I've had this with a sheild tv pro with Kodi through a denon receiver and a tcl tv. This setup works fine for dolby vision. The container compatibility problem must be what I'm hitting. I never transcode.

On my machine sab used 20-25% cpu vs 10% for nzbget at full speed. I use nzb360 on my phone to manage things, I suppose I don't see the nzbget ui too often.

As far as arrs, both downloaders worked identically for me.

Tried to use NZBget for a period probably about a decade ago since I wanted something more lightweight on my awful hardware, but since it would fail on stuff that downloaded just fine in SABnzbd I moved back. The latter has since worked on offloading most CPU-intensive functionality to binary components so it's pretty impressive how well it stacks up against the C++ "competitor" nowadays.

Cool, I'll have to try out SAB again then. It's been about 2 years since I last checked it.

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.

What does more performant mean in this context?

Much lower CPU usage during downloads. Something like 30% vs less than 10% if I remember correctly.

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.

Nzbget definitely has an unpack stage after the download completes. It will typically start downloading the next in queue while all of the file operations take place.

Yeah, I wasn't really clear there.....I'm talking about unpacking the file while it's downloading it.

I understood. I do see an option to unpack during download though, as mentioned above.

Absolutely fair. I've not retried SAB for years now. I'm sure plenty has changed.
