I recently managed to run the stuff mentioned int he title with the help of:

After having done this I wrote this script, which you can wget with: wget <link copied after right-clicking on the "Raw" button on the gist page>. (now: wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Vulwsztyn/b600cb0a4ced7090cb1408e718b990b0/raw/fc1396164f6395100cf2a08e14aa5cf3efdb0a52/arr.py)

Requirements:

  • python
  • pystache (pip install pystache)

How to run

python arr.py (it will ask you a buch of questions before doing anything. You can ofc analyse the code yourself.

What it does?

In short this will ask you for directory names including the root ARR_DIR. In the ARR_DIR it will create the media and configs directories and 3 files:

  • docker-compose.yml
  • .env
  • openvpn.Dockerfile (optional)

You can run it in "dry run" with or without creating the files in the directory you are running it from by answering the 1st question ("Dry run?") with y.

Services in the docker compose:

  • jellyfin - client to watch the media
  • jellyseer - admin page to request the media from arr service
  • jackett - indexer to tell arr services where to download from
  • qflood - dockerised qbittorrent client
  • sonarr (optional) - tv shows
  • radarr (optional) - movies
  • lidarr (optional) - music
  • readarr (optional) - ebooks
  • readarr-audio-books (optional) - audiobooks
  • bazarr (optional) - subtitles
  • homarr (optional) - admin page - I haven't really set it up yet
  • vpn (optional)
  • heimdall (optional) - admin page to aggregate links to all the services

You can see the flowchart for similar setup here

VPN

If you don't tell the script not to use vpn it will

I managed to use th openvpn service with ProtonVPN (which is free for one device). You can use any other if you know how.

How to use?

The script will tell you but in short:

Why Dockerfile

For ProtonVPN this script is needed, so I do it in Dockerfile, since it is impossible in docker-compose.yml

Other services

The script will tell you the same info.

Heimdall

Setup the dashbaord with links to every service.

Go to Go to http://{server_ip}:8090. For each of apps click 'Application list' -> 'Add' and:

  • Add jellyfin with url http://{server_ip}:8096
  • Add jellyseerr with url http://{server_ip}:5055
  • Add sonarr with url http://{server_ip}:8989
  • Add radarr with url http://{server_ip}:7878
  • Add lidarr with url http://{server_ip}:8686
  • Add readarr with url http://{server_ip}:8787
  • Add readarr-audio-books with url http://{server_ip}:8786
  • Add bazarr with url http://{server_ip}:6767
  • Add qbittorrent with url http://{server_ip}:8080

Jackett

Add a few indexers to jackett using the "add indexer" button. You can see the indexers Ithe author of the reddit guide uses use in the image.

Qbittorrent

Go to qbittorrent http://{server_ip}:8080. Default username is admin and password is adminadmin. Change those under Tools -> Options -> WebUI if you wish.

Under Tools -> Options:

  • set 'Default Save Path' to /data/torrents
  • set 'Keep incomplete torrents in:' to /data/torrents/incomplete

Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr/Readarr-audio-books

Go to the service (e.g. from heimdall).

  1. set username and password
  2. Settings -> Download Client -> Add -> qBittorrent
    • Host: {server_ip}, Port: 8080, Username: admin, Password: adminadmin (the last 2 will be different if you changed them)
  3. Settings -> Media management -> Root folder -> Add:
    • /data/media/shows for sonarr
    • /data/media/movies for radarr
    • /data/media/music for lidarr
    • /data/media/ebooks for readarr
    • /data/media/audiobooks for readarr-audio-books
  4. Add every relevant indexer
    • Settings -> Indexers -> Add indexer -> Torznab
    • In Jackett copy the Torznab link for the indexer you want to add and paste it in URL
    • Set the API key to the one from Jackett (top right)

Bazarr

Go to bazarr at http://{server_ip}:6767

For sonarr and radarr:

  1. Go to Settings -> General -> Sonarr/Radarr
  2. Set the API key to the one from sonarr/radarr (Settings -> General)
  3. Set address and port

Jellyfin

Go to http://{server_ip}:8096/web/#/dashboard/libraries and add all libraries in /data/media

Hardware acceleration

Go to http://{server_ip}:8096/web/#/dashboard/playback/transcoding. Set proper hardware acceleration. If using nvidia then Nvidia NVENC Check which formats work at https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

Jellyseer

Jellyfin integration

Go to http://{server_ip}:8096/web/#/dashboard/keys, Add new key wiht name Jellyseer and copy it.

