@frostycab Bad man say bad things. Good man ban bad man. More man meddle. Baffled man still baffled? [The caveman-like phrasing is so that if he ever returns, there's a chance he, too, might understand it.]

@taboi two things: this site is waaaay bigger than GTO, and also waaay more understaffed. There's no way that anything can be resolved here by simply making rules more strict, the only immediate result would be an even bigger flood of non-compliant uploads. The new QTM is long due, if done properly it can help fix most of the existing problems. It would be possible to automatically generate previews and build a hashfile database that can be used to cross-reference duplicates. This way it would be possible to prevent duplicates from being uploaded in the first place, reducing the reports and freeing staff to focus on other stuff. A NLP could also be deployed to flag missing/incomplete torrent descriptions, and allow for users to fill in the details, instead of having to rely strictly on mods that will only act if something is reported.

@ch3v4li3r said: @ianfontinell Thank you for this. Those re-encodes are really annoying, and they're bad for retention since seeders end up being spread across multiple files. I also don't understand the point of re-encoding from one lossy source to another lossy format. I am re-encoding my collection as I speak so I know very well why people do it, and I know that it can be very annoying when those re-encodes are spammed all over the site non-stop, but AV1 is very CPU-intensive task that most people cannot choose to do if they ever want to. At the very least, the person doing it is being quite mindful with their process, using software encoding and using automated bitrate testings to ensure quality loss is not terrible. But I'll admit, if it wasn't for this script I would lose my shit

@mftan2191 vtx files are created by VTM, the application used to create the thumbnails, it's just a cache file that stores metadata about each processed video. Although the vtx files are essential to generate the thumbnails using VTM, it's possible to configure the application to discard them after the images are generated. As for torrents containing those files, you can either delete after download (their size is negligible) or mark them to not be downloaded in the first place. Even though qbittorrent doesn't allow to sort by extension, it has a name filter feature. In the "add new torrent" window you can press CTRL+F and type .vtx and then uncheck those files.
