Sometimes I want to make a comment about a film without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.
Does /r/megalinks/ support spoiler tags? I understand that it's a sub-specific feature, not a site-wide tag. Allows one, e.g., to tag part of a comment so that its contents will be visible only on mouseover.

You can just do that? thanks for trying to be polite!

Show me a working example
[-] Kill_Me_Now_World | 1 points
I thought it worked, doesn't.
Explanation about implementation (needs to be added to css for this subreddit): https://www.reddit.com/r/csshelp/comments/brj8w/some_common_simple_css_codes/
Use:
__[__This is the spoiler text__]__(__/spoiler__)__ <--- remove all underscores.
Working examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1bwzlq/steps_to_avoiding_videogame_spoilers/
We should do this. There are many ways to do this. My 3 favorites are:
1) spoiler text color and background-color are the same so you must select to the text to make it visible (selected text has it's own css color and background-color values)
2) button is present which will show or hide the spoiler text
3) spoiler text color and background-color are the same and the spoiler text is made visible on :hover or :focus. This method seems the weakest since it is easy to accidentally flash the spoiler text.
for option 1, let's say I have an entire separate paragraph of spoiler text - how does a reader know that it contains text he should select?
Options for this include:
1) A label above the block with user text that reads something like 'Spoilers Below (select text to read)'
2) If the text color and background color are both set to black then the presence of black boxes / black lines should be enough to let the user know to select the contents.
A combination of both options would be ideal so that new users, or users unfamiliar with the redacted look, could make use of the feature without needing additional help.
[-] IgnoreMyName | 1 points
I usually just say, "SPOILERS AHEAD, DO NOT READ AHEAD" and I think it works. Usually take two lines so you can't even glance at spoilers.
Would be interested in seeing others' FileBot movie renaming templates. How do you handle the complexities of renaming different cuts, release groups, etc.?
{genre}/{n} ({y}) ({genre}) {' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}
For my storage i remove all the extra stuff, i use emby's statistics to see bitrate / codec etc.
This does remove the group name but I've ran into so many issues with plex/emby not able to automatically identify things when the file name has anything other than the name.
That being said, I have seen some that work, but i don't like having to manually identify things, and even this format (with the genre) will sometimes fail at it as well.

I used to do that. But then I started deleting stuff that I always wanted to watch when I'm low on new stuff. Now I just try to keep movies that are really worth rewatching, same goes for TV shows. Like I kept Better Call Saul, because I really liked it. But I would never rewatch it. So I deleted it. I love that freed up space.
For new shows I test the water with 1-2 episodes, no need to download whole seasons if you are not really that into it.

I start watching a show and then find an even better show and watch most (sometimes all) on that other one and then find another show and completely forget which episode on which season of the first show so every time i want to watch something i think it will take too long to find where i was so i watch yet another show.
there is shows that have been cancelled unfinished that i still have i need to go through it all.

I have 8TB of movies and tv shows now, but I still have plenty room for more :D
Tell me about it, especially since x265 is so small i have a lot more shows i had planned to watch and haven't even started as yet.
I used to be one. And then one day I looked at the pile-up and decided to put an end to it. Now before downloading I ask myself, "Am I ever going to get around to watching this?" Not "do I intend to watch this?" The pile shrank by a lot. The only unwatched show I'm siting on is Sense8. It's nice to look through a folder for something to watch and not feel that smidgen of guilt for all the untouched videos that I know I'm going to keep passing over.

you have to do the entire collection with jdownloader and mega links you can't pick and choose folders... if that's what you are talking about?
For me when I paste the link to the folder, jdownloader just doesn't recognize any of the links inside the folder at all.

