Other people have kind of touched on this already, but clients prioritize connections based on stability and speed so things like seedboxes often get utilized more than your average home client to saturate a downloading connection.

I also noticed that my max upload speed is much less (e.g. 2MB/s) than what I get with speedtest (e.g. 7MB/s)

Again, other people have touched on some bottlenecks that can cause this (y’all are good lol), but clients also have a bit of connection overhead that will ultimately affect your maximum upload speed to peers at a varying degree. Here’s some details, if it helps:

Overhead- Additional data used and required for communication and coordination between sender and receiver that is not part of the payload data actually being transferred.

Is there someone who solves my subtitle issue?

Yes! Bazarr is specifically made to make this task completely automated. Other people have mentioned Radarr and Sonarr, there’s also prowlarr/jackett for adding uploaders to grab from. I’m using this setup, along with overseerr to handle grab requests, and as soon as I click a button to request media it usually shows up in 10-20 minutes on the server with subtitles. If you’re interested in setting any of this up feel free to DM me!

Alternatively some great folks have been working on something potentially even better that uses Debrid to speed up the time it takes for the media to be on your server: https://lemmy.world/post/6196363

I have barely looked into this and I really couldn’t say anything for sure, but you might be able to use that+Bazarr to accomplish the same thing.

I don’t disagree with your definitions of legality, but I do disagree fundamentally that ripping a movie should be under the same umbrella of piracy if the intent is not to distribute.

Even blurays that offer a bonus “digital copy” are redeemed through a third-party that packs it with DRM so you can’t use it for your own media server. How are they even supposed to enforce this absolute assanine law that I can’t watch the damn movie that I bought on my own terms?

How about Prowlarr too? The site looks great

It looks like they do tracker requests through their discord: https://discord.com/channels/264387956343570434/1066174962622287874

Yeah those claims are a slanderous distraction. The Patriot Act gave the government legal jurisdiction to spy on citizens because the terms were so vague, they just didn’t reveal that was part of the intent at the time. Also the draft of the bill that was presented to Congress to vote on had omitted several, incredibly powerful words that mysteriously appeared in later versions of the bill once it was passed. What a weird coincidence. /s

But part of Snowden’s whistleblowing was unveiling that the NSA was spying on citizens before the Patriot Act was passed. The Bush administration had already made an executive order for Congress to sign off on it. Which by the way, Nancy Pelosi was a part of. Even more reason to dislike her.

Edit to clarify: I learned all of this from a documentary I watched a ways back, but I don’t remember the name of it. I may be slightly misremembering some of the facts, take that as you may.

Gamers will never be mature or have realistic expectations. They cannot fathom that people are enjoying a thing they don’t like, and they’re very vocal about it, it’s petty, really.

You want people to have more mature discussions but then disavow any nuance in the same breath. Do you not see how this is a contradiction?

To attribute this most recent failure to an overabundance of hardware variety is a joke. This issue persists on all Nvidia and Intel cards. Why? Because it’s an oversight pertaining to one thing they all share in common: their shared interaction with DirectX.

Let me repeat myself for the people in the back. The number of items they had to account for with this failure is one. One API.

Yeah, exactly. I’m getting tired of this too. Even with all of the evidence in the world that this issue is halving game performance people are still dismissing it. $1000 dollars worth of performance I paid for down the drain and yet “a smooth 60 FPS” is enough justification for people.

It’s like if somebody sold you a full-priced V8 that had 4 of the cylinders not firing and your peers telling you to deal with it because “at least it runs”.

Other people in these comments have been reporting Starfield crashes, some of which “brick a character” apparently if it happens on an exit save (which you can’t opt out of lol). Any sentiment of “it could be worse” just weakens our position as consumers IMO.

By the standard of being playable, I get that. But I’m not here to mince words. When you zoom out and look at the big picture, this one incorrectly used driver call turns a 3080ti into a 2060. A $1000 difference in performance. Defending Bethesda is just going to make future issues worse and worse.

If you wouldn’t call having your performance more than halved dogshit, I don’t really give a fuck what you have to say.

🤦 So you’ll just continue to ignore overwhelming evidence and get defensive. It’s ironic you’d call them special.

Give it up mate, even the first rudimentary workaround more than doubled the FPS people have been getting. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1530726-starfield-now-runs-twice-as-fast-on-linux-compared-to-windows/

It’s not just “some guy”, it’s a translation layer developer posting all of his findings on his git: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/commit/88e4f300cc0b5b6f0880c1233d562cf506b546fb

It’s also verified by Proton users noting a marked increase in performance with just a code commit. I’d urge anyone not to listen to this troll and go have a look.

I’m eagerly awaiting the radio silence from all the people blaming it on obsolete hardware lol

Overall I like the game though, it has a lot of very entertaining ideas.

I think every time I’ve heard about the plex smart TV app it has not been positive lol

Gonna be honest, I don’t know the exact logistics behind plex transcoding and what resources it may or may not use on the client and I’ve never tried a smart TV app as a client. I’m really not in a place to comment on it. But I can attest to having no issues when transcoding lossless formats to windows or the Nvidia shield.

I have not experienced this with any lossless transcodes and my friends streaming remote haven’t said anything about it. What client are you using to watch media?

I just decided to bite the bullet on paying for a Synology DS920+ and I don’t regret it at all. For media hosting on my scale, 4K direct or 1080p transcodes to 6 or less concurrent streams, it does everything I need it to do and it has pretty decent software.

I’ve been using glueten + BT in a docker-compose stack for a year and would highly recommend it for being fast, highly customizable, and 0 risk.
