Ah, you were trying to transcode on a raspberry Pi. Ok I see what level of tech proficiency we're working with here.
yeah, that's where proprietary jewgle/soroku and fartTV boxes and sticks come in handy. Nothing gets on my nerves more than transcoding shit because you use some outmoded client without proper HW codec integration or even silicone. Honestly, I don't know how good kodi on xbawks is but from what
@GreenTips says, plex probably didn't know what to decode to because there's no proper client server interaction between kodi and plex. It's dlna, isn't it? It seems that whatever
@GreenTips uses now is a more "dumb" dlna server which doesn't bother to default to x264 main transcodes for unknown clients and just pipes through everything. It almost sounds as if kodi does double book keeping with the metadata on the client side, too. This also makes me question if you can, at all, side-channel external subs in such a set up. but maybe some kiwi can shed light onto some of that for the non-kodi-pilled heretics here because all that is just a wild guesstimate on my part.
The way cracks work is often an external library altering data in memory locations, or inserting instructions at runtime. That’s going to appear similar to a virus in heuristic scanners, and Microsoft have little reason to add an exception for fitgirl signed binaries, since they’re a game publisher themselves.
Just isn't true anymore. Most cracks are steam emus now, they're loaded by the game exe normally, no injection. All my games are either properly patched, without steam, or do the aforementioned and are patched to work with the emus, if that's an issue. If you need to disable data execution prevention and windows defender, something is sus. Fitgirl installers don't need admin privileges for what they do either - they're just decompressing but they even tag the game exe with the admin execution flag. The latter is highly bothersome because none of these games need to leave user space, lest the installer. It's just a bad habit of warez groups to require privilege escalation, so the speds don't complain about muh games not running because they want to install them in "Program Files". Injector cracks are mostly a thing for pro softwarez, if at all, because those themselves are basically rootkits, poking and dicking around systemwide. I would stay away from repacks or unpack them in a vm and then take the game files over and run the it with windows defender on full tilt and no elevated rights. Just my two cents.
