What is your EDC (Every Day Carry) for pirating? You can be as specific or as general as you want.
For me, a newb, it is my GP6a.mostly have YMusic (download music/vids) and Tachiyomi(download manga/comics).
What is your EDC for pirating and teach us your ways!
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk…
I’ve been back in pirating for almost 2 years now yet my setup is really basic, just qbittorrent, 1337x and a VPN (not really necessary, but may become in the near future because… National politics) Ive just bought a server and think of upping my game with the -arr “suite” and jellyfin (which I’ve set up, but I didn’t host anything) I’m just too lazy and it’s too easy to just open 1337x and search for a torrent.
If nothing else, use Sonarr! Once you add a tv series to the monitored list, it’ll automatically search/find/send the latest episode to your torrent client. There’s something special about not having to think about it. Movies are pretty hit-or-miss, I’ve had Back To The Future on deck for a while now, but all it’s finding are Blu-ray files too big for my zimaboard to transcode.
I’m thinking about getting a Zimaboard as well (for full *arr suite with media streaming to my TV) - how do you like it so far? How is your experience with media streaming (Pley or jellyfin) with files other than big blu-ray files?
Check you quality profiles, and filesize setting.
This used to happen to me. Now I have a setting for either 1080/2k and 15gb max file size and if that doesn’t get hits I set it to any or 720 and take whatever it gives.
I started using a rbp3 with librelect or whatever and had trouble with playback. So I moved to a used mini office PC off eBay and use Kodi on Ubuntu or fedora. (Ubuntu has easier access to some of kodis packages.) I had to build some packages for fedora Kodi addons. Windows would probably be easiest but I find it harder to navigate with a miniremote.
