Never had an issue getting an iso from them via Mullvad.
I didn’t have much luck with Bottles in the past, but this is entirely anecdotal.
First time I’m hearing about this. Why would they drop the licensing fee?
Where does it download from?
Old smartphones, old CPUs/GPUs, some SBCs.
Depending on your jurisdiction. Big asterisk.
You’re right, I forgot about the on-the-fly transcoding abilities of Jellyfin for a moment. But still, the server should be able to handle whatever codec they choose in hardware.
Keep in mind at least your server should be able to decode whatever you choose in hardware, so AV1 might still not be a good idea depending on your current hardware and upgrade plans.
With current hardware support I would advise against using AV1 or even H.265.
I’d recommend to experiment with H.264 and low CRF values to see what quality loss and file size OP is comfortable with: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
I’ve successfully used https://instaloader.github.io/ in the past.
Consider this the exception to the rule. There’s no reason we should assume this timeline is the norm.
Their Emulator can’t even run SNES games at a stable framerate.
I’ve heard that the size difference between 720p and 1080p for HEVC/h.265 is neglectable, so you should probably stick to 1080p for better quality.
But honestly I think what you want to do is neither worth the effort nor is the result very desirable.
Why -crf 0
?
Massgrave/Massgravel is not from Microsoft.
There’s also the even older iMule.
Keep in mind you won’t have proper DRM support if you go the SBC route.
Huh, you’re right. But a few weeks ago I was definitely able to download via Fido. Maybe try that.
