So I finally got annoyed, like many of you, seeing all of my friends refusing to do anything about the 720p/4mbps default setting on all of their clients and watching my GPUs churning away for no good reason. Decided to use the absolute overkill network stack of my lab to fix it once and for all.
Shout out to this github project by “zmike808” for doing the legwork and giving me the inspiration to do something about this once and for all!
So what does it do? It fixes any quality setting that a client sets, either intentionally or out of laziness, PERMANENTLY. Clients can’t override it, not even intentionally (except for a certain use case which I explain later). If a client contacts the server with a bitrate request of anything lower than “original”, it gets overridden back to original, full stop. Plex then processes the request as if the client had picked “original” from the drop-down and carries on. Things then proceed as normal, except the …

Happy Birthday to us, we’re 10 years old today!
Well kind of anyway, we started this journey as nMatrix way back in January 2013. We ran as nMatrix for 2 years, before getting a bit of a better identity. We posted about that here if you’re keen for a throwback.
It’s been incredible being part of the Usenet community over the last 10 years, and we look forward to many more! We started 2022 well, but missed some of our features we wanted to launch. altHUB is being developed in my spare time, and 2022 has been a crazy year. We’re still indexing amazing releases, but do want to continue making impactful changes and improvements. Lots has happened in the backend, between various server migrations, upgrades, DB tweaks and adjustments and much more.
We’re also open to suggestions from you, if you have some ideas feel free to reach out.
To celebrate our decade of existence, we’re going back to one of our original upgrades for a limited time - …
Hello,
I’m a new user in usenet world and trying to download contents using NZbking. Sometimes, it’s mentioned in their post that it is password protected but there is no password mentioned , sometimes it doesn’t mention but after downloading it shows password protected. Is there any way to get the password?
I have also checked the nzb in Notepad, I didn’t find any password related thing.
I’m not sure why. Both are using Docker, and are connected to Sonarr and Radarr.
It was working fine. I believe it seemed to happen around the same time I moved the downloads folder to a Docker NFS connection. But removing that doesn’t fix it. Even setting the downloads to the local SSD still gets 3-4MB/s.
I don’t get why one day it just suddenly started running so slowly.
So why not just use SABnzbd? Well the damn thing takes forever to extract something once downloaded. The file was 25GB, so it took maybe 20-25 mins to download. But then it estimated it’d take 50 minutes just to extract it, and that estimation was moving all over the place, but it was over an hour in the end. I’ve never had that with NZBGet. Some Google suggestions implied it was because of python’s multithreading performance?
I’ve pulled the latest image and recreated the container. My config is below, but first this is how media-data is created (similar thing with the …
Radarr doesn’t seem to have a system for handling stalled torrents and this feature isn’t in the pipeline (not a complaint, the dev team is doing fantastic work and I’m a huge fan of the arr suite!). I wrote a script which seems to handle this case quite well for me and thought I would share it (note that you will have to change the radarrUrl and apiKey if you wish to use it):
The script uses the Radarr API to check the status of the current torrents in the queue, if any of the torrents are gonna take longer than 1 hr (adjustable) AND are less than 4GB is in size (adjustable) then the script removes the torrent from Radarr and from the torrent client. This should automatically cause a new search to happen and hopefully find a better torrent.
I have a crontab that runs this script every 5mins in its own directory, so that the json, log and script are all contained.

You all know the problem of corrupted movie files in your collection.
I’ve just recently published the project IntegrityCheckarr on GitHub to address this problem with a new tool for the Arr-universe!
The tool is dockerized and completely easy to use.
It scans the whole folder of your movie collection with FFmpeg
and outputs the results on a nice web dashboard (ok some love is still needed). Moreover, it presents some metrics about the scanned files like which file types you have, how large the files are, and hopefully many more soon.
I am open to ideas and suggestions for improvement and would be very happy to find some interested people for future development!
Have fun checking your movie files!
Anybody else excited for dark mode in Radarr?! No? Just me? Looks amazing. Nice update for 2023.
Just an FYI. IF all of the sudden your Radarr is barking about it can’t connect to when you do a new movie search and you have a UDM/SE/SEPro turn off the new Ad Blocker.
Hope it saves someone the 4 hours I waisted tracking it down.
