Hey guys!
So, I’ve been getting more and more into Plex, and am really happy with how I’ve got or all set up.
I’ve got a Discord for my friends and family that they can use to request media with Requestrr. I then made a discord bot to track download status, and another bot that let’s users track their favourite TV shows, making it a one stop shop for everything they could ever need!
I feel like I want more though! My question for you guys is what cool set-ups do you have for your Plex server? Do you have some cool smart home integration? Do you have some cool thing on the back end that tells your phone when certain things are happening? Do you have Na idea for something you’d like to happen in an ideal world?! Let me know everything!
For me, I’m in the middle of making a Jarvis type of thing that will let me request things and play things to certain clients though voice, which would be awesome! I’m using WIT.AI so it can even pick up …
So I got Plex about 5 years ago when I was frustrated with other self-hosting music streaming apps. Haven’t looked back.
Since then I’ve:
-added movie, TV shows, home videos, concert movies, as well as a few other niche libraries
-Added Live TV/DVR via Locast
-Added Sonarr, Radarr & Prowlarr (WOW what a difference these make)
-Added Sonic Info for my entire music library (just…so fucking cool, and I have a pretty big library)
Plexamp is my holy holy app. I use it all day.

So I ask you fine people, have I hit the top of the mountain, or is there some other functionality I should add to my Plex setup? I should mention that I used to have Tautulli, but Plex Dash handles those needs for me now so I’m not sure I need to dive back into that pool. I know that Requestorr or services like that are probably going to pop up, but I run my server for me: my users can get what they get as far as I’m concerned, so I’m not sure I want a …
Another great source for Dutch content is shutting down after 8 years.
I hope there will be a worthy replacement soon.
It is that time of year again for many of us. Our kids are going back to school, we are going back to school, or maybe we are just wishing we were young enough to go back to school….
We are running a week long promotion to help people get back into Usenet for the Fall.

I recently started using Usenet, suggested from a friend. It’s all very new to me and I’m pretty clueless for the most part. As far as getting set up with a provider, indexer and downloader, that has all been super easy. I’m currently using Newsdemon as a provider and NZBGeek, with Radarr and Sonarr for automation.
However, my main concern is safety. Obviously this isn’t torrenting. I just don’t want to do anything stupid that you’d expect to happen to new naive user, such as viruses, hacking, etc. I’ve read the sidebar and other beginner posts pretty thoroughly, but I’m wondering if there is anything else I should be doing.
I vaguely know how it works, but let’s say there’s a binary post from 2002 referenced I’d like to access. Is it possible it still exists out there like googles archive or do binaries get purged?
It must has been asked a thousand times, but I cannot get it right.
I added a new show and Sonarr downloaded 5GB episodes instead of the 1GB h.265 version. How can I make a h.265/hevc file higher in priority but not rule out a h.264 version if the h.265 isn’t available?
I would like to change the search criteria of Sonarr so that it only downloads titles that include “What If (2021)” and ignore everything else. There are lots of titles that just have “What If” and they are from the (2019) series.
Update Aug 18th: Looks like e02 grabbed successfully. How do I change the flair to solved? All I have are available are help! and discussion.
I have a full directory of shows that are also in Plex. I decided to try out Sonarr. I am using windows based Sonarr and folders and files are stored in hard drives on computer.
I did not authorize Sonarr to change titles, probably a big mistake that I now have corrected.
Issue with Bob Ross Joy of Painting. I have many seasons. I had them in directory Bob Ross. This resulted in the show listing in Sonarr as Bob and Stacy. I went through the FAQ - and did the following:
-Changed directory name in windows to Joy of Painting. The Seasons are listed /Bob Ross- Joy of Painting - Season 01… and so on.
-In Sonarr - Series-Mass Editor I changed root folder to /Joy of Painting.
The result was nothing seemed to happen. Bob and Stacy still listed and Joy of Painting not listed. I then went into system and allowed Sonarr to change titles. Tried the above and nothing.
I would think this is a common issue but searched the heck out of it and could not find the answer.
Is there a way to filter shows whose episodes contain/don’t contain XYZ language?
The only language filter option I see is for Language Profile. I know the language data is in the database since it’s part of importing. I’d like to be able to filter shows to see which ones have non-English language episodes.
Is it possible to import a movie into Radarr via the API? Sonarr allows doing so via its /command/DownloadedEpisodesScan endpoint but I can’t seem to find anything like this in the Radarr API docs. The closest I’ve found is the /movie/import endpoint but, from what I can gather, this is just for importing already in-place movies into the Radarr database (as is done in bulk import view) while I’m looking to replicate what happens when a movie is downloaded (move to library, rename, import into database). Thanks in advance.
