It is a really good thought. Your comment prompted me to check the whole machine (SSD + raid array) and I don't have any hard-linking of media files, torrent files or anything like that. So that isn't it.

I think it's just a bug in the system.

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Not yet and hopefully I won't have to do that.

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I thought about that too. It's why I noted in the post that my files are set to delete and not be moved to the trash first. Those settings are in options/advanced.

I deleted .25 terabytes and it hasn't changed at all. It used to increment up after every deletion, so this is new.

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

It doesn't. I rolled the version back to 4.6.7 and it didn't help, so I moved it forward again. Restarted the container, then the stack, then the whole physical machine. Nothing so far. Yeah, maybe I'll file a report on their page.

 

qBit does delete the file from my physical drive (direct attached storage, raid5). But won't update the free space in the WebUI. The discrepency is over 1TB, so I'd like to address this if someone can help me.

Some info:

  • qBit v.5.0.1, docker, from linuxserver.io
  • Ubuntu 24.04
  • Automatic Management Mode is checked
  • Torrent content removing mode: Delete files permanently
 

I can't get radarr to add https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27430909/ to the library.

Searching with imdb:tt27430909. When I try other imdb ids, it works fine. But this one won't work. Anyone know how to manually bring this into my libary.

FWIW, I actually bought this title off of his website. It is really inexpensive, so if you can afford it, I recommend buying it.

I haven't received any PMs.

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

No idea why that didn't come on my basic search. Thank you. You are doing god's work.

[–] ReedReads@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Hm. I can't find it. Can you PM me the torrent number? It's in the url. Or the link?

Dolby Digital (e-ac & e-ac3) are lossy codecs. So transcoding a lossy codec to a lossless codec, is not a good idea.

You can read more about it here: https://interviewfor.red/en/transcodes.html

Yikes. Thanks for catching that. I mistyped.

Nothing. It’s just that you don’t see people use flac very often as an audio codec for movies or TV series. At least I haven’t seen it very often.

The only issue would be if you were trying to transcode Dolby Digital to flac. That is not a transcode you want to do.

Okay so I just went a private general tracker and looked up an av1 movie. It is a 2014 feature film encoded by the WhiskyJack group (the better trackers don't allow AV1 content yet). For this film, the audio codec is Opus. I looked in the nfo and for the audio file, it says that they are using Opus 5.1 with a 32 bit rate. That's not ideal. For 6-channel audio, we recommend 256 kb/s. 192 is acceptable, but it's going to be another 20 megabytes to bump it up to 256, so why not do it?

Also, it doesn't tell you what the source is. So if the original audio was ac3 or e-ac3, it is not going to sound great.

 

I’d like to prioritize bandwidth for trackers where ratio is hard and de-prioritize trackers where almost everything is freeleech. Is there a way to do this?

 

I know how to do it on a bare-metal installation. But on the Docker version, I can't figure out how to create a brand new torrent. Can someone help me out?

 

I'm looking to download a number of educational youtube videos for future reference. Looking for a reliable way to download videos. OS is Ubuntu. FF extensions and docker containers all good. I don't really want to install an executable on bare metal unless it is a flatpak.

My goal is for the downloaded videos to be accessed locally via jellyfin. Jellyfin is already sorted.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

 

These groups do most mainstream shows with similar settings so when should you choose one over the other?

 

I have some Gnome extensions that are great but also have some bloatware that I’ve accumulated over the years.

Is it worth wiping the drive and doing a fresh install for Fedora 40?

I'm new to Soulseek. Got my Nicotine+ docker set up w/ VPN through gluetun. I'm good to go. Port forwarding is working correctly and I'm sharing a little over 100GB of flacs that I have ripped personally with EAC and a couple people have downloaded some of my stuff, which is really cool. I don't have privileges rn.

But I there are a lot of albums that I've lost over the years that I see on SoulSeek. I want them. But I want to make sure I don't get blocked or banned. So, say a person has 3-5 whole albums that I want. Is it proper to just download them all at once? I've seen things like this on one person's profile page:

If you start browsing my share like it is a shop and queueing everything you come across e.g. whole artist folders, I will just remove you.

So a little guidance from this community would make me feel a little more confident?
