Who called it evil?
I was wondering because all I do is /artist/album/, which is going to be the same logical appearance in navidrome as at would be from a dir structured view so couldn’t understand the point.
The difference is the metadata, which I’m much more strict on so I haven’t seen these sorts of problems.
Personally I just run both.
Navidrome is what I would call the daily driver, but since its just a share that JF can also see, for TV playback its JF just like you.
But I’m also a stickler for metadata so I don’t often run into issues. When I do see something come up thats not right, I correct manually. Which wasn’t happening very often until lidarr had the metadata issue with musicbrainz, though the past few months its been a manual effort.
Thats basically an EV side-by-side, which can be made street legal in a lot of states BTW.
Edit: side note, EV conversions of older side-by-sides aren’t too bad a process. I’m in a debate with myself of which route to go, but its mostly going to depend on what I can get my hands on. There are usually a good chunk of used kubotas by me, so I’ll probably grab what I can used and working, and another thats not working/needs repait for the ev project.
Ah, I write the metadata on import in lidarr, so kind of a non-issue for me.
Filter by genre tag to make the finding part easier?
Just curious, why folder structure? Are your directories not artist/album?
Navidrome
Thats wildly cool… I’m checking it out tomorrow!
shrug or they want to use it as a private server, couldn’t tell you.
Just pointing to the server source as you can run the server self hosted.
Just used it to import a recipe, tweak it, and then I made it. Big fan of mealie.
I bet it would do a decent job of parsing those text files.
As the owner of a CD burner so old there was no speed to note, and later upgraded to a 4x burner…
I’m also quite old it seems.
Edited to add: I bought it at a computer show. The kind that you showed up to in person and paid like $5 to get into. I also bought a used laser 128.
I’m just saying the percentage of those who may have been willing to pay is small enough to be irrelevant in the for-profit release perspective.
Netflix (when it first started streaming) and Steam (when sales included good older stuff for wildly cheap) showed that piracy is more of a service problem than anything else. A recent article called out the content problems (partial content, a few seasons behind a separate paywall, ads in the middle of playback, etc) a are directly related to an increase in piracy.
So my opinions on copyright aside - a clear model to a happy consumer is an affordable price without all the enshittification going on. People also dont like “buying” content that later disappears because of licensing changes.
So I’d put it squarely in the “their own damn fault” territory, and I’m glad when judges say “no” to them. I’ll take whatever positives I can get.
People who would likely not otherwise have paid, so no net change worth discussing.
I would personally be far less trusting of downloading a zip…
Its referring to content in this case, not wealth.
As in lacking content, or only having parts of content (season 1 & 2, and then nothing until season 7).
Same, homarr is decent but I prefer my configs, quick edits from whatever device is in hand, easy peasy.
Containers are little virtual machines (Docker, LXC, etc) that run a specific tool or group of tools.
Like having a little VM that Rand just qbitorrent, and you would access it via the webui rather than the desktop client.
Short version, dont worry about that for now, just bind your torrent client to the network interface of the VPN itself.
Sort of - its a kill switch specific to qbitorrent at that point, since the adapter isn’t working, qbittorrent won’t connect to anything. It will not impact anything else running though.
You could also make a container for the VPN connection, and have a qbitorrent container use the VPN containers networking, which would then leave other containers to make use of it as well. This is what I do, its a bit more complicated of a setup though.
Entirely possible, I know they have commented before on not wanting to do it.
Which I kind of get if you’re parsing metadata, you’d have to create a whole new method for parse and view which can be a pain. Though I’d hardly call it evil myself since its how I sort too.
I’d agree on having to think and duplicates are possible, but that’s possible in so many scenarios.
shrug
Either way metadata I think is important, but ive been a pain about metadata since the 90s (because burning CDs and having the actual track info was awesome).
