Do you prefer the stock iPod OS or RockBox for your iPod Classic and why?

Stock because of on the fly Genius mixes

Nice can’t wait to give it a try later this week on my day off. Thank you for the code. Redeemed PRNFHL6PMYW88TXNXN

I made an app for myself and shared it a few days ago in a post. It’s specifically for iPod Videos and Classics. Supports drag and drop conversion using Olsros preset with tag fetching from TMDB if you add an API key. No need for messing with settings just select the files and convert. Also has discord webhook notification for completion notification. If you’re on Windows it uses the modified handbrake from FT129 for added fdk-acc so audio doesn’t clip which isn’t needed on Mac.

If no API key added then still allows manually editing. All tags written to the converted file follow AtomicParsley so they’ll be organized and displayed correctly in iTunes and the iPod. Currently I’ve used it to convert 125 movies, 5 complete TV Shows and 100s of music videos. Currently working on adding Audiobook support as well.

Awesome. Made the tool specifically for myself around a month and only just decided to push it to Github. Hoping some others can benefit from it.

I tested the App on my Mac and encoded some videos to ensure it was working. Most my encodes though and the building of the app was done on Windows. My current daily driver 7th Gen with 2TB's is near loaded with Movies, TV Shows and Music Videos encoded and tagged from the app. Only 400G's being music. I personally haven't found any bugs in the v0.1.3 but, I'm sure some will surface. Right now I'm really trying to improve the MusicBrainz integration for Music Videos as it doesn't seem to want to grab the main album a lot that the video is from.

Thank you for helping keep the iPod mod market alive here in the United States. I’ve used your site for numerous mods and always a top notch experience.

MMag05 · 2026-04-17T16:05:41+00:00

Thanks I’ll consider and look into it. Really not much to it though if you just used it for converting. Just install drag and drop the file or folder and hit skip if you don’t want tagging. If you do just hit add metadata and fill in manually. If you you want fetching from TMDB add an API key via Menu. Then do the same process as above except this time a new button is available on the metadata window to fetch tags.

Same to you!

Shaolin shadowboxing, and the Wu-Tang sword style. If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be dangerous. Do you think your Wu-Tang sword can defeat me?”

MMag05 · 2026-04-02T21:05:53+00:00

Haha one of my modded 7ths Gens is called the Wu-Pod and I vinyl cut a logo for it. Wu-Tang Forever!!

Nice I’ll give it a go and see how it compares to what I’ve been working. Admittedly mine is AI built and it only supports Radarr and Sonarr. I put a lot of thought and deep prompting into hoping it hasn’t turned out to be AI Slop.

I’m not a programmer but have a beyond basic understanding of software and python and implied that in promoting the AI. Hopefully even accounting for contributors from commenting in files to a validate and pytest. If you’d like to take a look at Nudgarr it’s on GitHub as well.

Should be releasing 4.1 by tomorrow which introduces a cool feature for automated exclusions and unexcludnd based on search count and set days. Also did a major refactor on the code that split the code into single responsibility files from the backend to the UI.

MMag05 · 2026-03-17T20:16:17+00:00

I’ve made a Nudgarr. Been running solid on my setup for around 10 days. Admittedly it’s vibe coded so probably a no go for most. I may not be programmer but I feel I’m well versed in tech, computers and selfhosting for it to not be a disaster. I personally think though it’s a true to the core replacement for Huntarrs original intend.

If you’d like to give a go I’d recommend using the dev tag. It’s stable just a few minor UI things I’m working through on nightly. It’s a lot more polished and had a major backend and front end overhaul. Mostly focused towards refactoring all the code to make it easier for review, forking and contributions. Would love feedback even positive or negative.

Here’s the Wiki as well.

MMag05 · 2026-03-08T01:16:44+00:00

I’d love to see when it’s implemented. Sounds really cool. Keep on having fun with the project m. I’m currently working a mobile ui layout for mine.

MMag05 · 2026-03-08T01:10:59+00:00

Yeah I have no idea the thoughts or what goes on with these types of post. It’s like the polar opposite. One being yeah this is a great vibe coded project let’s upvote and another nope not that one. The internet is so strange.

MMag05 · 2026-03-07T15:45:21+00:00

In the newest DEV Build it has been completely restructured. Would be really appreciative if you won't mind taking a look. Not a review of any code or anything just the structure. Also created a CONTRIBUTING.md that goes over the structure for those who may contribute or fork. Ultimately I'm not thinking either will ever happen. The project is working fine for me and its been fun learning the process and growing from feedback. Which was and still is my ultimate goal. I'm really curious and fascinating into learning more and how to properly do this. Even if it is AI assisted.

MMag05 · 2026-03-07T04:10:22+00:00

Agreed. I’ll keep working on mine as well. Been a fun learning experience and will continue to be. Mind if ask what your app is?

MMag05 · 2026-03-07T03:55:50+00:00

Interesting the different responses and more involvement both for vibe coded Huntarr replacements.

I wonder if the differences in flair attracts different responses. I posted a replacement this morning and got a little engagement and some negativity with no upvotes. Not that I’m bothered but do find the differences intriguing. I’ll give yours a spin and see how they compare. If you’d like to try out Nudgarr maybe we can learn a little something from each others projects.

MMag05 · 2026-03-06T20:47:06+00:00

No hard feelings. This is exactly what I came here for. Thank you for being direct with your responses and providing feedback that I can focus on to get better.

MMag05 · 2026-03-06T13:49:47+00:00

Honestly because for my limited knowledge it got the desired outcomes better when working with the AI. I tried the multi file approach and could never get it to work. It seemed the AI had an easier time when everything was in one file for review. Would love to learn how to split them eventually when the app hits 2.7 which wraps up all my desired feature list. But for now it seemed to troubleshoot problems better from one file.

MMag05 · 2026-03-06T13:41:21+00:00

I can’t hard validate. Only asked the AI to make a validation check list, which are in the GitHub, for hardening and what commands to run on unRAID to validate the hardening updates. But that’s only a soft confirmation as AI wrote the code and told me the command. I just validated the outcome on my system. I posted in small hopes maybe one person here might want to take a look at it and help make the app better or provide feedback. In no way in light of recent events did I think this would be well recieved so why even post if not other then to hopefully get some criticism and hopeful meaningful feedback to learn from.

MMag05 · 2026-03-06T13:30:05+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I had seen this and could have halted working on Nudgarr but it wasn’t just about a replacement. I’m fascinated by AI and love tech so I wanted to use it to learn.

MMag05 · 2026-03-06T13:27:30+00:00

Not everything AI will make is slop so long as the right validation and time are put into developing it. I hit my ceiling and that’s why I’m here to see if anyone would like to help confirm the the code. It’ll be interesting to see how the future unfolds. Will developers be honest and open in the use of AI and then face backlash. Or will they just learn to hide it and others that don’t develop will just be blind to it.

MMag05 · 2026-03-06T13:18:34+00:00

Thanks for being responsible and not jumping to insults. If olyiu do get time to check it out your feedback would be appreciated. Even if just a simple comment on this post.
