I prefer NGINX with autoindex. Lightweigh, no JavaScript, looks like every Linux ISO mirror, filenames already have all the required info, can be quickly searched with CTRL+F, fits perfectly to my laziness.
If you want some improvement, you can use FancyIndex module.
But the files need to be in codecs supported by your browser(s). I prefer AV1+Opus in WebM container which have been supported by Firefox for a while. At this point it’s really only Safari not supporting AV1 because it relies on hardware decoding and Apple wants you to buy new hardware.

Sorry, your media server is just files you play on a browser?
I mean, not shaming, I just had never heard of that being preferable to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin.
thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
That’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m into it.
ricecake@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
The biggest issue with that is it requires all of your media to be in a flat folder for search to work right.
Auto index has a mode to return results in json. With a touch of html and js you can make a page that will crawl the directory tree and build a simple searchable cache of name to path, and then you can play it from there. It ends up making a request per folder, but in realistic terms it’s not gonna be enough to actually be noticable.
You can then use something like this on a cron to convert anything your browser can’t play and you’re pretty close to a minimalist media server with only static files.
The one I used to use was just a bash script so I didn’t have to wrangle python modules, but I can’t seem to find it.I ended up dropping it when I bought a nas with all that stuff built in and it generally made my life easier. Worth the money if you can afford it.
tan00k@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Do you just remember where you are in every show (or movie that you only partway watched)? That’s the biggest appeal of jellyfin/plex to me, so I can go in and continue from where I left off without keeping track.

Amateur. You set this up ahead of time.
AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 9 months ago
When you’re torrenting and you’re planning to watch with someone else, you decide what you’re watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr can’t find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with aren’t going to be in the same room, you’ll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate that’s low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it.
areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I have none of these issues, but I use Usenet soo…
Honestly though if push comes to shove Stremio and RealDebrid can work wonders provided your internet is actually fast enough.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
Or just have a VPN on and go to fmovies or whatever to stream it for free since you’re already on a laptop with connection anyways.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 months ago
This is a great example of why Netflix is still so profitable.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
Most popular movies have enough seeders to finish in 20 minutes where I live.
But if I were in OP’s shoes, I would just turn to streaming and forego the slightly better quality.
The movie isn’t the most important thing at that point.
SSJMarx@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Instead of Radarr, Stremio (with the Torrentio addon) lets you browse torrent trackers as though you were browsing Netflix and stream from them directly. It’s so goddamn convenient because you don’t have to remember what’s on which streaming service it hurts.

Yeah my ex wife initially made fun of my server with my Plex media on it…

You can also press one button to configure a torrent to download first and last, allowing you to play a video while it streams in.
Anon can’t even torrent right, she just got scared that he’d be too stupid to put on the condom right.

Mate, don’t be weird. Torrent the movie you wanna watch before your girl gets there. Put it in your plex library and boot up Plex on your xbox. Easy peasy. You don’t have to be weird about it.

This is why you have a server running jellyfin qbittorent, Jackett, sonarr, radarr, all behind a good VPN.
OP is obviously a noob and deserves the walkout.

What’s with the “ooga booga woman scared by tech” meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it’s not like it’s underground.
And just have it downloaded? “Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then.” Then start the download. If it’s popular, you’ll he the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she’s that “confused” by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone interested, I can’t imagine setting something up would make them leave? “Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a… A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???”
I don’t know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya’ll.

Don’t think it is about women being scared by tech, but “normies” only really knowing how to use Netflix to watch a movie.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
Although that may be true the ‘normies’ I’ve spoken with about this aren’t necessarily stupid. They may just not have it on the radar because it’s not their interest, some show interest in how it works and at worst I’ve found they say oh that’s interesting it’s pirating right? And that’s it.
My coworker is super non tech savvy and has no interest and even she just says ‘it flies over my head but I trust you to get it done’.
4channers now a days aren’t even good at making up lies/making shit posts. All they can do is low level rage bait. Pathetic.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 9 months ago
In the post the woman is not the butt of the joke for being tech illiterate (and I’d argue they aren’t presented as that), the joke is on Anon for insisting on using free/techy stuff rather than costly but convenient things and ruining the vibe of the evening. This could just as easily say “Anon, why are you still fiddling with the picture settings? It looks fine. Motion blur? I don’t know what that is. It looks fine. Just watch the movie.”

It’s Usenet babe. Get this… it’s been around since 1980! Isn’t that wild, babe? It just goes to show, if a distribution system isn’t broke, don’t fix it.

MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
I set up ombi for requests, linked it into all the *arr’s and automated it to hell.
I log in, click a button to approve it, let the system work for a bit and the system updates me by web hook to say it’s done, as it’s publishing the content on Plex.
It all sits behind a pfsense system running a VPN service. So everything is automatic.
It’s barely an inconvenience.

