I tried to do a screen recording from my iPhone to record from netflix and it seemed to work.

I was using my apple earbuds at the time, so I had to remember to stay quiet.

That method records as an mp4 file, but it's easy enough to get that onto a windows pc, you can use windows explorer for that.

Infact, that's the only thing windows explorer can do with an iPhone.

I have a program that can extract the audio from video files, so converting to mp3 isn't a problem.

On the windows side there's a program called free screen recorder, from the same people that made free youtube downloader, and a whole bunch of other programs, just remember to use uncheckie when you install their programs because they try to install their crapware onto your system.

Someone also told me about an email list which uploads tv shows as they acquire them, instead of waiting for the season to end like blind mice and sero tend to do, but the last I spoke to my friend, he wasn't yet approved, and he signed up about two weeks before that.

I don't know of the address, I could probably ask him, might take a while to get a response since it's so close to christmas and all.

If I had the room, I'd gladly download that BTSync folder and sort through it.

It would be the same for the pc, minus the staying quiet part, and I'd assume your screen reader would come through as well.

You would need another sound card or as you said virtual audio cabel, which isn't free.

I have no problem staying quite for a tv show because I would record at night, after everyone in my house is asleep, plus, you don't have to record everything in a few hours.

Anyway, I'll leave that up to the people who know what they're doing.

Oh and I wouldn't stick to just tv shows, if blind mice can decide to remove tv shows, they might just decide to do the same for their movies.

And let's face it, how many people actually buy stuff from them, I last heard they don't ship outside the US, but I could be wrong.

@130,  I agree with you about the limitations applying  to recording from PC as  well.
I don't believe either that blind mice ships internationally.  After hearing about blind mice no longer offering TV shows, I started to download all the movies that I am interested in.  So, in the future I don't lose the content. However,  A good thing about the movies is that ray star appears to have most of them on his server.  And for the ones that  aren't available we have to use sendspace to obtain it.
As for getting new movie releases, I think people buy the DVD or Blu-ray and rip the audio track.
I have never done any of these methods, it's just what I've heard.   So, I might be wrong.

hi
I think for tvs that offer audio description we can use tv's aux output and record either on a laptop or a portable recorder that supports aux input. If anyone has a smart tv, they can record from netflix via this method as well. If the tv device supports recording, it's even better as an other device is no longer required; but I'm not sure if it's ok to record stuff from a cable tv.

Hi,
I know ld, but thought I'd update people as to what was up and to not leave them wondering as to any progress if at all.
and also wanted to get it out there for anyone who would be willing to do the same for us that is provide us with new movies and tv shows.

miki123211, I like what you have done with the links, and I have a few more ideas perhaps you could help with implementing, for both please get in touch via Email.
Thanks!

hi
@137
I'm currently trying to sync the btsync folder previously mentioned in this topic, but the problem is that it's going really slow despite of my fast connection. If that continues to go south, I'll talk about your data to you in private. I'm gonna put what ever I can up in onedrive and share it with everyone.

Well I figure if I put all of my describe content into a btsync folder and let someone grab everything, we can put it on a central server for everyone else to have as well. I keep updating it as time goes on. But now, at least from the blind mice side, the updates will only contain movies of course.

hi i was wandering if some one could give me agents of shield as i was unable to get it before removal.

Hi, can you give an example of how you're naming the files?

If it's like some of the ones I have then I can just make a text file of my folder of described content.
If you have what I have, then all you'd need to do is replace the name.

I'll give two examples below of how I prefer to name my files, one is for a tv show, the other for movies.

Almost human - S01E01 - Pilot.

Maleficent (2014).

As you can see, movies have the year of release.

I'm thinkin of putting a number in front of the ones that have a sequel, that way it'll be easier to know the order in which to watch them.

Now, how to go about that for the x-men films? because that timeline is seriously messed up.

I only have 30 gig of described content so it was pretty easy to rename everything to the way I like, except for my tv shows, for that, I just got lazy and left it the way blind mice had them.

Oh and if we're going to start on the movies, you might have to change the title of this thread.

Hi.
I still have some tv shows misssing from the list, namely black mirror, CSI, CSI Cyber, NCIS season 1, game of thrones, and chicago fire, just need to find a way to get them to you.

Greetings Moritz.

Hi,
Simba, just send me a forum mail, with either sendspace or any  other filehost links.
with names of each tv show the link is for. thanks

@kool_turk I intend to keep files as is that is have them in the zip format for the tv show and just rename them as per their name and season. I.E game of thrones season 1.zip
this should be far less or should I say not at all a problem for the movies as they have straightforward names and the files aren't all named as season 1.zip's.
so they should be good to go as soon as they are downloaded and added to the database, no fiddling necessary.
@miki123211, I have sent you a few emails, please have a look and reply when you are able.

and yes, I will probably create a new topic entirely when I have things close to a public release, that is when the server and html side are good to go for the rest of you or just edit the first post of this topic.
