Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no? I'm not telling you to read every comment of every post, you can just skim the post titles. Then you'll see multiple open issues and a few closed issues too going back 5 days to the latest BtS update.

Though I haven't followed this project long enough to tell if this is just the way they normally behave.

Edit:

I'm back at my computer, so it's easier to edit and add info now.

Some key points that have stuck out to me:

• Previous version released in July only triggers 2 detections on Windows defender versus 29 for the most recent version: https://i.imgur.com/GIoH7eG.png

• Users getting constantly pestered to update to the latest version: https://i.imgur.com/Oege3kU.png

• Yeah, naturally, the dev is going to say it's a false positive. Obviously. I've only mentioned that the dev has previously responded because some people barely skimmed through the issues and thought the dev simply hadn't seen the latest open issue from only a few hours ago, when that is not the case.

if that even is your real name!

featuring lines such as "piracy is almost not the right answer"

you don't have to tell me information about why Rui's drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius' drive at first)

Some of you might already know, but I just found out you can download audiobooks via Book lib connect and return them afterwards. I just tried it and it worked, but I don't know if they will find out, so if you try, maybe use the usual privacy measures. Have fun.

We all have our favorites that we go-to overtime to meet our pirating needs. We've also watched a lot of big names in this year alone, go down in a blaze of glory and others in a whimper. I'm awfully curious what, to you, is the biggest loss to date?

For me it's Uloz, first thing that came to mind. Uloz has served me very well in acquiring music albums through them, for a good 6 years I recall that I used them for getting albums. When they decided to switch the way in how they do their service, that to me felt like a sucker punch. No longer can I just collect album names, find a sacrificial wi-fi network and go to work.

I also remember missing ISOHunt, EmuAsylum, EmuParadise, OG Pirate Bay, AnimeSuge (soon HiAnime once the piss-ants of ACE get their way soon) and I really hope we don't lose Internet Archive. But with the way it's been hammered by shitty people and court lawsuits, I predict that it doesn't really have much time on it's side in the near future.

All I can say is just thank you to all of those sources and of course the ones everyone is familiar with. Helped save me a lot of money, helped me increase my interests and eh, can't argue against free shit.

I travel a lot on weekends, so I often don’t get to watch my teams Sunday game. There used to be a site where you could go and watch the recordings of the past weeks games, but I can’t seem to find anything like that lately.

Anyone know of a way without paying $500 for NFL Sunday ticket?

It made me so thankful for piracy. What an abysmal experience. First of all, I’m on mobile and they make you use the app. There is literally no way to get around it except TOR, no using browser, even on desktop mode, as somone like me who is deaf, it means I can’t have my special accessibility extensions which sucks.

So I get to the app ready to watch my show. Bam Adds! Worse than youtube! It’s like an add every 5-10min that lasts from 5-40s. Who the hell can actually enjoy a movie or a TV show in these conditions?

I was like fine, I’ll download it to watch offline then. Nope, that’s blocked now. So I figured I’d tinker with DNS and see if I could manage to block those adds. That didn’t work.

I’m so glad piracy exists. I see streming services have gone full circle. No better than paying an absurd amount for a TV channel plastered with adds. Urgh. I’ll make sure to stay away from disney restaurants now so they can’t legally kill me since I watched an episode of futurama on their platform.

This may not be the place but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I need some guidance on video conversion software. I've pirated & tried Aiseesoft Video Converter, Wondershare UniConverter, VideoProc, Winxvideo AI & ffmpeg although I don't do very well with the command line and can't find one solution to do everything I need.

I'm seeking support for multiple file processing, custom profiles (resolution, aspect, etc.), all modern CODECs including HEVC, AV1/Opus, basic video editing, AMD Hardware Acceleration (have a Radeon RX 470 graphics card), hard and soft subtitles, audio normalization & constant rate or target bitrate control modes.

I've only ever found one software that would do all of these things & that was VSO's ConvertXtoVideo. Unfortunately, the company has downsized & only has 1 or 2 programmers and while they claim to be working on an UHD Converter, all they have right now is an Alpha version which, basically, does nothing.

If anyone can steer me in the direction of a free or paid software that will do most of what I'm wanting I'd be very grateful.

But removing Denuvo DRM after 12 weeks ‘causes zero mean total revenue loss.’

The tittle says it all

That command prompt.

What advice do people have for finding subtitles with things that require forced subtitles? Things like Lord of the Rings (where they talk in Elvish) or the Star Wars movies (different alien dialects) often require subtitles. Sometimes movies are entirely unwatchable without them. And for some reason, they aren't baked directly into the video file. This means that opening them in Plex or VLC by default does not display what's being said. This has led to many frustrating situations where I'll be watching something with a group of people and somebody starts speaking in another language. We're all left wondering "Are we supposed to understand what is going on here? Or is it supposed to be a mystery?" And then after 45-60 seconds of them talking in another language, it becomes pretty clear that there are supposed to be subtitles here, and they're just not there.

How are you supposed to know when there should be forced subtitles and when there shouldn't be? How are you supposed to find which one is the correct one where there are often so many options in Plex and VLC that say "English?" Most of them just play subtitles throughout the entire movie, which is irritating for most people we watch movies with.

I've tried messing around with open subtitles, but even that has been heavily hit or miss, and the last few days as I've tried it, the pages won't even load beyond the search.

Any advice?

I love Zotify and it's really helped me rebuild my music collection. It usually does a good job of grabbing full albums, but occasionally it will grab radio edits instead of album versions.

It does this silently so I find out later while listening, and Beets doesn't seem to catch it.

Anyone have a solution for this? There doesn't appear to be any flag for explicit/radio or similar that I can see.
