Overseerr is basically a polished front end for Radarr/Sonarr. It’s useful if non-techies are requesting things, and/or you just want a single, dead-simple place to request (video) media. If you want to just try it out it doesn’t affect your radarr/sonarr setup at all.
@[email protected] gave a good explanation of Prowlarr. Just another simplification/automation tool.
The simple answer:
Get Qbittorrent and use it’s built-in search engine.
The fully automated gay space answer:
These are the apps you’ll need:
(There is also Lidarr for music and Readarr for books)
If all set up correctly, you simply just request something with Overseerr and it shows up in Plex minutes later with artwork and metadata all pulled in and presented nicely. You can configure the apps to look for specific resolutions/file sizes/formats/etc. TV shows are downloaded as soon as a new episode is released. It’s better than any streaming service by leaps and bounds.
seasons4u is amazing
I’m getting hung up because nobody clarified that until now thank you.
I did actually do it this way for a while, it’s clunky but works. Unfortunately my Firefox container stopped loading, I tried Chrome and N.eko which also had issues and I’m not experienced enough to overcome those.
That’s promising, can you point me in the right direction?
The staff were the ones who told me there’s no workaround except to purchase a seedbox
I should have clarified, not browsing, but the torrent/magnet link won’t work. I can’t browse from one PC then paste the link into qBittorrent on the server.
It’s not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.
Agreed I do pretty much the same.
I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing (“seeding”) the files.
You could probably install a home server management software like TrueNAS Homearr or CasaOS on your Pi and just download the “apps” that way.
The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).
Torrenting will have everything you want within 48hrs (at the longest) as long as your tastes are relatively current and mainstream. If you are into older or more niche content you’ll still likely need Criterion or Canopy etc.
I don’t know why nobody has mentioned Anytype, which is excellent and just recently added collaboration.
I would love a radarr/sonarr style app but for YouTube with sponsorblock built in.
edit: sorry I missed where you said desktop app
Got it. Well, it works and is much easier to install.
The add-on is still available in the add-on store:

I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to “backup” the things you especially like in high quality.
Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.
