Any speed comparing between NewsgroupNinja, NewsDemon, and Thunder News? Thinking of switching off Ninja to one of the better deals.

nzb360, the Android app that allows you to manage Sonarr/Radarr/etc. remotely from your phone, is on sale for 30% off ($5.49). You have to make your stuff accessible externally (I just VPN in to my home network), but it's really nice being able to just fire up one app and see what's been grabbed recently, add a show, etc.

Pro is an in app purchase from the free app.

Fun fact: If you have a super fast internet connection and use direct download in sabnzbd and are using an external USB drive sabnzbds cache will fill up and your speed will go to poo poo because the entire thing can't keep up due to the additional disk access direct unpack causes. You can probably remedy this by having your incomplete folder on an SSD but I don't have the space on my little intel NUC i am using for my home theater setup :(

Turn off direct unpack?

Is there an automated way to search and be notified for specific search queries? Like CouchPotato is for movies or Sonarr is for TV, I want to be able to automate my searches for random crap that doesn't fit into popular categories and that may not even exist. For example:

"art bell bob lazar mp3"
"pc.gamer november 1998"

It might be old radio shows, it might be old magazines, etc. Just random niche content. I would love to be able to define these search terms, have it search once a day or once a week or something, and then receive a notification via email if it finds something new that fits certain criteria (ie, larger than 1mb, etc.). Then I could go look at it to see if it's worth downloading or if it's crap.

I have a small list of stuff like this that I check every once in a blue moon and it would be nice if it could be automated. It's stuff that might not even exist or would pop up completely randomly if it does so I don't keep an eye on it very much.

Go to interactive search for that episode and see what the preferred score is for each entry, compare back to your rules and the file it grabbed, that should be the place to start looking. It should be grabbing the one with highest preferred score. After that turn on debug logging and you have to wade through some logs looking for its reasoning.

I see why now. It has Web as a higher quality than HDTV and does upgrades based on that. I guess the real question is do I just delay it 12 hours to prevent it from downloading 3 copies of the same release or just continue not giving a poo poo when I've been hitting my bandwidth cap lately.

I've got a similar sonarr issue. Getting quality upgrades (eg. from 1080p to 2160p) works as I would want - there's the 'Upgrade Until' dropdown that lets me set the point that it stops looking, so it just upgrades until I'm satisfied.

However, I've been using release profiles (which are fantastic and help me prefer/avoid certain groups and formats), and I'm finding that if one of these preferred formats/groups pops up later, they are replacing what I already have. But I'm always already happy with what I already had. I don't use release profiles to upgrade, doesn't seem to be a way to turn that off.

This is more of a bug/feature request for what I am aware is beta software, so I'll put it to the project, but since you're talking about a similar idea I thought I'd check to make sure I'm not missing something.

I've given it several chances myself. Finally gave up and just added the magazines I'm looking for to a custom search on Dog and have the RSS pass to sabnzbd. Kind of a kludge but it seems to work.

Centralised Indexer management. I resisted for quite a while (after all it was only 2-3 settings pages) but now that I have it, I love it. Even the occasional odd manual search is more satisfying.

I had to reconfigure my Unraid server this last week, and for some reason now Radarr is deleting its download history from SABnzbd. Sonarr is working like normal, and it's not really a big deal since they are still downloading and getting picked up by Plex, but it's annoying not having that history. Anyone have a clue what setting might be causing that?

e: nm I'm a dummy I must have overlooked the switch that was causing this

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy


Anyone got a decent setup guide for getting things to play nice together? Been slammed at work so haven't had time to sit and work on it again yet but I got my Unraid server up and running.

I got NZBGeek for searching, Sonarr and Radarr and NZBget and then Plex Media server. Later this week I'll go back and add NZBHydra and get NZBGeek (paid) and another free tracker to pipe into that.

What I'm having trouble with is figuring out the file structure / where things get saved to and when / how they are handed off between programs. For example Sonarr wants me to put in a folder when I add something I want to search for, but it wouldn't at that time let me put in the folder path that Plex would be looking at for its library.

I've managed to get some things downloaded and I can play them directly off the UnRaid drive with VLC etc, but I haven't gotten Plex to "see" the items in those folders yet. Sorry if this is disjointed, just trying to describe the problem and am not at home with access to the server to be more specific yet. If there's a better guide out there that details how the file system stuff should be set up that would be helpful and I can probably figure out the rest on my own. Otherwise I can give more detail later if nothing comes up.

I don't have a full guide but I can answer this part only. I have the following shares:
  • tv
  • movies
  • downloads
  • music
  • The default ones: system, appdata, domains

There are subfolders within of course. For TV, Sonarr manages it all, and for Movies, Radarr does etc.
One thing to note is that I use the same folder mounts in every docker contailer e.g. /mnt/user/tv is /tv in each and every one of Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, Plex etc...

I've used it for a year and not felt the need to change it.

What am I doing wrong here?

Lately my Sonarr install has been fetching obfuscated NZBs through SABnzbd, which is normal, but instead of deobfuscating the files and moving them to my sonarr directory like it used to, it deobfuscates the directory the file is extracted to but doesn't rename the actual file. Sonarr has no idea what to do with this so I keep having to go in and manually rename and copy everything.

Am I missing a setting somewhere in SAB that changes this?
