The series would have been fine had they not been needed to understanding what is happening in the movies.
Cue me wondering where I’d missed that Elizabeth Olsen is a villain again in Dr Strange 2.
I can deal with watching a movie every few months on the off chance that some of them are entertaining popcorn guff, but I’m not sitting through endless shows where you see 10 hours of characters you don’t care about and their extended families you also won’t care about.
It’s certainly no The Mummy (Brendan and Rachel obviously, not Tom’s shitty effort that killed the whole “Dark Universe” franchise two movies in), which is about where I draw the line on popcorn guff.
Hard agree. The others just don’t give any characters enough to time to do anything other than show, do a bit of fan service, and fuck off again. Endgame is a complete clusterfuck.
The only things that have been anywhere near that good since are the Spiderman (maybe not the middle one) and Guardians of the Galaxy (James Gunn is just at home doing this stuff) movies.
I wanted the Taika Waititi and Sam Raimi films to be a lot better than they were, and they just feel too constrained by the House of Mouse for the kind of directors they are.
It’s strange because Jellyfin claims to be able to extract and convert subtitles on the fly, and even has an option to disable that, but for some reason it’s choosing not to do it. There doesn’t seem to be a definitive list of what does and doesn’t work. You just play things and hope it doesn’t trigger the transcoding dance.
Kodi’s player does work (to an extremely impressive level, including DVD rips I made years ago), but I’m really not keen on the UI, dating as it does from before Android TV was a thing. All the buttons seem configured just differently enough from everybody else that simple things like checking how long a video has left, to backing out so you can finish watching tomorrow are borderline infuriating. I did get a keybinding editor for it, to make it so pressing back stops the video, but knowing all the functions is something that takes more knowledge of it than I have. I’ll probably get it configured eventually, but it’s annoying to start with.
The Jellyfin UI on the other hand is great. I love the detail on each film, all the cast and blurb and all that. It’s just the player is Exoplayer, and every limitation in that is now Jellyfin’s limit too. There does seem to be an option to swap it, but what with? I’m not sure what Kodi uses internally. Maybe it’s their own thing.
I think they’re in ASS format, according to the subtitle selection menu, embedded in the mkv file.
Is there no way to convert that to something that is supported?
It doesn’t help that this is Across the Spider Verse, so it’s not exactly what most video codecs are expecting. The playback quality with no subs is light-years ahead of the transcoded version.
Checked on the dashboard as per the other comment.
It’s subtitles. I’m probably going to try Kodi as a client, see how that goes. Shame, because I quite like the Jellyfin client UI, it just doesn’t work with some files.
The intent is to provide workers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for paying different bills.
As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we’re looking at average per-worker dollar earn rates on a daily basis, and we’ll be making constant adjustments to ensure that workers have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via hard work.
We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Lemmy, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.
I think the most disappointing thing about it is how cheap they all are to buy. You’d expect them to be bribed in the millions, but it’s always a couple of thousand here, a couple of thousand there.
Turns out the most unrealistic thing about Clay Davis from The Wire, is how much he took.
The streaming was sort of OK, and now it’s wank. Spread across dozens of services, that don’t have enough content to justify their existence. No UI linking them all together means you have no idea if something is available or not without checking justwatch.com