Torrent. Phht. Who got the time for that. Sonarr/Radarr/emby(or whichever u prefer) Enter title, wait a minute (unless u r on slow net or prefer 4k remux) and watch. Enter Series-name,go to bed. Enjoy 12 full seasons tomorrow.
Totally hasslefree, no stupid trackers or missing seeder or waiting-time. Movie was posted 10yrs ago? No problem. Still there, still fullspeed. Device not certified for netfucks or rooted? Who cares?
And when your lady asks “why can we watch this, this is not on Netflix” you can reply “what is netflix? I’m a pro”
almost1337@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Sonarr and radarr aren’t going to do what you claim without a Usenet client to do the actual downloading. So on top of your *arrs you also have to pick a quality indexer, find and pay for a Usenet provider, and set up your download client. And preferably use a nicer frontend for finding the content a la Overseerr or Ombi. And probably Bazarr to get subtitles for all the anime/foreign language content. Also good luck getting good, consistent releases automatically without some serious dedication to setting up your quality profiles.
quixotic120@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You can set up sonarr/radarr to use torrent clients but it’s more effective with and built for Usenet for sure. But it still works fine with torrents. It’s also not terribly difficult to setup quality profiles if you know basic regex
My setup does the following: For movies: downloads 4k remux from private trackers first, then Usenet filtered by ideal release groups, then 1080p remux from private trackers, and then Usenet by ideal release groups. If those all fail then I am notified so I can take a look at the releases that are left over
For tv: pretty similar
For anime: releases pulled from sneedex when possible. When not AB/nyaa remux preferred, then fall back on BR rip hevc from either those trackers or Usenet via AT.
Regex to also filter for things like I prefer Dolby vision and atmos audio with my setup whenever possible. I filter for English releases unless it’s a foreign film or anime (refuse dubs, yuck). With anime I filter for common fansub groups like subsplease, commie, etc to ensure a release has subs.
It’s not perfect of course mainly because sometimes people upload stuff with bad tagging and file names, but it works well the overwhelming majority of the time and I am able to grab media extremely quickly on gigabit internet. A 4k remux movie downloads in 6-10 mins usually because I have the connection throttled a bit so that my other computers in the house don’t all choke just because a movie started downloading
Then there’s the other benefits: a komga server with all my books, sheet music, and manga that can be served to my ereader/phones/laptop via mihon or any of the Tachiyomi forks. No need to bother with mangadex or bato, my manga all loads extremely fast, ad free, no watermarks/credit pages and is the highest possible quality.
I have a navidrome setup for all my music and finamp (I use jellyfin, fuck plex and their snitching). I have a dns server so I can adblock everything in the house, I don’t have to worry about installing extensions and can run adblock on devices that typically can’t run extensions like smart TVs.
I also now have a significant amount of network storage, over 100tb. My computers all back up to that and the server is archived to tape once a month. I don’t need to bother with google, apple, dropbox, amazon, etc. having copies of my files.
This all took about 2 days to setup and runs on hardware that’s worth about $150 (minus the drives but you don’t need to start with that much storage). You just need some e waste pc from 2015 or so and the know how, which isn’t that hard to gain. This is all well documented online. The trash guides will get your sonarr/radarr setup 85% of the way there. if you’re like me you’ll diverge from their decisions pretty quickly, but that’s just a matter of modifying the regex a bit and their discord is very active and helpful with questions if you don’t understand something. Plus there are thousands of reddit posts, youtube videos, etc.
All the software is free (unless you use something like unraid or the premium plex) and a Usenet subscription is dirt cheap if you wait for a major sale like Black Friday, I pay $40/yr for unlimited
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
Sure you need those too (except maybe the frontend). Not like it’s hard work. And once setup it runs basically forever without tinkering.
So far rarely had bad luck with inconsistent releases. And considering with how warez were when i started doing warez (before the interwebz), it’s super consistent.
What is yout point even? You seem to use the same?
dwindling7373@feddit.it 9 months ago
I wish? That’s not my experience, anything that’s not superpopular is hard to find. Are you using private trackers?
camr_on@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It definitely depends on your trackers and how smart sonarr/radarr are with picking a useable torrent. I think 80-90% of the time I don’t have to think about it, but there are some shows I’ve had to really dig for. Private trackers make it way easier
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
Rarely use torrents at all. Usenet. Screw upload ratio and that shit. I’m too old for that and i download a tb a month or so 😁
Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
Doesn’t this solution require downloading the file, reencoding and then it’s available to watch? How do you only need one minute to start watching?
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 months ago
Doesn’t sound to me like they actually understand what they’re talking about. Sonarr and Radarr both use trackers to download files from either torrents or usenet. Emby is a media server that displays the downloaded files (like netflix). You don’t typically have to reencode what you download.
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
Sure it needs to download. But i got 10 fibers á 1gbit bundled and a 10gb home network and a good and fast server. So after hitting “search” it’ll take around a minute til it’s leeched, unpacked, sorted and imported into emby. The last part actually take the longest.
But speed isn’t really the point, it’s hit-search-wait-watch. The wait part depends on you.
example@reddthat.com 9 months ago
reencoding is not required in advance, it happens on the fly if needed.
download still needs to be completed first usually, but you can save a lot of time if you compromise in quality.
