If it works I don’t see a reason to change FWIW I swapped from sabnzbd to nzbget a long time ago because it was running kind of lovely and seemed to have a reputation for being resource hungry, and then a few years after that nzbget just mysteriously broke to the point that whatever was broken persisted through a simple reinstall and I couldn’t be bothered to try and fix it to I switched back and sabnzbd has been fine ever since I now run it in a container on an arm-powered NAS enclosure alongside containers for Sonarr and radarr and if it’s still a little bloated in comparison I’m not seeing the effects of it ![]()

Running EOL software that touches the internet is usually not a great practice (not that it was getting updated regularly anyway). If the base image it is using is staying patched it is likely "fine", but it would be wise to either contain the install in a jail or some other method to minimize potential damage or just migrate over to SABnzbd. I did the latter myself and it took a few minutes and very little effort.

There is an active fork for nzbget https://github.com/nzbgetcom/nzbget

I’ll keep using nzbget purely because I really like the iPhone app I use for it (NZBClient)

LunaSea is available for iOS and Android, and it also does Sonarr/Radarr etc. but I don't know how good is NZBClient.

I paid for a license for this one years ago and its great. The dev is always updating it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kevinforeman.nzb360 Similar to the Lunasea one, let's you add all your apps to it. If anyone has used both which do you prefer?

Last time I used LunaSea it didn’t really provide much ease of use over the arr web ui. At the time, LunaSea got so doggone layered it took a while to switch between tools. Just keeping weblinks to each arr on my home screen worked faster at the time and I’ve just stuck with that out of laziness.

can i ask what apps that people are using for watching video on their iphone? i’m using jellyfin so i assume swiftfin makes the most sense but i work in an area with terrible wifi so i can’t really stream remotely and downloading is essential but not possible on the app unfortunately

You should be able to download the original file through any web browser

If you are running the jellyfin server client you may have to go in the options and enable downloads for that specific user (dashboard -> users). It is definitely possible but I don't remember if it is enabled by default.

Kinda wonder if r/datahorders or something wouldn't be a good call. outside of alt.binaries I can't imagine all of usenet is as big as 15 years of reddit, and that was just a few terabytes compressed.

It looks like the search is OR based rather than AND based, which makes it a lot harder to narrow things down. Maybe I'm missing something, though?

Jel Shaker posted:can i ask what apps that people are using for watching video on their iphone? Yeh, downloading locally all depends on what iOS client you are using and whether it supports downloads. For example, Finamp does for audio but it only does audio, not video. My solution was to get the VLC app and just use that. You can log in via safari and use the 3 dots > download, then either move it to the 'VLC' folder in Files or just open the file in VLC. Note that copying the stream URL and then pasting into VLC's Network -> Downloads section doesn't work as well, as it doesn't know the file extension and just calls it 'Download.vlc'. You can of course rename it but that's faff. The ability to download is enabled in the admin dashboard of Jellyfin via the web interface for each user. Unfortunately, the VLC app only supports connecting to a Plex server, not a Jellyfin one. Nam Taf fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Apr 30, 2024 |

Any of you law abiding citizens run a TrueNas Scale (Dragonfish) setup? And a side question...somewhat out of the scope of this thread and can point me to another since I've never been a big torrent guy...qbittorrent running through a SOCKS proxy...stuck on downloading metadata.

I don’t know what a SOCKS proxy is. But when I had problems with qbitorrent and VPN I solved it by changing the port number for qbitorrent (edit apologies if this is obviously not a potential solution)

Try something other the qbittorrent would be my advice if nothing in those threads help. Seems to be problematic. I guess also make sure you're running a current version in the unlikely event you're running an old build somehow. Aware fucked around with this message at 12:53 on May 9, 2024 |

Until now I've been using kodi to stream stuff from my server storage but I found out that my LG TV supports jellyfin. Is that any good? I've been a XBMC/Kodi user for life but honestly the ease of use of just having to switch the app on my TV is tempting if the software is not too lovely.

Plex is generally the most mature and professional option of all the self serving media solutions, some people prefer Jellyfin and Emby but imo its years off being along the same quality. Your TV will most likely have the Plex app too, but in all honesty TV apps are poo poo and you should find a dedicated stream box that suits what you want the most.

Is there anything that is at the level of a shield pro (or apple TV if you're in that system)? Every roku or Google (made) tv device I've tried has had a ux just as bad as any built in TV os

Your TV will most likely have the Plex app too, but in all honesty TV apps are poo poo and you should find a dedicated stream box that suits what you want the most. Emby is close to parity with Plex. Jellyfin is a nightmare. It's years behind with devs who want to fight users/close tickets on year-long issues. The last time I tried Jellyfin it was taking 4+ hours to scan my library (a re-scan - the initial scan tool days) where Emby and jellyfin do this in a couple of minutes. Loads of tickewts on this for literal years, multiple "we fixed it!" closures, never been fixed. When the library is scanning it makes the entire UX unresponsive so it's essentially unusable as a media server unless you only have like a dozen movies.

Yeah my most recent experience with Jellyfin to mess with live tv aspects was short lived and I have no desire to mess with it further. To the poster asking about clients, I saw this go up yesterday that discussed alternatives in some detail. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/s/14KMnBBKmW I don’t know why it’s marked as deleted this morning though. Personally I think if you have an iPhone or Mac and you aren’t bothered too much about it not kicking out a bitstream for the audio (which really only affects people with true surround systems and not soundbars etc) then get an Apple TV. If that element is crucial to you and you’re willing to deal with a bunch of other smaller niggles, then get a shield.

The first reply on there mentions Onn 4k. Not excited by a Walmart brand device but for 50 bucks I'm willing to try it out. I can put one of those on all my tvs for the price of another shield
