Spotify can be configured to auto download, but you need to open the app. To my knowledge it doesn’t auto delete after listening, but when it reaches the 4th latest release it is deleted. Personally i prefer that they’re not auto deleted after listening because i like to share some podcasts moments with my SO.

LTT did a recent video on android streaming stick options and they were really impressed with Onn. believe it or not.
In a way, they’re making a point. Just because they provide internet shouldn’t mean that they are the ones that should pay damages to record companies. But neither should torrent client developers. If you can’t catch the end user, then that’s your problem. If you’re that concerned, make your material more accessibile.
Maybe I’m wrong but for the sake of trying to get you started down the right path until someone smarter than me answers for sure. I think you would need to configure a split tunnel on your device. Even then I don’t think that would work either. I think that “casting” just tells the display the server address and it tracks down the stream info. Your casting device then just functions as a remote through the network.
So even if It could work, you’re home network address would be compromised by the network traffic being sent to your display without a VPN.
Like another person has said, your best bet is more likely torrenting to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin then casting from your media server.
I think I’ll probably end up using SSH after connecting to the network through wireguard.
Oh wow, I had no idea that even was an option. I’m pretty excited to sink my teeth into the arrs. It’s a little daunting having to set it up on a Linux server plus the networking, but still exciting.
This comment isn’t helpful to anyone in anyway, but it IS funny
Yes. USB gives me a theoretical max of 480 MB/.A comparison HDD gives me about 8 more TB, but then I have to worry about the drives failing and a power supply.
Less power draw, more stable, so much faster…yeah, the only real advantage to actual platters now is capacity, but at these capacities you’re likely dealing with very large files, so the convenience of an SSD is worth paying for imo
Not yet, but if I encounter anything I’ll try to come back and let you know. I’ve not used it extensively yet. I’ll admit I’m ignorant to different video transcoding formats too. I think I’ve used AV1, HEV, and x264 so far. If that makes sense? I may be able to answer you better if you walk me through what you mean, but I think it’s been pretty stable all around.
Look man…I finally got it fully configured around midnight last night and was excited to share lol.
Well, $180 at Best Buy for a 4TB Crucial SSD. My family is splitting the cost with me though, so really it’s like $30.
I know you’re just busting my balls, but some people will unironically bring that up as a point of contention. If I really wanted to, I could have just kept using the 64 GB flash drive I had laying around and just had a rotating library, but then it would limit how much time my family would have to watch shows before I had to roll them out for something else. And I didn’t like that personally.
Yeah, it was a fun hobby over the course of the last couple months and I learned a ton about linux, networking, server infrastructure (kinda), and troubleshooting!
I don’t like to be reliant on someone else’s software or hardware either, so that played a part as well. The library part is good as well because my family is much more likely to give a TV show or movie a try if they see that I added it and we can talk about it when I visit.
Thanks man! I think I’m going to let this setup sit for awhile before I do anything else to upgrade.
My hobbyist interests follow my fire making skills. I find a new and interesting hobby (kindling), then I do a little bit of research (stack twigs around the kindling), get started on this new hobby (use a match to light the kindling), discover just how deep the hobby can go(limbs and split logs), explore the advanced portions of this new hobby(toss the best looking wood onto my small fire in no semblance of order), be pleasantly surprised with my results(let the fire burn and go start a new one).
The next step is usually come back to a smoldering pit of ash and half-burned firewood, be annoyed, put the unburned wood in a pile, pour some diesel fuel over it, and flick a match onto it lol.
I appreciate the help, I’ll think on it a little more to decide if I should try to get a second SBC. Just from my little experience shopping for them, I can tell they’re tough to get for MSRP. So I don’t really want to deprive someone if I really don’t need it.
I was pretty down on swipe navigation, but now I’ve gotten used to it and like that I can navigate without having to reach to the bottom of my screen. I’m also very happy about Bluetooth LE but I don’t have an audio device that takes advantage of the codec yet. Anything that improves Bluetooth is great in my eyes.
As I understand it, Lemmy does not have that capability yet and is one of the distinguishing factors between Lemmy and Kbin which allows mastodon account following. You can see mastodon content, just can’t follow. (I believe)
.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.
