Re: Some MKVs won't playback, but others will - same settings

Since all play fine on your laptop - same experience on my side, I’ve never had a playback issue - it sounds as if your Android TV and the players there (VLC for one) are your problem, even if some MKVs do play correctly. I’m guessing the artifacts you’re seeing may look something like the screensho...

Re: Twin Peaks: From Z to A Bonus Disc (UHD Versions of Original Pilot and Part 8 of Season 3) - Cannot be decrypted

Wow, somehow I missed the fact that this came with a UHD. Already own the original series though, and season 3 lost me around halfway through. Hopefully they’ll release just the UHD separately at some point, I’d buy it.

Re: Ghost in the Shell (1995) (US)

i noticed in 800 the subtitles at the beginning of the movie are on the bottom. For 801 the subtitles are at the top. When i put my disk in my UHD player the subs were at the bottom. So i'm going with 800. Finally got this. Starting first with the Blu-ray disc from the US UHD set... I'm assuming th...

Re: Baffling home movie DVDs.

And before anyone asks, yes this is an internal SATA based bluray drive ... Likely left over from the burning stage when they wrote these discs years ago. 1) On the PC side, you may want to try a computer DVD drive rather than a Blu-ray drive. 2) Did you try to play them yourself in your own DVD or...

Re: The New Statesman [2006] complete series

Not sure what the Plex issue would be.

I’d recommend not using VLC (third question, and check out the two distortion links in that question as well).

If you didn’t see any errors during ripping, it shouldn’t be a rip issue.

I’ve seen this as well but I forget which movies I noticed it on. Never had any trouble with the result though.

Re: Episode order on disc

Keep in mind that due to MakeMKV trying to find the main title for movies, it may also end up reshuffling the episodes on a TV disc and MakeMKV’s listed order can be different than the numerical playlist authoring order, which may be correct. Which is why I append {_s:SN} for Source ID to the end of...

Re: Running OUT of SPACE! (UHD’s are MONSTERS)

I'm up to 80 TB for my collection so far :shock: - not counting encodes that I store separately - but with only one 4 TB for UHDs, since my primary viewing is currently an older projector, I've limited my UHD buying to favorites that are native 4K and have minimal issues for now (it's quite a rabbit...

Re: Source Code 'fake playlist'

A year later, and I finally got around to this lol... I'm often on a hunt to find the best release of a film, but in my early buying days I was more often just picking up the CA releases. So here are my latest findings on eOne's CA release of Source Code, and please forgive the length of this! I mig...

Re: Help with subtitles

As shown on this page in the second screenshot (the screenshot is a bit old, but everything is still basically the same) - http://makemkv.com/onlinehelp/ - any existing subtitles will be shown and selectable when you expand each individual title. Selected subtitle tracks will be written to the rippe...

I did simply right click on the outside node and select 'unselect all' but that did not seem to do the trick.
Try right clicking in the white background area surrounding the titles, not directly on an individual title.

Was it daft to assume that they would use the same hash keys for theatrical and extended discs... or even for the whole set... or is every disc in set unique.
Yes, every disc has a unique key and sometimes for the same release, there will be multiple versions of the discs with different keys.
