ProtonVPN?

But no p2p on free. Honestly, OP, for this one you may just have to drop some cash on a reputable VPN

Get your head out of the gutter. There is a difference between file and philia, the former being something managed by this program and the latter being Greek for “love”. Further, the phil- prefix/suffix is used in many words which don’t mean what you seem to associate it with. Take philosophy for example—the love of wisdom.

What’s wrong with it?

Jellyfin is also a fork of Emby so there’s some continuity there for OP

Heads up, pivpn is now unmaintained !

It is much less of a PITA than it is often made out to be. I made the transition just recently and had both Plex and Jellyfin running simultaneously for about a month. I used that time to just go through and adjust my progress through my home videos on Jellyfin so I remembered where I left off before shutting down Plex entirely. As long as your directory structure is well organized, it shouldn’t be hard to switch to Jellyfin at all, and if your directories aren’t organized… well it’s a good opportunity to organize them. For large libraries, the *arr stack is great for that.

You can install smarttube next on your shield. It has sponsor block as well as regular ad block

Yes, but as TVDB is 1) not as open/free as TMDB and 2) blatantly incorrect about some metadata information, the problem does not here end. I’d like to use TMDB as my metadata provider.

It’s a real shame, a huge problem, and user-configurable metadata sources would solve it

Pokémon is the absolute worst. Have you ever tried to organize the Pokémon show?? It’s a mess. Without being able to adjust what metadata Sonarr uses and consequently how it organizes the file structure, Jellyfin doesn’t understand what is happening and none of the metadata is correct. It’s insane. It completely goes against the main reason I use *arr, and I will not manually be organizing over 1,000 episodes of Pokémon manually.

Does cd + work to go forward after using cd - ?

I can’t find it now, but there was that one text post that went something like “1. Copying a movie costs the studio money, 2. Download a movie, 3. Make 1000 copies, 4. Studio goes bankrupt”

I just finished reading it! One grammatical thing I noticed: “system de jour” should be “system du jour”. System made of day vs. system of the day

I’ve never used the qBittorrent search function so if everything mentioned in my earlier comment is included in qBittorrent directly, then I don’t know. Use what works best for you. As I understand it, the main appeal of the *arr stack is that it does everything automatically and without you having to intervene to get what you want.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I imagine that qBittorrent doesn’t automatically search for better versions of your media, automatically rename and move files to your specification, automatically evaluate search results to choose a download that matches your desired quality, automatically search for desired media when it is released (like new episodes of a currently running TV show), automatically import subtitle files or extras to your library, or automatically grab metadata for all your media.

Sonarr and Radarr are just some apps that handle the searching, download queueing, and organizing for movies and shows respectively.

You can tell them what media you want and in what quality/file size. They then use another app (Jackett, Prowlarr) to search a list of your preferred websites. They analyze the results and pick a download that best fits your quality specifications. They then send those results to your download client and move/copy/link the finished downloads to your specified media directory. They also rename your downloaded media files according to a scheme that you can define to your liking. In this way your media library stays clean and organized.

Basically you set them up once and then whenever you want something you just add it to your library on either Sonarr or Radarr depending on if you want a movie or a show. The apps handle the rest of the process for you. Additionally, they will periodically search your list of websites for media you already have and can replace what you have with versions that better align with your quality preferences.

To make things even simpler for the end user (presumably you), you can also set up apps like Jellyseerr or Overseerr that act as a front end to Sonarr and Radarr. You can search in a quick and convenient way for the media you want, and these front end apps will add them the appropriate Sonarr or Radarr library. Coupled with a media server like Jellyfin, the pirate’s workflow essentially becomes this: 1) navigate to your request page, 2) select what you want to watch, 3) wait for it to appear on your media server, 4) watch it.

Edit: fixed a subject-verb agreement problem.

CUPS? Use the localhost webpage to configure

Can I ask why your Jellyfin has two libraries for them? Why not set the naming scheme in your 4K library to do “movie title (year) - 4K.mkv” ? Then Jellyfin recognizes the two quality versions and gives you a version selector for each film that has more than one version

What’s complex about pacman? I’ve found pacman to be more reliable and easier to manage than apt, so I’m just curious about your experience
