I love when a character says the title of the movie.

[–] hakunawazo 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

IMDB has many lists like that: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls523489971/

Or if you search by tags:
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=title-spoken-by-character&explore=keywords

(Although I don't think they really said "The Godfather Part II" in that movie).

[–] thedirtyknapkin 3 points 1 day ago

hmm, feels less significant when the title is just the name of a place or character. or just a common noun. of course they say gladiator at least once in "gladiator" a movie about gladiators.

do they really say "saving private Ryan" in that movie though? it's been a minute.

Truly they were an...aqua teen hunger force.

I never noticed this before but is Russell Crowes helmet is the MFDOOM mask??

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

DOOM had a doctor doom style mask but when he saw gladiator he had someone make him one in that style

i thought that was mf doom for a second, haha

Hello Gladiator (2000) REMASTERED EXTENDED 1080p BluRay 10bit HEVC 6CH 4.3GB - MkvCage.

[–] TrickDacy 9 points 1 day ago

Lol I downloaded that movie recently. Pretty sure that is the exact file name I ended up with

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I bought that blu ray for $1 and it was well worth it.

Excellent bonus features about Roman society! Also IRL Commodus was wayyy more bonkers than I expected, yet Caligula and Nero are the ones we talk about as crazy.

Side note: blu ray still looks better than streaming by a long shot, garage sale season is the time to stock up on media.

[–] cm0002 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

blu ray still looks better than streaming by a long shot

The commercial offerings? Yes

Downloaded media + Plex/Jellyfin for streaming? No (Well, technically, depends on ones preferences, taste and configuration.)

Blu-ray also requires far more physical space

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I haven't hoisted the main sale in many many many moons, so I'm totally out of that world.

I've made enough that I felt I should support content I like for a while, but the contract has been falling apart with the number of streaming services and pulling paid content from your digital library.

[–] EvacuateSoul 2 points 1 day ago

Radarr downloaded it since I had the Collection monitored. It called it 'Untitled Gladiator Sequel' and put it in Jellyfin like that.

[–] errer 2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I haven’t had my coffee yet, someone please explain what’s going on

My name is Gladiator (2000) REMASTERED EXTENDED 1080p BluRay 10bit HEVC 6CH 4.3GB - MkvCage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Probably find-and-replace gone wrong. They should have seen it coming, lots of movies feature their title in the dialogue

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

He said the name of the movie!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

For a second I was wondering whether that was a giant zit on his left cheek but it isn't. However, it's really fun to scroll through his movies posters and see where they removed it and where they didn't.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Downloading a 1080p movie in HEVC? Hope it’s not a shared library.

ETA: Downvote all you want, but come back and talk to me when you try to share a library full of x265 1080p movies and tell me how your transcoding is going.

[–] cm0002 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

share a library full of x265 1080p movies and tell me how your transcoding is going.

Sounds like somebody missed the memo on hardware transcoding LMAO

I have a 200TB+ library full of 4K AND 1080p movies/shows, no issues transcoding here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I have hardware transcoding. I also have enough friends that more than 2 or 3 may be trying to watch something at the same time. Good job assuming the simplest setup, though.

[–] cm0002 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then something is wrong with your setup, HW transcoding should be able to handle 3 transcode streams of a HEVC 1080p video file easily. I've had peaks of 8-10 simultaneous transcoding streams without issue (going above 5 does require you to patch the Nvidia driver (if using Nvidia consumer GPUs))

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mine is hosted on a NAS. So no, not nvidia.

[–] cm0002 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well there's your problem, it ain't got no gas in it!

HW transcoding is more than just flipping the switch in the Plex dashboard.

For one, you need a GPU of some kind, even shitty or old ones like a 1060 will get you far

For two, it needs to be properly configured for PCIe pass through on Docker (if Plex is in a docker container)

For three, a NAS is like...second to last tier as far as Plex servers go (with a few exceptions) with the bottom tier being "repurposed old computer". While there's nothing wrong with that, you can't make generalized statements like you did based on that kinda setup.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I did make a generalized statement there, you're right. My opinions on the matter are largely influenced by the TRaSH Guides, which are a primary source for file quality settings for a significant portion of people managing media libraries. Best practices for 1080p is x264 since it 1) can be direct streamed on the most number of 1080p devices (just because you can transcode a bunch of streams at once doesn't mean you should), and 2) has video quality aspects that are important to consider if you're concerned with anything more than file size.

With all the files in "proper" formats, my NAS has no issues direct streaming, and transcoding the few files here and there that need it.

[–] cm0002 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I read through a bit, and it seems the whole anti-4K/x265 stance and even the anti-Transcoding stance as a whole was based on a Plex forum post "The Rules of 4K", which if you follow back to the source states:

NOTE: for 2022 – Plex has come a long way since this FAQ was originally written, HW transcoding has become more available and more stable, and tone mapping was recently added to address the hdr/sdr color conversion issues.

The first 4 ‘rules’ generally are no longer as important as they once were, but may still be a good thing to bear in mind.

And I agree with that statement, coupled with proper hardware (like I said even an old and cheap 1060 will do the job nicely, or even the cheap but new Intel Arc GPUs have proven excellent for this task) Plex's transcoding is rock solid, there's little reason to not transcode these days.

Plus it's not like device support for native x265 isn't growing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Excellent points. For my particular use-case scenario, x264 for 1080p works best for the users my library is shared with. I recently overhauled my library to get as much 1080p content into x264 as I could, and my friends have noticed a significant improvement in performance. I still have 4k content, but it's mostly for me since my personal setup supports it. Since my NAS isn't having to transcode literally everything now, it's no issue if it needs to transcode a few 4k streams for my remote users.

I'm running a DS918+, so certainly not the newest model, but it's still trucking. I was thinking about upgrading to a newer chassis model, but I see the newer ones have moved to AMD processors that don't support hardware transcoding. Go figure.

[–] cm0002 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking about upgrading to a newer chassis model, but I see the newer ones have moved to AMD processors that don't support hardware transcoding.

If you're open to suggestions, I'd suggest having your NAS doing what it's best at, serving as file storage and then build an actual server that'll be leaps and bounds better that's directly hooked into it. As a file server, that NAS has many years of life left.

Looking at the price that NAS cost new, you could build an absolute juggernaut of a Plex server for around the same price.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I’m overdue for a PC rebuild. Once I save up for that, I’ll probably migrate the server portion of Plex to the new rig.
