I built a new desktop so the old one is becoming the new fileserver and now I've got a choice: either keep using Windows 10 or switch to something else. I mean... unraid is awesome for usenet crap but then you turn around and say you dont want any of the features it gives you so no I dont guess I would use unraid in your situation

You can use all of that poo poo, eliminate splash top, and just you sonarr/radarr as your way of adding movies. You can also add OpenVPN for remote addition or set up ombi behind a reverse proxy with Let’s encrypt. Everything unraid does is with docker and the web GUI is stupid simple to set up. It might take some time to set up but once you get it working it's set and forget. You can also achieve 90 percent of this with Ubuntu or CentOS but since it look s like you like windows you probably won't want to go this route unless you like learning.

I guess I'm wondering about the VM part. I haven't hosed around with those much in general, so I'm not clear as to whether Unraid can keep a Win10 VM running 24/7 and accessible to either Splashtop or some other VNC thing and whether running that will gimp all the other docked apps. (Fileserver is a 4670k with 16 GB RAM and an ok SSD.) Usenet isn't enough to find these stupid movies. Six times out of ten, I need to do searches on a couple private trackers. I just need either a remote browser and BitTorrent available all the time (which is my preferred choice) or I need some way to send torrent links through my phone and have some sort of GUI folder control over where those torrents go. Like maybe they go to my lovely Movies folder or maybe to my Google Drive folder, depending on the day. el_caballo fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Sep 2, 2019 |

(Fileserver is a 4670k with 16 GB RAM and an ok SSD.) It can do that yes. It's using the same hyper visor major cloud platforms use(KVM). Also you can add your private trackers to jackett and add them to radarr and never need to open splash top or even run a VM. You won't gimp anything unless Windows starts grinding a failed update or you're doing some kind of heavy usage stuff. Cant help you on the last part with folder redirection. You get a trial license if you want to play with unraid and see if it suits your needs.

OK cool, thanks for Jackett. Hadn't heard of that one before. My old fileserver is still limping along so I can gently caress around with the new one for awhile and swap them once it's working. Even with a weekly reboot, poo poo like the SAB or Sonarr service will just either stop or never start in Windows and there doesn't seem to be anything obvious in the logs. I'm hoping something more server-y will be more set and forget.

I just signed up for another provider because ~4/month is better than ~100/year; the cheap one has ~3 months to prove it's good enough until the year is up on the other one.

As another data point, I also moved from giganews to Ninja (supplemented with a super cheap thundernews backup block) and it has been nothing short of excellent for my needs. I don't miss giganews at all. All of the problems I thought I was having on Ninja were due to my own misunderstandings.

I'm still completely happy with my Newsdemon account that I'm paying less than $3 a month for. Granted, they did screw over a lot of their heavy users a while back, so I can see why people would be hesitant, but from Jan 2018 until now, I've downloaded 2.3 terabytes, and my backup Blocknews account only had to download 45mb of it.

In these days of obfuscated postings, the quality of your indexer matters far more than your Usenet service provider. My primary is Highwinds-based, but I almost never get failed downloads (even going back 2000 days, or more) because I have a good indexer.

The key to completion with ninja is not to use their geoip name. Set your primary server to the point nearest you then the other locations as backup

Weird 4K ISO question. I have an ISO that is 65GB. It's a documentary. When I look in the contents, there is only one real file, a 20GB file that is the movie. MakeMKV also agrees that there is one 20GB file. What the heck is going on here? The entire contents of the ISO is less than a third of its download size. e: I wonder if it's a UHD66 and I'm actually looking at an ISO full of blank data. As in, the entire disc was captured including the blank parts. e2: I'm also not super clear on what SPOT format is...? Taima fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Sep 10, 2019 |

That looks more like your setup is exposed to the internet and multiple people are trying to access it but since they don't have your API key, it's throwing an error.

OK so going into the new TV season, I kind of want to change up how I get my shows. A lot of them I have a tag attached for AMZN which means the release has to have .AMZN. in it as I find these are the cleanest/highest quality versions. However, the turnaround is often a day or two (sometimes longer), and I find myself manually grabbing something if I want it sooner. So now I don't have a bandwidth cap, ideally I'd like the 720p/1080p TV version (as weirdly 1080p seemed a bit scant this week for some) that usually appears within an hour or so, then replace with the AMZN when that's out. Obviously if it was just straightforward WEB versions, I can just use priority stacking but I'm going to be relying on keywords here. I have the v3 Sonarr so I think this is doable with Release Profiles, but haven't had any experience with that. Anyone got something similar running? It looks like it uses weight, so maybe a weight for WEB (again, preferable to HDTV), then a higher one for AMZN/NF/ITUNES? e: sweet, it looks like this does exactly what I want it to at first glance. I made a profile allowing HDTV 720P, HDTV 1080P and WEB 1080P then made a Release Profile named 'webscore' that I add to all my continuing shows, that then scores the web releases based on their tags of AMZN, NF, ITUNES. It might need some refining, and it doesn't help that some groups just use .WEB. when I can tell from the filesize it's not some crappy channel service, but this seems cool. The only thing I'd like to do is hold back on grabbing a 720P HDTV source for 30 minutes in case the 1080P follows straight away, but eh.

Here's what I use. HEVC > x264, multi channel audio > stereo, preference for AMZN is the basic premise. Works well, you can mess around with weights, just realize they all add up in the match so you might get a x264 replace HEVC if it has multi channel audio too. Check some download filenames to get an idea for what you usually find. In practice it does replace downloads after the initial hit, and with that can also update the quality from 720 to 1080 even if it hit the quality limit in the profile. https://imgur.com/6ORBfKC Decairn fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Sep 27, 2019 |

Oh neat, thanks for sharing your settings. I tend to get h264 stuff (non-4K) as archive once I've watched a show, but I don't tend to automate that much but maybe I can experiment with that too. I can't remember if grabbing 4K stuff within Sonarr has been particularly successful, so I'll have to look into that the next time a streaming network drops something I want in highest quality.

HEVC/H265 is complicated as there's no real scene groups doing it for FHD direct from sources on week by week basis to my knowledge. Instead you get a mixed bag of re-encodes of season packs from lossy places, to direct blu-ray to HEVC rips by people who know what they're doing. I've seen good and bad, hence why I tend to do this by hand and check through. For examples, I have all 6 seasons of Community in 1080p HEVC that comes in at 60gb or so. It uses the Amazon H264 sources that for 1 season alone come in at 58gb. So while I'd rather it be done from disc to save possibly more space and be of a bit better quality, I can live with that. I'm on my third season of rewatching and it's been fine. I have all of The Office that comes in at about 25gb at 720p. What I checked again seemed fine at first glance, the hard disk use is tiny compared to either Amazon 1080p h264 and it's probably not a huge shift in quality. I'm not going to A/B it as I'm sure I'll then be spotting the flaws. 720p for archival comedy to me is perfect. I saw an encode of Review and it was just not good, and almost nausea inducing as there's a lot of shaky cam and it just couldn't keep up with it.

I've had a lot of failures lately as I've moved my 4K movies to a different drive and started grabbing 1080p versions for my remote plex users, some movies took several tries and searches before I was able to grab a version that didn't fail to complete. I use newshosting as my provider and NBZGeek as my indexer.

Sonarr grabbing h264 files and then upon completion immediately replacing it with a h265 file is somehow more infuriating than back when I had no h265 compatible devices and it was only grabbing h265 files. like, just grab the h265 file first like you used to, idiot.
