I started using xbmc on a soft modded xbox and then used kodi until like 2021 but goddamn it's nice to just use Plex on every device ever. like if I get an Airbnb they'll probably have a Roku and i can just install Plex and sign in and have all my poo poo. i could probably make that work from something i hosted myself but who cares.

100% this. I was one of those people using Kodi with a shared MySQL database so I could keep my viewed status synced up between TVs, then I added Plex specifically for remote access and spent a few years using both, then I got a 4K TV and it natively supported Plex so I used that while I figured out what my Kodi 4K box would be and I just.....didn't. Eventually I stopped bothering to think about it.

I am still using Kodi with the jellyfin plug on an Nvidia shield, but honestly, I am pretty close to just switching to the jellyfin app.

Kodi just really doesn't add anything that I need anymore.

I still use Kodi with a shared database, but I did try Plex a year or so ago. Since I don't do any remote access, everything is local and 4k capable with a Shield, the Android TV Chromecasts, or android or iPad/iPhone devices, I've just stuck with what's working.

Once I redo my NAS with something capable of transcoding for Plex, I might consider trying it out. A coworker runs a big Plex instance for his family and friends, but he spends a lot more time janitoring his setup than I do. I've gotten mine pretty hands-off.

It's basically just all media, which you can stream or locally download at any quality including full remux, for $3 a month, and almost no setup time or maintenance required. Nothing more or less.

Maybe if you didn't have all that setup it would make more sense?

I've been trying to effectively address this for like 5 minutes and frankly I give up. Either you're trolling, don't understand the capabilities of the system, or entirely lack a basic sense of human empathy that would allow you to understand why this would be powerful and good for most people. I hope for your sake it's not the latter, but wish you the best regardless.

Theophany posted:

A drawback I would be bothered about, if I'm understanding right is that if your debrid provider vanished or decided they were only taking crypto for subscriptions you'd have to rebuild your access to everything with torrent files all over again?

I mean, no? You can locally download anything on your debrid library, or simply stream whatever you want. The power is entirely in your hands to do literally whatever you feel like doing. If you want to store locally, the service going down would have no effect on you.

Want to locally download everything? Congrats, do so. Want to, like many people, only locally store media that you really love, and stream the rest? Enjoy. Want to not have a local server at all, and instead, simply have access to all streaming media, instantly, including full physical media bitrates? That is also a great option.

Like I was trying to explain from post one on the topic, RDB can be an all-in solution or it can simply buttress an existing Plex loadout.

Anyways, cheers :) I'm not some enemy out to, like, prove Usenet is bad. Quite the contrary, as an owner of a 100TB Plex library! And I know, that it's easy to feel attacked, or suspicious, of new options that arise. We're unfortunately getting old enough that we get to be the old guys shouting at clouds over new things, and while I get it, RDB is incredible and for most people, represents an extremely simple way to have whatever they want, right when they want it, no library required.

Usenet doesn't always have everything either but between RDB and Usenet the overall power to stream, locally download, and find any content that you could possibly want is there, with every conceivable base covered.

I set up real debrid and it's kind of annoying to get it running but it integrates nicely with the *arr apps and augments usenet. I also messed around with stremio and I guess it's a nice option for people who aren't as techy and don't want to mess around with a home media server but the UX leaves a lot to be desired. And also Plex just works everywhere.

Recently had a super fun time with one of the ISO Wars animated shows. The first 2 seasons both start off with a double length episode, though both are listed as 2 Special episodes despite them coming in as a single file, so Seasons 1 and 2 actually begins with episode 2. Season 3 did the same thing, only this time episode came as two files labeled s03e01 and s03e02 but the episode only had a single entry in Sonarr as the first episode, so I had to join the two files together using - part1 and - part2 then bump all the other episode filenames back by one so 3 > 2, 4 > 3 etc :argh: This seems to happen most often with animated shows so I pity anyone with a kids library or who otherwise has lots of animated content.

Main thing is that regular episodes are for the most part straight forward, but specials are just made up based on a million factors. If a group is using tvdb for their ordering while sonarr is using tmdb then it’s gonna clash.

I wish there was more structure to specials, I don’t give a crap about stuff on DVDs for the most part but when you have actual episodes in there it’s a shame when they’re all over the place. And they’re also easy to miss by mistake unless you’re paying extra attention when watching.

Yeah that was the main thing going through my brain when I was posting, as I was putting together a Christmas episode collection in Plex this year when I realized tons of my shows that were ‘complete’ from a season pack POV were missing a ton of episodes. Easily missed by groups doing DVD rips and the like because they’re not always among the regular episodes.

Why look at it ever unless you're adding/removing a provider? I do almost all my manual searches through Prowlarr and in the rare event I actually download as .nzb file I just stick it in a folder SAB is watching and it picks it up in a few seconds.

https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/11vrj3s/just_made_the_switch_from_nzbget_to_sabnzbd/

after reading through a lot of these comments, I am seeing that they say nzbget doesn't handle obfuscated well, or at all? I am not 100% sure if I have ever grabbed an obfuscated file or not. My sonarr/radarr experience with nzbget has been flawless, everything just works.

I noticed that it was a bit old too, but switching to sanzbd made downloads a bit slower (didn't hit 200MB/s anymore) so I switched back. Haven't looked yet at forks, but what I have so far works just fine.

I switched to nzbget when SAB went dark on updates years ago and I was building a new rig, and have never bothered to change back. Heck I’m not even on the absolute latest version, it bugs me every so often to go to the final point release. Zero issues with obfuscated files or anything else and I like the client I use on my iPhone for it.

I think nzbget randomly stopping processing obfuscated files correctly is what prompted me to switch back to sabnzbd a few years ago and it’s been fine.

Maxes out my connection without issue, but due to the benefit of timezones most of my downloading is done overnight anyway so I rarely have reason to care how fast it’s going.

I wish it were possible to understand why for some people nzbget is significantly faster than sabnzb and vice versa. I've found on certain systems nzbget was great and sab was crap and others where the opposite was true, even on the same network and using similar systems.

SAB is Python so maybe one is better multithreaded and one just likes big cores, that's all a guess though.

When I switched from SAB to nzbget all those years ago it was marketed as lighter weight and faster on low resource systems like NASes. I was trying to run everything in the world off of an AMD A-series CPU so I needed every clock cycle I could get.

I keep meaning to switch back but :effort:

This got me interested too since I've just continued using nzbget. Looks like a fork called nzbgetcom is trying to take over as official. I switched over to it without any config changes with docker.

Not an endorsement to migrate over, but I'm giving it a shot and so far so good. Nzbget is noticably more performant than SAB on my setup.

Does nzbget unpack during downloads? That could be a huge difference. I don't know the exact criteria required because it doesn't happen on every dopwnload, but more than half the time that's how sab does it in my setup and you can definitely see the disk i/o and cpu hit.
