I’m sorry that happened to you. So unfair.

Could it do Plex instead of Kodi? Always found the Kodi UI pretty amateur dev.

Ikr?! Wanna try and do a custom steam os device now 👀

Nope. Think about it, a blu ray player reads digital data. So you just store that data on a plex server and can directplay it, including passthrough audio for lossless surround or atmost.

Difference is a streamer is concerned with max device support, minimizing bandwidth and supporting users with variable internet rates. Locally, you don’t have those constraints.

Most common streamers have plex support for pretty much any video codec. But only the Shield Pro (and another device) supports lossless audio too.

I use a setup like that to make the most of my A95L TV and Denon AVR with 5.1 channels. Just make sure to use an Ethernet cable, cuz blu rays use a lot of data.

Shield Pro + Plex = Blu Ray streaming

1s and 0s, you can do anything with em

Thank god, we were all worried for you

I just reached all my goals at the end of 2024. So stretch goal in my case.

40 gig network for private ceph traffic. Do aggregation on all the nodes for redundancy. Maybe expand to 5 nodes from 3.
