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.

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

Ok, Google how long does it take to learn how to program?:

"Learning to program can take anywhere from three months to six years..."

Mmmmm

I'm impressed with all the people who watch TV because everyone knows step 1 is to learn how to build a TV.

I cast Fireball!

No, I actually don't care how big the room is and no I don't care about my party members taking damage, should've taken a fire retardation potion instead of becoming a retard who's on fire.

A girl once did that, and when i drove home, i was awfully proud of whatever i did to deserve that.

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.

lemmy.world

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

Also, many CPUs have hardware transcoders these days, so I’m not sure which Jellyfin supports.

21

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.

4

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

10

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

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 save the source video as well? And does the jellyfin ecosystem have anything where I can have multiple copies of a video and it switches based on transfer conditions?

4

I don't save the original as I'm converting largely to save space anyway.

Some movies at 6+ gb, after converting to a 1gb file they look the same on a 65" TV. Since most of this is DVD source, I'm not really losing any quality (DVD is 720*480).

Even if my sources were Blu-Ray I'd still convert, but I'd target a larger screen size, just in case.

I don't think Jellyfin can choose a different source file for different devices, it just doesn't really make sense. Transcoding when needed really takes so little I don't even notice it. I've run multiple video conversions (4+) while streaming, and syncing my media folder to the NAS and never have a glitch. And my hardware is old.

You could setup a movie library using the "Shows" type, which will support multiple versions of the same movie under a single poster/name in the library. It would take a little manual work to name the movies so you'd know which was "mobile friendly".

Or you could just create 2 movie libraries, one for large screens and one for mobile. You just keep the actual files in 2 different folders, so when you create a library it only uses that folder as a source.

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

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.

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?

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

Asking for a friend, what is the point to debriding and what service do you like to use yourself? Stremio has been working for me without one for awhile

4

I use real-debrid and The point is instantly available 4K streams of all the media on the internet. And also, since it's a direct download instead of a torrent My IP can't be logged to then have my ISP annoy me about it.

1

For me it's just a bit slow and stuttering. With debrid you have more links that are super fast and usually in better resolution. I use premiumize.me and i like it. It's on the more expensive side, but i did a 2 year deal on valentine's day or something when it was heavily discounted

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

15
lemmy.world

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.

7

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.

10

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.

People are kinda weird when it comes to habits. A lot of people have seen my kodi setup that i have been using and tailoring for a decade. They like it, and when i ask them if i should show them, they are like naaaah, i wouldn't know what to watch, and i just record and skip commercials. It's not THAT expensive, and football and whatnot.

That's the actual struggle, finding the srt that matched your release all the way to the end.

The English subtitles for foreign language parts is the hardest. To be fair it's rare I see an mkv without them bundled.

2

I trained my eyes to not look at close captions all the time so I can only read foreign, not easy

I watch French or Spanish movies with english subtitle because that's what's available. My first language is German. Crazy what the brain can do.

But you're right thanks to Netflix and nf rips there is almost any language included nowadays.
