I just went to watch a movie and my server said it wasn’t there, so I went and check the PC folders and all of my movies are gone. Not in any of the recycling bins, not anywhere, just gone. What would have caused this? How do I stop it from happening again? It’s been working fine for months then this just happened.
Do any of your plex users have the permissions required to delete files?
Radarr doesn’t delete video files unless replacing them with a new one, or commanded to delete them. It will delete related metadata files like images, subtitles, and nfo when it thinks a video file has been deleted though.
Your logs repeat with root folder ‘E:/Movies’ was not found while trying to import new media, but doesn’t mention anything else. Does that folder still exist, or was it also deleted? All your movies, or just some? Were other libraries modified? (tv shows)
Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...
I have a decent amount of video footage that I’d like to share with friends and family. My first thought was Youtube, but this is all home videos that I really don’t want to share publicly....
Emby, Jellyfin, and Plex will all detect connection speed, adjust quality settings, and transcode the media to playback without buffering.
I wouldn’t recommend Plex. They’ve been steadily moving away from self-hosted private media servers and towards just serving comercial content to you.
I myself run Emby as I’m rather fond of their development team and their attitude towards privacy. It does require payment for ‘emby premier’, ie the installable client apps and transcoding features, but it has single payment lifetime licenses as well as monthly.
Jellyfin is a popular open source option that is built on a fork of Embys older open source code before they went closed source.
After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:...
I’ll probably reconsider once renewal comes around, but that’s ~4 years away. Until then, as long as things continue functioning: meh. Doesn’t really make a difference.
Are they supporting FOSS, or looking to buy out the project to make it a closed in-house solution and avoid the bad publicity they created this last week?
I have a unused RPi4 (the 8Gig one) running DietPi. I did use it as a playground but ever since I am renting a Hetzner machine for (playground) stuff that I want web accessible, I don’t have particular use for the Pi....
For instance, say I search for “The Dark Knight” on my Usenet indexer. It returns to me a list of uploads and where to get them via my Usenet provider. I can then download them, stitch them together, and verify that it is, indeed, The Dark Knight. All of this costs only a few dollars a month for me....
They do receive takedown notices, however files uploaded to usenet are mirrored across many providers across many jurisdictions while also split into many parts as you noted. Usenets implementation of file sharing is quite robust; being able to rebuild a file that’s missing a significant portion of it’s data. To successfully take down a file, you need to remove many of these parts across almost all of the usenet backbones which requires cooperation across many nations/jurisdictions that are governed by varying laws. It’s not an easy task.
Here’s a somewhat limited map of usenet providers:
I love not being bombarded by ads thanks to pihole and adblockers. I don’t have cable TV either. But without browsing netlifx/Hulu/etc. how do you actually find stuff to watch and discover worthwhile shows and movies to rent from my library?
The ‘popular’, ‘trending new shows’/‘up comming movies’, and ‘most anticipated’ lists in NZB360 (android app for managing the whole 'arr stack and more)
User requests via Ombi (it also has lists like above to look through)
Random titles I find on Lemmy.
Word of mouth.
Oh yeah: and IMDB lists added to radarr. Lists for various studios, and a big standup comedy list.
I wrote a bash script a while back that uses sshfs to mount an ssh server to the filesystem, then uses dd to write /dev/mmcblk0 to it as hostname-date.img and finally unmount the ssh server. Cron job runs that daily.
I run that on each of my rpis. (just one rn, but theres been as many as 4 going).
Any time I have an issue, be that my fault or not, I can just pull the sd card and write the last .img to it directly.
There’s some extra stuff in there too: it checks for the dependancy sshfs and installs it if missing (for deploying to a new system without reconfiguring), cleans up backups older than x days, logging, and the ability to write the log file as a test instead of the whole filesystem.
While this seems like a great plan; I wouldn’t put it past manufacturers to throw an error message and disable the vehicle for ‘safety’ when it detects a missing network connection for an extended period and/or disabled hardware during self-test.
I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...
I pay $13/year for a domain (that gets used across many self-hosted services), and another $6/mo for usenet access (provider + indexer) giving me access to anything I’d want to watch. Between Emby, Ombi, and the 'arr stack; I can open a webpage, search for new content, and click ‘download’; 15min later it’s in the library and ready to watch offline.
Currently sitting on a collection of 3500 movies and 35000 tv episodes that’s ever growing.
Look, I agree his works shouldn’t be destroyed, just not monetizable.
But the dude poked a bear with a sharp stick… Suing the creators of the story/characters you’ve built your content on for copyright infringement? Brilliant move…
