So, first world problem but I have a 1TB limit with Xfinity and all the titles I want are only offered in some crazy high quality that I don't care for. I specify 720p or better in radarr but most of the stuff I find is 4K. Looking for these things elsewhere I can find collections at the quality I want (<2gb for a 60m file). Is my setup missing something, or is this just due to the provider having things being taken down? FWIW I have Usenetserver with a lifetime NZBgeek sub.

The OP is so old now..looks like he hasn't posted in 3 years. Should someone start a new thread with an updated OP? (I'm not volunteering myself as I'm dumb but just wanted to throw out an idea..)

I just grabbed a show and all of the episodes show "g33k" in the title of the metadata (MKV files). I get it, credit where credit is due, but this is just kinda tasteless. When I play it in VLC it shows up on the bottom in huge rear end font. I tried removing it in Explorer properties but it's not one of the metadata pieces that I can remove. What's the best way to remove them? This is for a 10 season 25 episode/season show..

I've had no problems with NZBgeek so far. I paid up for lifetime because I am lazy and don't think they're going away anytime soon. BF deals haven't shown up yet AFAIK, wait until..Black Friday?  I got a Usenetserver.com one a while back for $20/year unlimited with VPN.

I don't know much about programming, but since this is in github, couldn't you fork it to handle all your anime stuff or even submit a changelist if it's such a trivial fix? I don't think the developer is doing this for much money (donations?).

Biodome posted:Plex Pass is on sale for $90. Anyone think it’s worth it? I bought it a while back for 75 and didn't get much out of it. The only thing I used was mobile sync but that was like 2-3 times. At the least you're supporting the dev work (though with that mindset you might as well just donate money to them). The Plex pass deals were not great IMO..

I grabbed something last night and waited until the kids went to sleep to turn it on. Oh that's strange, there's English subtitles on this English film. Let me turn it off in Plex. Oh, they're hardcoded in, and in a really lovely font to boot.

Greatest Living Man posted:Some niche fetish porn has quirks like this. You should really be using trackers for that kind of stuff. It's not quite that genre.

No luck here. I have been trying to chase down some 80s/90s Hong Kong films and they are incredibly hard to find (even if they have clean English titles). A lot of other places I used to find these at are either closed or inactive.

Maybe I should ask this in some other thread, but I figure you guys may know best. When I watch things via Plex (PC server to Roku on TV with integrated speakers) the volume is ear blasting during action scenes and the like, but when the dialogue comes up it's super quiet. From what I've read the solution is to either change audio settings on my TV (I've checked and don't see anything applicable in my settings), buy an X.1 speaker system so the dialog comes out through the center channel, re-process the files with a different audio setup. Is there anything else I should try? I really hate having to change the volume every so often and it makes the movie watching experience pretty awful for me. I don't really notice it on TV shows, just movies, presumably due to file type?

Xaris posted:I got this a lot and I think you need to buy a soundbar. That said, the soundbar (Vizio SB3651) I got doesn't play well with my TCL 55-in TV in anything except forced PCM-Stereo mode or else it has a little bit of A/V desync and it drives me loving insane. I should have returned the soundbar. I don't know if it's the TV or the soundbar that's the issue though.

Decairn posted:I fixed a similar problem (lagging DTS through HDMI-ARC on TCL P605 on movies only as TV rarely/never has that) by turning off the volume leveling option. Magically a years worth of frustration went away and it's been fine since. This is a TV setting, correct? I've been trying to find it on my TV, but haven't seen anything close to it. It's a 10 year old LCD which is still kicking strong so I'm probably not going to get rid of it for a while.

Oldstench posted:I have the same issue with my PS4 Plex client. I have a 2.1 soundbar, so if I watch a movie with a 5.1 audio track Plex attempts to mix that down to stereo and does a very bad job. I've been using ffmpeg to mix the audio track down to stereo and it's so much better. Thanks! So basically I'll have to re-encode all my impacted stuff, which isn't great, but maybe I can just find a better Plex client instead. I actually really like the Roku, but man Plex just loving sucks on it.

Hey y'all I'm thinking about redoing some of my infrastructure at home. I have an HTPC for everything but wondering if there's something with an even smaller footprint? I just want something for sonarr, radarr and Plex media server. If the HTPC is the best thing for it I'll just keep that around. I'd rather not do anything too clunky.

pzy posted:I think I am doing it correctly, if the SAB wiki is accurate: I'm interpreting your screenshot the same way SlipperyNipple is. You have 5 that are set to priority 0, but that doesn't tell it which one of those 5 to use first. I don't think they will do it based on the literal order you have either, so you'll likely have a race condition here (no idea how it determines which one of those 5 it will use first, but I suspect Giganews is definitely not first). The only way to know for sure if Giganews isn't working for you is to leave it at P0, the other unlimited ones at P1, then your blocks at P2.

Stupid question time: I have NZB360 and probably will pay for it, but I am trying to figure out how to set it all up. I have SABNZBD along with Sonarr and Radarr. I usually just browse using Sonarr/Radarr and it sends my requests over to SABNZBD, so SABNZBD doesn't need to get setup with NZB360, right? Just Sonarr/Radarr? If so, do people typically have it setup so you can connect to it outside of the network, or only when you're at home? Right now I use remote desktop into the machine and search for what I want, but it's kind of a pain. I'd rather just add the thing to NZB360 on my phone, so once I get home (assuming I can go out once this Rona thing is over) it would be ready to go. From what I'm reading so far, a lot of people just use it from within their own LAN, because otherwise you need a static IP and you need to lock it down, otherwise someone could access your stuff. Am I understanding this correctly?

I don't have to re-encode poo poo and they even have a night mode which boosts whisper level sounds. Life is good again.

Anyone know a cheap (free) way to get a dynamic DNS set up? I'm using dyndns so that I can access sonarr/radarr externally from nzb360 but dyndns needs a confirmation every 30 days or they delete me. Alternative is to pay them $25 a year which IMO is highway robbery for what you get..

What pisses me off even more is I have a series grabbed from a group, and the filenames are all correct, but if you look in the metadata of the file, it plasters their group name everywhere. Sometimes I use VLC to watch stuff and VLC will then poo poo all over the first 5 seconds of playing the video. Haven't found a way to remove all of that stuff efficiently yet.

Keito posted:If you want to know how the thread would without invite discussion disallowed, then imaging the same amount of on-topic posts as now but spread out more as there'd be a 90% post increase along the lines of "gibe invite plox". That's roughly how it was. Out of curiosity how does one actually get an invite to a random place if they can't discuss it? Not saying the rule here is bad, I think it makes sense, but I genuinely have interest in joining a place that only does invites (or applications) and I don't know of any avenues today (Discord, Reddit etc..) that allow for such information exchange. For someone who doesn't have IRL friends that do this stuff, and not really being able to discuss it amongst my fake online friends, I'm kinda out of options.

Sorry if this belongs somewhere else, but this seems like a good place to ask given we're like-minded.. I use secure ports for Usenet and a seedbox in another country where things get transferred to my HTPC via SFTP. Is there any reason to get a VPN? With Black Friday coming up next month I want to keep my eyes peeled for deals just in case, but it almost seems like it might give me a headache in the long-run. I do care a bit about my privacy, but since I use Gmail/Google for a lot of stuff, they probably know tons about me already anyway. A VPN seems like it'll just muck up some of my access to websites, but I don't like the thought of being spied on.. If there's another place I should be asking this please point me to it, but would love some guidance! (If there's a VPN provider folks could recommend I'd be all over that, too..)

That's what I was curious about, but it looks like that's exactly what it is. https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/3768 I guess it's great if you like exploring on your own, but I hate wasting time on pilots and would rather wait for folks to review at least the first season of something before watching it. Besides, I can think of at least a few shows I end up loving that have terrible pilots.

I feel like every few months I have to do a cleanup on my Sonarr/Radarr/SABNZBD setup. Yesterday I spent 30m horsing around because my HTPC restart automatically for a Windows 10 update, and because it didn't login to Windows none of the startup apps got kicked off. Then I saw I couldn't login to anything and had to reset the passwords. Then I saw the port number on the machine changed, even though I told my router to reserve it for that MAC address. All in all it was a huge PITA and I didn't realize things were broken for so long..I effectively lost 1 month of downloading and afraid to kick it off again as the backlog is pretty huge (1TB bandwidth limit here). So 2 questions: 1) Is there a way for me to tell W10 to stop restarting for any kind of update? I'm pretty sure I downloaded some tools to prevent this, but for whatever reason I run into this every month or two. Things like MSFT Edge get re-installed and plastered all over the place, and after logging in it tells me to set some kind of system settings up (I honestly forget what). I get there are some security updates and such that I absolutely should install at some point, but given I don't put anything personal on this machine I don't mind waiting a few days. It just seems like W10 is force-installing stuff on my behalf. 2) Is there another way for me to track when these things die down? I presume there should be another way to be alerted that my port changed or something and SABNZBD can tell me other than having to login to the UI?

FWIW I use Usenet for most of my stuff, and once in a blue moon I have to resort to other means but I have a seedbox from Kimsufi for that. It's based somewhere in Europe and I've never had a notification for anything but to pay my bill. I think it's around $5/month and it works great. I use SFTP to transfer things home and once that happens I wipe off the server. I'm sure there are ways to automate it, but I'm not determined enough to set that up.

more falafel please posted:No, that's basically true. Usenet providers store every article in every group they crawl, going back to their maximum retention. So if a provider's maximum retention is 10 years, there should be no difference between a file that was uploaded last week and 5 years ago. Except if/when DMCA kicks in. Some providers dgaf, but still something to consider.
