OPS, rutracker, or I ask someone to check RED for me.

Aside from what has been posted already, the vast majority of good P2P groups only release on private trackers, some with notices to not repost publicly. There is a massive collection of quality content that is either not available on publics or completely dead and forgotten.

A properly muxed mkv will display the resulting audio bitrate. And if you use opusenc, it will embed the encoder settings in the track.

There are a handful of groups putting out what I would consider decent AV1 encodes. A couple PTs allow them, and there are groups on 1337x. Just grab a couple from each tag you can find and see if they meet your needs. Generally speaking, look for groups which note their source, which encoder they are using, and ideally what settings they used in general.

AV1 has come a long way fast, but in my experience a good x265 encode is still better for live action.

Maybe https://www.srrdb.com/ is what you're looking for?

Private trackers would be your best bet if you don't know anyone already.

Something like radicle?

Have you tried ticking the lock metadata button when you are editing it?

Last I checked you need to purchase an addon to have port forwarding with Windscribe.

These are good options in my experience that are P2P friendly and support port forwarding.

• AirVPN: Relatively slow but stable, good company
• OVPN: Some stability/app problems but fast
• AzireVPN: Lacking features but overall good and fast

Air is the cheapest out of the bunch, they might still have a sale going on now.

That's a good point, but I don't figure this theoretical application would be big enough for any manufacturer to care about. I just wanted something for the people :⁠-⁠)

I think an open-source general device benchmark would be cool. Including CPU / GPU / Battery life metrics. As far as I know, everything that does this is proprietary.

You can install the AniList and AniDB plugins and enable them on your library. From there, when you go to manually identify the series you can use one of the respective IDs to fetch metadata.