2 Questions....
Did Windscribe become super popular as a free VPN that it's speeds now are very, very slow? I remember when we first figured out it could be used to bypass the 5GB limit, it worked fine for me! But now I barely get 5Mpbs. Is that due to its popularity and servers can't handle it?!
And when using Megadownloader, can you exit out of it with a partially downloaded movie (like 66%), then reopen it and continue downloading? Or will the file be corrupt and not work?
[-] xXsTeffOovErkILLXx | 4 points
I don't know if you found your answer already, but mega downloads are resumable and will work. You can simply exit megadownloader, close it and open it up again, and after logging in and waiting a few seconds he will continue the download without problem. :)
[-] simplefilmreviews | 1 points
No I didn't find an answer, thank you!! For some reason I thought if you exited the program it would corrupt the file or something. So you either had to pause or stop the download but NOT exit megadownloader. That's good to know, thank you!
(That might help me with the 5GB cap)
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 2 points
I'll also add that if you're trying to get files > 5GB, just use Megasync, let it telll you your quota is up, hit pause, reconnect your vpn and then resume.
You should be back on your way downloading again. Don't need to exit it or anything
[-] simplefilmreviews | 1 points
Yeah I've tried the Windscribe VPN method, but the problem is as of late (like 3 weeks) it's given me AWFUL speeds. Like 5mbps (when I have 75mbps). I thought maybe due to its popularity its servers have become overwhelmed or something.
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 1 points
I dont use windscribe but from what I can tell they offer free and paid.
Paid offers more locations and options I'm assuming?
Have you tried servers that are semi-geographically close to you?
[-] simplefilmreviews | 1 points
Yeah Windscribe is free (or the option I use that the mods of megalinks suggested). I'm guessing so many people signed up for it once it was known to help fight the 5GB limit that it become too popular lol
Yeah I've tried close locations. More like vague 'Central USA', 'Eastern USA', 'Western Canada', etc. Maybe I just need to figure out a good time frame where people are asleep and not clogging the servers or something. (Or the obvious choice of paying for a VPN lol)
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 1 points
yeah u should try using different time zones to try and combat heavy usage times (if that is the problem vs them throttling free)
u should try using those whatismyip sites to see where your vpn endpoint actually is. I've seen ones that use the vague area but end up being no where close and the speeds suffer as a result

No but ive noticed when uploading via a browser unless the upload page is upfront then it wont upload at full speed. this is evident by the fact that it double the upload speed when i check on it. ive had to drag the chrome tab out and keep it up front on it's own window.
I now use megasync which uploads even faster all the time except when it gets an issue when its stuck at 1MB/s or lower instead of the normal 3-3.5MB/s untill i log out of megasync and log back in.

Is there another form or possibly a redditor made list of popular encoders and what to expect from them? Like ballpark how big a movie should be from that encoder, soft coded subs or not, and whether or not it will have different audio tracks for commentary?
For example I've seen the tigole/joy encodes well received here but I have tons of other movies with the ganool, funsaber, ShAaNiG, AMIABLE, or SUJAIDR tags.
Are these good versions or should I replace them? I really like to have consistency throughout my collection and seeing similarly long movies with GB's of variance in size I have to ask...
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 4 points
here's a bunch of info that you can piece together. There is no definitive list of release groups.
x264: Sparks, Drones, Amiable are all typically good. Usually in the 8-10GB range. Grym is really nice but 18GB. People tend to shy away from Yify and Xor releases as they are lower bit rate. All depends on what you're looking for
x265: Current favorite seems to be UTR group which includes Tigole, Joy, apekat (just listing a bunch of ones that have been posted recently). PSA is another one that shows up here. I can't offer much else on x265 than what you see posted as most of collection has been x264 to this point. From what I've seen so far, I am inclined to say I prefer Tigole releases for movies. Not a big enough sample size on tv shows
Different audio tracks/commentary are typically up to the encoder as well as the type of release it is. For example Wonder Woman got both a Remux (main vid/audio only) and a Full BR rip but only the remux made it here.
re: english movies/tv shows almost no one does hard subs. I wouldn't stress over subs. Proper scene releases almost always get proper srt files released by someone. Checkout subscene. The user goldenbeard does really good subs. You can search for your movie and then find the release you have and find a srt for it.
Also keep in mind that scene releases dont typically duplicate each other (ie. 2 groups dont release the same movie) The first one usually wins, unless there's a problem. 2nd/3rd etc get "nuked" and/or a "PROPER" rip is released by someone.
You should also check out https://predb.me/?page=searching to see what is released by which group.
Here's a search for wonder woman https://predb.me/?search=wonder%20woman&cats=movies-discs%2C-movies-discs%2Cmovies-hd
Granted it only lists x264 but it shows Sparks was the only release for 1080p/720p/bdrip It also shows someone got nuked as well as different foreign language versions/releases

Quick Q, If i have a one month MEGA lite account and it expires after one month and my storage limit is set back to 50gb what happens to the files I have on my hard drive that exceed the 50gb limit?
You will keep all the files in your account.
When you reach your storage limit, you will no longer be able to upload files, synchronise with MEGAsync, or receive shared folders until you upgrade or free up space.
MEGA will also start clearing your rubbish bin periodically.
[-] Frankly_George | 1 points
Also curious for the same reason.
(Also downloading like crazy to try and get everything off there before this though...)
jdownloader2 keeps putting all links in the same folder. If two different sources had a folder named season1 then jdownloader would put everything in a folder named season1 even if I try to rename it. In the worst case where the files also have the same name then some download links are replaced. Anybody ever had this problem?

