Virual, w Whats your preferred codec?

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.

Banding?

Virual,

Banding is that annoying color gradient you see sometimes in dark scenes.

Example

On the left is 8 bit and on the right is 10 bit.

argv_minus_one,

Hold up. That entire image is 8-bit. It’s a JPEG image. JPEG can’t encode more than 8 bits per channel. Nor can most displays, including mine, display more than 8 bits per channel. And yet the left half of your image exhibits far worse banding than the right half.

The left half looks more like 5 bits per channel rather than 8. You’d see that kind of banding in gradients back in the days of Windows 3.1, when 16-bit color was common. (16-bit color uses 5 bits each for red and blue, and 6 bits for green.)

Virual,

It’s an exaggerated example to demonstrate the concept of banding more clearly, not a technical breakdown.

argv_minus_one,

Then it should be marked as such. It’s highly misleading to anyone who doesn’t know better. Again, you’re demonstrating the difference between 5-bit and 8-bit color, not the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color.

Virual,

The purpose of the comment is to demonstrate banding. The only reason I marked it in bits is to show how banding can be reduced in video encodes by increasing the bit depth, not the specifics depths itself, it’s not a technical write-up.

OfficerBribe, w Whats your preferred codec?

x264 or x265, depends on release and availability. If x265 looks better than x264 then it is x265 for me. In some instances I have caught x264 looking better, although not often.

overfox, w What's the best way to rip music off Spotify so that I can store it on my HDD?

Spytify works well. It works by recording the audio output of your pc while Spotify plays. It’ll produce audio files with all the song info filled in.

Can also detect and mute ads if you don’t have Spotify premium. If you do have it, you can also record with higher bitrate/quality.

aldalire,

Woah, this is awesome work. I’m amazed as usual with the open source community and with people willing to share their computation for this.

Closed-source AI models, huh? The only thing that comes to mind is NovelAI's model leak, and the leaker allegedly burnt a 0-day exploit to do it.

Keeboy, w Is movie-web down for anyone else?

Try vpns or other browsers but you can always just host it your self

Anticorp,

Is there a git repo for the code?

Keeboy, w What's the best way to rip music off Spotify so that I can store it on my HDD?

You can try Deemix but the project Is dead but it still works it takes Spotify Playlist finds the songs on deezer and downloads it what sometimes gives you higher quality music then Spotify

Fleecer74, w Has anyone tried MovieBoxPro in Chromecast?

It has a android tv app, it’s like $20 a year for vip. I have an invite code if you want it

s08nlql9,

Yes sure, is there a free trial?

jeanofthedead, w Where's the go-to place for UK TV, that I could reasonably get into?

I mean, just use Stremio and get everything from around the world?

tun,

Q: Where do I fish?

A: In the ocean … Okay here is the better answer. In the Indian ocean.

liliumstar, w Newbie who wants to get into Uploading, but it confused about everything around video encoding

By definition, a remux doesn’t encode the video or audio, so makemkv generally does it’s thing correctly. If you want to make a remux, it’s eac3to and/or makemkv to collect it all together.

aldalire for president!

aldalire,

I would be a poor choice of candidate but there have been worse

smegger, w Newbie who wants to get into Uploading, but it confused about everything around video encoding

For the file name it contains the basic information about the file.

Batman begins =title

2005 = release year of the movie

1080p = video resolution

BluRay =source

The rest is encoding and video/audio information about the file

Framestor =release group name

It’s been forever since I last ripped a video, but I remember videohelp.com being a decent source of information

Working fine on my end - sounds like ISP filtering or possibly a firewall setting. With an ad blocker to handle popups, you could also try g o k u dot s x - not quite the same server collection, but you might find what you're looking for.

open_door,

That was it, yeah. Thank you.
