okay. Thanks. Gonna give it a go. It seems to be the one everyone is using.

I was just looking at this. Do you typically run it behind a VPN or do you expose your actual IP?

 

I'm looking to download a number of educational youtube videos for future reference. Looking for a reliable way to download videos. OS is Ubuntu. FF extensions and docker containers all good. I don't really want to install an executable on bare metal unless it is a flatpak.

My goal is for the downloaded videos to be accessed locally via jellyfin. Jellyfin is already sorted.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

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.

This is so great. Thanks for sharing.

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.

The irony of posting a font piracy guide in a place that only supports plaintext…

Put it on any pastebin and then just post the link here. Nothing fancy.

Yep. They defederated bc of legal risk I think?

 

These groups do most mainstream shows with similar settings so when should you choose one over the other?
