Should be able to do that with Jellyfin, no Plex/Plex Pass needed (if you really want to use media software for this).

That said I suspect your current method with creating a torrent to share is much more resilient when dealing with choppy internet connections. With Jellyfin/Plex it’s more of a direct download situation, not sure if either can resume broken downloads.

Syncthing is not just for LAN use. Even their homepage mentions transmitting data over the internet

https://syncthing.net/

I’ve been using it to sync devices over the internet for years. It’s also how people use it to sync from say their desktop to their phones, remote server, etc.

If you watch your network firewall Syncthing does reach out to servers on the internet to help it find other devices so e.g. if you enter the other device’s ID (example ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG) it can reach out over the internet to find that specific ID to pair with. I think Syncthing uses a sort of DHT resolver to find other devices, I know on my firewall I had to whitelist Syncthing’s servers to make it work.

I was going to try to link you some references but their forums seem to have connection issues at the moment, you may want to search around later if you’re interested how Syncthing works over the internet.

While I personally prefer not to use YTS releases due to their low quality, and can’t seem to find a legitimate YTS link

Anything YIFY/YTS related that exists today is clone, YIFY himself got into legal trouble and left all this stuff behind years ago. Nowadays the main active YTS site that most people use is run by the same group that stole the EZTV site.

Okay you got me thinking about this a bit, my own hardware is not DV capable so typically I just avoid media that is DV only. But for experimentation I tested a few media players on Windows

• Jellyfin
• Kodi
• MPC-BE
• MPC-HE
• MPV
• Potplayer
• VLC

Interestingly with default settings none of them will playback DV with tonemapping (no HDR, just DV only aka DV Profile 5).

I did figure out additional settings for one of the media players, MPV will do DV tonemapping if you add “–vo=gpu-next” to the command line on startup e.g.

mpv --vo=gpu-next yourmediafile.mkv

No idea on any of the other media players, there weren’t any obvious settings to enable for DV tonemapping.

Reference re: mpv https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9506

What software are you using? Most modern software can already do HDR tonemapping so it would look normal during playback.

I think the issue for you is that you are downloading files that are DV only, no HDR fallback, and AFAIK media with DV only cannot be played back with tonemapping (hence why you are seeing it all pink/puple/green). To properly play DV media you’d need DV compatible hardware - I don’t have that type of hardware so someone else may be better able to explain those constraints. My desktop is a bit on the old side LOL.

But anyway in the future you should download media with the HDR tag or media without any DV/HDR tags.

PS - If you run your media through something like mediainfo and give us the output that should give a more accurate idea of your issue but I’m pretty sure you just happened to have downloaded a DV only file.

EDIT - On second thought some playback software seems to support DV tonemapping nowadays. It’s been a while since I tried testing that myself, seems easier just to avoid DV only media. Maybe double-check that the playback software you are using supports DV tonemapping and figure out how to enable it.
