When something gets removed from steam and it’s in your steam library but not installed, is it gone forever?

Thanks I will give it a shot and see how it goes. The biggest thing holding me back is older hardware like the Nvidia Shield for example not supporting AV1.

I wonder if it’s possible to re-encode from H.265/HEVC to AV1

Finamp for all your local music, you will need a jellyfin server. Plexamp is pretty good as well, but you will need a Plex server.

Could you provide a few examples or point me in the right direction to bypass the always online or call home features.

Currently my Library is shared with a reverse proxy and only accessable through CloudFlare. My firewall and pihole block my Plex server from sending anything to the Plex analytics address. Within Plex settings I have it set that Plex is not accessible online.

Is there anything else that I can do or missed.

Trying to rebuild this my first time I took all files appended with .1 and placed them into a BDMV folder with the correct folder structure and index files. I then did the same for all the .2 files into another DBMV folder and so on. I then removed the appended numbers to these files.

This left me with 12 disk folders, though I could not get makemkv open any of these.

What I think I may have been missing (which I will give a shot tomorrow) was copying over the content that did not have a appended number originally into both these folders skipping any files with the same name.

Feeding it into DBinfo I can see the appended playlist files (appended with .1, .2, .3 and so on) call the same numbered stream files with no appended .1, .2, .3

If I had to guess the uploader may have uploaded the content of all six disk, and appended numbers to context that was different between the 6 to save on uploading the same file more then once?

Where I am getting stuck in this logic is why there are 12 index files in the upload while there should only be 6 disks as listed in the .XML files.

From what I can tell makemkv can only handel reading one index file at a time.

Here’s a screenshot of the multiple index files.

The “original folder” that I downloaded was just a one folder with all the files dumped inside.

From what I can tell Makemkv needs a streams/playlist/cpli folder inside of the BDMV folder to function along with a index file.

Asking the same question as well. What counties would be best to have a seedbox in.

Maybe sonarr could help with the naming. You can rip your CDs and have the files named 1,2,3 and then with sonar import the files and have them renamed to the proper series name and folder structure.

This may be semi automatic and you will still need a ripping software.

Other then that filebot is another good option that I have used.

There are plenty of ways this could technically be achieved, but the arrs are not where you would be looking IMO for content deletion (that’s automated).

Though there is a option in the arrs that sets the content to “unmonitored” once it’s deleted on disk. This way the content is not regrabbed once deleted.

Think of the arrs as your downloaders, Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi as your viewers.

If you are using something like unraid for your OS you can set a script that deletes files older then a certain date, or if you use truenas you can do the same. This all really depends where you host/store your files.

And Plex does have the ability to delete content once watched, though I don’t use it as I have multiple users that watch my content, so I have no good way to classify what watched means, as well as there is content that I don’t want deleted as it’s not available online anymore.

Your question is a little odd, Torrenting “manually” and torrenting with the -arrs is the same in “process” and you will use the same amount of diskspace (not accounting for the programs themselves that is).

Using the -arrs is what make the who torrenting process a little more “automated” as you specify the content you are looking for, and once that content it available the software pulls it from whatever sites or index’s you have provided in your initial setup of the programs.

No more having to look at multiple sites for something, as soon as it’s online the arrr pull it and download it as soon as possible for you.

If you are into self hosting, I suggest you look into unraid, from there look at sonnar/radarr/libarr (tv/movies/music), run these in radar as dockers. I recommend looking a spaceinvaders videos on YouTube to get you started.

These three dockers will help with automating your torrent downloads.

Once you get comfortable with this I would suggest looking into seedboxes to host your download clients outside of your local network. And I would also suggest looking into nzb downloads to help pull more content. There are some excellent nzb sites to sign up for.
