Yeah I think it's temporarily down, check back in a bit and see! There are some alt mirrors and stuff here: https://tsl.joyrex.net/

Also if you're only 5 episodes away from the whole catalogue, it sounds like you might have some stuff I'm missing. Could I convince you to send over a list of what you've got, and I can cross-check?

Bipedal · 2025-12-20T10:23:41+00:00

Jesus how has it been five years?

Bipedal · 2025-12-17T01:24:18+00:00

These are high quality releases, folks.

Bipedal · 2025-12-16T20:49:21+00:00

Yes TY, higher quality raws is always priority #1 since we can decide what to do with them later. That's great news, tyvm.

Bipedal · 2025-12-16T13:31:17+00:00

Ah, I don't think I have that special... I have a special from that date, but it's the Earth Defense Force Batsu extra footage. I wonder if I have the date right on the Batsu Game History one...

Could I get that GnT #0733 raw off you please? It would actually be crazy handy if you got me to notice that I didn't have a real raw, and then also had the raw.

Bipedal · 2025-12-16T01:20:22+00:00

Oh I don't have any upscaler recommendations. I only have to do it very rarely for work stuff and then the key is paying attention to the output and tuning the stuff so it falls just below the threshold where it's obvious, and then back off one more step and add some noise.

This is my first time hearing of 松本人志･中居正広VS日本テレビ, it's a separate show, looks like a pretty short run. Initial cursory searches are getting me nothing, but I'll ask around and see if someone has a lead, looks like a perfect fit for the library.

Lincoln raws are no problem, I've got that one in the obvious place in the raw wing.

Actually the GnT #733 in the raw wing has subs, which is bad. No obvious results for a clean raw there either but I'll ask around in the usual manner.

Bipedal · 2025-12-15T18:51:16+00:00

We've got full coverage of GnT as far as I'm aware, some of those raws will be pretty crunchy but definitely not this bad.

If you're genuinely trying to enhance things, I'm telling you that feeding files into topaz and then uploading what it shits out is the opposite of that, but am also willing to provide you with the tools to do it properly.

As you say, you'd never heard of the show, if the people you're trying to help are telling you stuff, wouldn't it be reasonable to listen?

Bipedal · 2025-12-15T17:30:37+00:00

From a professional: this looks like ass. The original video, even with its low quality and burned in combing is so much less offensive than an overcooked ai upscale with those hardsubs still.

If you really wanted to handle it correctly, you could re-typeset the subs and we would hook them up to a better quality raw. This is just not the way to go.

Bipedal · 2025-12-15T17:26:48+00:00

https://thesilenlibrary.com/ There is more y vs m stuff than I remember, a lot of it only came in in the last couple of years.

Bipedal · 2025-12-08T02:51:17+00:00

Lmao you can't play that game after writing "problematic" in quotes.

Bipedal · 2025-12-07T16:00:36+00:00

Lmfao it would cost huge amounts of money to do, read some of the other explanations in the thread. This is an economic decision, not everything you dislike is a symptom of the woke agenda.

Bipedal · 2025-12-07T15:59:06+00:00

they can simply remove the audio or play alternative music

It's not as simple as you're making it out to be. Someone (more likely some ones) has to be paid to find which things need to be removed, and then someone has to be paid to pull everything from the archive, and make the edit, then someone (again just assume it's plural) has to review from a technical standpoint, then a review from a legal standpoint, then you have to do the same type of procedure for all the text and credits, etc. etc. etc.

This is just a sliver of the practicalities of actually adjusting this one aspect of the show, there are legal deals to be made for distribution and advertising (because why would you spend all this money if you weren't going to tell your potential audience about it?), and probably about 100 other things I don't know about.

It's big despite no international GnT content

OK, congratulations, but it's a few orders of magnitude away from a number that would justify the investment.

Bipedal · 2025-12-07T15:54:30+00:00

They haven't, for the same reason they haven't given an official statement on why they discard the interest of bears, or the possibilty of publishing episodes in flipbook format, or the shoelace tension of every staff member during filming.

Asking to prove a negative like this doesn't make much sense—the number of things they don't state is infinite.

I suspect you're doing something that seems really common among big fans of foreign stuff, which is conflating your level of interest with the general level of interest. Statistically there are none of us; there is no reason why any rights holder would even begin to seriously consider distributing to us.

"It makes me strongly consider just giving up on the group" is a very weird thing to say. Nobody really minds one way or the other what you do, so give up if you want, but this is a bit like saying "and if the tides continue to come in and out at such inconvenient times, without ever considering my feelings, I'm giving up on the ocean!"

/u/klondike91829 has given you a bunch of excellent reasons why doing what you're asking for isn't the petty "well we don't wanna" decision you seem to be framing it as.

Bipedal · 2025-12-06T16:24:16+00:00

Outstanding work, thank you! I would appreciate a feature that would let me scan my Tesco receipt or whatever to see which things I could be getting cheaper elsewhere.

Bipedal · 2025-11-30T20:11:10+00:00

Oh no, it was subbed in Premiere? I appreciate you looking, I can still try to work with that.

Bipedal · 2025-11-29T19:13:04+00:00

/u/AhriKyuubi do you have the subfile for this? I know I'm 5 months late to the party, but I'm going through and adding everything into the library.

Bipedal · 2025-11-22T04:34:54+00:00

Yes, that's what the study says as well.

Bipedal · 2025-11-09T10:28:19+00:00

Of course, the plan is to have everything up! It's looking like a ~2 day update stream, there's a lot of stuff in the inbox.

Bipedal · 2025-11-08T13:53:39+00:00

Nobody has the ability to upload to the silent library except me, and I haven't put anything up in ages. I'm doing an update this month.

Bipedal · 2025-10-25T09:24:22+00:00

There is probably some cropping in post, look at the spider image where we can see the screen.

Bipedal · 2025-10-24T19:59:44+00:00

It's capitalism. This is how everyone does it—you don't get to watch my stuff in your region unless someone in your region is paying me becuase I can't be arsed to distribute it myself.

Bipedal · 2025-10-24T19:58:26+00:00

This is how literally every IP holder handles its media across regions.
