Preferences explained somewhere?

#1 Post by ChaosEnergy » Wed Sep 03, 2025 12:50 pm

Hey

Today I got my verbatim drive, sadly with a bu40n not the pioneer variant, i falshed it
and now i want to start...

BUT...

before i start, i like to dig through the settings and expert mode and so on

Some parts are self explanation, but also some parts in preference menu are not

Is there anywhere a palce where all those settings are explained in detail, and when to use what
Just want to set the best options before i start

If it was in FAQ, this website part throws errors

You can find the FAQ via the Internet Archive's Wayback machine, but I don't think it had a comprehensive explanation of every item in the preferences.

Some stuff is explained in various posts around the forum. Changing names with Expert mode enabled

If searching the forum doesn't provide an answer, you could just ask.

when will i use a different profile than default
AAC,
FLAC (i saw it converts in this case the audio)
WDTV

Seems doing a full back is a better way to start, as i often dont know which is the right movie and i also like to keep the specials
ruipping off some languages would be fine,
sadly i cant extend the default language to two languages, cause i like to keep English and my local Language,
I dont find a way, to activate all or no subtitles, or audio with one click, is it really not possible?

and a very interesting question which could save me lot of time and effort

is there a way to play the makemkv backup folder (or maybe an iso) on firetv AND Samsung tv
i found kodi for mobile phone and somehow on a firetv,without a gallery , but no for samsung
is there some kind of mediaserver or at least aone player for all the plattforms?
