jellyfin with sonarr and radarr and now jellyseerr make the whole process simple. usenet and nzb are the way now i just wait 10 min to get the film/series i want and then watch it. a minor delay I'm more than happy with. I'd be happy to pay if, and it's a big if, the studios can catalogue all their shows in one place. i can watch without adverts. i can pay per episode if i want. I'd rather pay 50c an episode than pay for the whole service. let me curate what I want to watch on my terms. until then, the high seas win every time

Yo-ho-ho. The wife and kids love the pirate life as well. They just search what they want on Radarr or Sonarr and it pops up on Jellyfin in a few minutes. We were spending around $200/no on services with a lot less choice and lower quality.

Any good guides out there please on getting started with these..?

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I did it with a raspberry pi 4 and direct installs. If I had it to do over again, I would have a more powerful small server and use docker inages. There are a lot of docker guides out there but I don't have experience with it yet.

I had to do a bunch of complicated stuff like mounting my remote storage and such. I've been playing with Linux a long time. If you're not experienced with Linux, I'd do docker.

You start getting setup with Usenet, gimme a holler and I'll send you a drunken slug invite. It's the best indexer I've found, and I think I've let all my other indexers lapse.

Do a bunch of reading before you start, before you purchase anything.
