My Ring app is going crazy the last few weeks about people saying drones are flying around. I'm sure it's normal...

I popped on the SNES with my Super Gameboy cartage for a visiting kid that's like 7 and he was amazed playing Super Mario World 2. It was a whole new game for him. I wish I could get a cheap working gameboy for kids today, the used market is scam now with the prices people are doing.

Smart watch will be what I get my kid instead of a smartphone. Its basically the modern day bepper in my eyes.

You can theme Kodi to look pretty close to Netflix, but not out of the box. As my library doesn't update too often, I can live with the slower refresh as it's a sacrifice I am willing to make for the ability to play everything in my library.

Really, for the moat compatibility, a PC with a wireless keyboard is going to 100% of the time work with subtitles.

Have we forgotten about Turning Red already?

Lion king 2 and lion king 1 1/2

My take: Lion King 2 has some rushed parts and other parts are too long. Overall, ok but forgettable addition to the series.

Lion King 1 1/2, starts a little rough for me, but once Timon leaves home the movie takes off and it's a good time. Recommend a watch if you have the first movie burned into memory.

I switched to Kodi on my Chromecast 4K to fix most of my video playback issues. However, I still have a few cases where Kodi can't decode the subtitle track, so I use subtitle edit to extract out the srt. Also, getting Kodi to always play subs is tricky, so I remapped the up key on the remote to always enable subs.

Kodi is also slower to show library updates on start, maybe a minute or so later and then it's don't with the sync. Maybe I didn't setup something correctly.... Anyway, give it a try. On my Sony with google tv the jellyfin app is great.

If it just language add the audio track to one of the mkvs. Ignore me I see your episodes are different cuts.

I found using Kodi helped resolve video codec support in my case. It was for AV1 nlon the Chromecast 4k, which doesn't support AV1, it seems to mostly work for smaller AV1 encodes. I guess it is using software decoding.

Maybe the switch for me would require staging on a burner pixel that supported. I have a lot of shopping apps, that I may not need, but need some time on the testing phone to make sure everything works before taking the deep dive.

This is also how I made the switch off windows. Stagged it on a space older laptop to see what's what.

I'll get there...
