One click install that provides regional VPN, multi-index torrent searching, scheduling, auto downloading based on simple criteria, and then file and metadata management.

I do all this now with various apps, but a single package that does everything that I could install on a new machine and start downloading immediately.

This is my dream app.

A different, better protocol for sharing. Torrent is cool but files on it tend to die off, and also can’t be updated. I’m thinking something like syncthing might be the future.

whoelectroplateuntil ,

Yeah, ensuring availability over time requires dedicated infra. That’s basically what it comes down to. Torrents for the most part lack dedicated providers ensuring file availability. Web seeds exist, but the uploader or the tracker needs to have the resources to back their torrents with bandwidth and storage. Other decentralized solutions, like say IPFS, don’t solve the resources problem, because it’s not technical, so although you can pay to have content “pinned” in place on IPFS, or you can pin it yourself, that “pinning” requires a server, running off electricity, using someone else’s uplink to serve the content, all of which costs. If you don’t have your own server, and don’t pay someone else to pin it for you, it could easily fall off IPFS.

Syncthing could honestly help, I’ve thought about this a fair amount, although you’d still have the resources issues. Availability of content over syncthing or something like it would likely still be tied to popularity (how long are uploaders going to keep their syncthing folders full of specific content? how long will downloaders? In order for it to really work people would have to get in the habit of building out NAS’s and putting their libraries on syncthing forever, basically). It still has some of the same basic issues with torrent, but the dynamicness is cool for sure.

rdri ,

Yes the availability will remain an issue but at least I imagine that solving other issues could make it less serious.

More specifically, the issue (a feature too but still) with torrents is how spread they are. It’s difficult to know what is available and in what condition. There are dozens if not hundreds private trackers etc. This all makes it more likely for new torrents for the same content to be created multiple times, and overall seeding resources to be spread out across multiple versions of the same things. Some centralized public index might have helped everyone find things faster and prolong those things’ availability as the result. What such an index might need to stay damage-proof and useful is unrelated to this discussion, but I imagine it might work as some blockchain and thus may not require much in terms of resources.

I didn’t mean syncthing itself but some theoretical derivative that would have relevant features.

It would help to involve a kind of software infrastructure where users would choose how much resources (mostly disk space) they are willing to give in order to contribute to the overall availability of stuff.

Scrollone ,

eMule was better in this regard, since you shared a folder you kept sharing all your files indefinitely (provided that you kept them in that folder).

ArcaneSlime ,

So like soulseek?

devilish666 ,

Torrent search engine would be a great start, similar like qbittorrent search plugins

Liiiiike…Prowlarr and jackett?

devilish666 ,

Yup, but in web not in apps (like Torrentz) & can index all torrent from all website similar like google but for torrent

clearleaf ,

I really want IPFS to go mainstream. It solves a lot of problems with piracy and the internet in general. But people started thinking it was a blockchain thing, and I haven’t heard much about it since then. Libgen uses it but that’s the only place I’ve seen it be embraced.

einat2346 , (edited )

Would you need a VPN for that? Cause if the MPAA lawyers have to throw money at programmers to make an example, then they will.

If you do need a VPN, then i2P would be a better choice, though it suffers from network size/speed.

Edit 01:

Per lemmy.ca/u/mp3 lemmy.ca/comment/2015681

File discoverability is poor, most people will not know how to act as a node and mirror files, and there’s no builtin privacy protection in place and it’s quite easy to figure out which IP addresses are hosting something.

Would love to find old Canadian sketch comedy. CBC doesn’t release much in the way of physical media. Thankfully, most if not all of Red Green is on youtube, but the vast majority of Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne & Shuster, 22 Minutes, etc is rotting away in the CBC archives. Maybe there’s a couple episodes here and there on archive.org but there are zero torrents.

Iamdanno ,

You just reminded me of something I saw once, that I’d love to find. It was some sketch comedy show, and the sketch was “Every episode of Star Trek”. It was hysterical.

Don’t forget the hilarious house of frightenstein

Just get bazarr.

keepcarrot ,

Doesn’t quite vibe with the post, but with the title: More industrial software and operators manuals and stuff. I’m honestly having a hell of a time finding them.

Doxatek ,

I need people to submit more of the research papers that I need to be able to read to lib Gen or sci hub

hangonasecond ,

You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it’s often the easiest way to get them if you haven’t got any other way to access.

TwanHE ,

This actually works way better than people expect. Many authors are tied to a publisher but are still allowed to personally give away copies to students.

