Hey there,
There was this thread where people told about cool things that they had setup with/around plex. Some of the things were pretty cool and some people really wanted to know how they did it or if they could get the source code.
Because the person didn’t share it (and one person literally said “I’m interested but I just don’t know where to start.”), I made my own version of the idea (the idea was plex failover a.k.a. if your stream buffers or crashes, it will switch over to the backup server) and published it on my GitHub. I found it a really fun project and the people that asked were happy with my result.
So my idea was that if you have ever seen something that you thought was really cool but have no clue how to realise it, I’ll try to realise it in the form of a script! So tell me that “I-wish-I-had-the-source-code” or “I-have-a-genius-idea-but-no-clue-how-to-do-it”-idea and …
Just a friendly reminder to back up your Plex data. There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those that backup and those who will lose their data. I lost my Plex Server computer this week. As I used external storage, all my movies, Shows, etc are still there, but all my Plex posters, collections, watched history, added subtitles, etc. are all gone! :(
Don’t be like me, backup all your settings frequently.
Suggestion from the Plex Forums
Good luck and keep on Plexing!
Like most people on this subreddit, I’ve spent a ton of time over the years curating my content and metadata to achieve an aesthetic that fits my library to my users’ needs.
A few months ago I discovered Plex Meta Manager (I am not affiliated with the project in any way), which is essentially a set of scheduled scripts that read instructions from YML config files on how to tweak the metadata of various media items within a Plex library. Ultimately, it’s meant to serve as a repository of information (links to posters, custom metadata tweaks, etc.) that’s super easy to back up and can be easily restored if you were to experience data loss that impacted your Plex data.
As someone who has found it a pain to back up Plex’s appdata in the past, it’s been a breath of fresh air. While the initial time investment is substantial (configuring the YML files with your metadata changes), I’ve found it much easier to manage than backing up databases or the …
guess this one could be removed from the wiki.
Hey everyone, nzb360 dev here. I happy to announce I’ve just released v14.5, now with Prowlarr support!
With this new update, you can now perform the following with Prowlarr…
Lots more functionality (including filtering) are coming soon, but would love to get your feedback on this first release!
And yes, v15 will be adding Readarr =)
I see it all the time on nzbking, especially from the old German posters & boards that were all closed a few years ago.
It must be hundreds of Terabytes. All complete useless waste of disk space now.
I get it with the forums that nowadays post completely obfuscated and password protected posts. I hope these posters/forums keep backups and copies of their NZB archives so these posts don’t all become useless the day the forum itself shuts down. But at least these posts don’t pollute the clear-text search on nzb search engines like nzbking/nzbindex/binsearch if you search for particular film, show,song or book.
Sometimes these posts and their the names of their RAR files were already obfuscated and password-protected but the file names inside the RAR files weren’t encrypted/protected so the post will still show up in the search results.
I signed up for a free 14 day trial. They do ask for payment info to continue the service.
They charged immediately instead of giving any 14 day trial.
Worse - I have not been able to connect and they have not responded to my support tickets.
This place seems to be fake.
I’m having problems with Sonarr not importing What if…? automatically because of the title showing up as TBA. Is there some way that I can either make it so it will still import it, or make it so it doesn’t stay as TBA for ages.
I have been going through all of my new movies manually because I just never feel like I can trust Radarr’s decision for which movie to choose.

Radar chose #3.
All three are 1080p and the file sizes are all appropriate. The difference then seems to be 264 vs 265. I assume it skipped 265 because Radarr prefers the 264 format – I honestly still don’t really know the difference or why one is preferred. But then why did it skip the first 264?

This one makes even less sense. There are dozens of skipped files with plenty more seeders.
Should I just STFU and accept that …
Is there a subreddit that covers the entire “arr” ecosystem plus jackett plus the torrent clients? A one stop shopping for when you have questions that kind of involve all of them? A place for a question like the following:
​
I have recently setup a new linux based jellyfin/sonarr/radarr/readarr/requestrr/jackett/qbittorrent server to replace a windows system and ran into an issue. On posting about said issue people indicated that having qbittorrent delete the file after a seeding period was possibly not the right way to do this… that it would be better to have it pause the seeding and have sonarr/radarr do the deleting. Then still others piped up and pointed out that sonarr/radarr was hit or miss about doing this correctly. So NOW qbittorrent is not deleting for me after said seeding period. So before I dig into this I wanted to revisit and find out what is a) the correct way and/or b) the most reliable way. Why would it be inadvisable for …
Just wanted to express my gratitude for the auto backup feature of sonarr (I do have my own backups). Database was corrupted due to a failing component in my server and restored from auto backup in under a minute.
Back to normal :-)
Seriously, thank you for making it so easy.
I’m trying to get radarr (and sonarr) to name files with their respective hdr formats but it still calls dolby vision files “hdr” and doesn’t seem to differentiate. Here’s what I currently have set:
{Series Title} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} {Quality Title} {MediaInfo VideoCodec} {MediaInfo VideoDynamicRange} {MediaInfo VideoBitDepth} {MediaInfo AudioCodec}
Is there something I’m missing? Or should I be targeting a different tag
