Virual
Banding is that annoying color gradient you see sometimes in dark scenes.
On the left is 8 bit and on the right is 10 bit.
HEVC 10 bit in order to reduce banding for animation, especially during dark scenes. I know H264 Hi10 exists, but it has poor hardware support, so using HEVC 10 bit is the best option (I don't own a single streaming device that supports HW accelerated Hi10, besides my PC). Also, an added benefit is reduced file size. I find that doing my own encodes is very rarely worth it, but when I do, I use FFmpeg in the CLI and not tdarr.
Why both Overseerr and Ombi?
You can install any extension you want, but it's a bit of a process. https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/
Overseerr - Request management and media discovery tool for the Plex ecosystem, can auto add requests to Sonarr/Radarr
Jellyseerr - Fork of Overseerr for Jellyfin support
It's worth mentioning Kapowarr which is a new app in the Arr suite for downloading comics, it's still a bit feature-barren because it's new, but it's absolutely functional.
It's not so much that I can't find things on torrents, it's that I don't have to worry about something not having seeders so it's more reliable for old uploads. In addition I've found it to be better for single episodes, multiple release groups that I use seem to only use Usenet.
As for things that aren't movies/tv, I think Usenet is better for slightly more obscure content, such as comic books.
1337x is my favorite right now for TV/movies and Nyaa for anime. Between that and Usenet, I can get 99.5% of what I want.
I use qbittorent and Sabnzb for downloads.
Since you've been out of the piracy game for awhile you may consider looking into *arr apps (radarr, sonarr, prowlarr, etc). They can auto download movies/tv you want and format them in a way that Plex/Jellyfin like, so you can get a whole library of content with just a few clicks. There's a bit of a learning curve to the setup though.
I prefer nanazip to 7zip because it's just forked 7zip that's been updated for modern windows. They're working on a dark mode too.
