very interesting. i use mint as a default workstation and i put it on a lot of older machines for older people as a windows upgrade. it just seems to work except for a very occasional audio issue.

cool, thanks for the info!

Ubuntu was pushing snap,

interesting… ive not seen anything regarding snaps in mint… flatpak is the other option in the software manager

formatting. learn it. use it.

what distro?

if you distance yourself from every company that has a dick executive, youre going to need to go off-grid. good luck.

i get it… its still a quality service despite that one shithead exec

i found it very easy to grab a couple of pre-built containers… im using deluge and gluetun … im sure theres a transmission container out there also.

setup your auth info in gluetun, point your deluge/trans container at gluetun for its network and youre done.

why not both?

amazing right

ahhh, this is the line i was referring to… maybe i misunderstood

my work for the community has been purely volunteer for more than a year now (and less than half of it had been payable before that).

thats a lot of words for contributing for a single year, only half of which was ‘volunteer’

you seem to already have apps that do that stuff you want… i was more answering ‘how to make kodi work’

i do zero work for kodi. i curate a library i care about and that is not your end goal. kodi is definitely not for the ‘watch and delete’ crowd.

i cant even imagine wanting a mess of stuff as you describe, or expecting some media app to manage that mess on the fly. but hey, if thats how you want it. good luck.

ive got 2500 movies and > 35,000 episodes in my library.

kodi is best as a front-end for an already curated library. ive used it extensively since the xbmc days…

i use mediaelch to scrape, generate metadata files and rename files and folders into a standard way. it [can] generate things in a kodi-compatible format. kodi is set to just pull in that data. i concurrently use emby (jellyfin) to access that same metadata.

your problem is conflating the curation of your library with the applications that will use it.

kodi does need a full computer to run. thats where emby comes in. its for viewing the same shit on any other device

weird, thats exactly what patty hearst said
