With Alldebrid? I mean the premium link generator still works well and fine. It’s just the cyberlocker aspect of it with regards to torrents that is messed up, since they used Uptobox. Still a bummer tho.
https://x.com/Uptobox_com/status/1704510079125295167?s=20 According to Uptobox’s tweet none of the data lost, but I would take that with a grain of salt. Thus, I don’t know how its gonna affect things at Alldebrid and all those cached torrents
The cmd route should work. Done it many times doing like .mp4 to .m4b. You go I to cmd (command). Type the following: cd “FILE-PATH” (without quotations). Hit enter. Then type: ren *.file-type *.file-type Example would look like: ren *.jpg *.PNG This woukd be renamed the files all from jpg to png
Fucking absurd.
Here is some basic info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirated_movie_release_types
As someone has said it pretty much goes [Title][Year][Resolution][Source][Codec(s)-Video/Audio][GroupName]
Title and Year: self explanatory
[Resolution]: 1080p, 2160p, HD, UHD, etc
[Source] Bluray, Webrip, Web-DL, Streaming-Provider, Cam, etc…
[Codec]: This can be a lot but kinda depends on what the uploader wants to mention/bring attention to
Video: x264 (AVC) or h264, x265(HEVC) or h265, AV1, x266 (VVC), etc...
May also include stuff like : 8bit (SDR), 10bit (HDR), DV (Dolby), Hybrid
Audio: # of channels (5.1, 7.1)
Codecs: Will tell you if the audio is lossless vs lossy
Examples DTS:X, TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, LPCM, FLAC [lossless] vs. DTS-HD HR, E-AC3, DTS-ES, DTS, AC3 [lossy]]
Group Name: Name of group or person that made the file.
Finally there is the container file which nowadays is MKV (Matroska Video file) but you can run into MP4. There are older formats but you don’t see them very often so I wont really mention them.
This is a quick run down but there is plenty of info out there that goes more into detail and you can just google questions like: what is lossless vs lossy?
Hope this helps
I’m going to chime in with what I think. I’ve been sailing the seas for a while now. And at the end of the day I am all for people doing whatever the fuck they want. Want to pay for streaming? Fine. Want to digitize you library of blurays, cassettes, dvd. etc…? Go for it. Want to share everything you have? Cool. Want to be a bootlicker? Fine, I guess. Want to hit n run every torrent you every come across? You a bitch, but I mean there isn’t anything really stopping you. Luckily, certain communities have ways to weed out people that don’t share similar values (whatever they may be). I am part of a thriving one. I am more of the belief that all media should be available to everyone forever. That’s all I’ma say about that, and at the end of the day I know of the issues with this sort of thinking, but I am not gonna elaborate nor argue with anyone about anything.
At the end of the day people will do what they want (for the most part). With regards to the larger idea of paying for content, that is gonna be done in one way or another depending on what you do. You never want to pirate? That’s fine you’ll just have to pay for internet and whatever streaming services you want. You also run the risk on never again being able to access certain shows, movies for a variety of reasons (licensing issues, because companies can just pull the “fuck you” card, etc). As for pirating, the cost of this is always going to depend on what you want to do and how long. The minimum you will need is a HDD/drive to download your shit, internet, and then a player to play said shit (TV, android box, etc…). If you want to do more you’ll have to pay or have available a computer that will host your shit (old computer, NAS, etc). If you have a robust collection or are digitizing your movies/shows, once again you are gonna need drives. You can get an external drive or invest in those huge drives (20+TB) to get more bang for your buck, but they also aren’t pocket change to throw around. Luckily drives are always getting cheaper, but know that they don’t last forever and they aren’t always super cheap depending on how big you want them. As for services to stream your shit to your devices, there are plenty of free and paid things to make that happen.
There are also tools/services that I pay for that have made obtaining content much easier, but by no means are they necessary to eventually get the media. I’m not gonna lie, it does seem a little ironic that I have had to pay to do/obtain the things I have, but I do not regret it at all. These tool and services allow me to have the my current collection and allowed me to do it quickly for the most part. I am part of a community that is thriving and passionate about what they care about with regards to media. I am not going to go into the whole, “is it moral?”, or “where does piracy stand?” argument cause at the end of the day I don’t give a fuck nor am i going to try and moralize piracy or whatever . People can do that till the cows come home and feel any which way they want. Not my business and has no bearing on what I am doing.
Back to the point of money and piracy, like I said, one “pays” for media in one way or another. Some forms are cheaper, others are more convenient, and some choices are maybe even both. At the end of the day, from how I see things, most thing are never going to be truly free. It is going to boil down to what you care about doing, how fast you want something, how long you want said thing, maintenance, convenience, and finally, money. While you don’t need much money to start pirating there is a bare minimum of required things. Yes, you can acquire them for free if someone gives them (computer, phone, etc…) to you but there are people that don’t even have that. Someone that is destitute (by this i mean someone that literally has nothing, no home, no phone, no computer) will not be able to pirate. Then there’s the internet issue which some people may or may not have regular access to nor have reliability.
Money will always be tied to piracy in one way or another. Depending on who you ask there will be different answers. It varies widely on how you view piracy and what you view as money spent towards it. They money I have spent on drives alone and my NAS compare to years of a subscription to multiple streaming services. Money is part of the equation on any side you take, whether straight laced or eye-patched.
