I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn’t transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.

Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven’t looked back.

Is this what cracking Denuvo does to people?

Doesn’t this make NewPipe better in that instance? If it’s client side you aren’t going to be rate limited.

There is also a fork of NewPipe that integrates SponsorBlock (I don’t know if Piped has that).

What happens if you use SmartTubeNext on a TV? I’m assuming the interface wouldn’t support the 3 strike YouTube popup so I guess you’d just get blocked without knowing why?

I’m guessing ReVanced will support the pop up so you’d know.

Relay is still working for me, including NSFW content:

Remember how long DivX/XviD hung on for, it’s all down to device compatibility.

The links under section 1 link to Reddit, may be an idea to host those elsewhere?

EDIT: I missed the link at the bottom, looks like it’s all on rentry.co
