And?
Don't pretend like there are no parallels between trying to figure out a source for something that has long since stopped being seeded, and where to order a disk.
Or that putting in an online order is any more complex that making a request on ombi.
Or that there are no disks out there with content no one has ever ripped.
youre seriously saying that working through the process of finding, purchasing, obtaining via shipping and then finally ripping the disk is 'just as easy' as typing a name into an automation system??
youre just flat out wrong. i have volumes of material that have never been on disk ever, and never will be
No. Where did you get that idea from? When did I say it was more better?
I said it could be convenient, in some cases the best option, and sometimes rarely the only option.
Find me an automated system that can find and download a copy of finnish TV series "Pakanamaan Kartta" that I have on my Jellyfin server, and we'll talk.
ahh i see
ive put shit on my torrenting list that were there for years before it popped up again was downloaded. and then, ive purchased home made vhs copies of shit that just doesnt exist anymore. so i get where youre comin from
