Backstory and HEVC conversion stuff: (See below for the Plex Serving)I have been on the hunt for a solution that can convert my TV library to HEVC and I think I stumbled upon that solution as well as a legit bargain for Plex serving as well.
I want to convert my TV library to HEVC to save disk space. I am using Tdarr and started out with the TV show ‘24’ and using what hardware I had on hand was going to take forever via CPU transcoding.
For comparison to the solution I found, I started out attempting to HEVC transcode with a Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 2 that has a vendor locked (boo. Don’t buy a Lenovo with an AMD CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650GE CPU. This post isn’t really about that, but I wanted to illustrate the differences for comparison. This CPU got me 26fps on my 24 TV show library.
My solution was to purchase this system used on Ebay:Dell Precision 3420 with the Nvidia P600 GPU. This system could be customized when new with a couple of GPUs or just …
So I briefly researched usenet posting and wanted a veracity check on some info along with a few related questions
1. Recovery Slices - More recovery slices improve recoverability and flexibility. If we have 200MB of data missing across 150 different input slices but the number of recovery slices is <150, we can’t recover the data even with 400MB of recovery. The only disadvantage of more slices is longer processing times.
2. Slice Size - The slice size for input and recovery slices is the same, and par2 lets you have 65535 recovery slices but limits the input slices to 32768. I’m curious about situations where recovery slices would exceed input slices. The slice size should be a multiple of article size (700K). Should this be -
I bought an expensive VIP before testing it, and now I’m regretting it. Should have tested the queries during the trial. The API is barely usable for anything automated.
Hi, yesterday was able to sign up to DOGnzb. I’m still on free trial. I was able to use the global search on it one time last night and was able to download a nzb/file. But today, no matter what I search for, it cranks away for 10-15 secs and then returns the error msg: “NO NZBS FOUND MATCHING YOUR SEARCH QUERY.” But if I choose a category like “Movies” from the title bar it gives me another query window where I can type in the name of the movie and it’ll give me a drop-down with a list of items that match that title. I can select one of them and then use the “+ Add Item” button to get a listing of the nzbs. But not always. It’s really odd behavior. Anyone with DOGnzb, have you seen this before?
There are many Usenet providers which offering excellent speeds and service but what is frustrating me the most are the ‘missing blocks’. I know it has something to do with DMCA aka notice and takedown. Almost every provider have this problem.
Is there a alternative Usenet provider on the market who doesn’t have this problems?
this looks like it might be interesting
Many of you may know this, but maybe not. I’ve been running sonarr and radarr for several years and didn’t know about this. I had even searched for this exact thing and somehow missed it. LunaSea is an app for your sonarr and radarr instances, plus other external modules. To play with that I’ve set it to my self hosted speed test. It’s clean and best of all it works. I am in no way affiliated with them, just want to spread the word.
If Sonarr is having trouble matching an episode because it’s named poorly on the indexer, often times I can find it by using the magnifying glass next to the episode.
But if I pick the poorly named episode, Sonarr can’t seem to figure out that the one I just picked is related to the episode I picked it on.
It just downloads it, but then I have to manually move it into place.
Is there any way to get Sonarr to force a relationship between the download I picked and the Episode I was on when I picked it?
I’d like it to name it properly and move it where it’s supposed to go.
I’m using 3.0.8
Hi All,
Curious if you might be able to help me.
The Pokémon series (tmdbid: tt0168366) seems a bit off. In Sonarr, the official, main series shows 19 seasons. It also shows that the 19th season continues to this day.
When I look at each of the links for the series though, they show that it’s well into season 24. Season 19 in Sonarr is showing that for the last like 50 episodes that they don’t have an absolute number, and I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. I know that there are other series that I can add to Sonarr for Pokémon that correlate to these specific seasons… like I can add Pokemon Journeys which accounts for Season 23, but those eps technically should exist within the main Pokemon release in Sonarr…
I don’t really know where to start with this… is this a Sonarr issue? a TMDB issue? an issue with how I have this series setup?
Just trying to make sure that I can keep downloading episodes for my kiddo.
Hey all,
I followed this solution to omit DV releases being grabbed. Some are still making it through the filter like this one.
Code I have in my profile:
/\b(dv|dovi|dolby[ .]vision)\b.*(?=[ ._-]web[ ._-]?(dl|rip)\b)/i, /(?=[ ._-]web[ ._-]?(dl|rip)\b).*\b(dv|dovi|dolby[ .]vision)\b/i
Any kind people able to assist? Cheers.
Okay so I have been using Sonarr, and understand that if I have a release profile that has my configured regex filter for whatever, I can assign that profile a tag - and when I set something new in Sonarr I can add the new title along with that same tag and the release profile will be applied to the new series.
I have no idea how to achieve the same the radarr. I have read the guides but I am lost even still. Currently I have a custom format in radarr and under it’s settings, I have added conditions to be each of the movie formats (1080, 720, UHD) which I assume makes this a global custom format.
But what if I want a specific format like I do with Sonarr? Is there system similar to tags?
