SO, I’m sure everyone cares but I tried JellyFin and here are my initial thoughts (I have Pros and Cons listed so I used a symbol before the number to denote which is which with “/” just being an observation, not necessarily pro/con):
*/* 1) Has the same performance issues with PGS subs that Plex has so if you have issues now, that won’t change (I was really hoping there would be a performance increase since Plex struggles so much) Turns out my phone won’t play anything well and if I’m watching a movie on my PC through the webapp in H.264 with PGS subs it plays just fine. All HVEC needs to transcode but that may be due to the hardware I’m running JF on (a little Dell Thin Client)
+ 2) The Downloading on mobile devices is phenomenal!! The fact that I can actually download a copy of the actual file at any time is amazing and I will continue to use it for downloading if nothing else
/ 3) The Editions feature of Plex doesn’t carry over so …
My TV and movie libraries are too big. I feel like there is so much garbage in there. I curated at the beginning but the fun of collecting, completing collections etc got a hold of me.
I now have 10tb of (almost 4000) movies and 20tb of TV shows and I don’t want so much, even if these are low numbers compared to a lot you.
I’m just wondering has anyone else hit a point where you decided to scale down, trim the fat and focus only on certain content? How did you decide what to get rid of and what approach to get rid of it?
OK, I’ll ask since I’ve searched, but no cigar.
OZNZB is notorious for being down for stints; this time 16days - does anyone have any info as to whether or not this time it’s terminal, or if it’s likely to be back at some stage?
Seems a shame that one of the OG’s would go off grid like that 😶

I finally got gigabit fiber internet, and wanted to try maxing out my connection with Usenet. When I do a speed test I get around 950mbit down so that looks good. But when I download an nzb, it seems to max out around 25MB/sec. I’m using Newshosting for my provider, and SABnzbd with 30 connections. I’ve also tried their dedicated client and still getting similar speeds.
I am downloading to a regular HDD and not a SSD. When I looked on the status page of SABnzbd I got these speeds readouts:
Download Folder - 93.9 MB/s
Complete Folder - 113.4 MB/S
Internet Bandwith 25.7 MB/S
When I do the 1GB test packet it starts at 51MB/s but then slowly drops back down to standard 25 MB/s
I’ve tried using fewer connections, but the speed just gets worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could do to improve the speeds?

A few years ago I found an app (docker container) which would track indexer requests to show which were returning successful hits and which failed. The aim was to weed out the not to useful ones.
I’ve multiple indexers and I’m not sure. I need them all. Can anyone remember its name?
I forgot I even had an Astraweb account but I just got a notification email to renew it. I already use Frugal too, but is it unecessary to have both? Like are they on the same backbone?
There appears to currently be an issue where some users are receiving incomplete information from Sonarr’s backend server (skyhook) resulting in shows not displaying all the seasons or episodes.
Dev team is aware of this and looking into it. There is no need to create additional posts about this, comments can be made here instead.
EDIT 30 Dec: This issue may continue for a few more days at least.
In the Ubiquiti Network 7.3.76 update they added a feature called “Ad Blocking” which blocks malicious web sites without any other description or control. You check a box then select the networks you have set up to effect. There’s no other controls over it, on or off. With it on, apparently api.radarr.video is in the list of “malicious” websites and gets blocked. I went through a rather frustrating experience chasing this down as I had just turned it on thinking, oh cool this will be nice and then forgot about it for a few days. After noticing I could no longer update or add movies to Radarr, and totally forgetting I turned that feature on, down a rabbit hole I went.
​
Anyway, hopefully this saves some people some frustration if you are behind a Dream Machine SE (Probnably the normal Dream Machine as well) and happen to turn “Add Blocking” on this will kill your ability to add movies to Radarr. Hopefully Ubiquiti will …
Just trying to organize my stuff! I’d like to separate tv shows and anime in my plex library (unraid). Thanks!
Hi!
Is there a way to limit the number of upgrades it will attempt per a given time span?
Just enabling upgrades would completely choke my server if left on its own.
