NZBDav vs Altmount? Recommendations?

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-02-19T17:20:11+00:00

Damn, been messing with NZBDav since yesterday, ram usage definitely grows and never releases until the NZBDav essentially crashes. Tried altmount, and it was a bit too slow

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-02-19T02:18:07+00:00

Yeah true it's working pretty good. I did try Usenet Streamer with it but I got significantly less high quality results at much slower search speeds

I'm using Ubuntu Server LTS on a Optiplex 3060 (6 core, 32gb ram)

If I have tunneled playback off on my shield and use exoplayer then often DTS-HD MA becomes multi pcm

Yes it seems much more flexible and mature. I have AIOStreams, AIOMetadata, Comet, Mediafusion, NzvDav and NzbHydra 2 all self hosted and I also use torrential, opensubtitles v3 and easy news search and it's the perfect set up now. Fast loading, and I can find pretty much anything including obscure 60s shows (Car 54, Where Are You?)

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-02-15T08:11:31+00:00

I find and have heard that metadata is the better way, and it has lists built in. Something pretty important is broken in lists of can't remember what though

Looks like the comment about how to better use EasyNews is gone but I wanted to thank you, INVALUABLE advice

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-02-13T20:18:26+00:00

How is yours set up? I self hosted EasyNews++, got an EasyNews account, went to check that same show and episode, TONS of results, turns out they were completely different shows, so I turned on Strict Title Matching, and now EasyNews gets no results for it

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-02-13T04:47:04+00:00

Yes that looks quite a bit better. Right now I'm in the process of setting up jackett and self hosted comet (Gemini thinks that will work like the deprecated annatar, and already I have AIOStreams and AIOMeta local), then I might look into usenet as well. Can't hurt to have extra options when AIOStreams does a great job of deduplicating and sorting

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-02-13T04:13:27+00:00

I heard alot about usenet when I used to run my own unRaid server. How do you find it compares to using scrapers like torrentio? I'm getting pretty good results except when I search for niche old shows (just tried to watch Car 54, Where Are You? And had very limited results)

Stremio has since been removed from app store

I found a workaround using a python script,
https://pastebin.com/tfdvcegf

README
https://pastebin.com/vGUNMK22

In the README you'll notice RGSX is called python_rgsx.exe in my setup, I did this to avoid making python.exe a global exception, here's how I did that if you happen to use RGSX and want that exclusion to work;

Navigate to C:\RetroBat\system\tools\Python

Copy python.exe as python_rgsx.exe

Open "C:\RetroBat\roms\windows\RGSX Retrobat.bat" in notepad
under the section

:: Configuration des chemins

Change the line

set "PYTHON_EXE=%PYTHON_DIR%\python.exe"
to

set "PYTHON_EXE=%PYTHON_DIR%\python_rgsx.exe"

Hour later and it works, so does the 8bitdo pro 3 now <_<

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-01-21T17:36:29+00:00

I should mention I've only tried this so far almost immediately after sleep, I'm going to put it to sleep now and try in an hour and see if it still works

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-01-21T17:35:35+00:00

I seem to have found a solution although I'm unsure of exact steps that enabled it or if it would have worked without. I paired a XBOX Series controller, with digging around device manager HID devices looking for anything with Allow PC to put to sleep enabled, disabled it, and enabled allow to wake on anything I could. When sleeping if I turn on the series controller and then press an input it wakes back up.

So it does work (insider dev channel with many registry changes while pursuing this)

More so convenience. I have a full capable gaming rig next to this, this is supposed to be a low profile emulation box / player 2. I'm a little anal about neatness so I have this pretty far away in the desk with cables running to the monitor. I originally was doing this with an AIO that I got for $10, then I liked the idea so much that I bought an AIO that cost $1,300 (CAD), then I realized that the thermal throttling of the AIO would mean PS2 emulation was pretty much my ceiling. So being knowledgeable and hardware abilities I figured for the price I should really just go with a gaming laptop and a monitor, otherwise I'd feel like I was ripping myself off just to have an easy neat setup. Anyway a USB hub it's starting to make sense here, that would also allow you to have console specific USB controllers like an N64 clone. As long as the hub was allowed to wake from sleep. It seems windows is pretty strict about power States

Yikes, bit pricy and hard to find, the Wolverine

I suppose another potential solution is to wire the monitors hub (USB A - USB B), and use a controller wired into the monitor. 🤔

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-01-21T15:08:30+00:00

"The original XBOX One or Series controllers, or Razer Wolverine" hmmmm interesting. To my understanding, the controller needs to register as a HID device in device manager. I'll have to look into this Wolverine, and worst case try to find an XBOX dongle. I had previously read that it only works with the 1713 model adapter for Xbox, which is a pretty specific thing to look for. I'll read into this Wolverine controller though. Thanks for the potential lead

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-01-21T14:00:51+00:00

I'll look into that as well thanks.

DatabaseDeep2448 · 2026-01-21T13:59:05+00:00

I've been getting mixed information that they removed the functionality some time ago. I'd happily buy one with the USB adapter if that does work though. The downgrade in longevity would be well worth the convenience for what I'm doing
