I think @Ryan was telling me about Stremio. Is that the one where you stream and torrents are in the background. What I need is to setup properly the arr suite. Didn’t work well before. It would erase all my metadata. I probably set it up wrong
That’s what I need to setup. Last time I did it didn’t work properly at all. It would erase my metadata
Yeah stremio is great. I used to have a setup like jellyfin, SickBeard I think it was called. The same concept anyways. Stremio made it unnecessary for me. No offline capability, but I almost never lack Internet access.
Ya, thats how it works. I installed stremio on my computer, hooked that up to my tv. And then i installed the real-debrid.com extension in stremio which is a popular torrent scraping service i saw someone mention on reddit. I pay for real-debrid and basically get any show i want for like $4 a month. Everything haopens in background, wife can use it without issue. Been using it for a couple months now and only one instance where real-debrid was down for a few hours.
Not really. Make sure you have a downloader setup and a few metadata sources set and Youll have to do a mess of manual importing. But its pretty Straight forward.
Mabey. I have ~20 tb of video and When i did My initial import It was more like double checking to make sure they didn't assume things were something that they weren't.
Sornarr and radarr (tv and movies) will autosort things for you. Youll need Torrent or NZB client for downlaods but the arr apps look in your DL folder and do the sorting when things are done.

Old school eh? I haven't used those in a long time. qBittorrent has search built into it, but search is better with the 'arrs. Jellyseerr and the 'arrs make searching torrents as easy as browsing movies in a streaming service. Search and browse movies in Jellyseeer. Read about them, watch the trailer. Then click "Request" when you find a movie you want to watch. The 'arrs then automatically find the torrent, and download it using qBittorent, or one of those other programs you mentioned.
No. Set up Sonarr and Radarr to do it with future downloads. If a movie gets identified wrong, it's best you manually rename it with the tmdb ID number so you don't have to ever deal with it again.
It's pretty slick, so I have some things set up that are publicly accessible. Jellyfin kind of acts as the base. Then I have something called Jelly Seer, which allows people to request stuff. That plugs into both Sonarr and Radarr, so once a request is approved, Sonarr and Radarr go out and automatically grab things set up with the quality profiles I have set up. All I have to do is approve the request and then the show shows up in however long it takes to download it. I can also do media management outside of the house, which is pretty nice. Like, I can be like, oh, I want to watch this series or show or something or add it to the server while somebody's telling me about it, so I don't have to remember it later. πŸ˜…
Yeah. SB/CP was the same. Web Interface to pick which shows and movies I wanted. It used a torrent program to download, then renamed and added metadata so Kodi would integrate it nicely for tv viewing. I had network drives & VPN set up so I could take my laptop to people houses for movie night. Trakt.tv integration so it just watched my lists and automatically grabbed stuff too. Really cool stuff.
Okay, yeah, proper. I've never played with that ecosystem, so I didn't know it did all that.
I was just playing with my setup and learned that Usenet gets slow AF if you download to an NFS share. Back to downloading to local NVMe then copy the finished off to the server. Also at 90% full thrashing becomes a real problem. More drives on the way. I need to add jellyseer too.
Get radarr and sonarr done first. Prowlarr Isn't strictly necessary but do it next if your gonna use it, it gives you a central management point for all of your sources. (Like which usenet or torrent sites are you using to search and pull from) Then slap jellyseer on it as it will ask for sonarr and radarr APIs.
