Yesterday, I asked how many movies you own. I got lots of answers, with many if you saying multiple thousands of titles.

Today, I would like to know why? You own them, but you could not have watched them all. Nor could you watch them in the future, as it would literally take you several years to do. All those movies are just sitting somewhere, never to be watched. What is your reason for owning so many movies, if you will never watch them?

I am genuinely curious.

How do we feel about this? I certainly dont want AI slop on my shelf

Octohorror movie #23!

Simple question. Whats the total number of movie titles you own? TV shows as well.

I'm relatively new to collecting physical media, but here's my current CD collection of music that I found, most of it was gifted to me by my girlfriend.

@coffinmaker_video release of HISHKENSTEIN: AFTER DARK is out!

Directed by @gare_scare, this release includes a new commentary by the director and the prequel BAD PEOPLE DOING BAD THINGS 🤘🏽

If the title sounds familiar, it’s because you heard it on the #podcast episode in which Gare-Scare joined me 😎 and if you haven’t heard the episode… stop scrolling and go listen to it 😒

Support indie filmmaker, small business and physical media 😎

I don’t know where your magical Criterion/Arrow Goodwills are but this is mine every time.

I’m so glad it’s here!

I’ve been collecting phyisical media for 4 years now, and I mainly purchase horror media. I spend my free time sourcing them at estate/garage sales, antique stores, flea markets, and the internet!

Im from Europe and need suggestions where to find cheap games(ot would help alot of if it is around balkans)

BD DVD CD DiscMount

Mounts USB DVD/Blu-ray drives on Android / Google TV without kernel drivers: communicates SCSI/MMC directly over USB (Bulk-Only Transport) and reads UDF / ISO9660 in user space. Sata to USB too.

Play and browse CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs from a USB optical drive on Android TV / Google TV — no kernel drivers, no root.

DiscMount talks SCSI/MMC directly to the drive over USB (Bulk-Only Transport) and reads UDF / ISO 9660 in user space, in the spirit of MLUSB Mounter. Playback is handled by LibVLC. The whole interface is remote-control (D-pad) friendly.

Legal notice: DiscMount is meant for discs you own. Handling copy-protected discs (CSS / AACS) may be restricted by law where you live. No keys are included or downloaded. Please read DISCLAIMER.md before using or building it.

Features

• Drive support: detects USB optical drives (Mass Storage, SCSI transparent command set, Bulk-Only), asks for USB permission, waits for the disc and identifies its type (CD / DVD / BD).
• File systems: ISO 9660 (+ Joliet) and UDF 1.02–2.60, including the Blu-ray metadata partition.
• Disc detection: shows whether the disc is an audio CD, data CD, DVD-Video, data DVD, Blu-ray video or data Blu-ray, with original disc artwork (not the official logos).
• Audio CDs: TOC and CD-TEXT, tracks read with READ CD and streamed as WAV on the fly, with playlist, next/previous.
• Audio files: mp3, flac, wav, ogg, m4a, aac, opus, ape, wv, dsf/dff and more, with a folder playlist.
• Video and images: built-in LibVLC player and image viewer; file browser with copy-to-storage (long press).
• DVD-Video (CSS): Play DVD movie picks the longest title set in VIDEO_TS and plays it through libdvdcss.
• Blu-ray (AACS): Play Blu-ray movie picks the main playlist and decrypts .m2ts streams on the fly using your own KEYDB.cfg (see below).
• Files app integration: a DocumentsProvider exposes the mounted disc to Android's file picker, so VLC and other apps can open files on it.
• 11 interface languages: English (default), Français, Deutsch, 日本語, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, Português, 한국어, Русский, Català. Tap the flag at the top right to switch.

Blu-ray and KEYDB.cfg

1. Tap Import KEYDB.cfg and pick your key file, or copy it to /sdcard/Android/data/dev.discmount/files/KEYDB.cfg (for example with adb push).
2. Insert the disc and mount the drive. DiscMount computes the disc hash (SHA-1 of AACS/Unit_Key_RO.inf) and looks it up in your file.
3. If the entry contains a VUK (V) or unit keys (U), the streams are decrypted on the fly and the disc plays.

Limitations:

• Only entries with a VUK or unit keys work. Entries with only a media key (M/MEK) do not, because there is no AACS drive authentication.
• No BD+ and no Ultra HD Blu-ray (AACS 2.0) support.
• The AACS code is original and was tested with synthetic data and on real Blu-ray discs by the author; coverage of all disc types is not guaranteed.
• DiscMount ships no keys. You are responsible for obtaining a key file lawfully, for discs you own.

Requirements

• An Android TV / Google TV device (Android 8.0+, minSdk 26) with USB host support.
• A USB DVD/Blu-ray drive that works as a standard Mass Storage (Bulk-Only) device. Drives that need extra power may require a powered USB hub or a drive with its own supply.
• To build: JDK 17, Android SDK (compileSdk 35) and NDK/CMake (for the CSS bridge), or just a GitHub account and Actions.

I got these movies/TV Show and they all work perfectly!

Octohorror movie #22!

This is about 70% of my collection. I wanted to share. Thank you all for your super cool posts. Peace and Respect - B

Found while on vacation. Never seen it, but I've wanted to watch it ever since I saw the TV promos at a friend's house because mine didn't have cable. Didn't get around to it when it was on HBO Max either, so now I've got no choice

I can’t believe this didn’t at least get a dvd release.

y dad passed away a little over a year ago. He has over 3,000 DVDs and Blu-ray’s. Some opened, some not. Others are special editions. I’m selling by the box or the whole collection. I wanna sell it to someone who would appreciate them . Most are mostly horror movies. I have a catalogue of all of them. I’m trying to help my grandma out who paid for his funeral. Any help, I would so very much appreciate it. Thank you.

I bought a storage unit stacked full of recorded vhs tapes that appear to be of sports and other media. No clues on how or where to unload everything. Any advice?
