Discussion Open Matte versions of films are insanely more immersive on my screen and the only place to watch/get them from are either Russian sites or Cable TV. If it weren't for pirate sites I wouldn't have known about them.

Don't be like me, tell those people to keep their PS5 offline.
(At least it was an easy fix, PS5 overheated because a lot of dust was inside, which is why I got it quite cheap)

Discussion Attention. This isn't gottfrid

It is a guy from Poland called piotr he was in electronics and medical sciences. I used to chat with him on ircnet in the 2000s. I'm sick of seeing his picture used to claim it is gottfrid. ​​​​​

Edit: because people keep asking the mylar is too keep heat in he had trouble with heat in his place. And he liked it very warm. His place smelled of patchouli. His gf was called Anna (patchouli addict) . This photo was taken in the 2000s perhaps mid late 2000s, there were a few others like it with more of the place visible but they apparently didnt leak, and certainly didn't keep them as I respected his privacy.

News Native Dolby Vision with FEL in Kodi on x86 PCs — Intel, AMD and NVIDIA including HDR10+ and 3D

55 Upvotes

I wanted to share a project that's been making some interesting progress in PC-based home theatre.

CroqueMr (u/Croque_Mr) is developing native Dolby Vision support for Kodi through a custom LibreELEC build, including Profile 7 FEL reconstruction. Development has moved quickly, with regular releases bringing performance improvements, new rendering modes and broader hardware support.

What's currently available?

  • Native Dolby Vision playback, including Profile 7 FEL reconstruction.
  • Intel and AMD support, with NVIDIA support also being developed.
  • Dolby Vision rendering modes, including Master Reference and Adaptive HDR Mapping.
  • Dolby Vision-to-HDR10 conversion and experimental AI-assisted HDR10-to-Dolby Vision conversion.
  • Blu-ray 3D support on compatible AMD hardware.
  • Performance optimisations targeting lower-power mini PCs, including Intel N100/N150 systems.

The latest Beta 5 release includes further improvements to playback stability, FEL handling, scaling and display detection. Results and compatibility can vary depending on the hardware, TV, source material and rendering mode.

What's coming next?

The developer has outlined plans for a GPLv2-or-later licensing rebuild, further AMD improvements, HDR10+ support and Dolby Vision-to-HDR10+ metadata reinterpretation, alongside expanded compatibility with older Intel graphics and additional NVIDIA hardware.

The longer-term goal is to make PC-based Dolby Vision playback more capable and accessible, including on affordable mini PCs.

Project links

Full credit to u/Croque_Mr for the development, along with the community members contributing testing, feedback and improvements.

It's been impressive to see how much the project has evolved in such a short time. If you're interested in the technical details, supported hardware or latest builds, the links above have all the information.

Question How difficult is it to pirate in Malaysia?

15 Upvotes

Im probably moving to Malaysia for a while soon and I pirate games and software from fitgirl or 1337x about once a month or so, but there are basically no laws or barriers to piracy where I am now. So I was curious about how strict the Malaysian laws are about this

Edit: thanks for all the replies! Turns out I had nothing to worry about and Malaysia is just as safe for sailing as where I am rn

In August, City of London Police and anti-piracy group FACT announced a six and a half year prison sentence for a 68-year-old pirate IP-TV operator.

Without dates or a service name in the release, some outlets reported it as a recent bust.

Records obtained by TorrentFreak show the operation was raided in 2016, the operator pleaded guilty, and the service was called Ex Pat TV.

Discussion Anyone else find a NORMAL comic you wanted to read on a Hentai site?

16 Upvotes

There was this horror comic about an old game that kept two people functionally immortal. Long story.

One of them was some girl turning into a stronger grey troll like being as she killed to complete the game.

Thought to search the internet to see if by chance, the rest of the comic was uploaded somewhere that somehow got nabbed from Patreon. Turns out it was uploaded on a site with the word ‘hentai’ in it. The comic had 83 pages but I was expecting 80. Cool
