Short samplers:
180-byou de Kimi no Mimi wo Shiawase ni Dekiru ka? (fs)
"Deji" Meets Girl (fs)
God of Ten Thousand Realms (YT)
Notes: lots of technical issues tonight:
Alan had to restart his network equipment and computer
Chrome didn’t want to share streamed video over Discord, whether from Netflix or Crunchyroll
Firefox could share video, but full screening consistently crashed the Discord shared stream
After break, we tried something for Chromes video streaming issues, turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome. That allowed video to be streamed and shared over Discord without an issue.
Incidentally, Adam had to take off just before we got to voting.
We also got through voting without anyone asking to re-sample shows, then went on to Lupin part 6 eps 11-12.
After that…
Ya Boy Kongming! (HD)
Thermae Romae Novae (Netflix)

7:45 - 8:10 Schedule-building
8:10 - 8:30 intermission
8:30 - 10:30 Blade Runner (BD)
Notes: We ran a bit late between schedule-building and break, and then had numerous technical problems trying to stream Blade Runner from David’s computer (default non-VLC player didn’t want to share audio, window manager had issues even trying to copy the file from thumb drive, video froze but audio kept playing just after Rachel walked out of Deckard’s apartment…). We ended up bailing on it at 9:30 and fell back to Samplers:

The Executioner and Her Way of Life (HD)
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost (CR)
9:45 - 10:35 Feature: One Pound Gospel (YT)
Notes: Brian was attending via Discord tonight.
We spent a few minutes accidentally watching Kaguya-sama S2 ep 1 instead of S3 ep 1. David also had to restart his computer after Kaugya-Sama. Technical issues continued with David’s computer, so after the intermission we switched to having Adam stream. David had technical issues even after that - we stopped getting video (but not audio) - David suspects it’s an issue with his window manager crashing. We restarted after David ran an OS update.
Technical issues took up enough time that we didn't get to the feature. We missed the last several minutes of The Executioner and Her Way of Life, and Crunchyroll decided to stop streaming (to any of us) partway through Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost; we should probably re-sample parts of those episodes.
Next week, as a backup Alan should bring:
To feed the projector
USB-C to HDMIT adapter
AppleTV (old or new)
To get video from Discord
IPad
Laptop

HiDive wasn't working, so we watched some samplers
Mahjong Soul Pon☆ eps 0-2 (CR)
9:35 - 10:25 Attack on Titan the Final Season part 2 78-79 (CR)
Notes: David said he’d be late - and he was, showing up right at the end of Leadale. We found that trying to play Megaton Musashi via VLC no video was shared (it’s probably using hardware acceleration…).
We couldn’t stream Lupin, at least for a while - the HIDIVE site was taking forever to load (we could see a “The site is loading” message with a percentage that increased VERY slowly, and which outright stopped at 99%). At around 9 we gave up and swapped in a sampler: RPG Real Estate (CR). After that we were able to start watching Lupin part 6 episode 15. However, we kept running into video errors so we went to a short sampler: Jantama Pong, aka Mahjong Soul Pon episodes 0-2 (CR).

Backup samplers, in case HiDive has more issues:
Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! (CR)
9:45 - 10:35 Feature: One Pound Gospel (YT)
Notes: This Saturday it was Alan’s turn to attend remotely.
We tried streaming from David’s computer again and it seemed to be working except for audio issues. He restarted Discord and then the audio worked…and the computer froze partway through an episode of Aquatope.
We switched to Arthur’s old laptop. At first we got poor audio via David’s microphone, then somewhat better audio from Arthur’s microphone - this was because we weren’t getting streamed audio. Also, Discord did a surprisingly good job of filtering audio so that it only caught voices, not music or background effects. At break we discussed this, and found out Discord wasn’t streaming audio because Arthur’s laptop had been sharing the whole screen instead of a specific application. Once it was switched to streaming from Chrome, we started getting full audio (we also got some doubled sound via David’s microphone…)
This took enough time that we couldn’t fit in all the scheduled features. We went with (1)the rest of The Executioner and Her Way of Life and (2) Aoashi before the feature.

8:45 - 9:35 Lupin III part 6 eps 15-16 (HD)
9:35 - 10:25 Attack on Titan the Final Season part 2 80-81 (CR)
Notes: Alan tried watching the stream and sharing audio via his laptop, hoping that Discord would know what audio it was emitting and would know not to transmit that as speech. It didn’t work, though Discord’s noise filter worked as usual, cutting out music and sound effects from the show, but not speech…

9:45 - 10:40 Feature: To-Y (Internet Archive)
Notes: Showings were run from David’s old laptop to start. Brian suggested adding both season of Pacific Rim the Black to next season’s voting spreadsheet.
By the time we finished our scheduled samplers we were a bit behind schedule, so we bailed on the feature for now and decided to finish sampling Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost (CR).
Brian has been catching up on Demon Slayer season 1, so we need to find where the movie is streaming or Alan needs to bring in his Blu-ray.

Fallback feature (if we're short on time): To-Y (Internet Archive)
Notes: Normally I list Claire with Arthur because she's just along with the ride and not really paying much attention to any shows, but she seemed to be into Haikara-san movie 1. The rest of the club was as well, and opted to watch movie 2 next week. I'd previously thought the show was streaming on TubiTV, but it looks like that may have only been true for a year or so; it's still on Amazon though (both parts), as well as on Shout Factory TV.

Fallback feature
if people haven't seen Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (CR) we can watch that (and push both the samplers back)
if we're short on time: To-Y (Internet Archive)
Notes: We actually watched On-Gaku: Our Sound. David's new showings computer (previously his gaming computer) had no problem streaming the BD rip. It was funny, but both David and Brian felt it was much too slow-paced - "it could have been at least 20 minutes shorter" was a comment.
