I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

        Mmmm, that green and purple filter that you realize wasnt an artistic choice until 15 minutes in. Are there any workflows to play them on windows yet?

        Another option is to add tdarr to your *arr stack and have it automatically convert any problematic audio/video streams into ones your devices can handle.

        I have it set to encode truehd(?) audio since none of my devices support it and it also ensures there’s a video stream that my roku device can play since it’s a bit pickier than my smart tv

          I’d avoid this as you’d like be converting from lossless to lossless compression (like taking a photocopy of a photocopy). I think (not by my server ATM) that you can set exclusion words in both sonarr and radarr, do you could add “Dolby vision, DV, etc” to this list and they shouldn’t grab them.

            But sometimes the only option is the one that I’ll need to encode so it plays everywhere.

            I’ve tried to balance it out so I get pretty good quality most of the time. But it skews towards whatever “just works” the most. I want to minimize having to find stuff manually myself or investigating why plex refuses to play something.

            And I’m not a quality absolutist as long is it’s good enough.

      Thats the first thing you learn unless you enjoy trash quality movies
