I imagine there is something like this in a lot of languages, but it’s always amused me that Bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef/pork) translates literally to “fire meat”

I’m happy to learn Finns have a similar word!

Thanks I will double check that later. Reading the Trashguides, I didn’t catch that the paths had to be that identical.

It’s more than a little annoying that Radarr doesn’t throw any indication that it’s physically duplicating files rather than creating hardlinks!

Same here… vague memories of him sketching Homer and pointing out the easter egg maaany years ago, but I’ve never seen anyone else do.it before now!

MaaaAaaaAaaaAaaagazines

Upvoted for including Matt Groening’s initials!

Wait can you expand on that a little more? I literally was just now getting ready to try and troubleshoot why my hardlinking was not working.

I was under the impression that the torrent storage and media library just needed to be in the same share, but maybe there is more to it…?

Also smoked beef ribs are heavenly, and that cow has got ribs for daaaaaaaaays

Not OP, but I can answer part of your questions:

if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

I have Plex and Jellyfin running off the exact same media library no problem at all. So there should be zero need to modify anything–if anything Jellyfin seems a little better at catching “extras” folders than Plex.

I don’t need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.

The Jellyfin app plays music–but it’s definitely NOT a music app. I always hear Symfonium highly recommended, but have not yet given it a whirl myself.

Absolutely. They are not going to share metadata or things like played status, but I have been using both simultaneously since almost the first day I spun up my media server.

I definitely prefer Jellyfin overall, but Plex is more convenient for sharing with less techy family so I keep it spun up. Jellyfin also requires some finicky network configuration (so I have heard) to cast media to a Chromecast, so Plex wins out there.

Yeah, i know a meme is kinda flippant, but so are words from a rando on the internet… Your work is appreciated. Thanks to the work of folks like you, an old buddy got to spend an extra year or so with his wife and kids.

Given your instance, I’m guessing you’re not from the US… but here there are two generally standard shapes for residential toilets–round and oblong. The round ones fit better in small bathrooms, but man when you are used to the oblong shape it feels like sitting on a child-size toilet or something.

I bought a set of mugs like that recently. It’s a shame because they are pretty nice looking, and comfortable to hold when empty. But when full of hot liquid, the handle just is totally inadequate.

They are from IKEA, so at least they didn’t cost too much, but I am a little surprised because their stuff is generally pretty well thought out from an ergonomics and usability perspective–it’s only really the sturdiness/durability I ever worry about.

The best mugs I have are still a pair of the stereotypical featureless cylinder type I got from a giveaway 10 or 15 years ago–they are utterly boring, but the handle fits 3 fingers for a perfectly stable grip!

The article is a little unclear whether 1.4×10^17g is the cutoff mass for the definition of a PBH, or the mass above which they calculate a PBH would cause fatal damage.

If it’s the latter, that is many orders of magnitude larger than i would have expected!

I did the same as you at first TBH, but quickly found that as long as I dumped the files in generally the correct folder structure, Jellyfin would figure it out. And for the few it doesn’t, you can manually identify within the webUI as others have pointed out.

I also stressed a bit about shows, but have found that

/Show (YEAR)/Season 1/whatever garbage naming convention the torrent uses

generally gets picked up with no problems, even if there is an extra folder level beyond “Season 1”.

Thank you, this clears up some misconception i had about how the *arrs work!

Got it, thanks!

If all your current files are still in the “download” folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides

Yeah, that’s the rub… they are all currently in separate movies, shows, and music folders as Plex/Jellyfin want them to be.

But it’s sounding like the best bet is to leave the existing content alone for now and spin things up per the guides until I have a better handle on how it all works. Appreciate the input!

Yeah, I’m using Unraid, so this would all be in dockers.

I think maybe I had a false understanding that radarr (for example) interposes itself between the actual media files and Plex/Jellyfin… which sounds like a PITA to undo, and was giving me pause.

Thanks, this is helpful!

If I do a “clean” install, can i later identify specific pieces of media within a library to monitor?

I have some ratios in the 500s
