Is there a way to set up NZBHydra with private trackers? Or is there a similar program that can be set up? I've been looking around and it seems all the different variations have died over the years.

Sonarr works with private trackers along with Usenet FYI. Some, anyway, including the good ones. It's nice to have both setup for weekly Linux ISO episode snatches since some stuff inevitably ends up on one before the other.

Is there a way to have Plex or Couchpotato clean up movies already in my movies folder? About 1/5 of my movies are in folders and the rest are just the files sitting there in the main folder. I want each movie and it's various files to have it's own folder consolidated in the movies folder.

From:

/Movie A (1943)/Movie A (1943).mkv
/Movie B (1945).mkv
/Movie C (1939).mkv

to:

/Movie A (1943)/Movie A (1943).mkv
/Movie B (1945)/Movie B (1945).mkv
/Movie C (1939)/Movie C (1939).mkv

Or would this be something I have to figure out on my own? I could probably come up with some sort of terminal script I guess.

Some of those kinds of things can be told to rename existing files, but even if a particular tool can't there's an easy answer. Set it up so it names things the way you want, then move all the unsorted stuff to the "incoming" directory where your download client puts things. Your automatic tool of choice will see the files there and treat them as fresh downloads.

I have my organized movies in /mnt/media/Videos/Movies/ and my fresh downloads go to /mnt/media/Unsorted/Movies/

Since they're both on the same volume running "mv /mnt/media/Videos/Movies/* /mnt/media/Unsorted/Movies/" is basically instant, then the next time Couch Potato checks for new downloads it'll see a whole pile of "new" movies to organize.

Is there a reason older NZBs download so much slower than newer files from an identical server? I can easily max a 300mbit (30MB/sec+) connection on an NZB released in the past week or so, but older NZBs will go incredibly slowly, like 2-3MB/sec even with a 0% failure rate. When I say old, lots of these were posted 1000+ days ago.

Also, for those of you that use a bunch of block servers, how do you setup your priority servers/connection numbers? I get by far the best speeds from Astraweb/Newsgroupdirect, but even though they claim long retention rates, they seem to be missing lots of files (DMCA takedowns?). It seems like NZBGet takes forever to switch to backup servers in this case and I end up getting really terrible speeds and can't figure out how to optimize.

For example, this guy is only 247d old and is randomly missing from a bunch of providers and going slowly:



This one is only 24 days old:



And then lots of the really old stuff is only found on the EU servers. Seems like retention is all over the place and seemingly random.

I thought this was due to DMCA takedown notices. The watchdogs have had a chance to get the older stuff taken down, but not the newer stuff. So availability on newer stuff if much higher.

nzbget takes a long time to give up on getting a part from a server that doesn't have it, so it slows down the transfer.

Dang, you guys posted a bunch of really smart tips and tools. I really appreciate it. I ended up writing a small bash script to do it but I wish I would have checked back here first because using one of these methods would have been quicker and less scary than modifying my entire library via the terminal.

For the hell of it I thought I'd share my nzbhydra stats for the indexers I have enabled in it:



DogNZB is slow as poo poo with Hydra for some reason, and I'm not sure why the heck hydra seems to like NZBs.org so much.

Also, I don't have a VIP on nzb.is and I haven't bothered to figure out the right settings to make hydra ignore it after i've used the 10 free API hits per day, so that's why there's that many failures there...I think.

As you can see hosting your own newznab is pretty quick. Though unique results is super low...but I'm not sure that makes any difference.

I have the exact same thing with those two. I actually ended up putting Dog back into sonarr and radarr because it seems more reliable there.

Dog is super slow in general with API searches I've found. My stats are very close to yours, nzbs.org seems to get preferred too. In fact 90% of my grabs are from there, I don't like them weighted so heavily on a single indexer in case it goes down. On the other hand when I do manual searches on new nzbs it does seem to get results before the others so perhaps that's why.

I seem to remember that the primary reason for it getting pulled, was using images and examples of copyrighted movies in the screenshots.

So I'm on my last stage, getting the indexer, if I wanted to focus on the audio versions of Linux or Ubuntu with a beat, any suggestions on which indexer to focus on nabbing? Through google fu I've picked out that I don't want an indexer ending in /porn already.

With some small exceptions, most indexers are more or less the same as far as content goes. Get in to Cat or Dog and you'll be most likely happy.

I'm doing a new set up from scratch. I have sabnzbd and sonarr up and running and am now looking at couchpotato and radarr. I don't use torrents and if I need to access my set up from my phone I prefer to just use a remote desktop.

With this in mind is there much of a difference between the two or should I just flip a coin?

Radarr's dev team is a lot more active, and it does a better job of profile matching so you won't wind up with tons of lovely cams clogging up your collection (unless that's your jam). If you're already using Sonarr, Radarr will be a breeze because it's built on Sonarr.

Radarr has been far more reliable than Couch Potato since I switched a month or so ago. I had both running at the same time for a couple weeks, and Radarr would find things that Couch Potato didn't, or that CP found and just didn't bother to grab for whatever reason.

Radarr is much better about qualities and updating as well. It's been great at grabbing initial quality and upgrading to preferred final when it has the ability to. Bear in mind this means downloading two of your favorite ISOs, so if you're bandwidth constrained you'll want to be more diligent about having it wait for your preferred quality.

I recently did this and can say "yes". Though I didn't try out medusa. I sperged a bit and redid almost my entire setup that was already docker containers. Added jackett and hydra. Dropped cp sick and sabnzbd for radarr sonarr and nzbget. Picked up lazylibrarian again now that there's a fork with calibre support. Even got 2 new 1tb block accounts. Things so much smoother.

CP seems pretty useless for new releases because it by default ignores everything until the official release date. Which is kinda the whole raison d'etre for the program... Is Radarr more sorted out about this?

Yeah in the latest Radarr update yesterday you can select when to start monitoring, either after initial announcement, theater, physical media or pre-db dates.

e: I mean, this option is for whatever watchlist you use. So only add a movie that's in your watchlist after announce/cinema/etc date. Unlike CP, Radarr uses RSS watching rather than API searching and it's a lot better at profile matching so it'll grab whatever pre-release when it shows up and matches your wanted profile.

What are people using for managing requests and whatnot? I was using PlexRequests for awhile but updated it and now it won't work anymore, it just gives me a string error when adding things to Radarr. I tried nuking its database and starting over but same error.
