I also use a Hetzner Storagebox for my Jellyfin instance, I mount it via SMB. Works great.

I’ve been using nextdns.io with great success. It let’s you customise your settings and gives you a personal URL to paste into your private DNS

They’re still visible with the current xmanager version

Bloodyashes,

Yeah but the change is server sided so it will stop working soon I suppose.

crag,

No. Xmanager patch unlocks premium features. So literally you’re a premium user.

iamroot,

It depends on whether the feature is server-side restricted. For example, xManager can’t set audio quality to very high.

As I mention further in the thread, I am a premium Spotify user and they have been removing lyrics from songs that used to have them recently. It may not matter if you have the features or not, if they’re just going to be removing the lyrics anyway. Which makes it even shittier that they would advertise it as a premium feature, just for users to subscribe and find out none of the songs they want lyrics for have them anymore.

this is one of the reasons i’m afraid to visit japan. not just immigration.

and btw, fair use isn’t a thing over there IIRC. not that would had mattered as gameplay recordings are very derivative.

freeman, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

Interestingly the game is downloading for me. I have had it in my library for some time now.

Is it saying its been pulled for new sales only?

apprehensively_human,

Pulling a game from the steam store does not stop people from downloading it if already in their library.

freeman,

Ah. That makes sense.

unfnknblvbl, (edited ) w Now you have to pay to see lyrics on spotify

As a Spotify Artist, I bet I don’t even see a single hundredth of a penny for somebody paying extra for the lyrics, either…

And even if Spotify did pay out extra for lyrics, I’m sure they’d find a way to screw my band out of royalties like they currently are anyway.

I pirated it anyway. I owned a PS4 copy, pirated it on PC, played on both and greatly enjoyed myself both times, and sold the copy to second hand reseller (Cex) that I buy all my games from. I neevr pay full price and never support the industry. The only digital copies of games I have are either ones that were free for a time, or ones that are free forever. Until the gaming industry stops releasing half-finished products, and stops overworking their employees, I will keep on not passing my financial support their way.

Anyone who still financially supports Ubisoft is at their own fault at this point.

killabeezio, w [HELP] Setting up a Jellyfin server with different (remote) storage servers

Not sure where you got the idea that it’s not advisable to mount the box via NFS. You can totally do this. I would make some adjustments though.

I would use mergerfs to union multiple mounts into one. You would then download to the local mount which is the drive connected directly to your seed box. Then I would have a remote mount to the nfs mount. You merge these into one so that when you link up jellyfin, it won’t know the difference and you can just stream like normal.

You need to copy files from the local drive to the remote, so you can try and roll your own solution by using rclone or use something like cloudplow which solves this issue as well. Cloudplow uses rclone as well, but monitors for changes automatically.

As far as copying files, why are you using sync anyway? It’s pretty dangerous. Just use move or copy instead. This way you don’t need to keep copies on your computer and the server.

As far as streaming from the nfs mount. You may need to make some changes to the cache settings and ensure they are set correctly.

With a setup like that, you should have no problems though.

DJDarren, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

Then Ubisoft put out an ‘update’ to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

So I guess I’ll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

SaintWacko,

Wait, seriously? I haven’t finished it either! What broke?

GunnarRunnar,

Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

ivanafterall,

It feels very much in the spirit of the game.

ours,

Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

Technically it's not.

They don't even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.

Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group's permission to redistribute their works.

Draedron,

Just pirate it

Psythik,

I wouldn’t stress it; you didn’t miss much. Like every modern Ubisoft title, the game was very repetitive. You had enough playtime to see everything the game had to offer.

Haha, they're pulling Black Flag so so that Skull & Bones has less competition.

@redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Plot twist: they’re renaming Skull and Bones to Black Flag remastered

XTornado,

Nah… I would guess a remaster or something at some point. The skull&bones game has been dead for a long time…they will release it as they legally have to…but they will not give a crap after.

Sibbo, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

Yeah but why? Does it cost money to keep the game available?

BearJCC,

Opportunity cost, possibly. They might be remastering it and wish to sell it at a higher cost, or think they can get more money through a different retailer.

GunnarRunnar,

That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn't be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can't compete with a ten year old release.

WarmSoda, (edited )

A lot of publishers remove the original game when they release a ‘remaster’. Burnout Paradise, Metro Last Light, etc

whodoctor11,
@whodoctor11@lemmy.ml avatar

Perhaps to make people pay for the new one.

520,

That makes no sense. Black Flag is a completely different genre to modern AC.

whodoctor11, (edited )
@whodoctor11@lemmy.ml avatar

Didn’t you read the post? They are probably doing a remaster or remake and don’t want people to buy the old version…

520, (edited )

That would only make sense if you a) had a competing product on the market or b) at the very least actually announced one. The remaster/remake is a mere rumour, we don't even know if there's substance behind it.

Hosting your game on steam is indeed not free, and the price can vary greatly. It may not be the reason of the removal though
