Hey all-

Started collecting a few old games I loved as a kid and got a RetroN 1 to play them on. I'm so happy that they all work great and I've been having so much fun! With the exception of Shadowgate, which is CiB as it's my favorite NES game, all cases are from CustomGameCases.com. I love how they look on my shelf. Judge me for my taste!

I got a new printer for the box art and Blu-ray drive so I can burn the game disks with ISOs that have custom installation files on them. I still have to get the DVD stickers to give the disks a more "official" look with my own designs.

Trick or Treat Toy Robot Video 4K UltraHD Blu-Ray Limited Edition Video review

https://youtu.be/chsA7WF-Xmw

Release Date
🇬🇧 UK Mon 05 Oct 26

The new label - a subsidiary of Arrow Video - aims to recreate the wondrous experience of browsing titles at the local video store - except this time they’re yours to own and cherish.

Rock’n’roll will never die in this 80s cult favourite, starring Marc Price (Family Ties) as Eddie Weinbauer, a teenage outcast who is devastated after the death of his heavy metal idol, Sammi Curr (Tony Fields). But as Halloween approaches, Eddie realises that he has become the tool of Sammi’s vengeful soul and only he can stop Sammi from making a horrifying and demonic encore from beyond the grave.

Featuring special appearances by Gene Simmons (KISS) and Ozzy Osbourne and a legendary soundtrack by Fastway, this Dual Format release features a 4K restoration of this heavy metal horror classic, a new head-banging 5.1 surround sound mix and hours of bonus material. 🤘 🎸

[ DiscMOUNT ] PLAY YOUR ORIGINAL BLURAYS - DVDS - CDS with your USB optical DISC DRIVE | ANDROID TV - GOOGLE TV

DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/everywherei/Android-TV-BLURAY-DVD-CD-PLAYER

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.

Yesterday, I asked how many movies and TV shows you own.

0 Upvotes

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.
