Why?
They download for me no problem, but whenever I try to play a downloaded playlist, it says “cannot find path to file” or the actual list of downloaded items will be blank. Or if I’m able to play the playlist, it will only play 1 song from a 2 day long playlist.
After a year+, Plex finally mentions on going issues with Apple TV and are working out builds to correcting the issues. I guess it’s ironic since I just went to infuse to not have these issues a few days prior to discovering this.
Was doing my routine check on Plex forums to see if there has been any movement on Plex on Apple TV in terms of video stuttering/overheating and audio sync issues.
And to my surprise there was an actual mention from Plex themselves.

Question as per the title. I genuinely like paying for streaming services however given the rises in all streaming services fees I have begun to more seriously consider a NAS.
I already have 2x 12TB hard drives just sitting here doing nothing. All I would need is a second hand Mac mini for $300 to fully get going.
That being said, I’m more interested in the actual quality and ease of use of Plex, sonarr, radarr etc when shared with other family members.
Would you continue with your NAS setup, if you could have all streaming services for free?
Edit: my reason for asking is due to me enjoying simplicity. I am quite busy and the simplicity that streaming services offer is something I’m happy to pay for, albeit when the content is actually there as many posters have rightly commented. If Plex can offer an even simpler solution (after the initial setup which is not that bad), I would be happy to switch to a NAS. I just don’t want to have to be fiddling with finding alternatives to …
I recently had to totally replace my Plex server. It had to happen, the old machine was probably over 15 years old. So I decided to go modern and got a little Beelink NUC machine and have built several NAS units to hold content. I got everything up and running over a period of weeks. I usually configure everything in my home office and then move it to a server shelf in my basement. Once I had it all ready and with remote so I could do things remotely, I moved it down to the basement.
It worked fine. The interface was a little slower. All of my content is there. I watched a bunch of old shows and movies, no problem. I tried live TV and worked about half the time. Hmmm. It seemed to work ok before I moved it. I also was having problems with what seemed to be higher def shows. I was panicked. Did I just configure a massively under-powered server and would have to redo the entire thing?
I spent a couple days peeking at system stats and such. Couldn’t spot the …
I suppose I drew the short straw this year and it was my turn to get kicked in the nuts (which in turn, kicks a bunch of you in the nuts). Regardless, here we are, but this post would not be complete without a brief bit of the details of things that went down to get us to where things are today.
Despite having a contract between us to provide services with many months left, one side (not me) decided they wanted a do-over with a different contract instead and the current one was of no use any longer.
Most here know what went down around mid-December through mid January with authentication problems and such. It became apparent that this was an attempt to pop a new contract into existence. I wont get into the details of the new one but it was worse for me and by extension, you (and maybe Usenet in general). A huge shout out and thanks to UsenetFarm for taking a very large amount of traffic in a pinch (udarealmvp).
More importantly, as time has gone on, it has become clear that (at a …

I recently got into usenet scene and saw that many people have recommended Frugal, so I purchased an account for 1 month + have a block account from usenetprime. Kept frugal as priority provider for downloading and my connection was maxing which was great. But from last Wednesday or so, I have noticed speeds have dropped. I kept EU server as 0 priorty and US server as next priority then Frugal bonus server as 3 in SABNzbd. My usenetprime & frugal still are running at max speeds so that rules out any ISP throttle. But EU servers runs very slow, for reference my max downs are anywhere between 27-32 Mb/s but with EU servers I get under 5mb/s and with US, I am getting around 12.5Mb/s even though geographically, an EU server should be closer to me. I have tried changing the number of connections too, any lower than recommended connections is only dropping the speeds further
Just checking if any other frugal users are experiencing slowdowns or is it just me? I was thinking of buying a …

From https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#lq
A collection of known low quality groups (often banned from the top trackers due to their lack of quality), banned or dishonest release groups, or rips/encodes from scene and quick-to-release P2P groups that, while adequate, are usually not considered high quality.
Release Groups that break the Starr apps automation because their bad naming could potentially cause download loops, even if their overall quality is perfect.
If you look into the JSON two of the release groups mentioned in it are Tigole and d3g.
This is suprising to me as I’ve always been downloading from Tigole and found their quality and naming to be very good. And Tigole is also one of the recommended groups here in this sub.
Why would trash guides label them as LQ?
Imagine if you’re a fan of Wes Anderson - you can add them as a monitored person and everything they’ve ever done gets added as a collection to your radarr. Same for your favorite actors, writers, producers, etc
Hi Guys, I have 2 media downloaders QB and SAB my QBit moves a file to a catalogue once it finish downloading and once that is done Sonarr cant find the file and it stays in “downloading” state
When I used to have Sonarr manageing QB it would move the files to new folder but the download file would also stay in different folder so I would end up with 2 copies of release.
What am I doing wrong ? how can I fix this ?
Thanks
I’ll start by saying it’s possible this is unique to my environment and not an actual bug within Sonarr or the LinuxServer.io container. However, it had seemingly severe consequences and I wanted to share it out so others could double-check their logs / CPU usage / CPU temperatures if they aren’t already.

Hi,
Just started using Radarr. I’ve imported all my movies and used the quality profiles set in the trash guide.
Now I have set my monitor status on the lowest quality profile on all my movies (HD Bluray + Web) since I have +1000 movies and I don’t want to update them all.
Now I saw that Radarr downgrades my higher quality movies too? For example I had a 2160P HDR web-dl and saw that it downgraded it to 1080p Bluray.
Is this normal? Meaning radarr will downgrade a higher quality movie if the set quality profile is lower?
If so, what is my best option to evade this? Unmonitor all my movies or manually select a quality profile for each movie?
Is there an option that radarr links the existing movie quality to the adequate quality profile and that it only updates it in set quality profile?
