I haven’t seen a cursive S in years

This post is painful to read.

1. The codec isn’t EC-3. It’s E-AC3. You forgot got the “A” which literally stands for audio. Also known as Dolby Digital Plus.
2. If you want Spatial Audio, E-AC3 isn’t sufficient. You need JOC also. This is the spatial metadata that accompanies the multichannel DD+ audio.
3. It’s almost guaranteed that live events won’t have JOC metadata attached because the whole point of objects is that they have to be placed with software in post. It’s not something that happens on the fly. If it is there, it not be noticeable.

You’re being silly. Just enjoy the game, wherever you can find it.

Edit to add this link for reference.

It is a really good thought. Your comment prompted me to check the whole machine (SSD + raid array) and I don't have any hard-linking of media files, torrent files or anything like that. So that isn't it.

I think it's just a bug in the system.

Not yet and hopefully I won't have to do that.

Yeah, I thought about that too. It's why I noted in the post that my files are set to delete and not be moved to the trash first. Those settings are in options/advanced.

I deleted .25 terabytes and it hasn't changed at all. It used to increment up after every deletion, so this is new.

It doesn't. I rolled the version back to 4.6.7 and it didn't help, so I moved it forward again. Restarted the container, then the stack, then the whole physical machine. Nothing so far. Yeah, maybe I'll file a report on their page.

I haven't received any PMs.

No idea why that didn't come on my basic search. Thank you. You are doing god's work.

Hm. I can't find it. Can you PM me the torrent number? It's in the url. Or the link?

Dolby Digital (e-ac & e-ac3) are lossy codecs. So transcoding a lossy codec to a lossless codec, is not a good idea.

You can read more about it here: https://interviewfor.red/en/transcodes.html

Yikes. Thanks for catching that. I mistyped.

Nothing. It’s just that you don’t see people use flac very often as an audio codec for movies or TV series. At least I haven’t seen it very often.

The only issue would be if you were trying to transcode Dolby Digital to flac. That is not a transcode you want to do.

Okay so I just went a private general tracker and looked up an av1 movie. It is a 2014 feature film encoded by the WhiskyJack group (the better trackers don't allow AV1 content yet). For this film, the audio codec is Opus. I looked in the nfo and for the audio file, it says that they are using Opus 5.1 with a 32 bit rate. That's not ideal. For 6-channel audio, we recommend 256 kb/s. 192 is acceptable, but it's going to be another 20 megabytes to bump it up to 256, so why not do it?

Also, it doesn't tell you what the source is. So if the original audio was ac3 or e-ac3, it is not going to sound great.

I'm pretty active in the av1 community. Most of us who use av1 encode our own from the raw blurays or high quality remuxes. Besides the av1 content on public trackers, I think I saw a group called onlyfaffs and another one called WhiskyJack who were both putting out some av1 content, but imo, their filesizes are too large, so I avoid them if possible.

The other thing to worry about is that most people who use av1 also convert the audio to opus. Fully opensource codecs and all that. The issue is you don't know what bitrate they are using for their conversion. So audio is a concern too when downloading av1 content.

I don’t have an extra invite tho… maybe someone else does?

Saving this for lots of use in the future.

You can rename the files using qBit. Just use its “rename files” feature. You can also rename folders this way.

As far as tagging in musicbrainz, I don’t think you will be able to do that because it will mean that you will have changed the contents of the files themselves. I could be wrong on that and someone else might be able to tell you how to do it though.

Obviously, you loose some from the kanban board

This is my point.

Also, isnt nextcloud deck via caldav read only?

Caldav doesn’t support kanban lmao.
