Plz do not kill DLNA , think about adding SMB!

doublevr but the difference here is that oftentimes the lifeblood of streaming, ie actual Internet, is not fast enough, not generous enough, or sometimes just not available at all. DLNA has always allowed me to get my fap on even if Comcast goes down, and Comcast often goes down!!

doublevr I never had to use DLNA in my life.

A lot of people live in areas with subpar service. You can’t expect people to just up and move. Or start picketing their local providers to revamp the infrastructure because they need a wank. Never going to work. I think you’ll be surprised how many people you’ll be impacting here.

We’ve gone beyond simple DLNA here. Now we’re talking about download ability itself. Streaming will never be a universal ability until the planet is blanketed with geosynchronous satellites providing affordable consistent and fast service. Don’t see that happening anytime soon.

doublevr We are committed to community

Obviously false if this is the future of SLR. Or your just ignorant to the importance of the dlna feature itself. You don't know how vital dlna is to Q2 and VR users who want to keep a physical copy of media they purchased through your site. DLNA on deo is the only option to play downloaded scripts and scenes on Quest 2.. Streaming does not work for everyone in all areas. People pay and were offered to sub to download a physical copy of your scene and scripts.. Especially after this giant purge and editing of content recently why wouldn't people download videos SLR might delete or alter in the future.. When I signed up the key feature that made me buy into the premium+ was the ability to download videos and keep 3 scripts monthly as described by your own terms and fup.. You can't just alter your sign on terms willy nilly and expect happy compliance from the consumer.. I didn't make a fuss or look to pursue a case for a refund when you shadily changed your sign on terms from 50 downloads in 72 hours to 30.. But I will pursue a case for breach and be refunded in full if you follow through on this. Do not drop dlna.

doublevr bet all over Europe you get 100Mbps

This is not the case in many rural parts of the United States. I think you’ll find that you have more subscribers that do not enjoy the bandwidth speeds you mention, than actually do. Unlimited 100Mbps+ service is not as common as you might think.

Anyway, I’m now just repeating my points so I’ll let others weigh in. @doublevr, I appreciate that you stay engaged in this forum and respectfully ask that you be open to the many protests you’re going to see when others become aware of this thread and the potential direction you’re considering here.

You could just say flat out that in the future you're planning to be a streaming service only. Let me guess, you cant DL the scenes soon neither, or you'll have to buy them individually in order to do so? I'm sorry, but the tech isnt even close to being there yet, so the only thing you'll be doing is losing customers.

Also your own experience of never using dlna is not the customer research you may think it is. It's good to have visions and so on, but I think all youre doing is pissing of the existing customers with this.

Hunky-Dory Also the new UI is a massive step backwards, far to big, and it needs resolution, zoom, tilt on the main controls and popup for all other image options, and maybe an option to change the opacity of the UI to make it slighty see thru - but i won't hold my breath.

The idea is that everything could be programmed with controllers. You don't need a menu for that.

doublevr Personally, I don't have the problem because I have a gigabit connection.

But I fully understand the situation of those who are not.

I will take for example the case of my country, France, 92% of the territory is connected to the fiber, but only 42% of the households are connected.

So on all the internet in France, less than 40% of the customers use the fiber, the rest is still on simple copper adsl.

And France is far from being the only country in Europe in this case.

The comparison with cd's, floppy disks and other very old technology is not really relevant because the users of these media, even if there are still some, must represent less than 1% of people.

On the long term, yes, fiber will be the majority and the copper network will disappear, but it's not tomorrow, on the short/medium term, adsl users will still be very important.

Edit: Even in the US, according to OECD statistics from a few days ago, there is less than 20% of the population using fiber (but still slightly more fiber users than adsl).
