Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Was recovering an old virtual machine onto a new box and was shocked to see 9,999, I presume thats an upper limit in the UI. Dune (2021) for those curious

Now wheres my crossbones flag?

Hi all! I have a Feral seedbox that runs QBit and can't seem to install search plugins. I've tried a few things:

• From the unofficial search plugins page, open the raw python for 1337x and paste its URL into QBit after opening Search plugins > Install new plugin > Plugin path.
• Download that same .py file and FTP it to my seedbox. In Plugin path, enter ~/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/engines/one337x.py
• Restart Qbit, since the above is my plugins directory anyway, so maybe it will detect the new plugin. Nope.

Am I missing something stupid? The "official" instructions tell me to browse for a local file, but there's no file browser in this version of QBit (4.3.9 if it matters).

What's driving me crazy is I'm pretty sure I've successfully done this before. I know I can use Jackett (or Sonarr), but the first feels unfinished and buggy and the the second is way more than I need for my use case.

Does anyone here use Qbittorrent search plugins and see what I'm screwing up? Thanks!

I want a resource like this, you want a resource like this, subscribe! and maybe it'll get somewhere.

Not self-promotion since I'm hoping to hand this off asap if it ever gets going. Sorry if this breaks the rules.

Nearing the filling of my 14.5TB hard drive and wanting to wait a bit longer before shelling out for a 60TB raid array, I've been trying to replace as many x264 releases in my collection with x265 releases of equivalent quality. While popular movies are usually available in x265, less popular ones and TV shows usually have fewer x265 options available, with low quality MeGusta encodes often being the only x265 option.

While x265 playback is more demanding than x264 playback, its compatibility is much closer to x264 than the new x266 codec. Is there a reason many release groups still opt for x264 over x265?

I have a few shows like the Daily Show I'll sometimes watch the monologue but not the full episode.

Plex has a setting to "Keep unwatched episodes" which will delete never-watched episodes, and another to "delete X days after viewing" for fully-watched episodes. But if an episode is partially watched, neither applies and it just sits there.

This seems like a weird oversight and I am wondering if there's a setting I'm missing. I can't be the first person who wants "delete 7 days after adding regardless of anything else"

I am one of those suckers (:sigh) who paid for Youtube since it bundled Youtube Music with it. However, today I used the latter's Revanced version and it was so much customizable. Right from removing menu items to the stupid cast button Google has forced on us; it seems a billion dollar company can't compete with these folks who make their apps so much more serviceable.

I don't wish to go too much into the official Youtube client which too is tacked with things like Remix button and what not.

I know we aren't allowed to ask for invites specifically so hopefully this question isn't in violation.

Where does one even start looking? Do I just constantly refresh pages and hope there will be open sign ups one day?

Edit: Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone :)

I recently started using Violentmonkey and there are hundreds of absolutely great scripts like some that help you go straight to the download link instead of shorteners (very common on pirate sites), and there are also some scripts for downloading music from Spotify (I guess using Youtube), but I hardly know any more, anyone know of some scripts for general use or useful for pirating?

I wrote an indexer and downloader for libgen that is mostly compatible with readarr via newznab and nzbget apis.

I don’t know much about readarr or the nzbget api but I have a working v1.

Not sure where to take it from here though.

Not sure if it would be better to write a new downloader and get it added to readarr or keep emulating an existing downloader.

I feel like this bridges a gap in content from Usenet with libgen but I’m looking for feedback and to see if anyone knows of a similar project.

Also if there is any interest I will publish a docker container so you can run it next to your arr stack.

Thoughts?

I'm referencing this article: https://torrentfreak.com/film-companies-seek-torrenting-history-related-to-redditor-240220/

Given that they're expanding to reddit, I was wondering how dbzer0 is setup to handle similar requests. The legal help page for dbzer0 is just an e-mail address.

I have been trying to set up everything over on docker and have came across an issue where large file sizes (4K tv episodes etc) fail to download at all where 1080 (small sizes around 1 gb download just fine to same location).
Edit: an almost 8 gb season can download just fine but a 4.35 file will not and the 3.8 GB one will work (same TV show and name besides EP number)

I just pulled new image to attempt to fix but did not work. I found this but it tells me nothing or I think nothing.

Error message from logs:

file size for above are 9-10gb

I switched from the YouTube app to LibreTube on my android phone, but it's buffering most of the videos so much that I can't use it. The same videos work just fine on the YouTube app. Any suggestions what I could do to improve it?

The AnimeBytes outage from yesterday was because of this, DNS registrar seems to have gone down with all it's .tv domains, and this has taken down lots of sites

One thing that leaps out at me about this ruling is that courts understand the internet a lot better nowadays. A decade or so ago Sony would have probably gotten away with the argument that Cox profited from the users' piracy; nowadays judges themselves use the internet and are going to go "lolno, they probably would have been Cox customers anyway. It's not like anyone pays for internet connection solely to pirate. And in most areas people don't even have a choice of provider, so how is Cox profiting from this?"

I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.

My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?

Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?

Hello, is there a streaming site like sportsurge club for german content? A site that lists links to live streams of sport events in German?

Okay dunno if this question is allowed so remove it if it is. I never got into twitter but I thought I should give mastodon a try but now I need suggestions on whom to follow.

I am posting it here because I think I somewhat align with the population of this community better.

I'm trying to dl a documentary from 2015 called Sensitive but there are no seeds/peers. I searched the piratebay, 1337x, yts, torrentz2. Any idea where to search further?

I noticed yesterday that now I only get a black screen when I try to screen record or screenshot the content on the service and would like to understand how I can go around this or get another way of getting the content. It's a bummer because FILMIN has a lot of content that I'm interested in but I don't find the movies and series anywhere else to watch, download or even buy.

FILMIN is a spanish streaming service with a lot of european kinda niche content btw.

At least in arch, the package qbittorrent-nox now contains the ability to connect to i2p. For people starting out, using i2p you wouldn't need to use a VPN to download your favorite "linux ISOs"; just use i2p and have a fully automated Jellyfin server!

I recommend using i2pd as the i2p router

What else is the "remote HTTPS connection"? Is it possible to stream my stream OUTWARDS to WAN? (With port forwading) So I can just give friends a link to stream from my stream? Easy peasy? Would be super handy

I was just scrolling through the megathread for untrusted websites and saw that yts.mx was untrusted? I've been using that website for YEARS. Am I fucked? I did a quick search in this community and saw posts mostly recommending the site, so does anyone know what's going on? The reason listen for it's untrustworthiness is "Fake clone: (Crafted with cunning intent to ensnare unsuspecting users through deliberate deception)."
