Do people not prefer Plex anymore?
Jellyfin is the new plex
Combine it with sonarr, radar, jackett and qBitTorrent and it's incredibly easy to get a new show or movie
I feel like a wizard being able to add a movie to jellyfin for my mom in minutes
Also love that new episodes auto download!
The one thing I hate about sonarr is how difficult it is to get series that are already finished.
Omni with Radarr is braindead easy, but sonarr requires I go ask it to download each season, and sometimes it'll just download individual episodes, and then many of those are dead torrents because most people are seeding the whole season
Jellyseerr seems to take care of that issue for me
It actually grabs old seasons and finished shows?
I think I looked into it once but it wasn't a clear instal for windows or something? I havnt moved to Linux yet
Yes, it's pretty amazing. Bought a NUC like 2 weeks ago after getting my first Prime videos ad, already downloaded about 1.5TB of stuff, both just released and from a few decades ago.
Just switch series monitoring to "All Episodes" and then do "Search Monitored", or use Jellyseerr.
Both handle old seasons perfectly, I've not had any individual episode downloads.
Noted, thank you!
Aren't these *arr software using public trackers? If that is the case I recommend private trackers. A lot more reliable with a better database. Also some allow you to create re-seed requests for dead torrents.
They use whatever trackers you set them to.
In truth you set the trackers in prowlarr (if you're still using jackett, it's time to switch)
You have to give them trackers and set their parameters
But they still don't automatically grab finished shows or released episodes, it's just for keeping a series up to date episode by episode. You have to manually find the show in sonarr and tell ot to grab each season
The one thing I hate about Sonar (v4) is how absurd the language filters have become
I've tried downloading shows in non-English and it won't. It seems hard coded to not look in Usenet foreign. Have you had any luck? Does it work for torrents?
Honestly I started reading the docs and noped the fuck right out... I have to figure it out sooner or later.
Look into prowlarr instead of jackett.
I really want(ed) to look into the *darr projects, but I don't want to give them write permissions to my NAS :/
They should only be able to read/write to your download and media directories anyway.
Yeah, I suppose I could have a specific directory for them to download to, then I move them to the directory which they play from, which is more restricted.
I thought one of the main benefits of those projects was that they can automatically download and replace versions with higher quality ones (if you have it configured that way). In that case, would I be able to have it look at my (restricted) directory which it doesn't have write perms for, but download to a different directory?
I don't think so, in my understanding it will try to overwrite the existing file. But I'm far from an expert, check the wiki they're bound to have a solution for you.
Thank you, I'll definitely check it out.