Go to http://{server_ip}:5055/settings/jellyfin, paste the key, set address and port.

Sonarr/Radarr integration

Go to http://{server_ip}:5055/settings/services and add radarr and sonarr with API keys from their settings -> General.

What next?

After setting everything up to check if it works go to Jellyseer and request some show or movie, which will then be downloaded and available in jellyfin.

Youtube Downloader? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Since yt-dlp doesn't work anymore, is there a replacement?

Finally there are some more methods to tackle LCP DRM, but the messages to the creator from Readium consortium is so frustrating. Just read this:

"We were planning to now focus on new accessibility features on our open-source Thorium Reader, better access to annotations for blind users and an advanced reading mode for dyslexic people. Too bad; disturbances around LCP will force us to focus on a new round of security measures, ensuring the technology stays useful for ebook lending (stop reading after some time) and as a protection against oversharing."

I was searching through the megathread (https://rentry.co/megathread) and I found that yts.mx and 1337x.to are labeled as 'fake clones'. I have used both of these several times

Are yts.mx and 1337x.to considered unsafe? I have them in my prowlarr and wondering if I should remove them

Edit: I was wrong 1337x is not labeled as a fake clone, I misread the fake clone which is 1377x

281
 
 

So, I might be losing my mind here, because digging through the megathreads, fmhy and Awesome-Jellyfin hasn't turned up anything like what I'm looking for, but I could swear I read about an *arr tool once before that would watch a download folder for files, and create properly named symlinks to the file in your library folder. Looking around, the closest I've found is Fixarr, but that's definitely not it. I'm super confused. Is my memory just playing tricks on me?

Edit: It was just Radarr and Sonarr I was thinking of. Thank for your help, everyone.

yt-dlp CLI vs. yt-dlp GUI (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by soaringeagle@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 
 

On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?

I'm also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal

As I'm fairly new to the piracy community it would be helpful if I could get a compilation of guides and tutorials that people use besides the ones that I have currently.

What are some other helpful guides?

Sorry for my previous post. How do I play these releases on a Debian based system? I tried finding a converter but all results came up as either it not being possible, or they didn't work.

Woke up to my computer being updated to W11 from W10, not too happy about that. I want to use massgrave to change my window to W10 LTSC.

I am not interested in Linux.

So, I went to massgrave.dev and did the script, hit 1, etc. It just say something about permanent changed to key or whatever.

So I went download W10 LTSC iso, hit setup.exe and it asked me for product key. I entered my key, say it's not right one.

So could somebody run me step by step how to go about it? I'm not really tech savvy. I want literal step by step, telling me exactly what to do.

Thank you.

Edit: folks didn't really provide step by step here. But I managed to do it. I activiated script via powershell and hit change edition, changed it to LTSC. And then I downloaded window 10 consumer version from massgrave and run setup.exe and done. You might have to do first step shown in first part of massgrave.dev.

So my pc went from w10 to w11 (woyhouy my approval) to w11 LTSC, to w10 IoT enterprise. I'm good now.

Here's some on my list:

  • Red Dead Redemption 2 - I do not want to deal with the Rockstar Games launcher.

  • Tom Clancy's Breakpoint - The game's add-on packs feel like Ubisoft is trying to nickel and dime gamers who would instinctively buy the GOTY equivalent of a title. I do not want to deal with a Ubisoft launcher or account.

  • Zombi - According to the Steam reviews it required a Uplay login to validate the game before you play and that version of the Ubisoft service no longer exists. This seems to have been rectified but I still don't trust it and don't want to go through the refund process if it hasn't.

  • Skyrim VR - I've already bought too many copies of Skyrim.

A bit of a "this is why I pirate" thread but more targeted at individual games.

Heyo fellow Pirates,

I’m new to Piracy and I have a question: my Lil Bro wants to watch Formula 1 Races live this evening and he said it’s only available for free on the Austrian TV Broadcast ORF (And he doesn’t want to pay for a VPN to use the Austrian thing).

Does anyone know a way to watch the Formula 1 live Stream pirated somewhere? :>

Ich bin zu dum zum torrenting. Hier ein paar links zu streaming websites, welche teilweise auch Sachen auf deutsch haben ;)

https://bs.to/ https://s.to/ https://filmpalast.to/ https://streamkiste.tv/ https://xmovies8.io/ https://kinoz.to/ https://streampalace.org/

Ich hab einfach eine unzensierte KI gefragt. Falls interesse besteht kann ich da noch näher drauf eingehen.

