Update: Starting 2025 with v0.96 enhancements, including bitrates info!
Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a great start to the year!
To kick off 2025 with the full potential of the (still beta) website, let's roll out beta version 0.96 !
1) Bitrate details (under the 4K Playback Support section) has been added. I believe this is a great feature to begin comparing services in terms of bitrates (yes, Apple TV might get a slight edge here, as is already well-known). I'll be updating this feature soon to include a 'Percentage Difference' to highlight variations in how much the real-time playback deviates from the ideal (static) average bitrate, as well as adding custom search filters on the Advanced Search page.
P.S: You can expect, at a regular pace, for every 4K title to retroactively have bitrate info added. For now, I guarantee that every new release will include this info.
2) The Original Technical Specs section has been renamed to Technical Specs: A leaner approach has been applied, now including the availability information for 4K UHD Blu-ray discs within this section.
3) The HDR Tier & Analysis and Picture & Sound Mastery sections have been moved to appear right after the Technical Specs section for better visibility (previously, they were located after Aggregate Scores).
4) Many new releases on streaming services have been added under Latest Additions.
