4K Dolby Vision w/Dolby Atmos disc rip DirectPlay from a Snology NAS on an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max Gen2 over WiFi.

I know there are good softwares to manage and read ebooks. However on Plex I already have my audio books, movies and shows etc. Would be cool to open the app and have a nice list of books on there too that myself my family and friends can enjoy.
Edit* there’s a lot of negativity about Plex need to do what Plex already does but better and they won’t add new features because they’ve lost their way etc. No-one really doesn’t want this they just think it won’t be done and offer alternatives, fair enough. Just personally from my experience dealing with software Devs this doesn’t seem like such a big deal to implement, the databases of the media data already exist, the software of ebook readers already exists and can’t be hard to implement. If I worked managing Plex I’d just get a junior dev to work on this in their downtime and if it works get some seniors to look it over and implement it in alpha. The only true potential reason I see …
We have been noticing more and more posts and comments asking where to get content. This is not the purpose of this subreddit. Effective immediately Rule #1 is no longer limited to specific content. You can say that you download movies, TV, books, etc but cannot name specifics (ie. title, producer, release group, broadcaster, content creators, etc) or ask where to find content. There are better and more suitable places for this on reddit than \/r/usenet.
That may seem limiting but it really isn’t. You can still ask for provider or indexer or software help or suggestions, it just can’t be related to acquiring content be it specific or general.
We want to keep this subreddit safe and we need to distance ourselves from providing direction on where to acquire content for our own good and that of the the places that provide that content.
As in the past this rule will be actively applied and all users are encouraged to use the report feature for any posts or comments that …
As someone who exclusively used torrents before, understanding how to get started with usenet felt like dark magic to me, so I’ll try to summarize my knowledge so far here for anyone who might be just getting started and feeling as clueless as I was.
Most of the details mentioned here, also exists on the wiki but I’ll try to summarize the bits and pieces that I found useful to get me started as tldr as I can in case someone could find it useful in the future.
What is Usenet?
Aside from the official wikipedia definition, usenet started as a distributed system for news articles, however it’s currently used to distribute different types of binaries and media (movies, series, music, isos, …etc)
In order to get started downloading content through usenet, there are 3 main components you need to understand.
Usenet Provider
The easiest way to think of a usenet provider is that it’s a some servers containing the different files (aka “articles”, …
Its been a long time since I have used NZB’s and forgetting a lot of things. I want some suggestions on NZB indexers? Specifically open for registration, wouldn’t mind paying for some lifetime memberships
drunkenslug is closed registration so that is out of the picture
NZBGeek and NZBPlanet are the other two I am looking at. Any other suggestions or would I get away with registering for those two? Mainly for TV and Movies.
​
Do I even need indexers? I have bought NewsHosting account which has an interface. I have hooked up the api key with SabNzb
​
I’m not sure how legit and reliable this usenet-crawler indexer is, seems like to went down and up a few times in the past couple of years, last time it was resurrected again earlier this year.
Can’t tell about the quality or originality of the content it has (I leave it to others to investigate if they are scraping), but at least I found one good release that was not on other indexers that I can access.
In any case they say the lifetime account for €20 will only going to be available until the end of 2023.

Free account also available with limited API access.
Edit: admin said from next year it will be €20 for 2 years
Edit2: Role upgrade is not automatic, ping the admin on live chat (bottom right icon)

After a year of development and almost 1000 commits by more than 100 contributors Sonarr v4 is officially launched and out of beta. There are hundreds of changes to both the UI and the backend, and as such an upgrade is not backwards compatible.
The major changes include:
Title! Hopefully I don’t sound too much like a lost puppy dog, but I was poking around the subreddit and I see a lot of people mention that YTS/YIFY releases are crap and you should really try to avoid them if you can due to bad audio quality, but the most recent mentions I’ve seen about it here are from a few years ago.
So in almost 2024, are YIFY/YTS releases still not great? If so, what alternatives would you recommend? (not specifically what tracker to use, but what else should I look for when searching for a title?)
I have been using YTS/YIFY releases almost exclusively for years now and it never dawned on me that the quality was lacking as I honestly never noticed it, as I’ve just been using my TV’s crap built-in speakers so I don’t think I really can notice the difference in audio fidelity, but going forward I’d like to eventually build a proper audio setup so I’m sure I’ll notice it then.
Additionally, I am not using any Private …
Are there alternatives or can you just use Radarr these days? I never used any *arr service and am doing some research :)
I mean wouldn’t I just add the same indexer info to prowlarr?
I was considering adding the “top watched movies this week” list to radarr. It sounds nice to have things automatically added but then because I don’t have unlimited space on my NAS. I would have to manually delete movies at some point.
How does everyone handle this portion? Most of the time I just use overseerr to add the movies I want and then delete them after so long. But that’s a much smaller quantity than If I start adding lists I believe.
Also I have no interest in hoarding media.
