass just about any command.

Also consider setting up a dedicated PC as a storage solution as an alternative to a NAS. NAS enclosures are surprisingly costly these days, unaffordably so. 3D printer is the answer. You can download CAD files and send them to places like jlc3dp.com and come out a couple hundred USD ahead. I have ...
