Is the music *arr app any good? I know it comes up occasionally but I can't even recall the name.

Ideally It can plug in to my Spotify favourite artists/albums and grab things for me in my format of choice (WAV/FLAC) but maybe that's wishful thinking.

Lidarr, but I've never been able to get it to work for me. There's just too many different versions of everything, the US release, the JP version with bonus tracks, the first remaster, the next remaster etc etc.

I sometimes have hits for really really popular stuff. But anything else is a mess. I mostly just use it to manage my own music I downloaded from Bandcamp or ripped from my own CDs.

Yeah, Lidarr can work at times, but the state of music releases on usenet is pretty sad. 75% of the time when you look for an album that isn't a major new release it's going to find individual mis-matched tracks and choke on them.

I figured as much. The stuff I'm into is niche enough that I have to buy stuff off of bandcamp most of the time anyway.

Bigger labels seem to just get dumped on there like anything else.

You're better off using a tracker. People take a lot more care to make sure all the files and metadata are correct.

I've just started using Lidarr to keep track of my music collection, but I'm mostly not downloading from Usenet or using Lidarr to do it.

It's great that I've been doing Usenet stuff for like 15 years and it keeps getting *better* instead of worse. I just migrated all my stuff to a seed box and instead of uploading all my video, I just downloaded it all again, and it worked perfectly. Within like 3 days I had gotten basically everything.

Yep. I remember before the days of *arr manually downloading episodes one at a time from binsearch and I wrote a bash script that would run through my downloads directory and move episodes into series and season folders. It would have blown my mind to see where we are now and how easy sonarr makes things.

It is pretty funny that Sonarr (and possibly other *arrs) don't like NZBs with the names of languages in the title, even when they're also in the name of the episode. It didn't have any problem manually downloading the episode "Greek Revival Bookcases" but it sure wasn't gonna do it automatically.

Maybe I'll dig into the source and see if I can make it ignore language descriptors if they appear to be part of the episode title.

Does anyone know a way [preprocess script?] to forbid Prowlarr/Sonarr/NZBGet from accepting nzbs containing no par files?

Some of the indexer automation of p2p releases gets a little wonky and with no pars I'm out of luck if anything goes wrong.

You'd probably have to script this on the NZBGet side as AFAIK none of the *arr software does anything but parse titles returned from indexers when picking. Prowlarr doesn't really have any filtering functionality yet either.

Is it renaming of obfuscated stuff that gets messed up? From what I hear SABnzbd is a lot better at getting this right, but I haven't used NZBGet for ages and don't really remember why I ditched it.

It's there an indexer that's any good for stand up comedy? I'm finding a bunch of shows manually with NZB King which aren't showing up on slug. It would be nice to automate them with Radarr but obviously I need an indexer that lists them for that to work.

Lol that's pretty insane yeah, I don't bother with any of that stuff in the filename if I'm using Sonarr/Radarr because it'll keep that history for me anyway. If I'm doing things manually like I do with HEVC stuff for archiving, I just leave the original filename in place so I know at a glance what it is, so I don't replace with an AVC encode by mistake etc.

On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to be there if you're using library-based players where you don't see the filename. Occasionally it can be useful to know which specific release you have long after the NFO has been deleted.

I've used a minimal naming scheme for years because I was a late adopter of library based players and wanted to keep the filenames friendly for copying to other devices. Since going all in on Plex that hasn't really mattered anymore and when trying to replace a broken release with a new one it's nice to not have to guess which one I have in the first place.

Not saying I'd necessarily go all the way to a scheme like that, but I also can't say it makes anything worse.

The fact though is it can make things worse. Super long file names can gently caress with the path length compatibility on some Windows systems. While it is significantly easier to show with anime, even non-anime stuff can come up on and hit that max path length issue once you factor in the rest of the file path structure. Yes you can manually enable long paths per windows client, but you might not always have access to them like that.

I've grabbed these examples from the Tdarr discord. The first example directly breaks the maxpath limit, while the second one is right up on the limit if you have anything more than say "Z:\TV\" as the rest of the path. Stripping the extraneous bullshit from the filenames gives you much more breathing room in that regard.

I've gone with the trash guides naming but it didn't bother me because in Kodi I never see those names. I did find it handy on a few occasions when media wouldn't play properly, and I was able to quickly trace it to the encoding or release not being compatible with my setup, and replace it with something different.

In get keeping the quality, release group etc in the file name, but I can't think of a single time it would be useful to have the IMDb id in the file name? Some kind of library that can't index by movie name and year alone?

Edit: what's with the exclamation mark after series names? I checked it out on the guide and they don't give a reason for it.

The ID is definitely intended for helping media applications identify files correctly. It's not extremely rare that Kodi and Jellyfin manage to misidentify movies or shows, and especially Kodi with its "Universal Movie Scraper" is surprisingly inaccurate when matching on "$TITLE ($YEAR)" directories in my personal experience.

I've recently opted for just letting Radarr write metadata to disk instead of embedding IMDB IDs in filenames though, which leaves nothing up for interpretation down the line. Will probably do the same on the TV side because it seems to work well and be worth all the extra files strewn all over.

As for the exclamation mark I think it's just part of the lovely show name.

Yeah v3 on both. I absolutely wouldn't argue that it's bad, It's just not optimised. My biggest gripe is the over flow when manual searching and checking why a release was black listed is clunky.

Nzb360 also feels snappier. My server can take a minute to wake-up when I first log in to Radarr/Sonarr. With nzb360, the interface is ready straight away and my server has usually woken up and ready to respond by the time I search for anything.

Looks like this is basically the android equivalent of LunaSea. Super useful, the only gripe I have is that if I add an episode, I'm several layers deep (Sonarr -> Show -> Season -> Episode Search) and getting back to SABnzbd means going all the way back to the main screen and losing all that context. I usually just keep an SABnzbd tab open in my browser so I don't have to deal with it.

I don't understand why you need to "get back to SABnzbd" after adding something in Sonarr, but guess it's for this use case that NZB360 has a pullout menu on the side of the app for instantly accessing SABnzbd from any view... I'm bad with touch screens and occasionally make it appear on accident.

I let Sonarr rename everything, and Radarr renames nothing, it just puts the original files in a nicely-named directory. If Sonarr downloads something that's bad/hosed up, its easy to just blacklist what it grabbed and let it pick something else. I let Kodi handle displaying and playing the media anyway, and it's all easy enough for even my 4yo to play the next show she wants to watch.
