Media Organizer Recommendations - not a pirate in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have already paid for Plex lifetime and Jellyfin doesn't run on TNAS (or at least my TNAS).

Thanks for the tip! Looking into it now that you recommended it. It looks like it is auto renaming files based on their existing names and not based on "fingerprint." How would this differ from FileBot? If I had a folder that I ripped to (local harddrive) would it watch it, rename and move it to the media server automatically (given I named the episodes appropriately)?

Media Organizer Recommendations - not a pirate (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

What software do you recommend to automate or assist organizing digital media?

My household has a lot of discs that I have been tasked with making available on the local network. Movies, TV shows, music, audio, and even photo negative scans. We live in an area that torrenting is not an option, but making copies of discs you own for personal use if legal. Also, many of these discs are not mainstream media.

I often see recommendations to use radarr or lidarr, but I assumed the "arr" means pirate and that's not what I'm looking to do.

Currently I am using a mix of MakeMKV, Handbrake, DVDFab, Filebot, and Plex. DVDFab is pretty good with movies, and Filebot is pretty good with TV shows, but it's still a lot of manual work and even still sometimes Plex grabs the wrong episode. I'm also underwhelmed with the way Filebot treats forced subtitles, and my overall ability to access and label special features off these discs.

I've run across a few software that will analyze music to identify it, is there anything similar for movies or TV shows?

I have about 30TB of media scanned in and compressed to HEVC or opus already with another few thousand discs to go. I'd be interested in options to backup/stream ISO's for movies, but only if I can delete the ads and other junk.

I'm currently using Windows 11 and TNAS, but I can setup my desktop to dual boot Linux if I need to. (Must retain Windows for work). I'd be open to something along the lines of Zappiti but all the links on their website are broken so I assume they are out of business.

The lower the number the better. That's pretty decent.

I paid mine off. Auto-pay is still withdrawing and I'm getting late notices in the mail. Incompetent greedy fucks.

Does Anyone Have a TIFU Moment When Cooking? in c/food@beehaw.org
[–] BearJCC@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For some reason I have a hard time with which knob goes to which burner on a range. Couldn't tell you why. Got home from a 12 hour shift at work and my wife, who didn't work that day, told me she expected me to make dinner. I go into the kitchen and it is a much bigger mess then how I left it the night before. So with my last bit of mental capacity I put things away enough so I can cook. But apparently there were some plastic lids under a glass lid on the back of the stove. Started a pot of water and went to the other side of the kitchen to chop some veg. The kitchen started to smell weird, and I'm looking around trying to figure what it is, and figure out I had turned on the wrong burner. Picked up the glass lid and my lungs were assaulted with plastic fumes. I'm coughing and hacking and wheezing and almost passing out on the floor. It was so hard for me to breath I felt like I was dying. This brings my wife in and she steps over my body and finishes making dinner. Serves herself some, and takes it into the bedroom just as I'm barely able to stand again. That's when I realized, I had fucked up. Shouldn't have married her. Been divorced 2 years today.

Which way looks more comfortable as you wait for your coffee? in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world
[–] BearJCC@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why yes I would rather sit in my comfy padded chair in the AC where I can listen to my own music and charge my cell phone rather than sitting on a metal chair listening to 20 other people's conversations in 100 degree weather.

There are many arguments against drive-thru restaurants. This is a stupid ass one.

Many coffee and fast food restaurants around where I live closed down internal seating around covid and still haven't opened the backup now due to staffing issues. Terminally stupid my ass.

Plex Alternative - MP4 as audio only (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Does anyone know of a self hosted media streaming service similar to Plex that will allow me to stream videos as audio only? Or better yet, to be able to sync/download them as audio only?

I have been going through and ripping hundreds of discs and hosting them on Plex, but my gf likes listening to shows while she sleeps and I like listening to movies while I commute.

Having the ability to use less data, less phone storage, and not have the screen on would be great.

Our solutions so far are: For movies, use external player of vlc and select audio only. For TV shows this will not play the next episode so I have a batch file I run that uses ffmpeg to extract the audio tracks and relabel them such that TV franchises are "Artists," TV shows are "Albums," seasons are "Discs" and episodes are "Tracks"

But this is still a bit of pain, I was wondering if anyone knew of apps that could do this natively.

[Request for Recommendation] Alarm Clock / Timer (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Anybody know of an alarm clock or timer I can put on my Steam Deck? I play during my lunch break and would like to set an alarm when it is time to wrap up and go back to work.

I would also use the alarm function to limit myself to a certain amount of time per session on the weekend.
