Also - hard drives, floppy disks, etc have always referred to their size in base 1000 numbers
That is not true. For a long time everything (computer related) was in the base 2 variants. Then the HD manufacturers changed so their drives would appear larger than they actually were (according to everyone's notions of what kn/mb/gb meant). It was a marketing shrinkflation stunt.
How does switching the codec help with downloading subtitles from the web?
Is using the Android TV app considered "using it wrong"? Because that doesn't support downloading subtitles.
But not on the Android TV app.
But thanks anyway, I actually didn't know that downloading subtitles was supported on other platforms. This should att least allow me to download subtitles via the phone. A bit more cumbersome than having it directly in the app as for Kodi though.
I'm also tired of Kodi but I constantly come back to it. The one thing that Kodi does better than all the rest is the handling of subtitles. I try to use Jellyfin instead but I constantly have to switch back to Kodi because there are no ways (from within the app) to find and download new subtitles.
Do we really want Facebook users just for the growth? Quality beats quantity.
Don't give them any ideas!
