Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to selfhosted in Arrs Feedback

I stopped using Calibre a few years back since I didn’t need any of its advanced management/conversion features or e-reader integration any more so I switched to ubooquity, which is much simpler and doesnt need to rename or move files, you just point it at a folder and it makes books available via a simple web-ui and OPDS service. I dont actually even use it though, since I just pull the files to my Boox tablet when I need them.

I also run that alongside Komga which does the same thing but is better suited for comics and manga etc, I do access that via OPDS.

It is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to just download properly done rips than to try to either capture or dump the Netflix streams yourself.

I just rip any disk I get, I haven’t had to think about region locks for at least 15 years.

the VHS vs Beta format wars, not the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format wars for the young’ns out there.

In the past I’ve used Volumio, but they’ve made multiroom a paid feature now.

One way around it would be to run a chromecast or airplay client, as they both have inherent multizone support, just not as polished as a sonos-style setup with groupings and stereo mapping when using DIY hardware.

There is a complete pack of Junkyard wars / scrapheap challenge, but most of it is pretty poor quality, even the later seasons.

yea, sadly a lot of shows from those times were never released on decent formats, so all we have are poor broadcast rips, some of them from VHS, and occasionally a DVD encode made in 2003.

its just an app you run next to plex that lets you make fake TV channels with your own content. good for those “I don’t know what to watch” times where you just want to click a button and shut your brain off.

I just have a “channel” on my plex (I use DizqueTV to setup the fake TV channel) that has a random continuous playlist of Mythbusters, Top gear + all the spinoffs and classic specials, Junkyard wars, classic robot wars, etc etc…

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Has anybody seen any of The Creator rips?

Gareth Edwards just seems like a fan of ultra wide formats, Rogue One was shot in a 2.76:1 format before being cropped slightly to 2.39:1 for release.

As much as I love that a lot of movies have been coming out in taller formats, which look great at home on our 16:9 TVs, there’s something special about the wider formats, at least when you see them on a suitably large screen at a proper theatre.

Faceman2K23 , 8 months ago to piracy in Has anybody seen any of The Creator rips?

It is in a super wide format, so perhaps you are not used to seeing that because it isn’t all that common these days with a lot of big spectacle films moving back to taller formats

odysee is a weird place, lots of “creators” that were forced off youtube and other places for far out views or outright dangerous lies ended up there as they have almost no rules.

There are a lot of non-far-right weirdos that use it, but it is hard to scroll through without seeing some fringe crazy shit.

Well I guess it will show up soon.

Unless someone can share an .NZB for it?

What indexer is that? I’m not seeing it on nzbgeek or nzbplanet yet

Wow that’s a surprisingly big jump in performance for a software based AV1 decoder.
