| not sure if posted this in right topic section.. How do You View your shared content ? if im working on something on my pc (converting/encoding stuff) i will just watch them off that, its plugged into a main tv if nothing is on the to do list for pc i will just play them off memory stick/External HDD in tv usb port. TVs i have will play anything codec wise plug into it even on the built in media player i mainly do it for stuff thats not available in my country or if its pre release i refuse to use hacked firesticks ect to stream. i dont agree with people making any money from them.. when people tell me paid a yearly subscription for a pirate streaming app im like YOU F**KING MAD.. plus i cant stand adds i do give lil back i will buy some of my favourite DVD/BluRay (New) so have it physically & i pay for Disney+ & Amazon video.. i have netflix but i use friends code but i wouldnt pay for that if had to its quantity over quality im just curious on how everyone watches Torrent Downloads maybe your ways better :) | |

| I watch all my video torrents with an Intel NUC Micro PC (uses 5 watts) which is plugged into 15m HDMI cable which runs a 55" TV screen. It has a 7 port usb3.0 external hub with it own power supply then the 2 big hard drives 16TB+10TB have their own power supply which are always running; both of which are plugged in to the usb 3.0 hub . This PC to TV it mostly always connected to VPN downloading/sharing/seeding and whilst it doing that i can watch content or play low graphic demanding offline games. The NUC PC also has intel quick synch if i need to do some fast handbrake encoding. I got a regular desktop PC also, but is used for demanding online 3D games, I no longer use that PC for torrents as the NUC PC is cheaper to run (tho not as cheap as i`d have liked as the usb 3.0 hub and external drives use way more electric than the NUC Micro PC)   Last edited by realityshow on 2022-07-24 06:18:05 | |

| I'm pretty much the same as B0NE ...if i'm workin on something then you can't help but watch it...over and over again if it's a cam lolOnce completed, then it goes onto a stick and into the back of the tv or the dvd player to watch properly. I don't do the streaming services like Amagoon, Nutflux or Dismally as their content is mostly woke or just plain carp    Last edited by B4ND1T69 on 2022-07-24 09:03:48 | |

| I download it on my phone and cast it to the TV via chromecast (3rd gen) using either local cast or xplayer. I first connected the phone to the TV but that got left out in android 9 or 10. Then used a SD card and reader to watch but with a chromecast it is way easier. Edit... Moving topic to chitchat. Last edited by Mafketel on 2022-07-24 09:12:52 | |

| I usually stream from my lappy straight to TV via home network, but if the wife is watching something then I'll just watch on lappy, I also use the stick into TV option, but that's mainly for the wifes stuff as she won't touch my lappy. I also have several tablets that I will load content onto for viewing elsewhere. I don't use hacked firesticks etc either. I have a paid for by me NF account, but that's for the cartoon content for my grandsons, also have Amazon Prime which I use a friends log in details to watch. I used to watch all my F1 stuff via an online stream on lappy, but now just I wait for smgill to upload and watch at my leisure. I also own all my favourites on blu-ray which is viewed via a PS4. | |

| Micro PC is a good idea because it would be quiet compared to a tower that i have.. i have an app called allcast to stream from my phone to the tv (modded addfree version) use that if ive only got latest ep of somthing short to watch like family guy.. as for laptops i used to use them years ago but they are no good being on for long periods of time for torrenting encoding ect i was buying them from new went through like 3-4 of them, when had hardware issues it would cost more than they was worth to repair so had to buy new ones.. so switched over to a tower stopped having issues, im on my 2nd one but because it was old and needed upgrading, i spent alot of money on my 2nd one so its powerful and will not need to upgrade for a long time (had it built).. i do now have a cromebook but never use it | |

| Download files using my laptop or PC, transfer it to my external SSD or pendrive (i keep my system drives mostly media free), then plug it to my 43 Inch Android smart TV and just enjoy it, i use MX player mostly but for files with EAC3 audio use vlc. | |

