    Thanks for your comment! The Sofabaton is something I might be considering. Can it be programmed without the app? Does it have an internal database of devices, or it needs to download each individual device from the app each time? I’d like it to be rather…independent, and offline…But not sure if that’s possible.

    And…If you had the opportunity to buy another Harmony, would you? Seems there’s still some available for sale in my area. Do I depend on any service from Logitech? Any app that needs to be online, servers, etc? Or can it operate on its own offline

Recommendations for a universal TV remote?

English

So…this is very tangentially related to Self Hosting, but hear me out…

We travel frequently, either for work or leisure. As a self-hoster, I always bring an Nvidia shield player on my travel bag, to connect to my Jellyfin host from whichever hotel we might be staying at, to watch at night for example.

But increasingly, this is becoming a pain in the butt. As most TVs aren’t directly hooked anymore to just the antenna or the hotel’s connection. No, they usually will be hooked to an Android box handling all sorts of crap, from the hotel welcoming screens to some info, to their pre-set channels. And the android remote works via HDMI-ARC to control the TV, of which they usually hide the damn OEM remote. So, if you unplug their android box to hook up your own player, you lose the TV controls. In some cases (Sony, mostly) you might be in luck finding the 3 physical buttons they include somewhere on the TV itself to navigate inputs and volume. But in some others, you might as well end up stuck in an Android app menu where you can’t get out (I’m looking at you Phillips). So I think my next addition would be to get an universal remote to sort all these quirks when traveling. Anyone else went through these considerations? Any recommendations?

      You mean it would have to also be…bigger data bitrate regardless of codec or… a higher position hierarchically in the quality list? As in, having to change the ‘quality’ from WebRIP-1080p to WebDL-1080p which somehow is one step further in the list? That would then trigger the custom format sections, ONLY? That would make shittier codecs but bigger files always win in this rating right?

    Sonarr and the codecs/formats...what am I missing?

    English Removed by mod

    So…I’m trying to make AV1 to be a preferred codec over x265. I made an AV1 custom format to follow the x265 one. And, in Profiles - HD 1080p, I set the score for AV1 to 40, while x265 has 10. And…yet, I see the following message when attempting a manual upgrade:

    Episode.S01E01.1080p.WEBRip.DS4K.AV1.mkv -Not a Custom Format upgrade for existing episode file(s). New: [AV1 Preferred] (0) do not improve on Existing: [x265 Preferred] (10)

    So…for some reason, AV1 is getting a 0. Why? It should be getting a 40. Where can I see the reason for this??

      Deluge/Radarr/Sonarr...How to best delete release group naming BEFORE the filename?

      English

      Hi guys!

      So…Yeah. I have your average Deluge/Sonarr/Radarr combo. What I’m finding increasingly annoying is, these days some release groups are putting their names more frequently BEFORE the filename. This makes it rather hard to find even the folders of the files being downloaded. Is there an easy way to address this? I’d like to keep the rest of the things in the filename there, and maybe even the release group name…but at the end of the file. The most important thing, the filename should come first. How to best do this?

      Thanks!
