There's a better way (sorry for reddit link)

All the Mythbusters episodes will all the fluff removed.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 23 points 8 months ago

This is awesome, and also, I'm impressed someone posted a magnet link on Reddit of all places and hasn't been taken down

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 73 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I just have a "channel" on my plex (I use DizqueTV to setup the fake TV channel) that has a random continuous playlist of Mythbusters, Top gear + all the spinoffs and classic specials, Junkyard wars, classic robot wars, etc etc..

[–] chepox@sopuli.xyz 33 points 8 months ago (2 children)

DizqueTV you say.... Onto the high seas to look for more info and understand what this is and why I need it...

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 8 months ago

its just an app you run next to plex that lets you make fake TV channels with your own content. good for those "I don't know what to watch" times where you just want to click a button and shut your brain off.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Another one is ErsatzTV. They allow you to create your own 'TV channels' based on stuff in your library.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know I wanted this, but now I need to have it.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Just a fair warning, if you already use the LiveTV option with a TV Tuner or IPTV, I have yet to find a way to get them blended together with the fake TV channels in the guide on Plex even with xTeve outputting a valid m3u/xmltv. It's either one or the other unfortunately.

Emby did work correctly so I'm assuming it'll also work correctly in Jellyfin too.

I have been looking for high-quality video of Junkyard Wars for years. I found one torrent once of like 320x240 rips of a singe season. It's miserable.

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 8 months ago

yea, sadly a lot of shows from those times were never released on decent formats, so all we have are poor broadcast rips, some of them from VHS, and occasionally a DVD encode made in 2003.

[–] pulverizedcoccyx@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 months ago

There's a 65 GB pack on archive.org

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 months ago

There is a complete pack of Junkyard wars / scrapheap challenge, but most of it is pretty poor quality, even the later seasons.

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Holy shit this a game changer! My man thank you!!

[–] ItsaB3AR@sh.itjust.works 57 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

[–] KrokanteBamischijf@feddit.nl 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If anything, torrents have a region boost. Provided no one has servers or seedboxes set up, you're going to benefit hugely from seeders near your location.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 21 points 8 months ago

Hot seeders in your local area, they want your bandwidth. Leech now!

[–] Voyager@psychedelia.ink 20 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Sure they don't. Just be aware that if you're using public trackers you can appear here, as some of the peers track the IPs that appear in the swarms:

That's why Jesus invented VPNs.

[–] vasco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I believe we determined that Jesus invented Buddha and Buddha invented VPNs. So, by extension we could say without Jesus, there would be no VPNs. Also, no corn chips.

[–] vasco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

so it is settled!

[–] stom@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh no! Anyway...

Edit: checked the IP of my seedbox and about 75% of the entries listed aren't valid. Weird.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 8 months ago

But also don't panic out thinking someone on your network might have been torrenting weird stuff as you may just be behind CG-NAT or have dynamically assigned IP address.
If you do have static public IP, consider the possibility of someone using your wireless connection without permission (even if you changed the password, don't forget to disable WPS PIN, or at the very least change it from default PIN, it's easy to forget about).

[–] TheWiseAlaundo@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

This is awesome. I'm looking at all the stuff my VPN mates are downloading and they have good taste.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

If you have ever connected to a DHT network your address will be associated with more things than you can count. I've been running a DHT indexer/crawler and that page shows me shit I've never seen before in my life

[–] lukas@lemmy.haigner.me 56 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

We're delighted to see you enjoy your hulu experience! Based on your experience so far, how likely are you to recommend hulu to a friend on a scale of 1 to 10?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why do these questions never start at -10? You know, likely to recommend staying away.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 42 points 8 months ago (5 children)

What even are the reasons to lock content behind living in a specific part of the world? That shit is stupid.

[–] money_loo@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

International rates vs domestic, if I had to guess.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago
[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Licensing deals usually.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 8 months ago

$$. People in Kongo wouldn't pay the prices of Switzerland.

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 1 points 8 months ago

Licensing issues basically.

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 22 points 8 months ago

Next time get high after doing the troubleshooting ;)

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Strange, it works just fine with Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid 🤔

[–] DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I sometimes use stremio + torrentio and it works great. What does real debrid add to the setup?

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Less buffering mainly. I can stream anything 4K and never have buffering issues.

Not needing a VPN is a bonus.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Exactly, I'd like to add that the catalogue is outstanding and it pretty much humiliates all the other legal streaming sites, even its interface is better than other apps (like Prime Video).

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Ran into this last night abroad too. Took me 10 mins to watch what I wanted anyway. Stupid.

[–] bestusername@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago
[–] lilcs420@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I use surfshark vpn with hulu. It works great.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

ProtonVPN and network bind interface with qbittorrent. It works great.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

I live in Australia. I used to pay for hulu ages ago, using a US credit card, but then they stopped me from using it .So the way i see it, if they don't want my money, then i won't give it to them. That's when i started pirating.
