I have already paid for Plex lifetime and Jellyfin doesn't run on TNAS (or at least my TNAS).

Thanks for the tip! Looking into it now that you recommended it. It looks like it is auto renaming files based on their existing names and not based on "fingerprint." How would this differ from FileBot? If I had a folder that I ripped to (local harddrive) would it watch it, rename and move it to the media server automatically (given I named the episodes appropriately)?

Media Organizer Recommendations - not a pirate (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

What software do you recommend to automate or assist organizing digital media?

My household has a lot of discs that I have been tasked with making available on the local network. Movies, TV shows, music, audio, and even photo negative scans. We live in an area that torrenting is not an option, but making copies of discs you own for personal use if legal. Also, many of these discs are not mainstream media.

I often see recommendations to use radarr or lidarr, but I assumed the "arr" means pirate and that's not what I'm looking to do.

Currently I am using a mix of MakeMKV, Handbrake, DVDFab, Filebot, and Plex. DVDFab is pretty good with movies, and Filebot is pretty good with TV shows, but it's still a lot of manual work and even still sometimes Plex grabs the wrong episode. I'm also underwhelmed with the way Filebot treats forced subtitles, and my overall ability to access and label special features off these discs.

I've run across a few software that will analyze music to identify it, is there anything similar for movies or TV shows?

I have about 30TB of media scanned in and compressed to HEVC or opus already with another few thousand discs to go. I'd be interested in options to backup/stream ISO's for movies, but only if I can delete the ads and other junk.

I'm currently using Windows 11 and TNAS, but I can setup my desktop to dual boot Linux if I need to. (Must retain Windows for work). I'd be open to something along the lines of Zappiti but all the links on their website are broken so I assume they are out of business.

Only a year ago I was doing tech support for DARPA. Yeah, no. they're still running Windows 7. A year prior to that I was doing some design work for the Pentagon and a lot of their computers are still Windows XP. You'd be woefully surprised how much is still running on COBAL

I paid mine off. Auto-pay is still withdrawing and I'm getting late notices in the mail. Incompetent greedy fucks.

They have secured the constructors and the drivers championships. They want Perez at P2, no reason to pull him this season

Curved shields are better against spears, arrows, and light swords. Flat are cheaper and better against axes, flails, heavy swords, pikes, and blunt force body attacks.

I get what you are saying here, but in this case you are mistaken. Are athletes sportspeople? Yes. But so are officials and broadcasters and coaches. There were awards for them as well.

Opportunity cost, possibly. They might be remastering it and wish to sell it at a higher cost, or think they can get more money through a different retailer.

Plex Alternative - MP4 as audio only (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Does anyone know of a self hosted media streaming service similar to Plex that will allow me to stream videos as audio only? Or better yet, to be able to sync/download them as audio only?

I have been going through and ripping hundreds of discs and hosting them on Plex, but my gf likes listening to shows while she sleeps and I like listening to movies while I commute.

Having the ability to use less data, less phone storage, and not have the screen on would be great.

Our solutions so far are: For movies, use external player of vlc and select audio only. For TV shows this will not play the next episode so I have a batch file I run that uses ffmpeg to extract the audio tracks and relabel them such that TV franchises are "Artists," TV shows are "Albums," seasons are "Discs" and episodes are "Tracks"

But this is still a bit of pain, I was wondering if anyone knew of apps that could do this natively.