Viel Spaß. Und übrigens, wenn ihr schon Piraten seid, lehst euch doch mal etwas zu Agorismus durch.

Yes I am aware YouTube has Superbowl live concerts but I'm looking for one that has EC-3 codec support (dolby spatial aud). Is there even a resource that allows anyone to view Superbowl lives in ec-3. Yes I know a giant tech company that is obviously plastered across the performances offers ec-3 in their platform but you need to pay to hear it in ec-3.

I know about DRM from games and how it's a plague these days but I've heard a rumor that it would be implemented in videos, so how will this work if it comes to fruition?

This is a grey area for piracy since you need to own the ebook but... you also don't really "own" anything purchased in digital distribution and this is removing DRM from that. Suffice to say, if this were Nintendo they would try to sue you so it is probably more piracy than not.

Confirmed working as of a few minutes ago since I wanted to rebuild this with KVM.

Based on https://www.reddit.com/r/Calibre/comments/1c2ryfz/ and comments thereof.

  1. Create a new virtual machine. I recently used KVM directly but also had success with Virtual Box.
  2. Install Windows 10
  3. Disable internet access for the VM.
  4. Download and install Kindle 2.4.70904 (SHA256 2e2e4e5bb9fd585947244a4a62ce5baca47818c439d0213cc9a5a96f9a692119) from https://kindleforpc.s3.amazonaws.com/70904/KindleForPC-installer-2.4.70904.exe
  5. Run the Kindle app and disable updating (Tools > Options > General > disable "Automatically install updates..."). Optionally change the save path.
  6. Run the batch script disable_k4pc_download.bat (SHA256 656fbabfa9d1bb3fd1160100391fbf3886597633178e37cffcffe747d3b66567
    ) under step 2a at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=361503 to ACTUALLY disable automatic upgrading
  7. Re-enable networking.
  8. Download and install Calibre. 7.13.0 from https://download.calibre-ebook.com/7.13.0/. This version is known working and all efforts I found used Windows so I went with the msi (SHA256 7c1b57b6f55076cc646a30eb6394ec00df18be373c3badf80d7ee39152ccffda
    ) since this install exists solely to strip DRM before I then add them to my Calibre-Web server.
  9. Launch Calibre and install the KFX Input plugin from the built in plugin manager
  10. Separately download the 10.0.9 version of the DeDRM plugin (newer may work but, again, lazy) from https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/download/v10.0.9/DeDRM_tools_10.0.9.zip. SHA256 of d46e7ff94a46dc871eb9b7e639e6da1883823cd5a9d705d53f51bd9c251aabda
  11. Launch Kindle, login, and download whatever you want to strip DRM from. I did run into some weirdness where I had an exclamation point after logging in but restarting the k4pc app allowed me to download books.
  12. In Calibre, add all the books you downloaded by clicking and dragging the .azw file from Explorer to the Calibre window. You must do this from the downloaded directory as DeDRM is dependent on metadata in the same directory. This can be automated using a batch script pretty trivially.
  13. Then convert them to a non azw3 format (mobi if you are putting it back on a Kindle. epub otherwise).
  14. And then all the epub files in your Calibre library should have had DRM removed and be ready to import into your real Calibre library (or in a random folder on your computer)

Update (so someone tell that dipshit who steals guides to upload his copy):

Looks like Amazon have blocked sufficiently old versions of k4pc from downloading ebooks now. Unclear exactly what the criteria are. Some people think it is any book published after Apr 22 2025. Others (self included) have noticed it applies to purchases after that. My suspicion is that different publishers have different deals with Amazon and their cutoffs are based on that.

So either way: The above is mostly useless now. Yay.

Issues with Myinsta (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Korrok@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 
 

Is anyone else also having issues where some pictures and videos take a fuckton to load?

It's been happening for the last week and I'm not sure if I should hop to a different instagram app, if it is a general problem with all of them or if it's just my device.

296
 
 

We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

This is not limited to yt-dlp. Tests have been run with the same account on various official YouTube TV clients (PS3, web browser, apple tv) and they are also only getting DRM formats for videos.

We live in hell-world.

297
 
 

Am I correct in thinking this?

Lately I have been using mp3streams on Kodi to listen to full albums.

However, sometimes it stops in the middle of songs and skips to the next song.

Are there any alternatives to mp3streams? Maybe ones that do not require Kodi?