Doxatek ,

Yeah. I just don’t like trying to email 100+ authors haha. But you are right in general they do like to share most of the time

Some kind of watch list feature for Jellyfin.

Or, a self-hosted universal watch list for both Jellyfin and any platforms I may use from time-to-time. In the past I’ve resorted to compiling a massive table, but now I just have an account on JustWatch. Obviously doesn’t show me anything from Jellyfin, though.

Other than that, I feel like we need to teach others how to pirate themselves. I’m often the one that friends and family come to to get books, streaming links, software, etc. Its surprising how little people understand how torrenting actually works at a fundamental level.

charliegrahamm ,

This is possible using Trakt. Add a movie or series to your watchlist, sonarr & Radarr sync from this list and add to jellyfin.

There’s also a plugin in jellyfin itself for Trakt that can report back to say when you’ve watched it I believe.

chillbruh ,
@chillbruh@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Interesting, looking into it, it can automatically send a request to Sonarr and Radarr to download certain content, if I don’t have it on a streaming service? How does this compare to Jellyseerr?

neon_commie ,

If you already got Jellyseerr setup, Sonarr/Radarr Trakt integration offers no advantage. Trakt for Jellyfin is a good recommendation though.

cerulean_blue ,

A way to fairly pay the original content creator.

If I really enjoy a movie, series or music, I often actually want to send the actual creator some money to reward their creativity. May be just a dollar, may be ten. But I can’t.

Yamayo ,

But I can’t

You sure?

I don’t pay for movies or series of (I just don’t). But when I like some music (bands, producers, or even a record label) I end up buying some physical records or merchandising. If you don’t care about that, the most direct way is to go to Bandcamp and buy something on friday. People often want to put a price on their work, and not just “a dollar” like it’s your spare change, but there are several options and websites to do it.

With games I do the same but in Steam.

I wish anime/manga/etc studios were transparent about their costs and profit. I want to see if my favorite show has so far made enough money to afford the next season or for the team to afford their next project.

Kickstarter/Patreon should have shown creators that people will support what they like and even if they have made enough money people will continue to buy/donate to creators they love.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Fairly pay og creators … But how do I pay RARGB if they don’t exist anymore? :(

A live broadcast open p2p protocol

InformalTrifle ,

I can’t remember the name now (and struggling to find it) but there was some packaging of VLC with I think a customised libtorrent, where someone would effectively broadcast with an infohash (sha hash like in a torrent) and people could stream and share with not much latency. Hashes were shared on sites/telegram/discord etc and it seemed to work ok.

Surprised it didn’t become more popular/standardised

inura ,

I can only find links for acestream but it’s not an open protocol. If you have other suggestions I’m all ears.

InformalTrifle ,

Thanks, think that’s the one I remember. Would be great if there was an open alternative

Edit: there are open source repositories but I’m not sure if part of it is closed source? github.com/acestream?tab=repositories

crossover ,

For TMDB to end their stupid policy of setting broadcast episode order as the default. Any app that uses them for metadata to match files names ends up with wrong episodes because obviously nobody wants broadcast order.

asshole ,

Yeah I want to watch my shows in alphabetical order.

crossover ,

Haha. What I mean is that some TV series have a different episode order on DVD/bluray than what they were originally broadcast in. “Firefly” is the classic example. The TV networks broadcast them out of order and the DVD order is the “correct” one and the order in which pirate TV packs will use. But by default many tools (which use TMDB.com) have the wrong metadata for the episodes.

dangblingus ,

Other than Firefly, are there other shows that did this?

crossover ,

Some of mine that suffer from this: Cowboy Bebop anime series, early seasons of Futurama. Many kids shows like Paw Patrol.

matey ,

Better music support. Movies and TV do great through the *arrs and Jellyfin, but music is a big mess.

asshole ,

Well, unlike TV/Movies, typically ALL music is available on ALL platforms, so there isn’t a service problem. Spotify and others are still really nice to use for consumers.

InformalTrifle ,

Lidarr works ok

blackbarn ,

The app works pretty well but the database it has to use isn’t as mature/quickly updated as Tv/Movies. I believe it uses musicbrainz? Either way it’s not as standard as the others if feels like.

histic ,

agreed then I would be able to drop my last subscription being tidal

Appoxo ,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

At least we have Musicbrainz.
But a big part of that problem come from the legacy time.
Just see how many releases were made for old bands lile ACDC…

Hopefully they’ll find a sanctuary country soon and restart it.
