Nothing pleases me more then the communities attitude of "well you should get x" "No I WILL NOT HELP YOU OR TELL YOU WHAT X IS WHAT ARE YOU? CRAZY?". I think I may need more indexers some of my more obscure stuff isn't being found.

I do not like Sonarr. I do not like Plex. I use both. The thing is Sonarr can be annoying but hey it does indeed work for the most part. What's that Sonarr? You're rejecting another file for reasons? Oh okay. You see that file right there right? Yeah it's what you want I put it their figure it out. Sonarr is good enough for most situations but for those odd ball ones it just seems to suck.

Irritated Goat posted:It’s actually not bad about anime at all. It’s a couple more steps at best. It struggles to ID animes because anime groups are idiots and Sonarr isn't smart enough. That combined with usenet just not having things makes for a fairly unreliable thing. Motor rollerblade anime? No problem. Basketball mechs? Problem. Sentient motorcycle anime with an old version and a new one? Issue. I still have voids in my no I won't kill swordsman anime. I think part of the problem is indexers put anime on a separate port so I'm using less indexers. It also got confused by an anime with an American live action version. As far as modern stuff the one I'm presently watching has been fine. It's fine I'll find a better way to get the older stuff. Edit: I think my favorite thing is when I'm in manual mode and it refuses to let me download because of Unknown Series. Stupid Sonarr I'm telling you it's what I want let me download it! https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/395 Oh yaaay looks like I might get what I want.

Irritated Goat posted:If you’re not using NZBHydra, use it. There’s a couple of extra indexers it lists as default for anime. It also helps to stick to a group for a show. It’s a lot harder for bad grabs to happen that way. I've considered it but I'm lazy (looks like kind of a bother to install on Synology) and I rather not just keep piling on the programs. Maybe I will because the alternative of setting up a vpn/virtual machine (so that everything isn't using a vpn) looks like a bother too but I get the feeling I'm going to want the option to torrent anyway.

https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/bfxn31/when_adding_animetosho_to_hydra_it_complains_that/ I like the nzbhydra developer's response. Do you make the software work the way users might want or do you make your software what you believe is the right way. Apple does the latter. Sonarr is the latter. Nzbhydra seems to be the former. I'm not saying good software can't be made by people saying "gently caress the users they're idiots" but I certainly feel that thinking you know what's best all the time can make for inferior programs. wolrah posted:The biggest issue I've had recently with the automation "overthinking" things has been that Sonarr does not like episodes that have the name set to "TBD". This has been particularly problematic with a series that recently started airing on Sunday, since the way it's sourced means that the episode name only becomes available minutes before its available to download. Obviously Cleopatra 2525. I had the lack of episode name issue on Sunday too.

EL BROMANCE posted:You also can’t get true 480p from an SD source, as that would be 480i. But yeah that line is definitely confusing when you start, and you’re lucky that the file set even says 480p as usually it won’t. No resolution listed = assume SD. When I started HDTV didn't exist. The thing is people (I) don't care if it's 480p or 480i they care about if x is higher quality than y.Size from my experience is the best metric, ignoring HDTV 480p 1080p blah blah blah. When I do manual searches I'm just looking at the title to be pretty sure it's the thing I want, while I'm organizing by size for quality. Sure size doesn't = quality but when real media was a thing I knew those 90mb files were going to be poo poo. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Apr 24, 2019 |

EL BROMANCE posted:Size is an ok metric. Plenty of garbage quality, big files out there. Efficient codecs will give you smaller file sizes at good quality so it’s just a case of working out what works best for you. Trial and error, but when you get your setup running without issue, Sonarr definitely makes that easier. Oh boy codecs/file types I loved when anime groups picked something that vlc or mplayer didn't like. (I think it was mkv at the time, fussy fussy). The only time I'm doing manual searches is when Sonarr can't manage to find me something. Of course as it's fussy about what it'll actually accept it does come up. I think Sonarr being bad stems from it having "good enough" file iding. If it was smarter at identifying it'd reject less and I'd have to interact with it less.

