Slightly confused by your last point, about the org itself, could you expand?

The Organisation? No, it’s not paid work.

This seems to imply to me that the organisation could never be “hurt” because it’s volunteer run, which I doubt is what you were saying.

I don’t think people hate discord as a host for some communities, but there definitely is a growing rejection of it among FOSS contributors.

It sucks as a place to store knowledge. The search sucks, it’s not indexable by search engines, and requires an account to use. As another commenter on this post said, it combines the worst parts of IRC and webforums.

There are better ways to organise a FOSS project, and people are unhappy that some projects still choose discord.

Whilst it would be lovely if us Englishmen didn’t have student loans, they could be a whole lot worse. We only pay them once we earn over a certain threshold, and they’ll disappear after 30 years. Plus our unis are funded in large part by international students (which has its own issues), so Brits’ course fees are slightly subsidised.

Not good, but hey at least it’s not the US(!)

I dont know what it’s like where you live, but in the UK, we get a decent number of ads around Christmas from the Dogs Trust telling people a dog is not just for Christmas. I don’t think it’s that weird that people make the association between dogs being adopted near Christmas and dogs being abandoned shortly after.

Edit: accidentally posted this twice, hence the deleted comment in this thread

Other than being able to transcode, not really. You could probably instead set up a proxy for AD’s sftp/webDAV so only one connection/ip is active at a time

If OP’s already using jellyfin/plex, alldebrid provides a webDAV server which you can mount with rclone. You can then make symlinks from that mount to your media library.

Yep, those are 2 different ways to turn media requests from users into something oldx/jellyfin can use.

Might be worth noting that real debrid’s webDAV implementation (the protocol that lets you access the files in your mount) is a little funky, and might get very slow for large libraries (over 1k links), so itsToggle (author of plex_debrid) has a fork of rclone to fix this. There’s also a new project called zurg from the debrid-media-manager people, but it’s closed source, and the devs don’t intend on making it open source.

One way is to use rclone to mount your Real Debrid link onto your server and run plex/Jellyfin using the remote media. That way all your clients talk to the server, so you’ve only got one connection to RD

RDT-client implements the qBittirrent api so you can point radar/sonar at it, and it will make symlinks from your mount to a structured media directory

Plex_debrid is a python script which is a standalone method to get media onto RD. It can take requests from your plex watchlist or ombi/overseerr and will search trackers to grab the release. As plex is less fussy about the file structure of your media, you can just point plex straight at your mount.

They dont. You can ask them though, at least in my country (UK)

You’d be lucky to get breast though. IIRC from the time I worked there, 2/14 pieces are breast per chicken, and if people specify, they usually want breast, so there aren’t many left.

Sorry maybe I’ve misunderstood your stack. The “typical” plex_debrid stack has the debrid mounted via WebDAV using rclone so plex/jellyfin/whatever can see the stuff on your debrid as though it was a local file, only downloading bits of each file as they’re requested.

The option I suggested lets rclone download to your disk as a cache, which I found mae the experience much smoother

What args have you passed to rclone? I found setting ‘—vfs-cache-mode full drastically improved streaming performance
