Would I be better off changing my primary provider or finding an additional block account on a different server? Not sure what distros you download but I have the same arrangement and haven't had to use the block in quite a while (months).

Depends on your provider combination - I haven't really had any completion issues using Astraweb + Blocknews for a while now.

According to the iVI website if you're on Pro the issue has been fixed so just update (I have pro and confirm it works fine), but if you have the app store version you'll need to update to the latest beta.

Also remember that the little ribbon icon next to any show/season/episode toggles whether it's watched. Solid = watched, outline = ignored.

You could try setting minimum age in the indexers tab to 30min or whatever but I suppose that might turn into a DMCA issue.

Yes- with Sonarr you can toggle ignore or download on individual episodes, seasons, or even entire shows if you want.

The TVDB has been squirrelly as gently caress the past few days so just give it a little time and try again.

Boris Galerkin posted:The iOS Plex app requires a $5 monthly subscription though? Yeah no I'm not paying $5 a month to stream my own things on my own wifi network. No, it doesn't require a subscription. That's only for syncing to the iOS device for offline watching. No subscription is needed for streaming on your local network.

Basically how powerful of a CPU do I need to do this assuming it's just one user and one concurrent stream/device at a time? My 2010 Mac Mini 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo with 8gb RAM does exactly all of this just fine.

MrCodeDude posted:Is Astraweb dying a slow death? I was seeing this same issue recently after using Astra for several years. So I bit the bullet and moved to SuperNews a couple weeks ago and have been seeing much better speeds, although Sabnzbd does need to reach out to Blocknews now and then for completion of older stuff.

usenet.farm is running a sale based on the temperature in Amsterdam... pick up a block on the cheap while it's hot, I guess. They don't have the longest retention but seem pretty reliable for filling in fresh posts, and it's hard to beat 500gb/€15.

What's the best way to set up remote access to SAB/Sonarr/CP? I'd like to be able to add shows/etc and check SAB status from my iPhone, and my server is a Mac Mini. Would running a VPN server and some sort of dyndns client with a firewall blocking everything but VPN from the outside on the Mac be the best (i.e. most secure) route?

PitViper posted:No Blocknews deals for the weekend? I normally use Frugal/Blocknews/Farm and my primary/secondary/tertiary, and I'm due for a refill. Gonna jump on that usenet.farm block discount though, even though I still have ~400GB left on my last purchase. Not sure if their deal is still going but Thunder News is on the same backbone as Blocknews (both are Highwinds resellers), so it'll have pretty much the same coverage.

I'm not sure if NZBHydra has come up in this thread before but I learned about it elsewhere a week or so ago and have been enjoying it ever since. Seems to run without any hiccups on my Mac, and using it as the API for Sonarr/CP/etc. reduces the number of times you need to set up all your indexers. Most of all, though, I'm enjoying the status charts, which really help show which indexers are faster and deliver the most relevant results. Plus having one meta-searcher for all of your indexers makes non-automated searching a breeze.

# ¿ Jan 21, 2017 19:19 |

Cheers... hope it helps y'all as much as it helps me. Another neat feature is being able to limit the number of API calls to indexers that only allow a limited amount per 24hrs or whatever, which is pretty much impossible if each automator is independently making their own calls.

Cheese Bridge Area posted: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.

ub posted: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.

I feel like I already know the answer to this and am an idiot for asking, but whatever might as well - on my headless Mac Mini I've been running everything while logged in under an admin account. Probably not the best idea for something that's turned on all the time, no? And assuming I move to a standard/non-admin account, would moving all my settings from the admin account to the new one create significant issues/should I start all over setting up the various pieces (NZBGet, Sonarr, Radarr, etc)? e: eh, fuckit, I see pretty much everything has a built-in backup and restore mechanism so I'll go ahead and rebuild.

Same goes for music, some do better indexing than others.

Headphones also has the same CouchPotato problem of hammering your indexer(s) because it searches for everything individually rather than watching via RSS like Sonarr.

Best as in only option, sure, but I gave up on it a while ago because it needed so much handholding that I found it's easier to just manually use NZBHydra instead.

I see Watcher mentioned as a non-Mono-dependent alternative to Radarr, but am a bit reluctant to switch over... has anyone run the two side-by-side for comparison? My server is a Mac Mini running Sierra, and having to run two instances of Mono for Sonarr and Radarr is a bit of a hog... along with the Radarr bugs Thermopyle mentioned.

TraderStav posted:For Headphones, I have a nice set up where it will download the files to a directory that is automatically pushed to my Google music. So my own little Spotify/Apple Music/etc. with being able to get music on my phone relatively easily. Only catch is, I'm only able to get it going when I'm at home. Has anyone here set up a good solution for being able to access Headphones on your iOS device? I am sure I could note my IP address and push that port outward, but was hoping for a more elegant/secure solution. What suggestions do you have or am I being a dolt and the port forwarding is the right approach? Set up a VPN for connecting back to your home network from your phone. It's a lot more secure than port forwarding Headphones directly to the unwashed masses.

No what we mean is you run the VPN server yourself. The only traffic going through it will be your phone's connecting back home. Any Netflix etc. on your home computers will be able to access the internet just like usual.

Yeah essentially- they’ll be able to see that you are connected to a VPN at <address> but won’t be able to see where the connections go from there, and the packets will be encrypted.
