Jellyfin is the new plex

[–] 4lan@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

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!

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] SomeKindaName@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jellyseerr seems to take care of that issue for me

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] muix@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

Noted, thank you!

[–] fatalError@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 3 points 9 months ago

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)

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] lambchop@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Honestly I started reading the docs and noped the fuck right out... I have to figure it out sooner or later.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

Look into prowlarr instead of jackett.

[–] root@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I really want(ed) to look into the *darr projects, but I don't want to give them write permissions to my NAS :/

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They should only be able to read/write to your download and media directories anyway.

[–] root@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] root@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Thank you, I'll definitely check it out.

[–] Pacmanlives@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I disagree unless there is a way for me to share my library with other people with out putting my Jellyfin server in a DMZ or exposing it ports to the internet. There is some security things I am worried about and feel like Plex is better. And I run both

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

That's fair, yeah

[–] lambchop@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

There are ways, mainly cloudflare tunnels with cloudflared.

[–] fruitSnackSupreme@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Agreed. I'm sticking with Plex for now.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Until it can act as a server on my Nvidia Shield TV Pro, have hardware acceleration through Docker in my Synology NAS (and Shield TV Pro) and be widely available for the people I share it with (like shitty TVs) it is not.

I think it only can do the hw acceleration part on Docker, but the last time I checked it didn't work for me.
