Seriously though, quality 4k media is hard to find outside of ... "finding it" on the internet.
That's the dumbest part of it all is that pirates seriously get the best movie/TV experience of anyone. I mean, maybe if you spend a shitton on DVD and BluRays to rip you can match that experience, but even that can be legally dubious depending on the jurisdiction
Is there a player other than the shield that can play them and be simple? Roku Ultra can't handle most 4k HQ streams .
Those rips are still coming from physical. If those go extinct, bye bye BD Rips...
Yeah as much as I can gloat about streaming a 100GB Bluray rip on Stremio, it's exactly that.
