(This if       > is for my old time radio collection).              I lost all my old time radio files (had some good ones -- several seasons of        the Bickersons, & lots of Laurel & Hardy's full radio shows)              > I use the Windows media player as a rule for .mp4's with Real Player       >sometimes. I also use VLC from time to time if one others can't read the file       > RP is used mostly for old radio shows.              I use KMPlayer for pretty much everything.              > My problem is getting around to watching something I might rent.       > I have movies I'll collect over the years and watch whenever I want or       > have time, etc.              Same. I can't commit myself to watching X in a Y time frame.              I'll be watching a movie in KMP, & be done for a while (real life things       arise) so I just close the player & when I open that movie file next time, it       resumes at timepoint.              > I prefer watching movies in order over the years. I'll start in say              I only insist on ewatching all in a franchise in order & usually in close       time to each (I'll spend a week watching one a day maybe, or binge for a       weekend)              YV sderies, I'll start one & watch whenever I feel like spending the time in        gtont of my computer, until I'm caught up to current (I love finding a show I        like & binging a whole series (like I did for "Small Wonder")              Lots of good stuff out there I've not found yet. Can't find any free online        sources for older(pre-1980) TV series. I want to binge watch MASH from s01e01        to the end, then the movie. . . & possibly same for "Hogan's Heroes."              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 134/100 138/146 153/105 135 141 250 757 7715 221/6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 307 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 266/512 267/67 275/100 280/464 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 3634/12       PATH: 153/757 7715 229/426           |
