It finally happened, I went to use Plex and the videos said unavailable, when I checked the server I found all 6 hard drives had somehow corrupted and I’d lost 14 years of movies and TV I’d been collecting (22tb worth)
I was gutted last month when I had to download 6tb of videos from Google Drive since they got rid of the unlimited storage, but the downloads failed and I lost 80% of those files
So now I’ve had to start all over again!
A new Raspberry Pi 5 has been announced today, it would contain a Broadcom 2.4Ghz quadcore 64-bit ARM Cortex-A76 SOC, Videocore VII GPU, and it’s claimed to have a 4Kp60 HEVC decoder. Would this allow for hardware transcoding in Plex?
As the title suggests my ISP recently reached out to me regarding my data usage. They stated that they couldn’t see what I was using so much data on but that their system flagged me as a having a high amount of downloadoing that “kind of” breaks their ToS. They told me I have a 2tb limit for downloads per month then they changed their story to 4tb as they progressed in talking to me about lowering my usage. They kept prying as to why my usage was so high. I told them it was from downloading my entire library on Steam (which it was in this case). But I feel like I am now on their watch list as they told me they were going to monitor my usage.
I just recently started a Plex server and I feel like now I won’t be able to do it effectively because I am being monitored. I have a VPN so masking my traffic isn’t an issue. I just don’t know if I should just continue downloading what I want and ignore my ISP or if they will just kick me off or charge me …

I’m able to get newer titles without problem but, when looking for older titles and music I run into issues.
​
running the arrs with prowler.
the question is: is it my usenet or the indexer or a combination of both?
is there any special tweaks to get good searches back? for music, arrs target full albums, can I search for each song individually? what’s the best way to go about it?
I haven’t found any vids or articles that go in depth on how to find exactly what your looking for. any pointers or links to something that might point me in the right direction>
Thanks,
UPDATE: SOLVED!!!!!!!
It turned out I had a process using up like 30% of my CPU called “ Intel® PROSet”, when I killed this process, my speeds immediately jumped up to maximum bandwidth speeds! I can now saturate my connection and my ISP isn’t throttling my connection. It turned out, it was the damn Intel LAN Drivers performing poorly with all the SabNZB connections.
​
​
I have a 1 Gigabit internet unlimited connection and I can maximize it when downloading from major services like Microsoft, Steam and Battlenet. I can also max it out when testing download and upload speeds at Fast.com
BUT I’m not able to max it out when downloading from Usenet.
I suspect my ISP is throttling this type of bandwidth, but I’m not sure how to confirm or what to do about it.
​
I have accounts with 3 different Usenet providers. It doesn’t matter if I attempt to download with 1 or 2 or 3 providers simultaneously. I get similar …
Is it me, or did Viper let their cert expire?

I did just update Sab. Maybe something to do with that.
Anyone else having trouble?
Hello Everyone,
Can someone please point me in the right direction so I can make one profile prefer x265/HEVC over x264 if it’s available.
Using V4 and can’t seem to figure this out.
TIA
Disclaimer: THIS IS FOR MY WIFE lol. She watches 90 Day Fiancé on Hulu. 90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk (reaction style vids) is released in bulk at the end of the season. Why they do this to screw non-cable subscribers is beyond me, but I digress.
Sonarr and Plex are set up to use TVDB. Everything is good there. The show covers multiple series: 90 day, 90 day the other way, Before the 90 days, etc. TVDB puts all of these under seasons 1-23. NZBs get released and use TMDBs naming convention.
For example, the following pairs are the same episode:
TVDB: 90 Day: Pillow Talk Season 23 Episode 11: Breaking Bed
TMDB: 90.Day.Pillow.Talk.The.Other.Way.S05E11
TVDB: 90 Day: Pillow Talk Season 22 Episode 15: Every Time We Say Goodbye
TMDB: 90.Day.Pillow.Talk.Before.The.90.Days.S06E15
Until now I’ve had to manually download, rename, move the file to the show folder, then scan and import. It’s a bit of a pain since everything else is automated.
Any ideas/thoughts? Thanks
Edit: Solved.
Turned out to be a permissions issue on the NAS not the linux server.
-—————–
I seem to be having an issue with Sonarr accessing my media folders.
I have explained as much detail as I think is relevant. Hopefully it is done right (first time posting on Reddit).
Note that I am also relatively new (and self taught) on Linux CLI.
Sonarr Error: Folder /mnt/folder/folder_a is not writeable by user ‘sonarr’
Setup:
Content - on a local NAS
Sonarr (Application) - on a Linux Ubuntu 22.04.3 VM under proxmox which also has other arrs running (having same issue with them).
NAS folders - shared to VM through smb mount.
Each ‘arr’ has it’s own user named after itself (i.e. Sonarr = user sonarr) and they are all part of the group ‘media’
sonarr has a uid of 114
media has a gid of 1001
Fault Finding:
/etc/fstab
mounts the NAS folder under the following convention
//<IP_Add_NAS>/folder_a …
I might get chastised for this, but I created a sonarr/radarr to put.io proxy: https://github.com/wouterdebie/putioarr. It’s still work in progress, but it works (for me).
And how to prefer this over quality upgrade?
