Lord of the Rings marathon. The directorâs cuts. She canât run.
The long setup. âBabe, you agreed to stay in sickness and in health. This is my sickness.â
Return of the King was the first and only movie Iâve seen that had an intermission. Keep in mind this was only the theatrical version!
Then go see 2001 A Space Odyssey. Wait until the IMAX release comes around.
Anon needs Jellyfin.
I prefer NGINX with autoindex. Lightweight, no JavaScript, looks like every Linux ISO mirror, filenames already have all the required info, can be quickly searched with CTRL+F, fits perfectly to my laziness.
If you want some improvement, you can use FancyIndex module.
But the files need to be in codecs supported by your browser(s). I prefer AV1+Opus in WebM container which have been supported by Firefox for a while. At this point itâs really only Safari not fully supporting AV1 because it relies on hardware decoding and Apple wants you to buy new hardware.
Sorry, your favorite media server is just files you play on a browser?
I mean, not shaming, I just had never heard of that being preferable to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin.
Yeah, I am too lazy to set up something like Jellyfin. It only makes sense for me with music, for which I use Navidrome. But again, my setup is mostly directory/filename based, so itâs really being carried with m3u playlists as opposed to proper metadata.
I mean, maybe Iâll use Jellyfin if Iâll do something in a proper way, but currently I donât see the point of it. And anyway, I can always copy the URLs to VLC, which will even accept DVD ISO files.
e.g.:
vlc --no-dvdnav-menu http/dvdnav://192.168.49.1:8080/media/ISOs/Interstellar.iso
letâs me play entire copy of a DVD, properly with menus and bonus features, just as if I used the DVD directly.
Although I donât do this anymore because of storage limitations, but Iâll likely return back to it once Iâll have a proper media server and LAN.
The biggest issue with that is it requires all of your media to be in a flat folder for search to work right.
Auto index has a mode to return results in json. With a touch of html and js you can make a page that will crawl the directory tree and build a simple searchable cache of name to path, and then you can play it from there. It ends up making a request per folder, but in realistic terms itâs not gonna be enough to actually be noticable.
You can then use something like this on a cron to convert anything your browser canât play and youâre pretty close to a minimalist media server with only static files.
The one I used to use was just a bash script so I didnât have to wrangle python modules, but I canât seem to find it.
I ended up dropping it when I bought a nas with all that stuff built in and it generally made my life easier. Worth the money if you can afford it.
Do you just remember where you are in every show (or movie that you only partway watched)? Thatâs the biggest appeal of jellyfin/plex to me, so I can go in and continue from where I left off without keeping track.
Amateur. You set this up ahead of time.
When youâre torrenting and youâre planning to watch with someone else, you decide what youâre watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr canât find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with arenât going to be in the same room, youâll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate thatâs low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it. Ideally youâd block out some time to test and troubleshoot Cytube too.
I have none of these issues, but I use Usenet sooâŚ
Honestly though if push comes to shove Stremio and RealDebrid can work wonders provided your internet is actually fast enough.
Most popular movies have enough seeders to finish in 20 minutes where I live.
But if I were in OPâs shoes, I would just turn to streaming and forego the slightly better quality.
The movie isnât the most important thing at that point.
Yeah my ex wife initially made fun of my server with my Plex media on itâŚ
Guess what she wanted after our divorce? Thatâs right Plex.
If she scoffs at your media setup sheâs wrong for you.
torrent ahead of time?
anon is a dumbfuck.
