Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that’s ridiculous.

    VLC on a Linux laptop. You think my Blu-ray player has the ability to take screenshots?

      You never heard of a capture card?

      Can I introduce you to my friend MakeMKV?

      Disconnect from the internet while watching. Close it when you finished. Restart your computer, then connect to the internet and you should be fine I think

        I’m all good. I really wasn’t asking for tech support. Just sharing something with the community. Don’t worry, Sony didn’t get my data.

        Thanks for the helpful thoughts though.

        Not out of the box, AFAIK, but there is a plugin. I never got it to work though, because you also need some up-to-date certification file.
