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


My newsdemon account gave me access to their "SlickVPN" and gave me logins etc for that. https://www.slickvpn.com/

I'm running an UnRaid server and installed 'binhex-delugevpn' from the community apps.

I followed the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AEzm5y2EvM&t=304s

However, I can't get it running. If I disable VPN then the deluge client starts up fine and runs torrents as it should. When I re-enable VPN however I can't even open the web interface for the client. The client shows it is running, but is inaccessible. The only change from the video above is that I'm using a different vpn client. I'm not too familiar with VPNs and their lingo in general, so I could be messing up something incredibly simple. Any thoughts on why this might be failing?


If there's another easy(ish) method to obfuscate torrent traffic from my Unraid server I'd be glad to hear about it as I'm largely doing this just to hopefully keep my ISP (Verizon FIOS) From taking notice.


e: sorry, this is probably better off in the NAS thread, put here because the overlap.

So, restarting the PC fixed the Radarr problem. I restarted the service about 20 times, but I guess the computer just needed to think about what it had done before it started working.

This wasn't straight forward for me either (Synology not Unraid though), the config/supervisord.log file helped a lot here to narrow down the specific issues. It was picky on DNS, Privoxy and network mask settings. I started without the VPN enabled to get the core going, then flipped that on and watched it break.

That's good because normally those questions are about the only thing that can go wrong

Accidentally setting a service as "system" rather than network service has wasted many hours of my dev time over the years

Yeah its genuinely a surprise they're able to get a working regexp to pull the data they can given how sloppy some of the folder tagging stuff is, and "groups" making up their own poo poo or misusing tags.

Maybe I should ask this in some other thread, but I figure you guys may know best. When I watch things via Plex (PC server to Roku on TV with integrated speakers) the volume is ear blasting during action scenes and the like, but when the dialogue comes up it's super quiet. From what I've read the solution is to either change audio settings on my TV (I've checked and don't see anything applicable in my settings), buy an X.1 speaker system so the dialog comes out through the center channel, re-process the files with a different audio setup.

Is there anything else I should try? I really hate having to change the volume every so often and it makes the movie watching experience pretty awful for me. I don't really notice it on TV shows, just movies, presumably due to file type?

I have the same issue with my PS4 Plex client. I have a 2.1 soundbar, so if I watch a movie with a 5.1 audio track Plex attempts to mix that down to stereo and does a very bad job. I've been using ffmpeg to mix the audio track down to stereo and it's so much better.

Here's the command. The bolded part is optional. When downmixing from 5.1 to stereo you lose volume. This part raises the volume. 255 is 100%, so this boosts by 66%.
This doesn't alter the video at all. It also assumes that the file only has 1 audio channel. If you have multiple audio channels, subtitles, or want to keep the original audio as well, you will need to tweak this a lot.

ffmpeg -i "<input_filename>" -c:v copy -vol 425 -af "pan=stereo|FL=0.5*FC+0.707*FL+0.707*BL+0.5*LFE|FR=0.5*FC+0.707*FR+0.707*BR+0.5*LFE" "<output_filename>"

If I go into one of my quality profiles and remove one of the higher qualities while changing the cutoff to something lower, will Sonnar/Raddar replace my large files with smaller ones that meet the new criteria?

I've got a bunch of remuxes that I'd like to swap out for Blueray and/or WEBDL versions in order to save some space, what's the proper way of doing this?

I must be misunderstanding how tags work in Sonarr V2, as I'd thought they worked as being the preferred match for a grab e.g. grab whatever meets the quality profile initially but use a tag match as the final preferred grab.

I added some amzn tags to some shows, but what I see happening is that Sonarr seems to be treating that as a mandatory condition for a grab and ignoring other good releases that would actually be fine until the amzn one showed up (if ever). That actually blocks all grabs for episode many times.

Was my understanding of tags in Sonarr V2 just totally wrong? Is it different in v3 at all?

Yes, in v3 you can assign scores to words used in release names so you can decide what replaces what. I do this to replace tv stuff with better stuff as it comes out.

You want release profiles. It basically weights it so it's preferred but not needed.
Here is screen shot from V3, not sure if it's the same in v2.

Thanks! So basically I'll have to re-encode all my impacted stuff, which isn't great, but maybe I can just find a better Plex client instead. I actually really like the Roku, but man Plex just loving sucks on it.

NZBHydra2 users: Is anyone noticing some concerningly high memory usage? Aware it's Java and really aware that garbage collection isn't great for it (at least when I learned it). However, for a indexer agregator, it's wanting to use about 750mb? By contrast, Sonarr is using 230mb.

Java's garbage collection works just fine (as it has for the last 25 years). Did you give it a max amount of memory ? In my system i start nzbhydra from systemd with
pre:
ExecStart=/opt/nzbhydra2/nzbhydra2 --nobrowser --datafolder /home/nzbhydra/data2 --xmx 720
If I omit the --xmx param, it defaults to 512MB. When I set it (like now) the max memory it can eat (and which will eat) is 720MB. Set it to as low as you wish (256 even), it should be fine I would think. It doesn't do much.

That was indeed the recommended approach a long time ago (I think i've first heard it back in 2006 or so). After that it ceased to be recommended because GCs could delay collecting the garbage for too long (because of the minimum setting) leading to application running oom and crashing. Nowadays GCs are so advanced that I highly doubt it makes a difference one way or the other, but I don't have any studies on hand to say for sure. If in your testing it turned out that setting min = max was better for your application in critical scenarios, then sure, set them equal. Otherwise don't bother.

Ok, so I've slowly been modernizing my setup. Running Sonarr/Radarr, using NZBGeek as an indexer, and dropped SuperNews for a deal on Thundernews a while back. AFAICT Thundernews is a Highwinds reseller, and has 4000+ days retention, which is great. I'm thinking of getting a block account to try to use as backup. What block accounts are good other than Blocknews/NewsDemon (which are also Highwinds)?

Is Sonarr v3 pretty stable for daily use nowadays?

Also, is Radarr the best tool for upgrading an existing collection? Ideally it would tell show me a list of everything with the current quality level and allow me to search it based on the profiles I'll set up. I haven't touched Radarr since it originally came out and didn't like it at the time.

I have been using Sonarr v3 since early last year and have not had a single issue with it. I would definitely recommend using it at this point.

Radarr (and Sonarr/Lidarr of course) can automatically upgrade content for you, just change the quality profile to one that fits your desires and push the search button, or if you're more passive about it flag the content as monitored and it'll download upgrades if it sees a new upload come in.

Radarr will definitely upgrade your entire collection to a quality threshold you set, but it won't be able to tell what the existing file quality is. Radarr adds source and quality to the file name and uses that to keep track of things. You could probably rename your files before importing to Radarr, but that would be a lot of work.

When I switched from CouchPotato to Radarr, Radarr was able to figure out 480p/720p/1080p from the files, but marked everything as HDTV-____ in the database. It wasn't able to tell whether the source was WebDL or BluRay or whatever, but it picked up resolution just fine on its own. None of my files were tagged with resolution or source, either, just "Title (date).mkv" etc.
