>> I have to rip media from bluray because the streaming version only has audio or subtitles available in the local language
This. It's a huge problem for us expatriates living outside of their native countries - I want my son to be bilangual and as part of that I try to at least play cartoons in my native tongue - but Disney/Netflix/Prime usually only have the local language option, even though as soon as we are physically in my home country magically the same shows have dubs in local language. So all of these corporations have these options available, but decide not to show them for whatever reason. So more often than not I have to ask family to send us actual DVDs/Blurays of kids shows so we can watch them in the language we want to watch them in.
And no, VPN doesn't always help - it's flaky, it's frustrating in its stability, one day it works the next day it doesn't, it's not the thing I want to mess with nearly every other day just to play some cartoons.
