>Download a torrent of a TV show>Try to watch it(VLC)>It fails>Try to play it in MS player shit>>>Oh found your code ready to download anon>OK>>>>Only $1 for the HEVC codec in the Microsoft store!Yikes. I have so many questions! Why would anyone encode that show to use that shit?
>>109659064You know what is the most crazy part? I can swear that I watched 1 episode of the show no problem before in the same torrent!
>>109659064if its failing in vlc it will fail with the $1 codec, the data is corrupted.
>>109659064The dumbfrogs get dumber by the day.
>>109659077>the data is corrupted.OK. Data corruption.OK.However why the fuck is MS now extorting me for money in its store?>the data is corrupted.Then file name has HEVC in it and MS is showing a extortion window for HEVC. Explain that!
>>109659082bro just redownload the show and play it in vlc. or watch it on one of those streaming sites.

>>109659106>here you go retardUmmm.>This product is unavailable in your market.HUH?How deep does the rabbit hole go?>>109659078>dumbfrogsI am not a frog poster however the picture perfectly encapsulates me and my feelings right now. I am not angry only puzzled. Worse case scenario I download another release of the same show.
>>109659158you have to sign into the microsoft store to install it
>>109659164>you have to sign intoNO.I will literally never do that.
>>109659064Mpv just werks
>>109659172>just werksSee: > I am not angry only puzzled. Worse case scenario I download another release of the same show.>just werksWhat you should have gotten from this is >pepe.jpg>Microsoft is now forcing you to pay for codecs in their store?
>>109659190they're not, they provide it for free. theres a ton of reasons to hate microsoft, this is not one of them.
>>109659077>data is corruptedI am doing a integrity check right now. If it is data corruption then I must know that (Is my HDD bad???)However whats up with the Windows store trying to force you to buy codecs? Why did no one make more of a controversy over this???Is this why GabeN lost his shit and did go>AAA Making a steam machine after 15 years of us killing the lats one>AAAAAAAAAAAA Making a SteamOS after 15 years of us killing the last steam OS!>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Linux is the future!>We are fixing proton after 15 years of abandoning it>AAAA Linux is the future you must switch now!Because the fat fuck did see(AGAIN) the writing on the wall?>Buy your codecs in the windows store>Buy your games in the windows store
>>109659064HEVC is a patented codec so they need to make back the money they paid to license it. Luckily freeshitters like VLC and ffmpeg/mpv don't suffer from this.
>>109659218>they're not, they provide it for freeThis is not what the popup in my OS says fagot!Pro Tip: 4,49zł is about $1Is the windows marketing working overtime now?
>>109659236its probably the company who owns the media you are downloading uploading corrupted data you retarded frognigger
>>109659244>HEVC is aThere are so many layers to all of this.> a patented codec Why did the people who illegally pirated it decide to use it then?>they paid to license itBack in the windows XP days you zoomeroid windows did come with all the codecs you ever need and the price was in the windows license for your PC. This was true for lots of things also Macromedia Flash license and the audio codecs like MP3 license and Java License and things like that no need to pay extra for that in the windows store.
>>109659259>uploadingLike I did say even if you fix that windows is still giving me popups to buy a codec!
>>109659249have you tried to google it? I find that googling it helps, like if you can't find the codec for free, you deserve to be fleeced for $1.
>>109659269imagine not knowing how torrents work, you really are stupid aren't you? please never use Linux.
>>109659271>have you tried to google itNo I just post it on 4chan.Then I check the data integrity. >like if you can't find the codec OK chatGPT you got noticed.>find the codec The subject is windows making popups for in app purchases(windows itself is an app) in windows!
>>109659285is $1 a lot of money for you?
>>109659294I will not pay for it out of principle. Especially to watch pirated content.>is $1 a lot of money for you?Is signing into windows spyware to be tracked worth anything to you? Slave?
thank god I am an american, the american version of windows has the codecs built in. this is your government's fault for forcing N versions of Windows down your throats.
https://archive.org/details/win-11-23h2use a better version of windows that comes with the proper codecs
>>109659313Try opening some file encoded in HEVC. In the windows player app!
>>109659313>>109659321>>109659326OP here I did a file check and it all works now. Probably data corruption. Windows is still shilling codecs in its store!
>>109659326I use Linux with vlc and I never have these issues. I am just trying to do good and help a retard like you out.>>109659333The HEVC licensing structure is notoriously one of the most fragmented and complex in the history of tech standards. Because HEVC (H.265) patents are owned by dozens of different companies, there is no single entity to pay. Instead, hardware manufacturers and software vendors must navigate multiple competing patent pools, plus independent patent holders.This complex web of royalties is the exact reason why Microsoft charges $0.99 for the HEVC Video Extension on Windows, and why some hardware brands occasionally disable HEVC in their budgets to save money. This has nothing to do with Microsoft actually. They are providing you a legal route to use it for countries that enforce licensing laws like Germany.
>>109659263>Why did the people who illegally pirated it decide to use it then?Because it has very good compression ratios and is free to encode with ffmpeg.>Back in the windows XP days you zoomeroidLmao fuck off nigger. Flash, MP3, and Java were never this patent-encumbered, at best it was a nominal licensing fee. HEVC is a different beast.
>>109659244Why do you think they're both french? French law doesn't recognize software patents, they can't be sued
>>109659364>were never this patent-encumbered,LOL! Zoomer! LOL! I remember needing to flip a >YES I am a researcherToggle box in linux mint to get codecs for MP3 and some video!I remember needing a separate file(that I got in another way from the internet) that I needed to place in the audacity folder(or was it to point to it?) in windows because Audacity did not have the license to save a MP3!>it has very good compressionI laugh at you in OGG VOrbins from the OGG VS MP3 days!
>>109659064OP here it was literally file corruption. Checking rest of the files.PS: Windows is still shit for forcing a paywall popup shit from their store!
>>109659263>Back in the windows XP days you zoomeroid windows did come with all the codecs you ever needlmao no you retarded larper we downloaded CCCP/K-lite precisely because Windows was missing so much shit lmao
>>109659471>we downloaded CCCP/K-lite preciselyYES I know and still you needed to do shit to get MP3 to work on linux and in audacity.Back of zilenial!
>>109659064>Why would anyone encode that show to use that shit?HEVC is the best choice in 2026. It's supported by almost every device, including TVs, while being better quality at the same size than AVC (H264).>>109659082>However why the fuck is MS now extorting me for money in its store?Because they think you're a retarded normalfag and they're probably right.
>>109659064>Download a torrent of a TV show>Try to watch it(VLC)>It failsdidnt happen
>>109659263>Back in the windows XP days you zoomeroid windows did come with all the codecs you ever needlmao what nonsense, codec packs were a famous RAT vector in those times
