    if it’s a relatively modern show, QxR. if it’s an ongoing show, and I’m trying to get the episodes as they come, I’ll just wait for the first 1080px265 available. it’s usually ELiTE

      I’ve had MeGusta at top weight for quite a while (years I think), should probably try ELiTE, wonder what the bitrate diff is…

    Idk I put it into Radarr and it grabs it automatically. I mark it failed and it tries again if it’s bad.

      But you had to set up trackers to begin with…

      Edit: Wait, they’re not talking about trackers. Nevermind!

        I run prowlarr and added a handful of en-us public movies trackers. Sometimes this results in duplicate results on a search, but any time I have to take manual action, it’s very obvious and easy to skip.

    I’m probably in the minority, but I like the Epsilon remuxes and then compress it myself to av1 with ffmpeg. DTS-HD MA track goes to opus. I keep the English subtitles as-is.

        You absolutely could automate it, but I personally enjoy making the encodes, so I don’t. Especially with movies, sometimes you use opus but on a select few, like the Dune movies, I keep the original atmos audio because it makes the movie experience better imo.

        But for tv series, my ffmpeg settings are pretty static so it would be trivial to automate that.

          Good point, but if I’m going to the bother of transcoding remuxes to AV1, I’ll probably knock up a script, at least for the first while.

    I don’t really care about the name attached to the file (I’m more interested in quality and compatibility). Usually it seems to be something by NTFS (Not Here To Fuck Spiders), SuccessfulCrab, EDITH or ETHEL.

    I don’t know how Joy gets such quality from small files, but damn.
