I’m curious what retropie would look like on a CRT. Would it need the overlays still or look like the original?

There’s a reason why they’re so cheap compared to the hardware contained within them.

I’ve had good luck with it for years in comparison to Samsungs junk. I only briefly tried LGs when I bought my C3 but fell back to the Roku because it’s simpler to use (as a CEC device to turn on the audio receiver and change inputs automatically) and syncs between other Rokus. It also has the least amount of issues with Plex and all my Linux ISOs since they’re in varying formats that don’t always play nice with other clients (like the god damned POS Xbox client).

I understand there’s a lot of tracking and phoning home but it’s the least worst option in my experience.

They just produced this interesting discussion that I consumed for entertainment. What about me?

I can’t give you much technical help, but I’m fairly certain that if you’re seeing washed out colors on an HDR rip, it means Plex isn’t actually playing in HDR and is instead transcoding it down to SDR as this is (or at least used to be) a common issue with it.

If you check the administrator tab in a browser to see the playback information for the stream (or with something external.like Tautulli), does it show that the file is being direct played? That’s where I’d start. It could be something with the file, subtitle usage, Plex itself, the client you’re using it watch the file, or a network issue that’s causing the problem. I used to ignore HDR content entirely as I had similar issues, but with the TCL and LG TVs we have now, both using Roku, HDR content plays (locally) without issue. Remote play doesn’t work but that’s because we have atrocious upload speeds with Comcast.

By locking new posts?

This is what I was going to suggest too. It should be pretty effective.

That’s what irritates me about people like OP’s argument. I vaped to get off cigarettes but I don’t necessarily want to quit nicotine. They conflate all the terrible aspects of smoking with vaping and then point to people not quitting vaping as “proof” that it doesn’t work. Not everyone who picks up vaping is trying to quit nicotine.

The logic is flawed here because vapor and smoke are completely different things. You wouldn’t conflate the steam coming off a pot of boiling water with the charred remains of that frozen pizza you forgot about in the oven an hour ago would you?

Well at least when they fully ban flavors for us adults, we can drink away our problems with the cotton candy and birthday cake vodka that’s stocked in every liquor store across the country.

It does work without port forwarding but only because the person on the other end has port forwarding active. You can’t connect to anyone that doesn’t have it set up.

No, it only uses what you’ve configured it to use and I have those set up alongside the private trackers on my setup. I assumed you were getting those random tracking urls from a public site like that but that doesn’t appear to be the case. As I said I can’t imagine where they would come from since I’ve never seen a private tracker that allows uploads with extra third-party trackers attached. Maybe you’re looking in the wrong spot on QBit?

That’s odd then. I’m also in TorrentLeach and all those show up correctly along with Ather and Blutopia. The only time I see random stuff is when sonarr/radarr grabs something from TPB or 1337x. I just go to the radarr category, for example, and them sort by date and then sort by tracker so that they’re in chronological order by tracker and delete things that are old with plenty of seeders.

I can’t imagine how you’re unable to see the tracker URLs since QBit needs them to find the files and private trackers use private URLs to prevent people from cheating on their ratio.

Without it, you won’t be able to connect to other peers unless they have port forwarding active. If enough people torrent without port forwarding, the whole system breaks down.

I mean can anyone really hold a copyright on shit? It just comes out of our butts.

How is this guy seeing users IP addresses?

How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?

I’m not defending their argument but they’re saying that a VPN is like paying for a second ISP to hide traffic from the first not that you’re paying for someone else’s ISP like the seeder of a torrent.

Mullvad isn’t good for torrenting anymore since they don’t have port forwarding but that probably doesn’t apply if you’re using Usenet, streaming, or some other form.

All those latter files are probably from public trackers since they’re showing random URLs. I do like the other person suggested and just sort by tracker within the sonarr/radarr categories. If you don’t use those categories, sonarr and radarr won’t be able to find them in qbit. What I’ve also done is to create additional categories for each of my private trackers and then I just move the files over to those categories once they’ve been imported in my libraries, so I can seed them for as long as I like.

You might look into Prowlarr as you can set seed requirements on an individual basis for each tracker you use and it makes adding/removing trackers from the other *arr apps very easy.
