I got in back when it was application sign up. Just watch out for it on r/OpenSignups and you should get in

Motorsports, yes

DM’d

I believe they’re doing 3 Body Problem next, another adaptation but for a Chinese sci-fi this time

To be fair, this “joke” is a pretty accurate representation of her online personality. Just read any of the NFOs on her cracks and you’d see. She’s wild but she’s all we have :(

I guess that makes sense. I’ve just always liked the YouTube Mobile UI and don’t see a reason to move away from it. Premium Family in my country is so cheap I pay less than half a US dollar every month for it

Sounds amazing. You probably have a lot of remuxes then. Find a way into BeyondHD all you’ll be set for life especially considering you can continue seeding long-term

Is it fair to call them alternatives? They’re just alternative front-ends to YouTube. I use Revanced along with Youtube Premium so I can use SponsorBlock along with not having ads

Yeah, but it’s the 128TB part of it that’s really interesting to me. It’s my dream to be able to afford something like that. Mind sharing the specs?

I just pay for Youtube Premium and I have REDacted, Orpheus and Jpopsuki for anything specific that’s not on YouTube

For the most parts, movies and tv shows is generally safe. It’s really difficult to do anything from a media file (.mkv/.mp4) and as long as the torrent doesn’t contain any other weird files you’re fine.

It’s with software and games that you really need to be careful. For software, I would recommend m0nkrus releases from rutracker.org . Google translate the comments on any release and you will see whether any release is suspicious.

Games on the other hand is very hard. There are a bunch of really popular sites that will include some sort of crypto software and other questionable stuff along with their games (igg-games comes to mind). The only public space I trust to get games from is fitgirl-repack.site (this domain is the only official one). Other than that, I only trust GazelleGames but you have to find a way into that and I’m not gonna say it’s hard but its definitely a bit of effort to join.

Like I said before it’s about control. A lot of us want to be able to control what we want to watch, the specific release groups and source of the content we watch. I’m not saying it’s necessarily better than what you do. You have a 128tb media server and you’re obviously a lot more invested into this whole thing than I am but I prefer to control my content.

1. What indexers do you have added to sonarr/radarr? dbzer0 doesn’t mind naming them afaik so you’re good to share them here

2. Setting the quality slider as the other user suggested should work. Go to Settings->Quality and slide the size for WEBDL-1080P and BLURAY-1080P to the size you’d prefer (remember that it’s defined as size per hour and not total size of the file)

3. The best way to do this imo is to define release profiles based on groups. I’m guessing, based on your size preferences, you’d normally grab H265/HEVC 1080p releases re-encoded by various groups like TGx and PSA

On Sonarr (v3), create a release profile and name it whatever you want. In the Must Contain field, paste this -

/^(?=.*(1080|720))(?=.*((x|h)[ ._-]?265|hevc)).*/i

This will force Sonarr to only grab releases which are HEVC. This is actually supposed to go in the Must Not Contain field because re-encodes are much more inferior. But if your intention is to save space this works.

Then in the preferred section you can define the rankings for certain groups you’d like to see. So type in -PSA on the first one and give it a score of 100. In the next one type -TGx with a score of 95 and so on with the groups you’d like to see with corresponding scores according to your preferences.

Radarr is on v4 and now uses Custom Formats so read https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/ to get a better understanding. The Sonarr section can also help if you want to be more specific with your filters. Anyway, Custom Formats can be imported pretty easily but its best you go through that yourself and try to recreate the profile we made on Sonarr for Radarr

Maybe for you, but that’s not how it is for a lot of other people. Some of us prefer to control what releases we grab instead of blindly passing it off to what is essentially a glorified RSS reader (when you don’t set up rules)

See if you can find a way into TorrentLeech, FileList, IPTorrents (probably the easiest). General trackers are pretty good, well-seeded (especially FileList). TL is the best place for scene, and you’ll find it useful for games as well

Surely at that size you would notice the artifacts. Just for my sake can you try a Bluray remux. I expect it’s 4k so you could just grab a 4k web-DL and see if you can notice the difference.

Sonarr only downloads media according to the the rules you give it. If you don’t give it any rules, it will just grab whatever immediately matches the quality profile (1080p, 2160p, etc)

What you can do is follow the trash-guides. Those will give you an updated list of decent groups, and if you use them with notifiarr/recylarr, the profiles on sonarr/radarr will also auto-update along with changes in the guides

IGG has been known to include all kinds of weird shit with their installers

I believe you’re referring to ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 2023 2160p WEB-DL DDP5 1 Atmos HDR DV HEVC-CMRG’

The HDR DV part of the title denotes that the file is “High Dynamic Range + Dolby Vision”. The reason you’re seeing the pink, or sometimes green, filter is because of the Dolby Vision HDR layer on this file.

This file is sourced from Disney+ and if you had a DV supported display, they would serve this version of the file for you. Otherwise, they would serve a SDR, or Standard Dynamic Range, version of the same movie for displays that don’t support DV or has it disabled. I recommend that if you’re grabbing 2160p files, you take care to see whether you’re grabbing a HDR version.

In your case, I would almost always go with non-HDR and non-DV, sometimes it could be both, sometimes it could be either one. Ideally, grab a release that doesn’t included both of those terms and you should have the SDR version. 1080p can also have HDR, but very rarely DV so you only really need to care about this when it’s 4k
