Does Murderbot (Apple TV) have some new kind of DRM? (sh.itjust.works)

I am just going out on a limb here:

A week ago I downloaded e1 and e2 via my private tracker of murderbot. My setup is that my jellyfin library directly points to the downloads folder for TV shows. This has always worked in the past, but now last week for murderbot e1 and e2 and now again this friday for e3, jellyfin only recognizes the file but cannot pull any metadata and is somehow unable to stream it to any of my clients.

I haven't tried any usual troubleshooting steps yet since I was really busy this past week, but was wondering if this is some Apple mechanism to hinder piracy.

Thoughts?

And this is exactly why qBitTorrent allows you to exclude file types. I have a pretty extensive list of excluded file types, specifically because there are lots of malicious torrents that try the old Limewire trick of “{movie}.avi.exe” to trick people into running them. Even if Sonarr grabs a malicious torrent, it simply won’t download anything.

And then I have Cleanuperr running, which periodically checks to see if there are any empty torrents queued. If it finds a torrent that isn’t downloading anything (like a {movie}.avi.exe one) then it deletes it, and tells Sonarr/Radarr to blacklist it and retry the search.

Yea, I wish transmission did that too. Qbittorrent kept randomly soft crashing on me. It'd work fine for weeks, but suddenly all new torrents added wouldn't start downloading. I'd think it was the torrent, so I'd grab a handfull of alternatives, but nada. Reboot qbittorrent and it was fine and suddenly I'd have half a dozen copies of what I wanted. It was frustrating, plus the ui on mobile was bad. Vuetorrent was awesome though.

I'll look at cleanuperr that looks helpful.

Interesting. I haven’t experienced anything like that, but I also have my server scheduled to automatically reboot once a week at like 4AM. Maybe that keeps it from soft crashing?
