Recently setup the *Arr stack&transmission+ JellyFin and loving it… (linux user, with always on server at home, behind a 5G unlimited connection)
I am a torrent person, dont understand usenet at the moment.
A few questions to fellow sailors:
-
how do you safely and easily import your existing libraries? (Movies tv.shows books…)
-
how do you manage multiple languages.in movies? Like having the movie in french and english both
-
where and how to search for audiobooks? Really cant find many…
Any tips for daily usage?
Why are you calling it a “stack”? Those apps are independent and aren’t even aware of each other.
Most of the Arr apps are made by the same people and based on the same NzbDrone codebase. It’s not a coincidence that they are veeerrrry similar.
And combining them with an indexer, downloader and media server with tight integrations between them is a very common setup, ergo a stack.
I can only really speak to your first point. When imported my existing library, I did it using Sonarr/Radarr as applicable. They have a manual import method, here’s a description of Sonarr’s.
Unfortunately that’ll probably work best if they’re formatted in a way Sonarr can readily recognize, something like /Season ##/S##E## - .ext. It may take a little work to get there, I found a program called mmv which helps out a lot. It allows you to move files that match a pattern, capture parts of pattern, and use that captured part to name the output file. That allowed me for format entire seasons at a time, but that method does rely on most files having similar names to begin with.
How did you setup file permissions for sonarr? I had trouble with it for the past few days
I’m stuck at the second point too. I have a lot of Bollywood/hindi stuff that I want to download but a lot of releases are multi languages so they aren’t flagged as Hindi.
I wish the arrs implemented languages as tags and multi-language releases would instead have all languages listed out, so that this problem gets solved easily.
I’m in the same position as you, Linux server(s) on 24/7, and my torrent box just went bang, so could you point me to what and how you’ve setup your stack?
Have a Proxmox server and was thinking of creating a LXC, installing docker and having separate compose files for a arr stack rather than rebuilding the dedicated torrent box. Not a docker expert by any means
Problem I’ve got is that I’ve read so much about various ways of doing it, I’ve now stuck on which way would be best.
Trash guides. It has a a bunch of info on installation, setup and post install. Its a great source of info and step by step guide if you want to use that way. I mean it is a guide after all but very detailed.
