Which thread? I’m casual, I don’t have time or energy to keep a good ratio. I seed plenty, but it seems like private trackers, for all their benefits, would also be a chore. I’ve looked into them before but never got past needing an invite.

At this point in my life I’m not concerned about the highest bitrate. I use yify for all my movies, and 1337x for TV shows, grab them in full seasons as I need them.

I’m open to new ideas, though, if it’s not too hard to get started.

This, works great. Nearly flawless

You set this up in docker? I’ve been fighting docker all day, finally trying to set up some arr stuff. I’m not convinced that docker is the right way to go.

Love mine, but the motor is a little weak

50TB!

I know many people have much more, but wow. 4k I’m guessing? Or full quality 1080 Blu-ray rips?

My TV is… Inadequate. An old 1080p LCD that won’t die. But it’s plenty big, and the backlight is even and the blacks are black enough. It’s plenty clear.

I’ve really enjoyed 4k stuff on my buddies TV. But not enough to justify ditching a perfectly good TV, and the costs associated with a proper HDR OLED, and the increase to my current storage solution (8TB) and the time to find and download everything at Max resolution. I download most my stuff at 720p, I don’t really notice the difference between the two unless I’m pixel peeping.

Plus my family uses my media server remotely, and my upload is only 14mbps, so I’d need to force transcoding, and I’m not sure my server has enough chooch to do 4 concurrent transcoded streams.

I really should just bite the bullet and start with my storage and get higher bitrate stuff now… gah… it’s a slippery slope lol, and so far I’ve been happy with my simple setup…

Sorry for the wall of text, guess I just needed to write this all out 🤷‍♂️

Yeah steam is where it’s at. I’m sure it won’t last, and they have their own problems. But for now? It really is a service problem with TV and movies.

I can easily buy and own a game from steam, play it on my deck and get updates, no muss no fuss.

Don’t forget deleting things you “bought” from right out under your nose.

Seriously, I did the same thing, early times pirating, only for my whole family. And when Netflix was good, requests for TV shows and movies went way down. I only had to pirate really obscure stuff that wasn’t easily accessible.

But now I’m back in full swing, more than ever before honestly, out of necessity. And I don’t see it slowing down.

My brothers were using limewire like 20 years ago when I was a preteen. So I started using limewire, and quickly surpassed them in skill. Jumped to TPB when they got popular. I now host the family media server, and take requests 😬

Still haven’t taken the time to set up sonarr radarr and the like. Would probably simplify my life a lot. But I’ve got a system and it works 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, I actually have it installed and I’ve been playing with it. It’s been playing smoothly.

The problem is that the authentication with my account is failing, so I can’t get my subscriptions and watch history. I’m still working on figuring it out

Thanks, yeah it’s the worst when it just buffers

I’m having the same problem with revanced right now. Buffering and pausing and often never recovering.

It’s what I want from an app like this 🤷‍♂️
