Got em

Can you estimate % of space saved?

I consistently rely on people in situations like yours, so thank you

Times are tough

Good luck

Problem solved. I’m a damn idiot. I have Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr set up…totally forgot about Lidarr. Thank you, sorry for the ignorance

Yeah, that’s what I thought but I wanted to try. Hate not giving back when I get something. I’m trying to retroactively seed my entire music library if possible. Looks like I’d have to make my own torrents

Yeah, that’s what I was expecting unfortunately… The problem isn’t the filenames, the problem is that the downloaded files lack any real metadata, so my media libraries ignore the files…I’m also talking about terabytes of files that I can’t afford to duplicate right now. Maybe I’ll make my own public torrents?

In my case, I’m always seeding hundreds of torrents…yet my upload rarely goes above 1 or maaaybe 2 Mbps. Could just be luck, but you can always throttle the speeds if you need to

Everybody should look into hardlinks and cross-seeding. By today’s standards, it’s painless and very unlikely to ever take up your bandwith

Once you have an automated setup like that, is IPTV even worth it if you don’t like live events?

Damn…got a rack server full of drives?

I set the minimum to 5 seeders, and I’m on 3 private trackers and raised their priority. Prowlarr doesn’t seem to care

I’m having a similar issue myself. I followed the trash guides, and ended up consistently pulling torrents with 1 or 0 seeds despite setting the minimum seeders in prowlarr to 5. Manually searching fixes it, but also defeats the purpose

I followed the trash guide for the 1080p profile for TV shows and 4k for movies, haven’t had any transcode issues…yet. If I have any issues though, I’m fully prepared to buy more hardware for the DS923+

So I originally had the Jellyfin running on a Win10 with GPU transcoding, but now I’m running it on a DS923+ in a docker image, and it’s had surprisingly far better performance. And thank you!

Is there a benefit to having the arrs on the NAS if it’s still going to have to communicate and download through the other machine anyway?

My VPN is a mullvad exit node via TailScale which isn’t supported by Synology unfortunately. So Jellyfin on the NAS, and arr + qBittorrent on my windows computer. The problem was in having the mid-download folder on the NAS, causing so many small writes to the NAS that it would shut down the connection. I moved the download folder to a spare HDD on my PC and havent had issues with the setup since. From what I’ve gathered though, this is a really inefficient setup

Gotcha, thank you for your help. In case anyone else is curious…after some testing, I think the problem is Synology shutting down all connections when too many things (downloading + scanning/tagging + moving to Jellyfin) are happening at once

I made a few updates with new issues. I’d love some advice if you have any

I appreciate the help!

That part is fixed at least. Long story short, I made a mistake with API keys. The indexers are showing up in Radarr and Sonarr now, thank you again for that.

It showed up in qBittorrent, so the connections are good. Unfortunately, the download speeds are about 400 B/s despite the indexers. Any tips there would be nice.

Ok, I’m learning and thank you! Let’s start with the first question…the Indexer sections of Radarr and Sonarr have nothing in them (this wasn’t mentioned in the tutorial I was following), how do I add Prowlarr to them?

Their lack of self-awareness makes me laugh, that’s all it is

I have, quite a bit: Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mint, Debian. Not everything is in your precious package manager

Install windows software: download the exe or msi and click OK 2 or 3 times

Install Linux software: you got at least 40hrs to learn terminal commands to install dependencies n shit? I fucking don’t, that’s not what user-friendly looks like to 90% of the planet

That sounds like something that should be ARCHIVEd. Just in case a visitor from a different GALAXY wants to use them in the distant future

I have about 1TB of music, and I’m listening to music all the time. My go-to has been a Jellyfin server with either the desktop client or Finamp on my phone. I used to use Gelli on my phone, but it stopped working a few months ago

Good luck

To add on this, most musicians make little money off physical releases. If they’re an indie group/artist, they’re probably losing money in the hopes that they gain an audience. Shows usually pay artists (but trust me, not always), and merch always gives artists something to keep them going (unless they’re a victim of a 360 deal).

I respect you for asking

I paid over $1k about 10 years ago for music software. My computer killed itself, so I made a new one and redownloaded the software…but the company said I’m an imposter. After years of fighting with them, they refused to activate my paid software despite proving my identity and showing proof of purchase. I didn’t choose to pirate, the system chose for me

Jellyfin has been the coolest software I’ve spent time learning, highly recommend

Still, its a weird situation right?

I have permanent Xbox brain, so I’d say they made an oopsie daisy even though I grew up on SNES

Just torrented it out of spite. I don’t even care about the system…I own one and I don’t play it because they got the A and B buttons backwards (that’s a joke)

Edit: also, everyone should see this.

My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool

Ooooh I see what you’re saying…sadly, I have no idea. I’m not the most savvy guy with this stuff, but your situation sounded familiar. I hope you figured it out

So I had that issue once, the solution in my case was to calibrate the HDR (not just on the TV), but my receiver and playback device too

No cap fam lit 💯 or whatever
