That makes sense, I couldn't find it in the app when I first read about it, thanks again!

I read about that somewhere, I'll check it out, thanks! Can I access the homebrew character on PC as well?

According to Hook (1991) his full name is Captain James Hook, so I always assumed that was just his surname and he decided to use a hood on the stump because of that. He also had several different attachments for his stump, which was quite innovative.

Yup, private trackers and better, but that's the norm.

Cool, ya I'm not sure which format is the best, but I believe almost anything will play x264. If you end up using a device that doesn't support certain formats you're using, you'll need a GPU to perform the transcoding or it will be hella slow.

Any issues yet with not being able to play certain types of media or are you sticking to something like x264 to avoid transcoding?

I used Mullvad without port forwarding before they got rid of it and it worked fine for me. That was over 400↓10↑ coax and now I port forward with ProtonVPN over fiber 500↓↑ and the speeds are better, but you're still bottlenecked by the speed of your peers so it not that big of a deal imo

Check out r/NewMaxx by u/NewMaxx on Reddit. That subreddit is focused on SSD news and a great source for it, but the articles linked on the sub are generally good sites for tech news in general.

JellyFin is a great media streaming app (fork of Plex), and has an android TV app. Also for anime there's aniyomi.

UPDATE: I spoke with the tech from Nielsen and their equipment won't work properly if I change the wifi on any of my TVs or streaming devices, so they've offered to install their older setup which is just a device connected to the TVs that picks up the audio codes in any media playing on the device. No network access, they just won't find any code in my movies/TV shows.

If anyone sees any possible issues with this setup let me know, cheers!

Thanks for the input! I believe I may already be running a vlan via the second router connected to my server, I called them APs in the post, but I'll explain the setup in more detail here.

I have two routers(both Gl.iNet), one is remote and there is a WireGuard Server running on it. This router goes out directly to the WAN. Connected physically to that router is my server which is where I both torrent and store my media. I use a VPN on the server with RDP and JellyFin whitelisted so I can connect remotely. The second router is connected to my ISPs router and is running as a WireGuard client to that WireGuard server. Unfortunately I cannot both run the WG VPN and another VPN on the router(s) at the same time. When I want to connect to my server via RDP I switch the wifi on my PC from the ISPs router to my WG client router, or when I want to watch a movie I switch my TV's wifi to the WireGuard router.

I believe Nielsen would be able to see what I was streaming over the WireGuard tunnel, but if I wasn't torrenting on the server while streaming, they wouldn't be able to see anything potentially illegal, only that the media is not coming from a legit source.

Let me know what you think about my setup, one issue I noted is that Nielsen might complain when I switch the wifi networks on my TV.