If people start posting a who's good and who's not list it may drive uploaders away, if they don't appreciate appearing on one list or being left off the other. That may not be good for the sub.
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 2 points
but most of the uploaders aren't rippers/encoders. vast majority of stuff that gets posted here is either imported from some other mega link source or torrented and uploaded into mega. highly unlikely someone will get into a pissing contest over a rip they pirated in the first place
I'd venture to say there aren't any release groups on here catering to our needs. Rather just a bunch of really awesome people helping each other out
I say upload whatever you're willing to share. If we like it, we'll up vote it. If not, oh well. Your bandwidth, your time and I'm just happy to have options if multiple versions are posted
but most of the uploaders aren't rippers/encoders.
highly unlikely someone will get into a pissing contest over a rip they pirated in the first place
The source of the material doesn't matter. The point is that there is a group of people who are uploading and then posting material here. It doesn't matter that they are disorganized. Without them, the sub would be a ghost town. If they see themselves appearing on the wrong half of good guy/bad guy lists, you can bet that at least some of them will take offense and stop posting here. Why go to the trouble if the people you're trying to serve decide to spit in your eye?
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 1 points
again, the uploaders aren't the encoders. if someone decides to only upload stuff from 1 person/group that this sub starts to look down upon, maybe it isn't worth uploading in the first place (poor quality, bad encoding, etc ..)
But I've yet to see this sub shit on people that upload bad stuff. Maybe it doesn't get tons of upvotes, but I've never seen the consensus been to say "don't even bother uploading stuff from X anymore b/c it sucks" Even the yify releases get upvotes and downloads while most users here would tend to ignore those rips completely
again, the uploaders aren't the encoders.
I realize this. If someone who only posts Tigole sees a group of posts complaining about them in a feedback thread, they may decide that the sub can get its Tigole rips from somebody else. This does not improve selection on the sub.
I've yet to see this sub shit on people that upload bad stuff. Maybe it doesn't get tons of upvotes, but I've never seen the consensus been to say "don't even bother uploading stuff from X anymore b/c it sucks"
The problem with that is we have roughly 3 groups among the users here.
1 free Mega users who want <5GB files
2 users who want compressed HTPC-worthy files and don't care about 5GB
3 Lunatics who want remuxes
Groups 2 and 3 think Yify is crap? So what? Yify rips weren't made with them in mind, which kind of makes their feedback irrelevent. "Honda Civics are shit," says man who only drives Ferraris and has never bought his own groceries.
What is the benefit of driving Yify rips out of r/megalinks when there is clearly a demand for them? Why drive out Tigole, whose files aren't much bigger than Yify's and have been posted a lot recently? How does intimidating uploaders improve selection? What about an uploader who only posts rare VHS rips? Their content will never go over 480p and not many people are likely to download it. Will r/megalinks be better off if they leave after a few intemperate loudmouths decide to complain about them in a review thread?
If people don't like Yify submissions because of the quality, they can keep scrolling. If people don't like seeing Yify in the submissions list... this is the internet, grow up. Or maybe Hide the submitter instead of making a public fuss about how they are ruining r/megalinks. Giving them a soapbox is a bad idea.

Am I missing something with Tigoles 10bit x265 releases? I think they look good and are a decent size but I see others say that they are a waste of space and don't look good. What's the general consensus? They have to be decent if there is a ton of links here for it, right?
That they get submitted a lot tells you nothing about quality. Uploaders don't get screened here. The best way to answer your question is to download a couple of Tigoles' releases and decide if you like them. People who are worried about storage space and bandwidth probably love them. People worried mostly about quality probably think they suck. What are your priorities?
For home I'm trying to get all the kid stuff he(they?) release. For my Plex box I'm on the fence.

