bigfoot

Not really what I was looking for but thanks for the suggestion.

On every site I've checked it uses a random css tag so can't block more than one.

I've actually checked that out and it's well made but way more than just a subscription tool, it's more for downloading/preserving entire channels.

I've seen that but either I'm an idiot or that is a CLI tool. What makes Sonarr nice is that it's config is all done through a web browser meaning you don't need to edit config files anytime you want to change something.

Thank you for sharing though I may try and get it set up one day

I wish there was a YouTube equivalent of Sonarr that just uses yt-dl to auto-grab and organize YT channels you want as new episodes come out. Then you could just play with Plex or Jellyfin.

I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to "backup" the things you especially like in high quality.

Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.

Overseerr is basically a polished front end for Radarr/Sonarr. It's useful if non-techies are requesting things, and/or you just want a single, dead-simple place to request (video) media. If you want to just try it out it doesn't affect your radarr/sonarr setup at all.

@ShepherdPie@midwest.social gave a good explanation of Prowlarr. Just another simplification/automation tool.

The simple answer:

Get Qbittorrent and use it's built-in search engine.

The fully automated gay space answer:

• Look into selfhosting - (optional but makes it easier/coler)
• Look into Plex (or Emby or Jellyfin) - optional but makes it pretty

These are the apps you'll need:

• Radarr - Gets movies
• Sonarr - Gets tv shows automatically as they come out
• Prowlarr - the thing that does the searching for radarr/sonarr.
• Overseerr - Makes it simple to request stuff
• Qbittorrent - downloads things

(There is also Lidarr for music and Readarr for books)

If all set up correctly, you simply just request something with Overseerr and it shows up in Plex minutes later with artwork and metadata all pulled in and presented nicely. You can configure the apps to look for specific resolutions/file sizes/formats/etc. TV shows are downloaded as soon as a new episode is released. It's better than any streaming service by leaps and bounds.

The fact that they are only here was the final straw for me to make the switch to Lemmy.

seasons4u is amazing

Physical buttons please and thank you

I'm getting hung up because nobody clarified that until now thank you.
