Bags Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 For those who use transmission or or torrent app how are you setting up your share? Are you using a separate folder for the torrents and then another one for movies or one file for both and allowing your library software pic the movie out of the torrent file. If everything is in the movie file, are there any issues if you are watching a blue ray stream and seeding at the same time? Thank you Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I use a separate folder on my cache disk for all my downloads (torrents and usenet) then I move the completed items to the array after they're validated. Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I do the same thing as BRIT mentioned above. I use to download to a disk in the array, but moving it to the cache drive was a much better idea. Link to comment
Bags Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 so you do not use transmission on the unraid. Once dl to the cache you leave the files as they are dl or you strip the movie file out? Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I run transmission on the unRAID server, but I do not have it save directly to the array. I use a directory that will not be moved by the mover script (/mnt/cache/.downloads/). I do some manual post-processing of the items, such as removing extraneous files if need be or converting container types. Link to comment
Bags Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 ah thats what I was wondering. Thanks. Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I do the same thing as BRIT save for I have modified my mover script slightly so that folders (and everything in them) with a leading underscore ("_") are ignored also. I am on a Mac 99% of the time so I can't see folders with a "." in front of them. Link to comment
Bags Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 So with transmission running on unraid you don't have to worry about your ratio of dl/ul. Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So with transmission running on unraid you don't have to worry about your ratio of dl/ul. Not necessarily, I still try to seed everything at least to a ratio of 2 Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So with transmission running on unraid you don't have to worry about your ratio of dl/ul. The Peer-to-Peer communities still tend to require appropriate ul/dl ratios. Even with Transmission on unRAID you still need to meet those obligations. With usenet (Sabnzbd) you have no need to upload at all. Link to comment
Bags Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 When u created your movies share did you create a seperate folder for each movie or just one big folder and drop just the movie in the movie share?ie Movies/speed.mp4 or Movies/Speed/speed.mp4? Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 My movies share existed before I switched over to XBMC as a front-end, so it's a bit more subdivided than it needs to be, but better to be more organized than less. It's still helpful to me when looking to see which movies I need to rerip or replace with better quality BluRay versions. I subdivide into quality and then again by movie title. Directories used for example: Movies/ Movies/480p/ Movies/720p/ Movies/1080p/ Movies/480p/Monsters vs Aliens (2009)/ Movies/720p/2012 (2009)/ Movies/1080p/The Usual Suspects (1994)/ Movies/1080p/Iron Man (2008)/ Movies/1080p/Iron Man 2 (2010)/ Link to comment
Bags Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Does xmbc show your files as 1 library or one for each 480p/720p/1080p? Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 It shows it as 1 single library "Movies" for my Movies share. It also shows it as 1 single library "TV" for my TV series share. XBMC rocks. Link to comment
