A friend of mine got one of these and I am just wondering how do they know if someone is making money? I know people who has a bunch of users on their PLEX and never got one of these. Also would it be worth it to dispute it?
Has anyone else offered their Plex server to friends or family frustrated with juggling multiple streaming subscriptions, only to find no one actually takes up the offer? I’ve repeatedly suggested my Plex as a way to access shows and movies without the extra cost when they bring these frustrations up, but it seems like my offer goes unnoticed. Even when directly mentioning they can watch whatever they want for free on my Plex, the interest is almost nonexistent.
I am not desperate for users on my Plex, I mainly do it for myself and am just happy to share the wealth with others, but the lack of curiosity or willingness to try a free alternative is baffling, especially considering how much people spend on subscriptions. Is this just me, or does anyone else find this lack of interest strange?
Edit For some context:
I have a decent library of content; Roughly 2000 movies, 150 shows, and 450 music artists. It’s constantly up to date with the most trending, popular, and …
Feel like I have a type of OCD problem lol
These past few years I have been using Usenet to download content.
However, weren’t they forums? Like a precursor to Reddit and other online forums?
Does that still go on? How would I even use Usenet to participate in discussions?
I signed up for an EasyNews account using the best deal I could currently find, which is this. Unfortunately the $2.99 deal seems to be dead. This deal says it is $5.99 per month for 12 months with 3 free months. But when it processed my payment, it credited me with 15 months but charged me $5.99 for each month, a total of $89.99. And it says I will be rebilled at the same rate. Shouldn’t it be more like $71.99, since $6 times 12 months is $72? Am I missing something here? Highly inclined to try to cancel (the page says 30 day money back guarantee but since I fell like they already tried to scam me I’m not very confident in that.) I’m trying to reach their support as well but I understand it can be a challenge.
I have 1 gig fiber and Easynews download speeds have dropped to almost nothing. Before Xmas, a 1.5 GB file would download in a few minutes. Now it can take up to 20 minutes. Speed test shows that I should be downloading at 900+ Mbps. I get these speeds when downloading from Real-Debrid or other sites. I tried using the Easynews route selector webpage to test different routes but the test would not load more than 17% using Chrome and Edge. I’ve been a Easynews member for a decade and have never run into a speed issue with them before. I tried to create a ticket but the page doesn’t give any indication that anything went through after clicking submit. Hopefully someone has some suggestions on what I can try next.
Anyone know of a way to have Blu-ray.com’s release schedule incorporated into Radarr’s calendar, but only if it’s a movie that you’ve already got in your Radarr database?
I do appreciate the calendar in Radarr, but it seems its main function is to show when a movie will be released in theaters, and then when that movie will be released on digital and physical media. However, what about older movies that we have in our Radarr list that haven’t yet seen a Blu-ray release (standard or 4K)? A good example is the 4K releases of Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer that came out last week. I already had those movies in my Radarr list, but there was no mention of these new releases in the calendar. Or even bigger: The Abyss, Aliens, and True Lies, all of which I have in my Radarr database, which all come out on 4K Blu-ray next month, but are no where to be seen on Radarr’s calendar.
I’ve done a fair amount of research on exactly how to go about this, but I wanted to confirm before I pulled the trigger.
I’m moving my media server/seed box to a new PC. I’m trying to do this as seamlessly as possible. On my current system resides 2 internal HDDs with long term storage, 1 external for downloading and seeding. The external HDD will be transferred over to the new PC. I plan on changing the drive letter to match it’s current one to make the torrent transition easier. For the other two, I’ve already mapped them as a network drive and plan on pointing the *arrs and Plex at them once installed.
I followed the instructions Plex lays out for transferring the server to a new PC. Servers up and running fine with the networked drives, minus the external harddrive library.
Next step would be to install QBitorrent on the new machine, copying the localapp data from my old PC to the new one. Move the external harddrive to new PC, change drive letter …
I already use Custom Filter to filter out non-English releases. However, I know there are a myriad of other things I’d love to avoid:
3D, Open Matte, Director’s Cut, Extras, etc etc
Please share your tricks here - many of us could learn from your experience.
Thanks!
Right now I have two indexers, NZBPlanet, and NZBGeek. I feel like I read somewhere along the line that some indexers share the same data pool that they pull from. Is this true? The two that I have, are they pulling from the same pool or are they two separate groups?
Right now I’m trying to add some older TV series and there’s so many links that are failed from missing articles. I’m trying to look into adding another indexer. See if it can pick up the missing stuff, but I am unsure if to go with another NZB or a different group altogether.
Which is a good third to add?
Or is this not an indexer issue and an additional News hosting server that needs to be added?
Just looking to get some opinions to put my mind at ease. I’ve reverse proxied sonarr and radarr with protection from caddy on a Linux server, verified with let’s encrypt. Each instance is in a subdomain with a gibberish title like website.com/Hd4ac68g and the username password combo is equal gibberish of 12 characters, mix of numbers letters and special characters.
I know I probably could use a VPN but my phone already routes through one with an adblocker and I had already set up Jellyfin through reverse proxy so I knew how to do this easier. How secure is my instance here?
