write your own codec. i call mine motion-pcx

this would double my work because currently the codec i'm looking at has an ffmpeg decoder but no encoder
but also there's no spec to the codec itself and the original company has requested nobody write an encoder for it lol

Yeah dont copy settings, since each panel will react differently based off backlight hours, manufacturing line, parts used, etc.

Audio and Vido sync is a hard thing to do if you aren't at SMPTE drop-frame framerates.

dont use 30 or 60 on a TV

ya its a plasma so it can do w/e i think plex is just loving it up but theres a lot of options in the settings so i started losing interest

  1. no vsync on any video by default
  2. incorrect TV levels displayed on any file encoded TV levels (read all of them)
  3. hardware acceleration not enabled becuase its too risky (and not lol available on mac os lol

  4. 3:2 pulldown doesn't even work lol interlaced video
  5. Doesnt do bt.1886 gamma correction so your gamma is hosed even more
  6. No color management
  7. instead of using the decoders that have been actually QA tested they use some libwhatever the gently caress they want to use which only gets tested against bad scene releases and not real files made with real licensed encoders

9. Volume can go past 100% which all it does is distort the audio and dell has been instructed to void the warranty on your speakers if they see VLC installed.

10. their audio decoders dont honor metadata flags for decoding HD audio formats so everything is too quiet and you have to use this distorted audio thing as a loving bandaid instead of implementing some level of dynamic range normalization

it also lets you copy a JPEG off an SD card and set it to be the startup screen if you wanna goatman the next guest.
