I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

    Late reply…

    Thank you for all the tips!

    I’m curious: what things have you specifically heard about the Pi 5, if you don’t mind sharing?

      Sure thing!

      What I’ve heard about the Pi 5 specifically is that they dropped hardware acceleration support for video encoding. Which is kinda weird, but admittedly I’m a bit out of the Pi loop to really weigh in.

      I believe I heard this on the “Self Hosted Podcast” a while back. (Edit: oh I mentioned them already lol)

      I imagine that might hurt for someone trying to use it for streaming Jellyfin or something like that 🤔.

      I found a forum link here:
