what were the titles of your posts?

Why don’t you revert it back to the original structure and instruct makemkv to operate on that directory?

I found a number of articles specifically stating that video games and software remain illegal. Unfortunately I couldn’t pinpoint the specific part of the law as they appear to br written in French and was running into hurdles with Google Translate character limits that I couldn’t be bothered to work around.

I’m not sure if it’s explicitly illegal or if music, videos, etc are explicitly exempted, or if software etc is different due to terms of service for example.

Furthermore, it’s illegal for anyone to record your IP address torrenting a work and track you down that way as it violates Swiss data protection laws.

In Switzerland, individuals are still free to download whatever files they like for their own private use (except for software and video games).

Note that uploading or seeding a copyrighted work, which was a misdemeanor under the previous law, remains illegal.

oceanofpdf also has a lot of direct downloads for ebooks and they’re very good

If it’s an official commentary you can usually find them via torrents if you download the disc rips. It’s usually not the most popular torrent for that movie as the file sizes tend to be much larger.

I’m glad it worked for you!

See my other comment regarding PiP mode (picture in picture). Another user reported that this might be a solution.

Do you have PiP turned off (picture in picture)? It might not be related but it’s worth a try

Btw dev mode is officially support by LG and is not “patched” out. Maybe you mean the unofficial root exploit?

And yes developer mode does need to be refreshed but I believe once you have a custom app sideloaded then you may not need to refresh it. At least I haven’t needed to refresh it or even have the dev mode app continue to be installed. The “refresh” is to keep the connection to your computer open which isn’t needed.

I’ll have to look into it more seriously. I’ve been considering a ChromeCast for a while but this is swaying me more to the Android TV side. I usually don’t make these purchases lightly or until I have a really strong motivation to.

I’m sure that’s perfectly fine in 99.9% of cases but I can never rid that niggling doubt in the back of my head that thinks the cheap devices (especially Chinese) are backdoored or have some deeper malware embedded on the system. It’s the unknown that kills me, as stupid as that is. At least I know what type of shit LG TV is phoning home.

I’ve seen way too many reports about how those things are filled with spyware to ever trust them.

Last time I had a pi-hole running it didn’t effect YouTube ads and was known not to as pi-hole works at the DNS layer but YouTube ads are served from the same DNS endpoint.

No problem! I’ll keep an eye on it and it appears there may be a manual method still available. It’s something to evaluate at least along with some of the other comments here. It’s something I gave up on a long time ago.

Thank you! I’m in the same situation as OP and looking at the homebrew store it even includes apps for the other things I’m missing too! (CrunchyRoll and Jellyfin).

Do you happen to know if there’s any way I can get ChromeCast like functionality from my TV? It’s my last remaining little niggle with the TV.

EDIT: unfortunately LG has patched out the ability for rootmy.tv to work

Do you think you can get Firefox on an LG TV? I don’t know of anyway this is possible.

The docs do imply this but I’ve had Jellyfin sideloaded via developer mode for a few weeks and I’ve never had to renew anything. It may have changed recently. This is on a C8.

Filebot supports subtitle downloading and programs like Plex & Jellyfin work better when files are named organised according to convention.

The utility of having a well organised media library is more useful to me than the non-issues of downloading subtitles or figuring out quality.
