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

All the Mythbusters episodes will all the fluff removed.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 24 points 11 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

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Better? Yeah, the fluff is gone, but I've seen better quality streaming from a potato.

[-] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 82 points 11 months ago

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 34 points 11 months ago

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 34 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

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 19 points 11 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 12 points 11 months ago

There's a 65 GB pack on archive.org

[-] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 11 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] ItsaB3AR@sh.itjust.works 72 points 11 months ago

So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

[-] KrokanteBamischijf@feddit.nl 26 points 11 months ago

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 28 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Voyager@psychedelia.ink 23 points 11 months ago

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:

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

That's why Jesus invented VPNs.

[-] vasco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 11 months ago

I thought it was Budda.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

They co-authored it.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Swell guys they are. Although Jesus could have done without leaving behind his cult... they have been awfully destructive throughout history...

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

so it is settled!

[-] stom@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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 7 points 11 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 5 points 11 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 4 points 11 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 71 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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 23 points 11 months ago

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

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 28 points 11 months ago

International rates vs domestic, if I had to guess.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 51 points 11 months ago

Also licensing deals can be country-specific

[-] _number8_@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

there should be a wordwide fair trade pact

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

Dude, trade between countries is extremely difficult and complicated. There isn't a world wide set trade for anything.

You'd think there could be, but it's just not realistic.

[-] Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

The gap is too wide to agree, even between europe and the US there is a radically opposite stance between pro- and anti-consumer rights.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 11 months ago

It would be like the Trans Pacific Partnership, strengthening IP and DRM.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

This is the reason.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

Licensies

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 11 months ago

Licensing issues basically.

[-] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Licensing deals usually.

Next time get high after doing the troubleshooting ;)

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 months ago

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 11 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 11 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 11 months ago

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 4 points 11 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.
