Man I really need to get into sonarr and radarr
It's so worth it. I spent many years pirating stuff manually by downloading the torrent file, adding it to my torrent program, unzipping it, and using a file browser to select game.of.thrones.s01e01.1080p.proper.webrip.whatever.fuckme.mkv. One day I was like fuck it, we'll do it live and I dove into the whole plex/sonarr/radarr/jackett thing and it streamlined the piracy problem to the point that I very rarely even have to do anything beyond opening up a web browser and typing the name of whatever I'd like to have added to plex and the rest just happens automatically.
It grabs only the torrents in the language you specify with exactly the bitrate and resolution you specify, it unzips stuff and puts it in a correctly named directory with organized filenames and grabs the movie posters and thumbnails. I almost never even have to log into my torrent site. I usually only go there so my account doesn't get disabled for not logging in frequently enough.
As a bonus sonarr and Radarr have a calendar page so you can see when the stuff you want is expected to air in the future.
Dude that's a killer feature. Right now I just use the qbittorrent built in search function, which works fine to be honest. But having it automated (with automated renaming of files?) Would be so much better, although I might need more storage then
I just started recently. Piece of piss to set up and yes more storage is needed in the near future because i started to grab music as well (although recent events have slowed this). 8tb only goes so far...
Oof, I have 2tb of storage in my pc right now lol. I'll keep ripping my music manually as I'm quite particular with the music I download anyways
I kinda went crazy and thought I'd grab every artist I liked and the whole discography (even if I only liked one track) in FLAC. Big stress test on the old rpi2 with 100s of concurrent downloads.
Hahaha, I just rip my music from deezer in flac, I just make a playlist in deezer and every ones in a while I sync that locally. Would be cool to be able to do that without deezer, but I doubt I can get it to work like a streaming service
