  • No you’re right, the hardlinks themselves are not directional. I just misunderstood the advice as meaning that Radarr would create a hardlinked file in my torrent folder, using the existing file in my media library. (It will not)

    The part that was tripping me up was that it seemed like I had to manually add the movies to Radarr’s library before it would let me import any of my torrent files. Otherwise it would give me an error saying the movie was unknown.

    I think I’m starting to get the hang of it though.




  • Sure, that would get all the torrented content into radarr quickly, but I guess I should have stated that my intent is to continue seeding that content from the qbittorrent client on my media server.

    Unless radarr is somehow smart enough to hardlink the opposite direction (from the media library back to torrents folder) and let qbittorrent know that content is ready to seed…?

    I mean, you replied twice to my comment, to let me know you weren’t worked up, so…

    Also stating

    passivity in the face of decline has always been the preferable option. Protecting our sacred decorum is so much more important than maintaining a critical eye and standards

    makes me think you’re taking it pretty damn seriously lol



  • Not OP, but I can answer part of your questions:

    if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

    I have Plex and Jellyfin running off the exact same media library no problem at all. So there should be zero need to modify anything–if anything Jellyfin seems a little better at catching “extras” folders than Plex.

    I don’t need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.

    The Jellyfin app plays music–but it’s definitely NOT a music app. I always hear Symfonium highly recommended, but have not yet given it a whirl myself.


  • Absolutely. They are not going to share metadata or things like played status, but I have been using both simultaneously since almost the first day I spun up my media server.

    I definitely prefer Jellyfin overall, but Plex is more convenient for sharing with less techy family so I keep it spun up. Jellyfin also requires some finicky network configuration (so I have heard) to cast media to a Chromecast, so Plex wins out there.




  • I bought a set of mugs like that recently. It’s a shame because they are pretty nice looking, and comfortable to hold when empty. But when full of hot liquid, the handle just is totally inadequate.

    They are from IKEA, so at least they didn’t cost too much, but I am a little surprised because their stuff is generally pretty well thought out from an ergonomics and usability perspective–it’s only really the sturdiness/durability I ever worry about.

    The best mugs I have are still a pair of the stereotypical featureless cylinder type I got from a giveaway 10 or 15 years ago–they are utterly boring, but the handle fits 3 fingers for a perfectly stable grip!




  • If all your current files are still in the “download” folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides

    Yeah, that’s the rub… they are all currently in separate movies, shows, and music folders as Plex/Jellyfin want them to be.

    But it’s sounding like the best bet is to leave the existing content alone for now and spin things up per the guides until I have a better handle on how it all works. Appreciate the input!





  • I’ve never used a Roku–can you install a speed test app or access a website to verify your network connection is solid?

    The one and only time I’ve experienced stuttering from my media server, I eventually found that my chromecast had roamed to a different access point with low signal for some reason. There is a handy android app to get your chromecast to run and display a speed test, which is what clued me in.

    Uncompressed bluray streams use a surprising amount of bandwidth, let alone 4k bluray! Especially compared.to Netflix, Hulu, etc.
