My big problem with scraping with Emby or Kodi or whatever is that my rate of obtaining new media is much higher than my rate of watching media, and it's a huge pain to remember and to take the time to check everything. I just know one of these days my family is going to set down to watch James Bond and it's going to be hardcore porn.

I let Sonarr handle all my TV shows but I mostly handle my movies manually. I just double check my server before I download something, then let CouchPotato handle just the processing of the movie.

Why do you have hardcore porn in your Kodi library? That's what Videodevil's for.

I don't. I kind of conflate two things in that post. Thing One: Mis-scraped stuff and me not finding it. Thing Two: Someone who wants the world to burn so uploads porn labeled as Goldeneye or Scandal or something...and me not catching it because it's a hassle to check everything.

I have never experienced this issue in probably more than a decade of downloading via Usenet. Have you actually had this happen or are you just worried about it?

No it hasn't happened, that's why I said "I just know one of these days...". I'm not even worried about it. It was just an aside jokey sort of thing. You people sure take your porn seriously.

G-Prime posted:Might be the cables, I'm definitely using old ones. That said, though, my receiver's a Denon X2000 which (according to the manual) supports 4k@30, the TV's a brand new 4k set (and I'm using the correct port), and the HTPC is running a GT 610, which claims to support 4k@30. Supporting 4k and supporting HDCP 2.2 (DRM for 4k) are two different things. HDCP 2.2 is new and if your receiver was made before 2014 (or even before last year depending on the model) it doesn't support it. The x2000 is one of those; you need the x2200 model if you want to stay in the same line. You can't update to HDCP 2.2 via software either since it's a new chip (I believe Denon offers chipset replacements for some fairly recent high end receivers if you ship them in to them - not the 2x series though) You can get 4k content without HDCP 2.2, but it's becoming increasingly rare commercially. Streaming services like Amazon and Netflix use it, as do the new BDs. You can pretty much count on it for most things. Note HDCP 2.2 (High Definition Copy Protection) is not to be confused with HDMI 2.0a, which it is paired with. The latter is the interface standard that sets out things like connectors and available bandwidth. The former is yet another attempt by the industry to close the barn door after all the horses ran away. If all this sounds like a bit of a goatfuck, it is, but that's the situation. Edit: Just remembered, your GT 630 doesn't support 2.2 either. Or HDMI 1.4, which is the bare minimum you need for it. Welcome to the land of 4k early adoption.

How should HDCP and all those ridiculous DRM have anything to matter in regards to using Kodi though? Shouldn't be different than rendering at any other resolutions except that there's a lot more to render. Or do you mean new 4K TV sets actually require HDCP to allow outputting to their native resolutions? If that's the case I don't see why you as a consumer would think that's acceptable and decide giving them your money is a good idea.

Is there any way I'm not seeing to stream from Emby Server to the Emby android app locally without paying the monthly fee? I understand paying to stream remotely but I shouldn't have to pay them so I can watch videos on the treadmill. Yes I could use Kodi but it's a bigger pain in the rear end and I couldn't get the Emby addon to install.

People have been selling the boxes on ebay, craigslist and kijiji with the addons preloaded. poo poo I saw a vendor in my local shopping mall who was selling them. This brings about more demand on the sources which were dubious to begin with and more scrutiny/takedowns. Don't rely on Kodi streaming addons for stuff, you're just going to be disappointed. The community can't even keep a friggin Youtube addon going without hassles. The only Kodi addon I've used without issue was the NFL one, everything else I just Chromecast or find some other official source.

Keito posted:How should HDCP and all those ridiculous DRM have anything to matter in regards to using Kodi though? Shouldn't be different than rendering at any other resolutions except that there's a lot more to render. The question I was responding to was in regard to Youtube, Kodi, and 4k. Short answer is you aren't doing all 3, though not all 4k Youtube content is HDCP protected as far as I know. Even with an official app source (such as one on a Roku, built in to a TV, etc.) you need to have a compliant chain, which is what I was explaining. The merits of HDCP aren't part of this conversation, they are what they are and you can choose to rage against the machine or not, but the "not giving "them" money so they finally see reason and stop doing this poo poo" route hasn't been working for, I don't know, the last 18 years or so? Hell DVD encryption is so trivial most people forget it even exists and yet it's still technically against the law in many places to break it even for your own use. It is what it is. If you want to watch 4k stuff legally that is protected, you need to abide by the rules they've laid out. Or, don't watch it, or wait for someone else to figure out how to rip it then download giant files (hope you don't have a bandwidth cap). The game is pretty rigged, nothing new there.

In a similar timeframe, I've had one incident. I'm playing on my laptop while my wife fires up some crappy romcom she had me nab. After a couple minutes she yells "Are you trying to loving tell me something!?!" Apparently someone thought it would be hilarious to upload a how to give a BJ instructional adult video instead... They were right

I've never had a porn post but getting the wrong audio track or hard subs is a bummer, and like Thermopyle I don't have the time to check through every file I grab (and I probably wouldn't do it even if I had the time). ShieldTV updated to 3.0 today. Finally let me set RGB Full and get blacks that aren't just gray.

The benefits as I understand them over Usenet are better retention, amazing quality control and pretty decent communities.

You can use both! Sometimes it's just easier to find stuff on one or another service. You can always just buy a block account for Usenet, so if you don't use it much, you're not wasting money.

Weird I had more problems getting torrents setup in an automated manner than Usenet. Files weren't copied properly while seeding due to some silly file lock. Seeding things for X period of time eating up space. Stuff like that. Usenet for me just works, I use a backup server to take care of DMCA and haven't had a failed file in a long time. Not for everything of course, I still use a few private trackers to get more niche stuff.

They have advantages for the very things you mention, but the automation ability (or rather how simple it is to automate) just isn't as good as it is with usenet. If you just want to replace getting TV shows and movies from cable in the simplest and quickest way it's hard to beat usenet. I usually fallback to torrents for things I want to get the highest quality on or for stuff that isn't just released. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Feb 24, 2016 |

As for using torrents with SR/SB/CP/Sonarr you'll probably have an easier time with it if you use hardlinks instead of moving files when post processing.

Maybe take a breather or something "Circling the drain" is probably right. When I joined SA I was this 18 year old foreveralone-in-denial. I'm almost 31 now. I'm not that guy anymore. I've got a wife, a kid, a house, a dog - and all of it's good. I've got this nice adult life. I don't know why the gently caress I keep feeling the need to come back here and breathe life into some online blowhard rear end in a top hat that doesn't do anyone any good. Maybe I'm just too used to SA being the first thing I click when I have an idle browser window. The most fun parts of the forum (to me) aren't even really a part of their DNA anymore - it's basically a well-moderated general interest forum now. There's no more meltdowns of people angry about getting banned right after spending their $10. Lowtax doesn't even give a gently caress anymore. Why the gently caress am I still here? You're right. I'm just gonna get whatever this energy is out somewhere that's already horrible like YOSPOS.
