There's a better way (sorry for reddit link)

All the Mythbusters episodes will all the fluff removed.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

This is awesome, and also, I'm impressed someone posted a magnet link on Reddit of all places and hasn't been taken down

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 73 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I just have a "channel" on my plex (I use DizqueTV to setup the fake TV channel) that has a random continuous playlist of Mythbusters, Top gear + all the spinoffs and classic specials, Junkyard wars, classic robot wars, etc etc..

[–] chepox@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

DizqueTV you say.... Onto the high seas to look for more info and understand what this is and why I need it...

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 2 years ago

its just an app you run next to plex that lets you make fake TV channels with your own content. good for those "I don't know what to watch" times where you just want to click a button and shut your brain off.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Another one is ErsatzTV. They allow you to create your own 'TV channels' based on stuff in your library.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't know I wanted this, but now I need to have it.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just a fair warning, if you already use the LiveTV option with a TV Tuner or IPTV, I have yet to find a way to get them blended together with the fake TV channels in the guide on Plex even with xTeve outputting a valid m3u/xmltv. It's either one or the other unfortunately.

Emby did work correctly so I'm assuming it'll also work correctly in Jellyfin too.

I have been looking for high-quality video of Junkyard Wars for years. I found one torrent once of like 320x240 rips of a singe season. It's miserable.

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 years ago

yea, sadly a lot of shows from those times were never released on decent formats, so all we have are poor broadcast rips, some of them from VHS, and occasionally a DVD encode made in 2003.

[–] pulverizedcoccyx@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

There's a 65 GB pack on archive.org

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

There is a complete pack of Junkyard wars / scrapheap challenge, but most of it is pretty poor quality, even the later seasons.

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Holy shit this a game changer! My man thank you!!

[–] lukas@lemmy.haigner.me 70 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

We're delighted to see you enjoy your hulu experience! Based on your experience so far, how likely are you to recommend hulu to a friend on a scale of 1 to 10?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 2 years ago

Why do these questions never start at -10? You know, likely to recommend staying away.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 47 points 2 years ago (5 children)

What even are the reasons to lock content behind living in a specific part of the world? That shit is stupid.

[–] money_loo@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

International rates vs domestic, if I had to guess.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also licensing deals can be country-specific

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

there should be a wordwide fair trade pact

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

Dude, trade between countries is extremely difficult and complicated. There isn't a world wide set trade for anything.

You'd think there could be, but it's just not realistic.

[–] Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

The gap is too wide to agree, even between europe and the US there is a radically opposite stance between pro- and anti-consumer rights.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 2 years ago

It would be like the Trans Pacific Partnership, strengthening IP and DRM.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago
[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 2 years ago

Licensing issues basically.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Licensing deals usually.

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 25 points 2 years ago

Next time get high after doing the troubleshooting ;)

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Strange, it works just fine with Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid 🤔

[–] DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I sometimes use stremio + torrentio and it works great. What does real debrid add to the setup?

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Less buffering mainly. I can stream anything 4K and never have buffering issues.

Not needing a VPN is a bonus.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Exactly, I'd like to add that the catalogue is outstanding and it pretty much humiliates all the other legal streaming sites, even its interface is better than other apps (like Prime Video).

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Ran into this last night abroad too. Took me 10 mins to watch what I wanted anyway. Stupid.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I live in Australia. I used to pay for hulu ages ago, using a US credit card, but then they stopped me from using it .So the way i see it, if they don't want my money, then i won't give it to them. That's when i started pirating.

[–] lilcs420@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use surfshark vpn with hulu. It works great.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

ProtonVPN and network bind interface with qbittorrent. It works great.
