What can be (realisticly) improved for a better and easier experience
Honestly? Resurrection of Rarbg. That site was gold.
That was the cleanest and most curated movie site I have ever come across, honestly a big loss to have them gone. Consistent naming scheme, amazing torrent video quality (unlike low bitrate YTS), icons/logos to show what medium the rip was from. Literal gold
filenames following the standards of library apps like jellyfin, plex, etc.
i don’t want every file to be named “[ASDF]some.shitty.show.S3E7.MULTI(360p h264 7.1 dual audio).mkv”
jellyfin can’t identify most of these, and the relevant information can be found out easily by tapping properties (in windows, anyway)
Give FileBot a try. I liked it so much, I even bought the license. It works really well.
been using antrenamer, filebot looks like it’s gonna make my job much easier.
the next time i’m reorganizing my (3TB btw) library, i’ll give it a try.
A way to fairly pay the original content creator.
If I really enjoy a movie, series or music, I often actually want to send the actual creator some money to reward their creativity. May be just a dollar, may be ten. But I can’t.
But I can’t
You sure?
I don’t pay for movies or series of (I just don’t). But when I like some music (bands, producers, or even a record label) I end up buying some physical records or merchandising. If you don’t care about that, the most direct way is to go to Bandcamp and buy something on friday. People often want to put a price on their work, and not just “a dollar” like it’s your spare change, but there are several options and websites to do it.
With games I do the same but in Steam.
Better matching with dubbed versions of non-English shows. I have to manually search, since the “language” isn’t English in the original, even though there’s an English dub. Using Sonarr
More people to get in to I2P.
What is I2P?
Fully anonymouse and FREE P2P network great for torrenting and somewhat encouraged even.
For TMDB to end their stupid policy of setting broadcast episode order as the default. Any app that uses them for metadata to match files names ends up with wrong episodes because obviously nobody wants broadcast order.
More I2P torrenting support
Better music support. Movies and TV do great through the *arrs and Jellyfin, but music is a big mess.
agreed then I would be able to drop my last subscription being tidal
At least we have Musicbrainz.
But a big part of that problem come from the legacy time.
Just see how many releases were made for old bands like ACDC…Lidarr works ok
More VR porn 😸
A different, better protocol for sharing. Torrent is cool but files on it tend to die off, and also can’t be updated. I’m thinking something like syncthing might be the future.
Being able to find and complete certain torrents. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong anymore, but I used to be able to copy and paste the hash into a search engine and complete seeders for a torrent that got stalled. Now it seems like it does nothing and I’m stuck forever. :(
Get better trackers
I really want IPFS to go mainstream. It solves a lot of problems with piracy and the internet in general. But people started thinking it was a blockchain thing, and I haven’t heard much about it since then. Libgen uses it but that’s the only place I’ve seen it be embraced.
Would love to find old Canadian sketch comedy. CBC doesn’t release much in the way of physical media. Thankfully, most if not all of Red Green is on youtube, but the vast majority of Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne & Shuster, 22 Minutes, etc is rotting away in the CBC archives. Maybe there’s a couple episodes here and there on archive.org but there are zero torrents.
Not always, but occasionally I have issues with playing a video and the language not being my preferred (English). Either the video doesn’t have English audio or it’s not the default. Not a biggie but it can waste some time if there’s no talking for the first few min and my family isn’t used to navigating audio settings.
VLC lets you set automatic audio preference matching, so that you type in “eng” in the settings, and it will try and pick an audio track that has “eng” in it’s title, great for multi-lang media but doesn’t work for stuff like commentary tracks rarely.
Thanks, I didn’t know that was a VLC setting. It’d be nice if there was some type of standard for language and audio tracks etc. so there’s less chance of error due to free typing the name of a track.
Torrent search engine would be a great start, similar like qbittorrent search plugins
Liiiiike…Prowlarr and jackett?
Yup, but in web not in apps (like Torrentz) & can index all torrent from all website similar like google but for torrent
