Whenever I read comments. I notice people often mention using different indexers, naming popular ones like Geek, Alt, Slug, Ninja, Tabula. Some even have up to five indexers in their setup, but I rarely see any mention of Finder.
This makes me wonder—why is that? In my experience, while Geek might occasionally have something Finder doesn’t, Finder usually has more releases for the same content, often from a wider range of groups.
I’m writing to warn other users of problems with bulknews.eu so none of you repeat my mistake since Bulknews hasn’t been mentioned in a few months and the times it was mentioned were due to other TLS/SSL errors of various times. Admittedly this is where I messed up. I’m a big dummy. I don’t want you to be a dummy too.
I attempted to purchase a bulk account a few days ago and was immediately provided with an API error stating that the Certificate Authority could not be verified between Bulknews and their credit card processor. The problem is that I was also charged for the service that was not showing up in my account. I immediately submitted a support ticket to get the issue resolved, but have found that my account is disabled/deleted today. They never answered my support ticket.
Just a warning to other users that might potentially fall into the same trap.
I have 2 blocks 1 on each of these. What other provider would one suggest for best completion?
… or does it only fetch/display binaries?
I’m navigating the UI as best as I can, and when I click the “Everything” tab for a newsgroup, the messages with the lowest size are around 5 mb with binary attachments… so I’m not seeing any text messages. If I’m wrong, can you help me out? Thanks.
I have limited newsreader options on a Mac. Usenapp works great, except once I try to fetch more than 250,000 articles, it just… won’t.
I (not a techie) have a Plex server. Hubby put the hardware together and a friend from church showed me how to use MakeMKV and Handbrake. I have over 1000 files on the server and share with a few friends and family. I spend my disposable income and purchasing new disks to put on the server. I ❤️Plex.
So my son in law wants to set up a server, but doesn’t have the attention span or time to scan their collection of media. So I offered to scan all their media for them. Because I consider this fun.
It’s a sickness I tell ya’. 😎😂
Thanks for reading my confession of insanity.
I bought a shield a few years ago, and had nothing but problems, due to a mix of both improperly configuring it to my receiver setup, and a hard drive dying at the same time (what a coincidence), so I shelved it and bought an Apple TV which worked great apart from a few caveats, such as playback being a black screen and being forced to restart plex, constant crashing (that’s just IOS clients in general).
I started getting some 4K truehd audio content on my server, and knowing the Apple TV cannot play truehd without infuse, I figured hell let’s setup the shield again.
Oh
My
GOD.
This thing is an actual GODSEND. I wanted to like this thing so bad when I first tried it, but now all my problems are gone and it works so well. I also had a problem with the skip intro button causing a delay in the audio, which was fixed by turning off Dolby audio processing in shield settings.
Sorry shield ❤️
I have created an app to download and manage local trailers for your movies and TV shows from your Radarr and Sonarr libraries.
Features - Manages multiple Radarr and Sonarr instances to find media - Runs in background like Radarr/Sonarr. - Checks if a trailer already exists for movie/series. Download it if set to monitor. - Downloads trailer and organizes it in the media folder. - Follows plex naming conventions. Works with Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, etc. - Downloads trailers for trailer id’s set in Radarr/Sonarr. - Searches for a trailer if not set in Radarr/Sonarr. - Option to download desired video as trailer for any movie/series. - Converts audio, video and subtitles to desired formats. - Option to remove SponsorBlocks from videos (if any data is available). - Beautiful and responsive UI to manage trailers and view details of movies and series. - Built with Angular and FastAPI.

I was previously using a reverse proxy to access sonarr remotely. I was using that for years, but now it doesn’t work anymore. I can try to fix it, or I can just scrap the reverse proxy and access sonarr through tailscale. I’m indifferent to either method, so I only care about which one is more secure.
Besides those two methods is there a more secure way to access sonarr remotely?
What’s the best way to get flaresolverr running at start up without a CLI window appearing.
Maybe I’m missing something but flaresolver works great, but is there an easy way to get it running as a service at start up? And does it impact my existing internet connection at all?
I’m new to using Sonarr and I’m planning to set it up on my server (VPS). I really like the idea of using Sonarr to keep track of my favorite shows, but I have a specific use case in mind.
I only want Sonarr to notify me about new episodes of the shows I follow. I do not want it to automatically download anything, since my server is not set up for that.
Is it possible to configure Sonarr to work as a notification system only? Also, is using Sonarr in this manner legal since I’m not downloading any content? Mainly concerned about my Hetzner VPS getting shut down. I would run Sonarr behind a VPN though.
Or is there a better way to get notified when new episodes come out?
