I have the DVD. It's somewhere in the pile.

I need to one day develop a DVD/BR/book catalogue app to get even vague idea about what exactly is on my shelves and boxes. It has long since gone unmanageable. At least I know what's my next major project after NaNoWriMo.

Also why I invested in the hardware and software for Blu-ray ripping. I now have a Pioneer drive in a USB enclosure, and can now rip even 4K Blu-rays from any region. So many special features I was missing out on, though a lot of disc releases are cheaping out on them these days.

Only annoying part about ripping is the freaking maze of playlists on many Blu-rays, especially for Special Features, and none of the player software I've tried yet has a feature to tell you what playlist and video file you're currently watching. So you basically have to rip everything and then check each video file afterwards.

My wife and I moved into our first house together on Halloween, 1995, so that night we drank a bottle of champagne, watched Young Frankenstein, and handed out candy. Every year since then we've done the same thing to celebrate our anniversary of living together, though sometime a different movie. This year, we couldn't find our DVD, so decided to stream it and found what you did. Apparently Disney bought it and for some reason decided not to make it available. Very frustrating.

If you have your own domain name+control over the DNS entries, a cute trick you can use for Jellyfin is to set up a fully qualified DNS entry to point to your local (private) IP address.

So, you can have jellyfin.example.com point to 192.168.0.100 or similar. Inaccessible to the outside world (assuming you have your servers set up securely, no port forwarding), but local devices can access.

This is useful if you want to play on e.g. Chromecast/Google TV dongle but don't want your traffic going over the Internet.

It's a silly trick to work around the fact that these devices don't always query the local DNS server (e.g., your router), so you need something fully qualified


but a private IP on a public DNS record works just fine!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I don't think fully qualified means what you think it means...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I feel the need to point out that some dns servers block this. In piHole for example, you need to allow this. Some Routers do it too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

TIL, thanks. I use namecheap and haven't had any problems (mikrorik router).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Oh snap. Genius. Thanks for the idea. I do have a domain I registered and never used!

Don your pirate hat and sail the high seas, matey. Arrr.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm somehow just noticing the *arr stack is banned that because pirates say arr... Feeling a little silly

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

The solution is there... but it will take time for normie core to require this vital skill that was lost due to netflix.

Remember folks, media is 100% discretionary spend, if corpo does not give you the service you need, it is well within your ability to punish the parasite's profit ;)

Find a spare/cheap computer. Install home assistant/unraid/TrueNAS (bunch of platforms that run docker and have app installers but any of those three are pretty easy to get running). Pay for access to a Usenet backbone provider and one or two Usenet search providers. Black Friday will have some sales on yearly subscriptions. Install Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseer, and Bazaar (if you're huge into subtitles like me). Alternatively, also install and setup Prowlarr. Get your Usenet stuff working in Prowlarr. Point Radarr and Sonarr at Prowlarr. Point Jellyseer at Sonarr and Radarr. Share with friends. I will personally handhold anyone who wants to do this for themselves.

If you happen to go the Unraid route (Unraid is fantastic, but not free) Spaceinvader One on YouTube has great tutorials. That's where I got most of my info initially. It's definitely worth it and I think a good deal easier. I am not good with code and really like having a visual interface and it helps with that. I am not a master at any of this but I've learned a lot and I'm pretty comfortable now. To do a YouTube series myself, I feel like I'd need to know more. But there are definitely resources out there to get you going. If you follow some of this and run into problems, feel free to reach out to me. Or the selfhosted community here has been amazing. But you might start with one of the aforementioned frameworks. I think it's easier than going straight to docker. Docker isn't difficult, but managing IPs and networks and ports can cause some frustration and confusion.

This guy has a pretty good install on home assistant operating system (HAOS is important. Not just home assistant, but HAOS). When you have HAOS up and running, you can add the repository that Alex Belgium has created. He's done a great job at getting so many docker containers ready to go in home assistant. Huge, huge props to the guy. And once you have the repository, you can start to install the individual containers and it's not terrible. I think Spaceinvader One's videos can get you through much of it. Just skip the installation part and go to setup.

It's a lot and I can't go step by step but I will answer and help in someone's journey as best as I'm able to.

Couple things I've tried to watch recently that I couldn't find anywhere. I was even willing to buy it (streaming, maybe they're available on physical media).

Basketball Diaries

Less Than Zero

Very annoying.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I've never heard of Very Annoying. Is it good?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

It's three hours of someone almost, but not quite, removing a splinter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

yeah it's a AAA stunner of a movie. Great christmas flick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Try to find the movie Parents. It's almost impossible. Eating Raoul too.

"I'm afraid Young Frankenstein has grown up. All that's available is Old Frankenstein."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

You jest, but reading the user reviews on RT, I can tell a lot of the jokes in this film are lost on the gen-z crowd. Shame, really. But I guess it's inevitable.

Oh no, I also did that thing you did and randomly generated a streaming link

Funny how some poster got downvoted for this, yet you got upvoted for it in the same thread. People are fickle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Downvoted you just so you can watch my comment on your comment about people being fickle get all the upvotes. Get rekt nerd lul.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 minutes ago

Well I'll be damned if that's not worthy of an upvote good sir!

There don't seem to be any active datahoarder communities on lemmy, but looks like we could use some.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

That's simply unacceptable. I have a copy, but that's still unacceptable that you can't stream a film that amazing anywhere legally.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 31 minutes ago

I’ve been snapping up DVDs of every film I care about over the last five years. Especially the holiday films since you know they’re going to hold those hostage.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 hours ago (9 children)

My point yes, thanks. Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?

My kids will probably never buy a dvd player but you can bet I'm showing them how to find things like this regardless.

Doesn't anyone rip library DVDs any more?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't had in optical drive in my computer in probably almost 10 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

But you could, with trivial expense. Never mind, you don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Yes. My library has some DVDs but not this movie.
