I am just going out on a limb here:
A week ago I downloaded e1 and e2 via my private tracker of murderbot. My setup is that my jellyfin library directly points to the downloads folder for TV shows. This has always worked in the past, but now last week for murderbot e1 and e2 and now again this friday for e3, jellyfin only recognizes the file but cannot pull any metadata and is somehow unable to stream it to any of my clients.
I haven’t tried any usual troubleshooting steps yet since I was really busy this past week, but was wondering if this is some Apple mechanism to hinder piracy.
Thoughts?
Careful, I’ve seen an uptick in malicious files being uploaded for popular tv shows. Including murderbot. You likely downloaded one of those. There shouldn’t be any DRM in pirated media. I’ve noticed it mostly in episodes before they are released. So the day after murderbot episode 2 came out my sonarr started trying to download episode 3. They were all malicious files, on all my trackers except for my private one. Carefully look at the file, if it isn’t legit, since you got it from a private tracker, flag it and boot the user uploading crap.
If not, could be a transcoding issue. Try watching it directly with VLC.
That’s part of why I only download released episodes and movies. Cam rips suck ass, and there’s too much risk of downloading garbage that isn’t the real file.
