Had trouble getting the foreign audio subtitles to come out on a movie using handbrake. What I finally got working was to do the foreign audio scan, burn in. It worked with forced on and off, but not with default checked.
The handbrake subtitle documentation hasn't changed in years, so it's versions behind.
If the chance of a snag is 50% or greater, it will snag 100% of the time.
Everyone is making a big deal about Google Currents disappearing. But Google Newsstand has an RSS reader built in, AND it's primed to take over your reader feeds. Enable them and you're ready to go.
I can't believe all the negative comments about CM these days. Especially CM11. Sure, sure not every device is supported. That's why I dropped LG and HTC phones to go with a Nexus 4. I'm looking forward to flashing the M2 release when I get a chance.
But come on, almost every custom ROM is based at least partly on CM!
And the complaints about spyware and CM being in Google's pocket. Well, yup, Android is Google's baby. So it makes sense that the developers who make the best, most stable custom ROM out there (in my opinion) would have a relationship with Google.
CM is hands down, bar none, the best custom ROM. Everything works. I don't know how many other rooms I've tried on multiple phones, and it's always the same story: sms doesn't work, 3D doesn't work, texts don't receive, wifi doesn't work, 4G doesn't work, on and on. Sure, maybe it's not bleeding edge, but most enhancements are cosmetic right now anyway. I need my phone to work! Every time! That's why the original Windows smartphones were so locked down. It's for safety and reliability.
Spyware? Please. There is only the illusion of security on electronic systems. If you want security, drop off the grid. Besides, why does anyone put anything on the Internet if not to have it looked at?

Edit 01-15-2014: After rebuilding my htpc a couple times it's become clear that these settings are arbitrary at best. I just have to trial and error the settings every time.
Windows media center has cryptic terms for how recordings are set.
1. To record three episodes of a show, recording every time, keeping the most recently aired shows:
Show type: New & rerun
Channels: any
Airtime: Anytime
Keep: Until space needed
Keep up to: 3 recordings
Stop: 3 minutes after, when possible
2. To record three episodes of a show, only recording when one has been deleted. So in effect, there will always be 3 shows available, but some might be old. This is good for something like Wheel of Fortune that it's nice to have a couple, but you don't want the PC starting up all the time to record new episodes. The "Latest recordings" setting seems opposite of what you want, but that's the setting to keep older shows and not have WMC discard a show to record a new one.
Show type: New
Channels: any
Airtime: Anytime
Keep: Latest recordings
Keep up to: 3 recordings
Stop: 3 minutes after, when possible
3. To keep as many as possible, and not discard any shows to record new ones (for your favorite show).
Show type: New & rerun
Channels: any
Airtime: Anytime
Keep: Until I delete
Keep up to: As many as possible
Stop: 3 minutes after, when possible
