I posted this as an answer to a question and thought it deserved it’s own post for discussion.
I have been using Plex for at least 10 years. There have been good days and bad days - but mostly good. I have the whole Sonarr, Lidarr, Radarr, Ombi, Sabnzb, uTorrent setup. On Windows 11, no dockers stuff.
It’s amazing that a friend or family member can request a movie or show, my system will grab it, add it to Plex, and email them that it is available
Sources of Movies and TV aside - it’s kinda mindblowing that this is possible. I’m 55.
I remember having only 3 TV stations in Black and white. I watched MTV as it launched. 8-Tracks, Cassettes, CD’s, MP3.com ( <— Someone else tell the story of how we bought music from the Russians at their exchange rate. Want an album? $1.50 my American friend! ) Netflix delivered DVD’s, The Advent of YouTube, now Streaming Services? Anyway, I have seen some changes.
Point being, based on what I …
Hey
when deciding between h264 and h265 for my library, I opted for h265 based on the fact that it should create smaller files, and I’m short on disk space.
AV1 was/is not an option yet, as I neither have the hardware for GPU-accelerated transcoding nor a client that can actually transcode AV1 in hardware when playing.
Now, I have read a bit more about the codecs and, as I understand it, the main issue with h265 is the licensing structure.
In terms of preserving my data, was choosing h265 a bad decision? Would h264 have been a better choice, or is the decision unimportant in terms of being able to play the media?
Lots of missing articles on newerish releases and overall a whole lot of errors after not changing a single thing in my configuration. Is anyone else experiencing this?
As in the title. Just a simple question.
From what I know, it’s getting longer (i.e. usenet providers are expanding). But with the current daily feed size, are they really going to be able to keep up?
Especially since there’s increasing number of people who use usenet for personal backups. Which I do not condone, and imo think it goes against the community.
Any insights would be appreciated
Note: Edited.
I’ve been trying to keep watch over at r/Usenetinvites to get my first premium indexer, and even have an app that immediately alerts me when there is a new post, but they’re always gone within 10 minutes. And checking my phone every 10 min 24⁄7 is quite difficult lol. Any suggestions on what else one can do? Thank you.
Hi guys
I signed up to Frugal yesterday and tried downloading some recent tv shows and movies:
Bonus Server:
Is there anything wrong with the bonus server?
I keep getting a 502 Authentication Error on my Frugal Usenet account. Just to be sure, I reset my password a few hours ago and tested on all available ports on all available servers. I’m using SSL.
I lost connectivity about a week ago, so I’m not entirely sure what could have caused it since I haven’t played with that server in some time. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on or how I could further troubleshoot this?
Thanks.
So I have this beautiful app on my phone called NZB360 which basically is a client for sonarr and radarr. I can do pretty much everything radarr and sonarr can do, but all at the same place and with a beautiful UI, including a nice dashboard allowing me to see what’s just been downloaded, what’s going to be downloaded soon, what new movies/show are about to air and some recommandations.
I cannot seem to find any equivalent for PC, being a desktop application or even self hosted web solution. Does it only exist ?
Edit: Thank you for the suggestions, I’m digging all of them currently !
I can’t figure this out. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I have set a profile “German DL” which I use to prefer releases with both German and English language tracks. I edited all Qualities from 720p to 2160p (with HDTV, WEBip, Bluray, …) into one big quality group, so they should be considered as “the same quality”. The rest is done per custom formats and their scores. This works great mostly.
Now, I have an existing episode on disk that is Bluray-1080p-Quality, German and English.For some reason, a fairly old release with “720p.BDMux” in the title is considered better quality, and Sonarr wants to “upgrade” to that release. I suspect that the “BDMux” part is responsible for this. This release has a much lower custom score than the existing file. The quality-group I made is the highest on the list in the profile “German DL”, so from my understanding, Sonarr should not consider any …
I currently use Tailscale and mobile browser to control Radarr and Sonarr remotely but have been seen people recommend apps like NZB360 and Overseerr but those don’t have an iOS app and from it seems like Ombi is just for requesting movies not Radarr/Sonarr management. Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated!

This makes it a bit hard to search for things but also makes me curious..

Is there any backstory to this group (assuming it’s 1 group)? or maybe they just doing their own thing and nobody knows why?
Hello, I have a problem that seems different than other people’s experiences. I run Radarr on Windows server 2019 and want to use a network drive on a different Windows 11 computer. I use the UNC directory and Radarr can see the movies and put them in the library.
However my issue is that any new movies downloaded get unpack error 9 , stating that a directory could not be created on the network share.
Same issue with Lidarr. Sonarr v4 works appropriately with the same setup though.
I checked permissions and there is Full Control permitted in the network drive.
I tried running Radarr in system tray and service, both give same issue. I used Administrator rights and no luck.
Why would Radarr be able to read from the network drive but not create directories or write files for new downloads?
Thank you.
