I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    I’ve tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.

    After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.

      Jackett isn’t automated, it’s just a search tool. You can open any search result in-browser if you wish to double check it. I do it all the time

      I mean all of them have manual searches. I don’t use automatic grabbing either because I’m just too paranoid about it grabbing a shit release, but I still use them for organizing and it’s nice to just add a movie and get a list of releases to pick from.

        As long as you have your quality profiles set up correctly they very rarely grab a bad release, I’ve maybe had to throw out 3 movies and one season of anime it grabbed during the past year I’ve been using a full *arr setup combined with jellyfin and jellyseerr.

          As I said it’s mostly paranoia. I know it works fine with movies and shows, but anime is definitely one thing I actually do not trust it to grab and import automatically. Mostly due to shit anime release naming conventions. Some trackers insist on only using romanized names making it impossible to find automatically and in my experience sonarr can’t import anime seasons due to not having S01E01 in filenames. Even single episode search doesn’t work for this reason.

            If you set the series to “Anime” it should use both episode number and absolute numbering when searching for anime. It’s certainly not perfect but it gets the job done most of the time.

                Have you set it up like trash-guides does? Works well for almost any anime I watch. The only issues I have is not finding something because of localized/JP name release that are with embedded subs.

            This is why I don’t use any of the *arrs. 90 percent of what I pirate is anime or music which they don’t work well with at all.

          And generally it grabbing a bad release is due to it being uploaded on a tracker with little moderation. I tend to blacklist a site once this happens more than once or twice.

        What particular component is doing your organizing for you? I do struggle with this at times. THAT is a massive amount of manual labour when I let it get out of control.

          Automatically? Creating folders, moving files into said folder and renaming files in similar pattern after download is completed. It also provides a nice overview of all media with ability to filter and sort like by size on disk etc.

        I only auto-dl with sonarr for anime and groups I know like SubsPlease, EraiRaws etc.

        Movies are capped to FHD-BD and remuxes are only downloaded manually.
        Also because I use a seedbox my storage quota is usually 99% in use and filling it 100% up causes me issues so I am usually paranoid about 1. the quality and 2. what size is being downloaded
