Hey all,
This post is somewhat for my own edification, but I thought it might be helpful to others who have Plex Media Server running on Windows.
File Management
I’ve been reading a lot of articles lately about Jellyfin and Emby as an alternative to plex as the future for this type of platform.
I disagree and still think plex wins overall on ease of use, cross platform, existing community, and a few other things.
The only reason I would switch is because it seems like the Plex Product team are brain dead. The amount of community supported hacks being used, you think would should them back to life or just simply submitting a JIRA ticket internally. Just to make examples of how Plex has let the community do what they could of easily have done 2-3 years ago:
I understand Plex needs to generate a profit and needs to become a sustainable company. From my understanding they get their money from plex pass and/or their promoted …
This past week I’ve been messing more with Plex.
I’ve been:
Filling in gaps I had in movie series
Messing around with Plex Meta Manager
Finding matching posters for all my collections
Making a “movie poster picture frame” from an old tablet to rotate through all the movie posters I have on Plex.
What I haven’t been doing:
Watching any damn movies!
I swear, it’s more fun to manage my movies than it is to watch them. At least my girlfriend actually uses Plex for it’s intended purpose.

I am going to post all the known Black Friday deals here. Looks like Usenet.Farm wins the prize this year for earliest live deal. Please message me with anything I miss and any corrections. I am sure I will miss some of the details in regards to backbone, retention, etc. I will need some help on indexers.
If there are any providers or indexers who want to message me directly to let me know about a deal, please do so.
Indexers
NZBPlanet
Providers
List of Provider Deals I am posting these in order they are presented. New deals go at the bottom
Key: Provider - Backbone - Takedown - Retention - Server Locations
Usenet.Farm - Independent - NTD - 3000 Days - NL
I am guessing the farm is starting their Black Friday Sale early this year.
It seems the fan favourites are the Frugal/Combo plan or the EWEKA plan.
Frugal combo costs currently 4,99 €/$ Eweka 3 €/$
My question is now if these are the best deals until now or would it make sense to wait the next weeks until the BF / CM deals come in?
What were the best prices in the past for the frugal combo or Eweka?
Thanks all for your feedback
Hi all,
I am trying to find a way to access Sonarr/Radarr/SAB/Tatulli outside of my home network from my Synology NAS. I have heard that setting up a vpn is the way to do it but I don’t know how to do that. Does anyone have a good and understandable guide on how to accomplish this? Right now, I can only access these from my home network which is inconvenient at times to say the least.
So I got this set up but loads of failures could prob due to takedowns. For a while i thought it might be due to propogation but now i don’t think so.
What would be a good block or other account to partner with these ?
I have access to most streaming services through the kindness of family. However, I have Radarr because I know there will be times when what I want isnt on one of them. That being said, how can I find a list for Radarr to use for auto-import that only finds me top 250 movies not on any streaming services? I think this can be done with Trakt but ideally, I’d like a free version of something. Ideally also, customization around which services I have access to but if its a blanket “all streaming services” thats fine too. Thanks for any insights!
Recently my Ducktales(1987) episodes were replaced with the newer series from 2017. I don’t know how or why it happened and would like to prevent it in the future.
I have not posted here before but have taken a lot of information away over the past year. My system is at a point where everything works great and I wanted to share my layout in the hopes that it may help someone else who is just starting. Open to feedback and will answer any questions i can.

Hi everyone,
I’m using Prowlarr as my indexer manager , and Nyaa as my indexer specifically for anime content.
To expend on my title, I am currently trying to set up Radarr to fetch my anime movies. However, my results were quite underwhelming and not sure if I can do anything about it :
Here is my issue , as an example I am trying to get my hands on Sword Art Online the Movie: Progressive - Aria of a Starless Night
If I manually search in Prowlarr for the title, I get 10 results, however when searching trough Radarr, I get only one
I’ve looked at the logs, and I can see that the main difference is that radarr add the year in the search itself
Searching indexer(s): [Nyaa.si] for Term: [Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night 2021], Offset: 0, Limit: 100, Categories: [2000, 2020]
Which turn out, if I do a manual search in Prowlarr with the year, I also get one result. It quite unfortunate, as from my own experience, a lot of anime movies …
I ran into a strange issue with my database. I thought everything was fine, but when I went to add a new show from the web UI, it wouldn’t actually add it. I check the logs, and I am getting:
