  • Unfortunately I can’t be of much specific help, my setup is pretty specific to my NAS and my content comes from usenet so it’s a little bit different.

    But the first thing to do is bring it up in stages, starting with running one workflow. Say movies because they are a bit simpler. Run your search from inside Radarr and check the logs, you should get a good idea of where it’s breaking. Once Radarr is working as expected and placing the processed download in the right place you can move the same settings to Sonarr. After those are working then try running them from Jellyseerr.

    If you get stuck post the error message you’re getting, without that we can’t help.




  • Sounds like BlueRay Remux and Web Downloads are what you should be looking for. Radarr and Sonarr shine at this.

    High quality audio can consume a great deal of disk space, but it’s probably going to unavoidable if you’re looking for releases with multiple audio and subtitle tracks available. I would not exactly call this rare anymore, but it’s definitely not the default so you want to wait until after you have search and download working across the board.

    The only thing I didn’t see on your list is any type of library optimization. I kind of gave up on it myself because it’s faster for me to just redownload something than recompress it, and that’s their major use case… but you might find utility in removing additional audio or subtitle tracks, or to rearrange defaults.

    Handling additional data streams like subtitles and multiple languages is not quite as mature, hardware players often have strong preferences. Something to keep in mind as your planning out your setup.



  • I agree wholeheartedly, alas we live in an imperfect world. It sounds like you’ve waited for an update or two that took longer than expected.

    I’m not arguing that the source code shouldn’t be made public. If someone posses the right skills they should definitely be able to take full control over the devices they depend on to keep them alive. It’s a invasive feeling knowing you depend on a gizmo to not die.

    The author of this article is glossing over a lot of steps by implying that open sourcing the apps and firmware is a fix for delays in app store approval or other common problems that are inherent in the software/hardware ecosystem. It not really a flawed argument, it’s just not what I would’ve lead with.
