i like collecting any available extras, featurettes, commentary tracks, etc with any movie or show in my library, but more often than not i have a pretty hard time finding them. i know they're sometimes on youtube, but it's very hit and miss, especially with newer movies; and as they're often included in bluray, iso rips usually have them but i'm not particularly knowledgeable on how they work to be able to rip only the extras.

so i guess the question is: is there any tracker/forum/other source that hosts extras (either with the movie itself bundled in or not)? any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram. In a row that seemed ready to boil over last year, Telegram was given an ultimatum by the Malaysian government; come to the negotiating table or face the consequences. A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

I've been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I'm finding online is people using nvidia cards...well, I don't have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that's extremely uncommon and I can't find any working solutions.

Edit: I'm running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

Edit 2: I've gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

Last week, new footage of Marvel's upcoming 'Captain America: Brave New World' appeared online. The film is due to be released in 2025 but the allegedly leaked material, posted in an Instagram story by a well-known 'scooper', clearly has Disney and Marvel concerned. Through a DMCA subpoena, the movie companies aim to find out who's behind the social media account.

Until I read someone mentioning them on Facebook, but the comment was removed shortly after.

What are these apps, and are they really good and usable on a Fire Stick TV Lite? Is the content they provide comparable to the top online streaming watch online (pirate) websites?

I was going to sell the fire stick and use my PC with an HDMI cable, but I may think twice now.

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former's app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access exclusive videos for more money. Basically pay money once, and then pay more money for more content.

Okay, one could argue atleast the above goes to a channel's creators and helps them. How would one say then that the Youtube app still doesn't have a systemwide option to choose video quality for all videos. New Pipe had that option long ago, but Youtube thinks it's user base are immature who need to be coddled with only two options like "High" and "Data Saver".

Despite having a Premium thing, I finally crossed over to a Newpipe fork Tubular [available on F Droid] today simply because the paying experience on Youtube Mobile is so bad. I can't fathom how bad it would be for free customers using the official app.

Hi all,

Oftentimes, video files I download only include six-channel audio (i.e. 5.1). Using Tdarr, I transcode the video files and create a stereo audio channel from the surround channel.

At present, qBittorrent seems to seed these re-encoded files without complaint but if I force a recheck, it'll overwrite my newly-encoded files with the original. I'm concerned that my seeding these altered files is 'harming' the pool somehow but I am not sure?

An easy solution to this would be to keep two copies of each re-encoded file on my hard drive, so I watch the version with the stereo audio and seed the original. However, I do not have a lot of storage and would ideally minimize the copies I have of each file.

So, to sum-up, I suppose my question is: am I harming the torrent pool by seeding these altered versions? Or, if I want to be a responsible torrenter, do I need to keep duplicate versions, at least until my share ratio is 1:1?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Thank you to all those who took the time to comment and upvote. I've setup a 'pipeline' for seeding unaltered originals.

Copyright holders can claim damages for copyright infringements that occurred years or even decades ago, the U.S. Supreme Court has clarified. In a majority decision, the Court rejected the lower court's argument that there's a three-year time limit for damages. Older claims are fair game, as long as the lawsuit is filed within three years of 'discovering' an infringement.

A copy of the Supreme Court Decision, written by Justice Elena Kagan, is available here

I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts.

Do you use your torrent machine to do other things besides torrenting, signing into personal accounts and stuff?

I recently got into fighting games (like: kof - street fighters - Mortal Kombat - Guilty Gear...etc). Now you can pirate the game, and you can play it online with someone if the two of you agree on using same pirated copy and Hamachi for example, but where do you meet these people to play with? are there dedicated forums for online games lobbies?

I don't even know how people with steam copies find opponents online, I just see them mention "the steam lobbies". But from observing people's reviews on their online experience with kof XIII, I understood that it overwhelmingly sucks.

I took fighting games as example here cuz I already know fps games like Counter-Strike 1.6 have sufficient sites like this: https://www.gametracker.com/search/cs/

I remember we used to play pirated Yu-Gi-Oh! using Hamachi, organized through facebook groups, so is that the only hope for these situations? praying to find a facebook group for organized matches of your niche?

Anti-piracy outfits come in all shapes and sizes but the new venture 'IP House' aims to stand tall and above all. Headed by a former ACE/MPA boss, with a veteran U.S. federal law enforcement chief at his side, the private-equity-backed company positions itself as the 'haute couture' of global intellectual property enforcement. >

I have almost all extensions installed and most of them are working according to Cloudstream's own provider provider, but when I do a search (for example, Batman) it only returns 3 results from 3 providers, does anyone else have this problem?

My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours.

How can i fix this?
