Amateur mistake to not already have that ready to go.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 95 points 4 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 9 points 3 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.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

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

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 10 points 3 days ago

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

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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.

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

Do you have (thing I want)?

Well, no

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

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 days ago (7 children)

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

Or

Then you're welcome to sign in with yours.

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 8 points 4 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?

Indeed. What in the geographical fuck.

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

[–] Darcranium@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago
[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 4 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 9 points 4 days ago

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

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 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.
