How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client
I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results. Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag. Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing, MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine. Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

Yea I tried this, I think the app versions of VLC only open single files, they didn’t port the open disc feature.

Space isn’t really an issue for me and I already have converted versions of these movies. For a select few all time favorites and discs where the full experience is part of the package (like the Criterion) I want to maintain the full bluray experience with all the special features and menus.

Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV
Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder. My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast. Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices? **EDIT** After some looking around Kodi *might* be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further. **EDIT 2** The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution

I’ve done this in the past using Gmail. You pick a domain provider and get their email plan. Most offer both services. I’ve used name cheap.

Then in your regular Gmail account you can configure the IMAP settings from the domain registrar to receive the email from that inbox. Then in Gmail find the settings where you can send as another address. This lets you use that new address in our outbound mail. From there I just auto label the incoming mail to help sort the two addresses.

Now you should have your regular Gmail and your new novelty email all in one place.
