Amateur mistake to not already have that ready to go.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 73 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The fool decided to talk to a girl instead of spending 180hrs+ downloading, compressing, formating, naming, indexing, installing, hosting and trouble shooting.

This is why China is ahead they got this figured out, they just got rid of the women.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (5 children)

What you described is very automatable. Not the getting rid of women the think with the nas and stuff

The other day I wanted to watch a movie. I had it all set up. I started streaming Jellyfin to my tv. The movie started playing at 5 frames per minute....

Turns out my pc can't handle heavy transcoding at all. It also doesn't have a gpu, so that doesn't help.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 8 points 6 days ago

Download all content in HEVC level 5.1 or below and it should play on everything without needing transcoding

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Forget transcoding, have it in a playable format.You can run that on a toaster.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Will it not play the raw movie if you are on LAN?

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 points 6 days ago

To your point, there can be a little groundwork to get cpu transcoding to work right with Jellyfin on Linux. It's a little easier on Windows.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 days ago

Doesn't need a GPU, your CPU might have a transcoder, just need to configure it Jellyfin.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

As others have said, GPU may not be required.

I use a 2019 SFF desktop (no dedicated GPU) for Jellyfin, and transcoding for my 65" TV hardly increases cpu.

If you can figure out why it's transcoding and fix that, it makes a big difference. Mine transcodes because of subtitles and there's no fixing it (the Tizen Jellyfin app is the problem - I'm just glad to have the app at all).

The key is to know what formats, aspect ratio, etc, your TV handles natively and save files in that version. Fortunately my TV handles MKV natively but Jellyfin on Samsung doesn't respect the Display Aspect Ratio flag, so I have to hard convert everything to square pixels in the proper aspect ratio (16:9,4:3, 3.5:3,etc) based on the original source. It's a little extra work but scripting ffmpeg solves it. Future devices will surely handle square pixels and forced aspect ratio fine.

Do you have (thing I want)?

Well, no

oh... it's on Netflix though...

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If it's on Netflix then there's a torrent. I'll set it to download.

So you're back at the op pic

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 days ago (5 children)

If they give the reaction as OP's image then I was wasting my time to begin with.

8 years ago, I sat with my then-girlfriend at her parents' house thinking of things we wanted to watch. We thought of like 20 shows and films, and each one we looked up was not on her parents' Netflix.

Netflix's selection has only gotten worse since then.

Nothing anyone wants is on Netflix.

Fucking a. I have everything set up nicely through streamio to just work but every time I have somebody over the fucking real debrid service goes down and I look like a real dummy.

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 7 points 6 days ago

Can I interest you in a NAS and an old laptop running debian plugged into a TV, with the Ethernet cable running to it duck-taped to the wall?

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 3 points 6 days ago

It's likely the scraper. Torrentio is getting really bad. I highly recommend adding the elfhosted comet.

There. Just saved you half an hour waiting for your download to complete.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Saved but also "half hour downloads" are a thing of the past with gigabit fiber and usenetting

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Kinda depends on what your downloading. Movies in the 2160p resolution are getting into the 10s of Gigs. And you still need a seed with comparable bandwidth serving the file you want.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

See: usenet. No seeds, just constant maximum DL speeds

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago

Its been my experience at least that once a site gets too good it gets shutdown. I got tired of that dance so I just properly setup radarr and Sonarr with Usenet.

[–] Darcranium@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Half hour? For anything with more than one Russian seeder you just wait ~60 secs for the first couple bytes then you can begin copying your Linux ISO to disk immediately.
