Anybody else find downloading and sorting shows relaxing or therapeutic? Downloading a whole season of something, sorting, renaming with FileBot, adding to Plex... all very calming. Going through my library creates the same feeling

permalink

[-] debian420 | 2 points | Feb 23 2018 09:28:02

Yes. I know exactly how you feel. (I think) =)

Though for me it's a different process -- I find it soothing to tweak and refine my assorted shell scripts run out of cron, which then download all the papers I've queued for the day from sci-hub, then get the metadata, update the central database as well as filesystem, then another set of scripts looks at my megadl queue (i keep a queue because I'm always hitting the bandwidth limit without it, the queue causes my downloads to resume once the limit is lifted)

But yeah, I think I know the feeling. I always have a calm but smug demeanor after I've made some slight tweak to the organizational scripts or when I occasionally log in to watch them do their holy work. ;-)

I also get the same feeling whenever I finish acquiring "the complete works of $FOO". There's something singularly reassuring about knowing "well now I have all of it, in case I ever need any of it."

There's something wrong with us. laughs | Megalinks MegaDB laughs

Oh man in December I downloaded like 30 gigs of ebooks, it was such a great feeling to just see all these complete works from publishers or authors. I'm not quite as far as you are script-wise, I still do most downloading (from this sub at least) by hand, but picking and choosing what I want is part of the therapeutic thing for me. Looking at PlexPY and seeing the numbers for everything I've downloaded and knowing I chose each item by hand is immensely satisfying to me

permalink

[-] debian420 | 2 points | Feb 23 2018 15:53:38

30GB of ebooks??!!? | Megalinks MegaDB 30GB of ebooks??!!? that's... wow. that kinda boggles my mind. Are you a super reader or is it just because of the archival disease we have?

But I guess on the other hand I tend to accumulate more music than I'll ever have time to listen to, and also I really like getting large useful scientific datasets. always for projects that i'll likely never finish.

And I still do the selection of stuff myself, I don't autoget everything i can (I'd run out of disk...). I just have scripts to automate the mechanical, the menial parts, like remembering to restart a mega download once enough time has passed, or renaming a PDF so that the filename matches the title of the paper. But the picking and choosing I have to do myself. After all, who else would be as qualified? ;-)

I'm a history major, and complete packs of Routledge, Cambridge, and Oxford University press made up about 20 of those gigabytes! It's basically like having my own massive reference library! Ah yeah I see what you mean, I probably need to figure out how to do that with TV shows or movies. I guess Couch Potato or Sonarr would be good places to start

You need to taste the power of ~~the dark side~~ debian linux. ;-) Once you switch, the growing reality that random crashes, inexplicable slowdowns, those are things that happen to other people... is... addictive. It's certainly a lifestyle choice that requires commitment but at this point I can't believe I used to do windows domain admin 15 years ago...

How do I play .mkv videos on my Android phone?

Hi everyone my Android can't play .mkv videos nor can and vlc freezes on an image but continues to play the sound.

Mx player is jittery.

I can convert them to mp4 but for a movie it ends up being 14.2GB.

permalink

[-] TRUMP2016BUILDWALL | 2 points | Feb 20 2018 18:38:25

It depends on your phone but vlc should be fine. You shouldn't have to convert it, just mux it to mp4. It will actually be smaller in almost all cases since you can only have one video/audio track and no subtitles

permalink

[-] MasterCoder4000 | 1 points | Feb 21 2018 06:51:49

If you mean changing the extension .mp4 that doesn't work.

permalink

[-] TRUMP2016BUILDWALL | 2 points | Feb 21 2018 14:15:44

You need to mux it

permalink

[-] MasterCoder4000 | 2 points | Feb 21 2018 14:35:11

Forgive my noob question but what does mux mean

permalink

[-] TRUMP2016BUILDWALL | 1 points | Feb 21 2018 14:36:24

Mkv is just a container. It contains mp4 video tracks, audio tracks, and subtitle tracks. Using programs like mkvtoolnixgui you can mux the file to just a mp4 file with audio

my 1st post on this particular thread. not sure about these two mega alternatives,but https://www.quiver.net/ gives 100gb free storage plus they have an Android app. https://www.transip.nl/stack this one gives you 1000 gb free storage but it's in Dutch. have not tried both coz slow internet and only have a smartphone, but your thoughts would be great.

[-] debian420 | 1 points | Feb 23 2018 10:10:46

I agree that I would love some alternative to mega. Every so often, about twice a year, I try to run the numbers on if it's financially feasible for me or us to roll our own, using cloud storage and off shore VPS, but the bandwidth costs always end up being the killer.

Backblaze B2 is a dream to work with, and cheaper than anything else I've seen, yet they charge 2cents/GB on network egress.

My most recent half baked idea was maybe people would be willing to run some form of crypto miner while downloading, and the rates could be calculated so that the whole system is self sustaining... But I have no idea how willing people would be to run a background miner just to download large files.
