What can be (realisticly) improved for a better and easier experience
That dubbed audio tracks of movies could be downloaded separatey and easily merged in the audio, in a way similar to subtitles. This way, the audio track in non English languages would be downloaded very quickly, even with just one seeder, and the whole movie in original language has way more seeders than dubbed ones.
Would be great for commentary tracks too.
sci-hub doesn’t get new research papers any more, and the new alternatives are all much less user friendly. As far as I can tell, wosonhj.com is what’s currently recommended, where you have to post in a forum and wait for either a bot or a human to send the paper to you. Other alternatives, like annas-archive, nexusbot or STC all didn’t have the paper I was looking for.
I just want old sci-hub back, honestly.Adding proper metadata to releases. Why are we still trying to decipher release titles, why not add a little metadata JSON file to every release and make the info available to the search API?
Also keeping multiple different versions of a release in Arr apps, like ebook and audiobook in different languages. Right now I’d need 4 Readarr instances to get the English and German audiobook and ebook versions of a book, and don’t even think about letting them manage the same root folder!
Sorry, best we can do is some unrelated ASCII art.
and following proper naming conventions too. why can’t releasers decided to choose one single naming convention together so it makes our job better to automate things?
Have you tried maintaining a standard at work?
Now imagine if several thousand people try to decide on a common standard.Several thousand people who tend to be less likely to follow the path most traveled, no less
I want self-sovereign identity. I want to control who gets what information about me from my ID, and how that data is hosted. I’m aware that there are some really hostile attitudes about blockchain, but I’d like if a public blockchain could be used to host the information, so that the identity info could be decentralized and decoupled from any given provider.
I want control of my digital identity back, dammit.
postscript someone kindly pointed out this is c/piracy, not c/privacy, which I thought it was. Off topic; my bad.
Not always, but occasionally I have issues with playing a video and the language not being my preferred (English). Either the video doesn’t have English audio or it’s not the default. Not a biggie but it can waste some time if there’s no talking for the first few min and my family isn’t used to navigating audio settings.
VLC lets you set automatic audio preference matching, so that you type in “eng” in the settings, and it will try and pick an audio track that has “eng” in it’s title, great for multi-lang media but doesn’t work for stuff like commentary tracks rarely.
