Loads for me and I believe you can buy in the app aswell

As for the third one related to tgx you can look at this post https://sh.itjust.works/post/29312472

Tldr: it’s having problems and we don’t know why

Enter a contract no… you also don’t ‘enter a contract’ when you buy a dvd either or watch in theaters etc (no idea about streaming service tbh). As for ToS yes https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/14129599?hl=en

When you block YouTube ads, you violate YouTube’s Terms of Service.

IMO blocking ads is a form of piracy. You are circumventing there form (ads) of monetization. But yea Newpipe is great I personally use Tubular

Yes this is what I have found out for some reason thought radarr would make those collections in folders for me aswell not sure why. Plex, and kometa make collections for my viewing aswell but just liked the organization of sorted folders. I have changed to the recommended layout and all is good now. Thanks :)

Thanks yea I just followed that to get hard links but it did not cross my mind to change anything with old files…

Ok thanks. I gather that now it will be much faster for me to rip out all of my ‘self made collections’ and re import everything into radarr than doing what I mentioned in my post. I went crazy with manual collections and would take hours… most movies are in /root folder/movie/movie name/movie file format but some get crazy like /root folder/movie/DC/Animated/Batman/batmanMovieFolder/Movie

No problem glad you enjoyed :)

He apparently made both of these sites I found every noise interesting

I heard that Spotify fired the guy who invented the original Spotify algorithm for everything from wrapped to the discover playlists. I’ll look to see if I can find link and update.

Edit: not sure if is what I read originally https://blog.tunemymusic.com/spotify-wrapped-2024-bad-users-complain/

But I remember the quote

“Everyone noticing that Spotify wrapped is weak this year should remember that Spotify fired the main dude who created the algorithm for them about a year ago (for no reason) and he was also the mastermind between all the genre related data that essentially keeps the place running.

“Enshitification at its finest folks.

I would probably still play if they didn’t block Linux

Didn’t know that interesting I wonder how there features compare to immich

Immich if you self host as others have mentioned but since this is the article shared and you don’t want to host it https://ente.io/ is what is talked about in the article

Something “more private, wholesome, and trustworthy,” he says. The paid service he designed, Ente, is profitable and says it has more than 100,000 users, many of whom are already part of the privacy-obsessed crowd. But Mohandas struggled to articulate to wider audiences why they should reconsider relying on Google Photos, despite all the conveniences it offers.

I have 0 experience with ente btw

One of the ones I uploaded said it could see a partial face from the reflection in the glasses

I am also waiting on a native Linux app

No it’s server side. You can run it on same PC/server the Plex media server is on

Yes in your library settings Manage library -> Edit -> Advanced -> Go to the Bottom you see Collections set to ‘Hide items which are in collections’. Or if you use ‘Kometa’ (you should its great) you can set ‘collection_mode: hide_items’. This way you have one poster called Harry Potter and then inside its all harry potter movies.

Just set it up and tested it out a little and this is what I’m going to use it fits best for me right now thanks for showing this. It looks like I can also import the previous excel sheets I have.

Huge thanks

Edit: meant to say mobile via browser works great too

No I’ll look into it didn’t know there were plugins

Neat didn’t see this one before. I will also try this out the setup looks daunting to be honest though but I’ll try