[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 1 points
based on recent posts, Tigole x265 releases are decent I would say.
The x264/x265 debate pops up every few weeks and it seems the general consensus is expect 30-50% savings space wise.
So if you're a high bit rate x264 collector (Sparks or similar) or really high bit rate (Grym) or remux/remaster just take a moment and think about the % I put above.
Tigole releases tend to be in the 2-5GB range (roughly). At 30% that would be a 3-7GB x264 and at 50% it would be a 4-10GB x264.
So ask yourself, would you grab an x264 file of the above sizes? If yes, then I'm sure they are fine. If no, then you'll probably want to move along.
For kiddie stuff (animation especially) x265 will be fine. It seems x265 does well with anime/cartoons so keep that in mind
Tigole is a single person. He/She is part of a p2p release group called UTR
As /u/Himechi mentioned, you can't draw conclusions due to the # of releases that get posted. Most of the Tigole (and UTR) releases get posted by a bunch of the same people. They may just have easy access to all the releases and are being generous/helpful
Thanks for all the info.
I read yesterday that x265 was significantly harder to decode. I think I'll end up sticking with x264 on my Plex box in order to keep overhead low. And just stick with x265 at home.
Now I just have to find a way to keep radarr and sonarr from grabbing stuff labelled HEVC or x265.

Does anyone know a community or maybe a user who would voluntarily do rip/web dl ?
Cause I’ve been looking for this tv series online but I can’t find ones with good quality. The ones that are there are some very old rips. And I recently found out that the show is available on Amazon and iTunes. I checked on the preview. And the quality was just amazing. So much better than the old files you can find on the internet. I was wondering if someone where to make rips (Web dl) ?

(Closer to node faster speeds)
Some people don't even get 25mbps cause of congestion which is a whole other load of bullshit.

Speed test using my mobile on 4g I'm not where the gigbit speed is as that's only in the city AND and my phone probably doesn't support those speeds I have a galaxy s7.

Hot damn, that's fucked up! Is this like a nationally known thing and people have been bringing it at all? Or it's pretty much set in stone for the next decade or so? Have any 'promises' been made to change this or blah blah blah stuff like that lol

Yes it's been all on the news with people complaining with things from the standard my speed sucks to dodgy installations to being completely left out from it cause according to the installation is too hard to do so they will "come back to them" after they finish the rest of the country.
They only changed from FTTP (Fibre to the premises) (what i have) cause of cost since Australia is big and a low population compared to say america but doing this they will have to upgrade sooner rather then later and do fibre the rest of the way to the house anyway.
Changes have been made but not much better they are also building (as well as FTTN (Fibre to the node)) FTTC (Fibre to the curb) so basically we have FTTP to some people FTTN to others FTTC to some others and there's also HFC which is basically upgraded Cable.
This confuse you? imagine people that have no idea and just use the internet or just the phone (old copper phone lines which adsl2+ and phones use gets disconnected 18 months after NBN becomes available whether you like it or not) like my grandmother who will has the shit FTTN luckily for her the node is literally outside her house so IF she used the internet the would get 100mbps.

That grandma example is hilarious lol! Man that's awful!
My biggest complaint is simply reliability. I pay for 60, but often times can get up to 75-80 at times which is great! BUT there are so many instances where my internet just slows to a crawl, like 5mpbs for like 10-20 minutes, A few times per day. It makes no sense and drives me crazy!
I'd rather have a steady connection 24/7 than 'good speeds' that come and go.
But Australia sounds like a mess right now lol. Bureaucracy ugh.
I have a very slow upload speed and I usually leave my phone overnight to upload some files to MEGA. I can upload around 2.2 GBs in 8 hours. But lately, MEGA app has been acting weird. I had 5 files queued up to upload and only one uploaded. I tried that again the following night, same thing happened. I tried uploading to GDrive and it worked fine. I installed an older version of the app, but to no avail. What can I do here?

When does the new thread get made? I have a request and I want to make it where it won't get lost. I think it would probably get lost in the current thread.

It's usually today or tomorrow depending on when the mods are active. sometimes they need pinging a reminder for it to be made.

I see that some people are downvoting requests. WTF is wrong with you? You deserve to be banned from this sub-reddit.
[-] Kill_Me_Now_World | 4 points
we have a request thread... maybe you saw post outside it?
I believe that's actually a side effect of the devs past efforts to keep r/The_Donald from spamming itself to the front page, which was a chronic problem during and after the American election. Posts throughout reddit automatically get some ratio of downvotes as a kind of balancing tool.

As an extension of that, the answer to "would anyone be interested in..." threads should be automatically removed. The answer is always yes.

Yes, just upload it and somebody will download it. Or not. Annoys me even more then the casual META threads.