Based on the ratio of people people who posted problems compared to those who claim no problems weighted by the fact people on this forum generally are well above average tech users while taking in to account that people who like things don't post as much as people who don't. It isn't scientific or anything just based on my experience I certainly (probably) could be wrong as to if it's a majority. Could be far off from a majority and still be terrible though. Uh what? You certainly are blaming users at least in regards to file deletion. It's an issue if people lose their poo poo because of how a program works.

I answered your question fully knowing you weren't going to be satisfied by anything short of cold hard numbers which you knew I very well wouldn't have. Reminds me of when people asked me to prove Mnnoba was a racist after accusing him as such. What they were asking wasn't for me to explain that sharing views consistently with racists makes him very likely a racist too what they wanted was a quote of him saying a slur which they knew I wouldn't be able to provide because he'd be already gone had he done that. Well we could argue percentages that's fun. Well 51% isn't good. is 40% failure alright with you? What if every 4th person can't figure out the door? Is 1 in 9 okay? Sure maybe I should have said "Well the failure (be it user or program) rate of this program seems higher then average for software" but I didn't.

Unfucking believable Sonarr. I understand your poo poo but this is just unfucking believable. Like I wasn't even that mad when you kept overwriting my files thinking why yes the folder marked season 2, and the one marked season 3 totally had season 1 episodes. I wanted the Fox scifi not the PBS show about a poisoner. This is unbelievable and an insult to me as a person, I will never forgive you ever.

Keito posted:What naming scheme are you using then? Consider not making it monitor seasons you don't want it to touch if you're having so much trouble getting it to work with your back catalogue. It isn't having trouble with my back catalog it's something I'm downloading manually. When you have folders marked with seasons you'd imagine it'd be smart enough to go oh the user is telling me that this is season 3, I should probably assume the files contained are also season 3. It does not it sees the files with a 1-25 in the name and is like OH these are totally episodes 1-25. It's just so incredibly dumb when files aren't what they want. Sonarr will still monitor the downloader and happily place those files in the wrong spot even if you tell it to unmonitor. You have to delete it from your series list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_fingerprinting There's other solutions like figuring out hey maybe this file that is unlike the others in size/quality/ratio might not belong maybe I should tell the user? Nah it's cool they'll find out when they watch it. On another note I think I'm wrong it's not overwriting the files it's just assuming they're the same and deleting the new ones. Radarr is fine. Not because Radarr is any better at iding but because people are better at naming movies. Well there was that time it got me like a behind the scenes thing instead of the movie at least I think that grab was automated.

Thermopyle posted:I had several of those and I think it was mostly problems with multi episode files and the naming or something. I can't remember the exact details. It's my indexers not having it or in the case of one having it but my providers not having enough blocks (but as I have Eweka and whatever ninja is on I'm giving up on those nzbs). Maybe one of these magic OMG DONT YOU DARE NAME OR TALK ABOUT IT indexers (or/and maybe Drunkenslug) would have what I'm missing but my tolerance for playing games so I can be part of the "private" club is pretty low. Especially when there's zero guarantee that those sites will have it. Besides I would argue that needing to be part of the secret special indexer to get all the files, is a flaw of usenet. The stuff isn't new, and not really what I'd consider mainstream so that of course doesn't help.

I tend to grab things like 4K remuxes by hand anyway in most circumstances, usually due to cap limitations. I think it’s simply a case that how I want to approach this poo poo has changed a lot over the last few years and this feels better for me now. We’ll see in 6 months time if it’s working out. I don't expect TVDB to know how people are going to name files, that's not TVDBs job. I do expect Sonarr to be able to figure out when a file is roughly twice as large as a bunch of other files and there's two episode names that are the same, that maybe the file downloaded is both of those files. Well I don't really expect that since I've used Sonarr, but it'd be nice. https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/how-to-deal-with-2-part-episodes/9110 Also including my favorite poster Markus who always seems to be there to help but never actually helpful.
