Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?

I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don’t notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don’t have a screen that can display...

I prefer 720, both for file/bandwidth reasons and for quality reasons. Once you start getting into higher quality, it starts looking like you’re actually there in the room with the actors, and I don’t like that. It’s unsettling. I want my TV and movies to look like TV and movies.

Sending lots of love to you and your family.

You can’t have valid HTTPS on bare IPs.

Does this just run local content, or does it have a Jellyfin app?

Media sharing and collaborative curation software?

I’m looking for an open-source program compatible with Linux that facilitates media sharing and collaborative curation among users. The ideal software would enable sharing any media content while allowing multiple users to collectively organize and manage the content. I would still like to hear about any similar software, even...

Jellyfin + Jellyseerr + *arrs + rights in Jellyfin to manage libraries

matey ,

If I’m remembering correctly, Jellyseerr is the only one that has integrated account authentication with Jellyfin (which I have using my standard LDAP for accounts).

What is the ideology behind private trackers?

Private trackers are well known for their elitist and insufferable users. I’d like to know the reasons behind their gatekeeping. Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons? I’ve heard people saying they like to have a smaller number of high quality users for long term stability. I’ve even heard...

matey ,

Also curating the content itself, not just the users. Mods/Staff can make sure that the content uploaded is actually what’s expected.

matey ,

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

matey ,

Private trackers. Better quality assurance than public trackers, free unlike usenet.

matey ,

The annoying thing about this is that automated systems (like Radarr/Sonarr) will never get notified that it’s complete, then.

matey OP ,

Alternately (and better): is there a way to get something like Jellyseerr but for music?

matey OP ,

Thank you!

matey ,

This. Plus, when I’m watching something I like, I’ll usually look up actors in it and see what else they’ve done.

matey ,

Podcast focused, please. We’re in desperate need of one.

matey ,

Luckily, we don’t live in a world where scarcity exists, just one with a resource distribution problem.

matey ,

They’re not, though. The back catalog of many is locked away, and we lost many of those altogether when Stitcher shut down.

Clearly, if I could just listen away, I would be doing that. Just as clearly, we need a way to archive and share all of this.

When a Torrent disappears from 1337x, how do you find out what happened?

Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....

IPTorrents, private tracker, not well regarded due to management but has lots of content

matey ,

One person in the torrenting connection has to have port forwarding in order for the connection to occur. When you aren’t forwarding a port, you’re downloading from / uploading to only people who are. If someone has something you want but neither of you are port forwarding, you won’t be able to connect to them.

matey ,

You can also automatically download YouTube content.

matey ,

What show are you looking for? I’ll check my trackers and see if I can get you an invite to somewhere that has it. Shoot me a DM.

matey ,

I love the speeds of Usenet, but I feel like it’s best to use it to tide you over while you work on getting into good private torrent trackers. Once you’ve got access to good private trackers, you don’t have to pay anymore. (Except with storage, so I guess it depends on what you want and what capabilities you have.)

matey ,

It’s true that you have to be careful with your downloads. Whenever I join a new private trackers, I set up downloads to start getting bonus points, but I only set up automatic downloads for freeleech content. Once I have enough buffer, I’ll open it up for all downloads.

This is after I fully fucked up my ratio on my first tracker. All my others ones look good.

The ad-aupported tier is more profitable than Standard.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

matey ,

I respect the hell out of this.

Are any trackers picking up the users from here?

matey ,

Transmission comes preinstalled on some Linux distros.

matey ,

Most people use the service for perfectly legitimate purposes.

But also, the copyright infringement is for using a picture of an actress on their website; the photographer who took the photo usually licenses it for third party use, and Plex didn’t have permission to use it.

matey ,

I… do not have that kind of storage space.

matey ,

Where provides lifetime subscriptions?

What are you supposed to do if you download the wrong torrent?

A few days ago I download a movie but the movie was in another language and I’m definitely not going to watch it because of that, I still completed the 1:1 ratio because at the end of the day I downloaded the file and used other people’s bandwidth, but what is one supposed to do in this situation?...

matey ,

I can’t ever seem to get them downloaded quickly enough to be relevant.

matey ,

How the… I’m lucky to get 1mb/s occasionally. I’m usually stuck in kb when getting something from IPT.

matey ,

I’ve tried this a few times, but then I’m stuck with something that will take two months to download and gets me basically no upload credit.
