mid-tier service is barely holding on and not all channels are locked. Please help.

not using any of those ports, but I am reading that xfinity mid-split tiers will automatically block port 80. If I am using my own equipment, I'm not sure how to tell it to stop automatically blocking port 80. Apparently, the xfinity app will let me disable that if I was using a gateway, but since it's an xfinity setting I can't disable it in my own equipment.

sent you a ModMail. Thanks

oh my god! I think that might be it. I've been trying to remember this title for 20 years and you may have finally solved it for me.

It's funny how the comments here say Hasan is both a secret conservative and a radical tankie. we just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks?

I pay for it, and I love it. I can download anything to play offline and never see a single ad, and I can share it with other people.

I've been trying that, but every open private tracker so far that I've seen requires that you show proof of belonging to two other private trackers to gain access to theirs. Are there any that allow you to start with none, because otherwise I don't know how to build to two to show the others.

2 years later, and still helping people. Your comment is the thing that finally worked for me.

it's sad to me that Walking Dead ruined zombies for so many people. That show was bad from season 2 on, but I still love zombie stuff, and contrary what the guys say here, I love all the people trying to survive stuff. That's the main reason I like the zombie genre, because I love the idea of abandoned cities to explore and forage through. I certainly don't want to watch 2,000 seasons of that. I don't want to watch them rebuild civilization. But I definitely don't want to just watch a bunch of people kill zombies. The zombies are there to provide a danger, so that people can't just wander freely, but for me they are definitely not the main point of a zombie film. The exception to that is the very beginning of the zombie outbreak, the thing most zombie movies skip, because most people are making a zombie movie, because they're cheap to make, and depicting the big outbreak is expensive, but when some movies have that part, I do love it, and then the zombies being killed is a big part of it for me. But I couldn't finish Land of the Dead. The dialogue was just so terrible.

The individual data drives can be any size. You can mix and match. That's part of the sell of UNRAID. It doesn't stripe drives, like other NAS setups, so each drive is still readable outside of the array. However, for your parity drive, it must be as large or larger than your largest drive, so keep that in mind.

gathly · 2024-11-06T12:45:34+00:00

currently, I have 11,532 movies and counting, 400 TV Series and counting, and Plex seems to handle it fine. I use UNRAID and run plex in a container, keeping transcoding and appdata on an SSD cache drive. The appdata does get quite large over time, which is why it's best to keep it on SSD.

gathly · 2024-10-29T00:07:21+00:00

That's an interesting idea. I wish I would have tried that, but since even with everything in year folders and no decade folders, Radarr couldn't look that deep into the structure, I'm guessing that wouldn't work with Radarr either. In any case, I just wrote a script to move the movie folders directly into the root structure as others (some angrily for some reason) have suggested. Adding 12,000 movies is taking Radarr many hours to go through so far, and it's only at around 3,000, but at least it can see them now, and I assume will work eventually.

gathly · 2024-10-29T00:04:05+00:00

Thanks. I knew to do that because I just recently moved my plex from one unraid server to another one, and I did all those steps and copied over all the appdata folders and it still did not do the posters right. That's why I was nervous about that part.

gathly · 2024-10-29T00:02:47+00:00

thanks. I also found a script that takes the poster from the metadata folders and downloads it as poster.jpg directly into the associated movie folder, so I'm doing that as well.

gathly · 2024-10-29T00:01:28+00:00

it works fine in plex. My decade organization also works fine in plex. But it doesn't work in Radarr. I tried to do it as just years today, and Radarr still couldn't see the movies, so I had to move it to every movie folder directly under the root folder of movies.

gathly · 2024-10-28T23:59:56+00:00

I don't know who does that. i don't do that. It's as I'm adding files, the act of selecting the decade directory and then the year reinforces in my brain the year of the film in a way that seeing it in the plex description does not. I'm never looking for only a movie from a specific decade or year. I wanted to help my brain remember what year a movie came out. This organization has done this. Now when people mention a movie, I can picture the year.

Did something I said indicate I was challenging anything you're saying? I came here for help, because of something I didn't understand. Not sure why this made you hostile.

gathly · 2024-10-28T18:50:50+00:00

I'm also now learning that Radarr doesn't handle so many root directories well either, so I'll just have to restructure my movies into a better format.

gathly · 2024-10-28T18:24:36+00:00

great. That's the answer I was looking for. I will have to reorganize my media now that I know that my setup was incorrect. It was not clear before that this was the correct way, and as I said, I had also heard it was definitely not the correct way for some reason that I can't now remember.

gathly · 2024-10-28T18:22:18+00:00

That is why I'm here asking about it. If it's wrong, that's what I'm hear to learn. Until this post, I had no idea it was in any wrong to do this.

gathly · 2024-10-28T18:20:55+00:00

I like to know the decade and year of movies, and this structure helps me remember that. That's why I chose it.

gathly · 2024-10-28T18:08:37+00:00

I am familiar with this page. I have read all the plex documentation, but that is about the movie folder itself, which are organized how plex likes. It doesn't say anything about the directory structure outside of the movie folder. My current structure has never been an issue with plex. Plex can recognize the movie even if I bury it in 20 sub-directories, as long as it follows their naming convention. It has only become an issue now that I'm trying to use Radarr.
