In Eternity (the app I use to browse Lemmy), the sidebar is equivalent to the "About" tab of a community.

For good measure, let's also mention Kodi's support for 3rd-party add-ons, such as various legitimate (e.g. national broadcasters) VoD services, pirate streams scrapers, live TV (e.g. IPTV or TVHeadend), as well as e.g. Jellyfin/Jellycon. And that's not even all!

It looks like a cropped screenshot from the repositories view in the Droid-ify app. However, in my Droid-ify app there's nothing wrong to be seen.

I removed my downvote after realizing you're actually right, in a sense. In scene terms, a "webrip" can be a screen recording, whereas a "web-dl" by definition isn't. By these definitions,

Things are usually ripped by recording the screen

could likely be true, even moreso if you count "recording hdmi stream after breaking hdcp" as a screen recording.

Rips are rips, with a degradation in quality compared to the captured source. WEB-DLs are the source itself (of a chosen resolution), with no degradation.

It's not the same thing but that doesn't mean it's not theft, nonetheless.

I missed it too...

I had no idea this alternative existed.

Thank you for sharing! I've got to try this.

Get an Android Box and run the apps you want to.

Sounds like the devices aren't properly connected yet. In the settings of the SmartTube app, go to Remote Control to find the numbers you need in order to connect to SmartTube. Then, in the YouTube app (unmodded or Revanced) on your phone, hit the Cast-button, then "Connect with TV-code". Enter the code, and you're ready to cast. Next time you want to cast a video, just hit the Cast-button and select the device with its name ending in "(SmartTube)".

Never heard of HDO Box. Is it good? Do I need a debrid subscription in order to use it?

^ Would you really consider that comment stolen, rather than digitally copied?

Please understand that copying intellectual property and theft are, legally speaking, two different things. If I build a machine that just makes endless copies of your intellectual property, just because I can, it doesn't affect your income whatsoever. You don't get more poor for each copy that's made.

I agree with you about pirating media that's not legally available. However, a lot of great content will become unavailable at some point in the future. Making a copy for the archives while it's possible is a good idea for any media you care about, since there's no guarantee that anyone else cares.

Correct. There's no need to login.

I believe he's using it for ebooks, not audiobooks. I don't think it's playing audio.

In that case, you can ask your ISP to set their router to bridge-mode, to disable most of its features, before connecting your own router to it.

Good to hear that ed2k is still alive! It's been ages since I've been there. Any advice for the best ed2k experience in 2024?

As we're talking p2p clients here, I have to mention soulseek. It changed my life! It's especially excellent for lossless and rare music, but various other types of media can be found there too. There are soulseek clients for most OS's, including slskd to be selfhosted and accessed through a webui as well as graphical desktop clients, where I believe Nicotine+ is a popular choice.

🐎〰️💨 I'll be back!

If you really wanted it, you could just upgrade and pay the entire difference between the cheaper and the faster subscription plan yourself, to let your roommate keep their original price. If the prices increase, calculate again

Like this:

$99 / 2 = $49.50 (his price)

$129 - $99 = $30 (the total difference to cover)

$49.50 + $30 = $79.50 (your price)

No free digital channels on DVB-T with an MPEG-4 decoder?

Maybe the audio codec of those HD streams is somehow not supported by TVHeadend? Or do you think the audio stream is being encrypted by the provider?

Would you mind sharing the list? Or is it just inside your head?

If it's just Jellyfin, a SBC (like RPi 3B+ or better) running LibreELEC (just enough OS for Kodi) with the Jellycon add-on would do the job.

(There's also the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on which integrates your Jellyfin media into the native Kodi library, but my success with that has been limited.)

Configure LibreELEC to auto-connect to your phone hotspot, then you'll be able to control it using the Jellyfin or Kore app for selecting the media, and the Kore app for more advanced Kodi remote control. In my experience, at least, Kore is better for configuring subs and audiostreams, and for fwd/rev and fine-grained seeking.

Actually, I thought that Jellycon as the solution would make it impossible to select the media to play from the Kore app, but I just noticed that it's actually possible:

In Kore, select "Addons" in the sidebar, tap "Jellycon", then navigate to the "Content" tab, and tap "Jellyfin libraries". This means that you can control it all from Kore! - though, imo, the media overview is a bit prettier in the Jellyfin app, but I think the trade-off is worth it for a more sleek solution. You'll only need the Jellyfin app or webapp for forcing library scannings, editing metadata and such.

I guess it would work on desktop too, but in an Android emulator.

I switched to Jellycon that doesn't integrate with the Kodi library, but rather acts like other basic Kodi add-ons. You can still browse the Jellyfin library through the add-on in Kodi, and through the Kore app by navigating to add-ons > Jellycon > Content tab, though I mostly initiate media playback from the Jellyfin app on Android. Direct play works too.

Or you could encode the hexdump to audio and press it into vinyl. But in this case, as well as the QR, i think, you'll have to keep some physical backup (that isn't encoded) of the decoding algorithms for QR or the audio, otherwise you just have some funky pixelart/bleepbloop sounds to enjoy but no data - if every other copy is gone... Well, you could spend the rest of your life trying to calculate it then?!

It seems there's a 560 and 560S, and they look very different from each other.

Just to make sure, are you referring to the 560S, or the 560 in plural?

If you can point me in a direction for those 13 torrent files, I'll be very thankful!

Do you mean you can use private trackers in prowlarr and jackett? Just to clarify, since you wrote "public".

The page you're linking to is a good read. I had heard about a handful of the problems through the years, but having them presented and precisely explained like this was great, I think.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to download lossless files from Spotify

Any files in lossless formats from Spotify will not actually become magically lossless by converting them to a lossless format, though they will have a bigger size than the lossy mp3/aac/etc... file they were made from.

Some "Spotify downloaders" actually find the tracks on other sources and download them from there, but I've heard that Deemix (or Murglar for Android) with a Deezer ARL is a much better solution.

I measure only for fun. That doesn't suck.

Does the client app have some advanced scanning capabilities, or what do you mean when you're calling "paperless" a document scanner?

like Dropout managed to

I'm glad they did! I really enjoy many of their shows.

There's a new season of Game Changer btw! Episode 3 was just released, and it seems there's a new episode every other monday.

  • Automatic app refreshing. Sideloadly will automatically refresh your apps every few days to prevent them from expiring! NEW!

Anyone else around here who thinks FLauncher is the cleanest AndroidTV launcher with brilliant customisation options?!

3rd party launchers for Android TV changed my life for the better.

Currently running FLauncher on a Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K. Such a nice, clean experience without ads and with support for sideloaded apps, and good customisation options.

I tried Leanback On Fire first, and it was decent too, but FLauncher suited my needs better, customisation-wise.

On my Android box running SmartTube, I can cast to it a few seconds after it's booted up. No need to open the app first.
