Too bad no other player for me test, this few days went to AEON, Shenheng hard to see bluray player anymore, maybe now only can buy from online. Thinking of buy 1 for spare since my 11 yrs old Sony 370 a bit cacat now.

haha... it's nice to be back here after being nearly two years absent! just checking-in to see if this forum is still alive. oh well it still does! 

just curious what are the patterns of all of us here on whether we're still actively collecting physical media like before; since nowadays becoming very2 slow aka too many streaming services (which in ways are good), shipping fees have changed at amazon to some degree post-pandemic (bad when there's no more standard shipping hence becoming more expensive with global expedited mode being the cheapest option, but good when it becomes faster in terms of delivery durations) and our ringgit being very weak especially now and soon inflation is forthcoming! 

are you guys still actively buying at amazon.... or if there are other places (websites) with better prices and as reliable as amazon's? for me, i'm in a bit of financial crisis especially after pandemic... and will only buy if prices are really worth the while like during black friday sales (not sure if this year's will still be good, last year's and the one before were meh...  ) would appreaciate anyone's thoughts on this.

btw, i still love physical media and quite jealous when i see collectors in the states go blu-rays and 4ks hunting on their respective youtube channels weekly...

owh that's interesting... what is plex? i've googled it, isn't it something like an online streaming / digital service too?    how does it work bro? you mean you uploaded your digital files from your physical medias there and you made it something like a netflix but with your own collection? i'm intrigued...

wOw, that's impressive...  are all those your collection? great! so do you upload all your digital files (movies) into plex, is that how it works? it uses your hard disk space or plex's cloud space? i wont have the knowledge or gears to do this but this is really amazing... thanks bro for sharing! 

interesting, btw can i ask, how many shows (or titles) have you uploaded onto your PLEX platform, that include series if any too...? 

ok i get it... it acts as a software to organise and play your file contents from your remote computer or hard disk, right? sorry, i am new to this... usually will just play my content direct from player or watch digitally via streaming services

Speaking of Plex, it's actually quite limited in functionality. Simple to use sure, but ultimately not feature rich enough.

Personally I'm using Media Hoarder, a new app for Windows (only at the moment). Way more powerful and ability to use your own custom player (instead of being forced to use ExoPlayer like Plex).

All info of media can be customized just like Plex.

We are still developing the app. We just launched it... yesterday lol. It's open source btw, you're free to mod it however you like.
