Hmm, does it even support Dolby vision?

[–] Kbobabob 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yep!

Interesting. What kind of rips am I looking for then? I guess it's the 20-40gb ones?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Remux or straight Bluray. But Remuxes are always your best choice, if you don't need any of the extra content.

Awesome, thank you!

Even webrips will often contain it.

It just passes HDR and audio metadata to your TV/receiver. Works great.

Yea. I get Dolby Vision on my firetv cube 3rd gen. But there's different Dolby Vision profiles.

I just setup the arrs with qbittorrent using Docker on my NAS with overseer. I already had a Plex server setup on an N100 pointed at my NAS but now it is more automated. I was fine with the occasional manual adding of stuff but with how awful all of the services are now I just created my own that works for me.

Wow. I understood most of this.

took me a while to realize you meant sonarr and radarr by "arrs"

I have those too, though I am running on unraid.

previously I wrote my own program for converting, renaming and categorizing movies and tv shows, but now I just use Sonarr and Radarr.

I will need to setup TDarr soon to start saving on space.

Shhh, Guys, Sony is listening... 😉

Or they'll throw all their lawers at your instance admin. That actually worries me some.
