Quick question. Is it really worth it to run containers when you're normally just running it on a Windows install?

For me it'd be worth it just because it gives me a lot of flexibility and it's easier to maintain, but if you don't know anything about containers and you don't care about learning them then it's probably not.

Have the Black Friday deals largely already popped up yet or are they still yet to come? I am looking at building my own NAS from an old Acer XC600 desktop I have to use as a Plex server. I have access to a family members Plex server so I won't need to be pulling down tons of stuff, just a few specific things they don't have (they aren't really scifi fans so are missing most of that genre from their collection for example). I'll try not to poo poo up the thread with bad questions but will probably have a few. From reading a few pages back to now though it looks like I should just grab a block plan for my needs at 1-2 different providers and will need to get a good indexer. What's a good indexer to go for given that Drunkenslug is closed for now?

I've had no problems with NZBgeek so far. I paid up for lifetime because I am lazy and don't think they're going away anytime soon. BF deals haven't shown up yet AFAIK, wait until..Black Friday?  I got a Usenetserver.com one a while back for $20/year unlimited with VPN.

For your purposes there's basically no additional resource usage of running in containers vs just running on the host. (except the containers take up a lot of space...think of it like downloading a whole OS for each app, but not quite as bad as that sounds)

They give you five free downloads a day, so you can sign up and see if they have the stuff you want before paying. Bank posted:I've had no problems with NZBgeek so far.

I think they did a $20 lifetime deal on a Black Friday when I signed up.

This should give you an idea roughly of the resources a fairly sizable container based nzb/torrent system takes up. There are a few extra containers in there to support my home automation. This is all running on a Synology NAS. Also the radarr is currently doing a refresh thats why it's CPU is higher.

so, I gather that they have they properly sorted out gaming performance with hyperv enabled at this point? early on (windows 2008, yes I gamed on windows 2008) it was a very problematic thing

It certainly does still impact performance, I/O operations especially were heavily affected in my tests. But with how fast PCs are nowadays, it's well possible to play with Hyper-V enabled.

EL BROMANCE posted:Ah sonarr and your insatiable desire for ram while not doing much. Limiting the RAM resource in the Docker also works. When I had less RAM in the NAS I'd limit it to 700MB and Sonarr ran without issue. Some of those apps just grab more naturally if it is available and don't give it up until the NAS is stressed, it's hard to say what is actually needed.

Getting a lot of "this release is blacklisted" on NZBgeek. Does this mean that the release no longer exists on the servers due to DMCA or something?

If your downloader fails to complete a download it will automatically blacklist the release so that it doesn't keep trying to grab it ad-infinitum. I see this a lot with some shows, makes me think I should pick up a block account at some point on a different provider.

Is there any advantage (or disadvantage) to having my download directory on a different physical hard drive than the unpacking destination? I’ve got a / mount point and a /videos mount point and they are separate physical drives in the same machine. Right now I have my downloads inside /videos but would it be advantageous to me to move downloads somewhere else off of my videos drive?

Wouldn't unpacking to another drive mean better disk performance, though? Because the heads don't have to move back and forth? Seems like a beneficial setup to me. File copy operations on the same drive are terrible for performance.

Yeah it’s funny, it kinda makes storing everything in the cloud attractive (alas the costs of doing that with speed is less attractive). Dongattack posted:Any ideas for a way to make Sonarr grab a certain critically acclaimed totally not about vietnam doctor comedy show WITHOUT a laughtrack? I can only find a laugh version. Sounds like the dvds have 2 audio tracks, so check just in case the rips have both encoded. Then I guess you could flip the order for each file rather than hand select each time if that’s the case.

Nzbget makes this a configurable option. I can't remember if sabnzbd does, but I'd be surprised if it didn't. Anyway, I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was pointing out something you should think about when you configure your client.

It fascinates me how terrible some design decisions of Sonarr are. I've had it ID the wrong season of anime (it's pretty bad at it), when I go to change the season it'll also blank out the episode number (which sometimes is already right). Okay fine I'll just type it in... no it makes you select it from a list. Actually it does that with seasons too as if someone doesn't have number keys on their keyboard. Like it's trying to be helpful, but makes a simple task take longer.

I can't say I've ever had to manually edit season/episode number tagging in bulk aside from those few series where the official numbering is an absolute clusterfuck and the community has been unable to agree on which scheme to follow. Sure an episode or two might end up wrong every now and then, usually because some idiot posted it wrong, but it's certainly not a consistent problem. I'm currently tracking over 200 series and the last time I did any significant manual editing was when Mythbusters was still airing.

Check boxing is annoying but I guess it ensures it’s filed exactly as you want it to be with no room for error. But yeah I believe if he did this in V3 it would give it another stab of auto calculating it after the season is changed. You can also check a whole bunch of episodes and set show name and season number in one click which is a massive improvement. The only time I really have issues with this stuff is due to bad tagging, especially with ‘specials’. Like there was a bunch of Good Place webisodes that came out before the new season, and the folder tag marked them as .S04. which caused issues naturally.

Download, blame "the scene", Adding, blame TVDB's roving band of idiots. Someone changed a whole bunch of shows on mine to Russian posters for the shows. I really wish there was another site for shows cause it's dumb as gently caress.

Don't really care too much about the posters in Sonarr, but had a Hebrew poster for South Park show up last week for some reason. I know TVDB is under massive API issues right now as they've changed over to a new version, so metadata is barely working and posters are completely AWOL for most of us.

My issue isn't that anime is poorly IDed (I mean sure it is an issue but not really my main complain there). The issue is it actively makes manually fixing it harder for reasons. I think those reasons are that they believe it makes things easier, but it clearly makes it take longer so I don't get it. Sure being better at IDing the files would fix my issue but also not having garbage UI design would work too. I'm pretty sure I've had files with "Seasons 2" in the name and it's like hmmmmmmm okay I think that's season 1. Irritated Goat posted:ID the wrong season for download or for adding the series?

Anime having lovely tittles isn't new, and should have been taken into account when designing the program. Of course if you don't care that people want to use your program for anime I suppose you could ignore it completely. I'm also not convinced titles like that are so difficult to ID with the right season (in the screenshot I had already changed season which has had Sonarr helpfully deleting the episode number for me to fill in)

Can't imagine how a program could search for "Season 2" in a string and find it. That's just too advanced! The name is a mess, but it still has the information necessary to ID it. Oh no it's "weeb poo poo" clearly the users of usenet/sonarr etc probably have no interest in that! You do realize anime is pretty popular? Probably very heavily so with the people who use usenet? (maybe not as torrents/streaming is general the way to go) Like I get it hating anime is cool and all but really it's just loving tiresome. Oh you hate live action films? Oh you hate books? Here's a secret the majority of most of anything is bad. So saying anime is bad, while that's true it's not really anything special in that regards. Also and more importantly it identifies the episodes right just the season is wrong but when I fix the season it blanks out the episodes. That's just poo poo, plain and simple.

Hasn't anime always had issues like using weird codecs and subtitle garbage and some other things? Whether you hate anime or not, I'm not surprised developers just try to ignore it when for whatever reason, their poo poo is always a mess.

I don't even think it's just anime that has that problem it's much more guilty of it and most shows have enough people uploading it that it doesn't matter if Sonarr can't really ID some of them.