| Wow that is alot of laptops! i`d be curious to know which brands they were. I`ve had a Toshiba laptop which i hated; gave so many problems vowed never to buy anything Toshiba again..lol. My friend always complains about his HP laptop and he does`nt use it for anything too taxing but always overheats. I remember i once bought a HP wireless keyboard with intergrated mousepad which died within the year, it was then i vowed never to buy anything HP either. I got a Dell tablet which tends to overheat on occasion but its not too bad. seems better quality than the others and it even survived a 1 metre accidental drop, i was thinking it was gonna be toast but was unscathed, sceen intact still works fine.
 This is what my Micro PC looks like, tho not as tidy as it has a bunch of cables coming out of it. It has Intel 600UHD graphics which plays some low demanding games,plays 4k (tho i`ve never tested, dont own 4k tv) and plays h265. PC quad core temperatures report around 50 celcius, (122 fahrenheit) it has an aluminium type case tends to get very hot to the touch. Runs pretty quiet even tho has a tiny fan which makes a little whirrnoise from time to time. Not sure how reliable it will be. It does hang from time time tho reckon it caused by Win10 instabilities. I run all the hardware tests everything seems fine. If i ran Linux on it i`m betting will be smoother tho for now i prefer windows to play my steam library of point and click adventure game whilst torrenting. All of which i do from the comfort of my couch, got rid of traditional desk setup many moons ago and do everything on my big TV tho it only 1080p Last edited by realityshow on 2022-07-25 05:21:59 | |

| my 1st one only lasted couple months it kept switching iself off managed to use 12 months warranty card with that one (cant remember brand) next one lasted couple of years but then the backlight went on the screen, when 1st open up it would flicker for few seconds and stay on or go off but would mostly go off but if stayed on it would until close again had to keep opening n closing it like 20+ hoping it come on ffs lol work around in the end was plug it into tv but then port broke (cant remember brand) 3rd had few years only the DVD RW Drive burnt out that was down to burning to many films on it. used a usb dvd drive for awhile until time come needed an upgrade so that was a good one (compaq) and last one i had again few years charge port went on it because to much moving it around why plugged in (Samsung) i know i never went with same brands more than once Everything is connected on them so not like can do on pc and just slot out select parts for like 20-40 £/$ laptops need soldering ect f that switched to intel i5 quad core tower 16GB with HDD for few years no issues Latest tower is AMD Ryzen 7 2700x 8 core 32GB RAM Gtx graphics card with SSD Memory. that cpu was the best at the time of me buying it. also the GPU I have now allows HEVC to be encoded via the Graphics card it can encode lots faster than it does via CPU it comes in handy no plans on any new upgrades anytime soon | |

| I watch on my telly, i have a connected digital box which i plug in a usb pendrive . Only problem is.... my digital box will only play mp4 content . So if i cant get the movie or tv show in mp4 i have to convert it by using a small program called rebox I don't subscribe to anything like netflix becos i simply cant afford too. That is why i'm a pirate Thanks to all the uploaders xox | |

| @aviana... Only problem is.... my digital box will only play mp4 content . some will play by just renamimg the .mkv into .mp4 but will depend on what codecs the files have also you can get the VLC app on more or less any app store so try that if having playback issues Last edited by B0NE on 2022-07-25 17:37:10 | |

| xmedia recode (freeware) can change it from mkv to mp4 without converting the video or audio by copying the streams a quick but maybe less compatible method would be using mvktoolnix and changing the output file to .mp4 instead of .mkv, but by default, this program will slightly compress the video & audio if not set to "no extra compression"

| rookie mistake using them crap converters go for open source ones (Free) heres a couple https://handbrake.fr/ http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ there is many many more it all depends on the settings you use. faster encoding can also result in poor quality even if its at the targeted video size i normally try different settings with 1 min samples to find the best results for the final full video outcome | |
