Don’t expose it over the Internet, local network access only, is the easiest but also limits you to accessing it only at home.

You could use something like tail scale or setup your own wireguard server to keep it still local-ish but still allow trusted people access.

Reverse proxy with auth of some kind if you plan to expose it to the Internet.

I’m not sure I understand what you just said. It allows users to request movies or TV shows and shows them what your media player already has available. If you interested it with the arrs it will add it and optionally initiate a search. https://docs.seerr.dev/

Allows your users to request media. Integrates with Plex/jellyfin/emby and the arrs

The fail dangerous doesn’t work if you block it in the torrent client, so you’d have to actually download it but then sonarr would mark it as failed and not get stopped from downloading new items for that show. Neither option is perfect.

See if you’re getting these bad torrent moreso from one particular tracker and then rethink about using that tracker.

Best option is trying to get into some private trackers, pretty easy looking for open signups on lemmy or the dreaded reddit.

You can do a custom format again the release title

The .scr and .lnk is more an issue with the trackers you’re using and not with those release groups, but to answer your question: create a custom format that looks for those groups in the release group field and then score them like -10000 in your quality profile.

Sonarr also has a new setting in to fail dangerous downloads like those so they won’t stay in your activity queue, it’s in the indexer settings.

A second option for docker is the hotio image for qbit. Has VPN support built in so you can just throw it your wg0 conf to use.

Good thing you can edit titles on lemmy

Looks like autocorrect got you on the title

You can always run both and see which you prefer. I use jellyfin for me because the devices I use have clients that work really well. Older TVs for family members weren’t as simple and I couldn’t be bothered to figure it out so they use Plex.

What this person said for the grab event to find where it came from and sonarr also has a new setting per indexer to fail unsafe downloads, the only drawback is you have to let your downloader download the file in the first place.

The alternative is blocking the files with your download client by extension and then manual intervention.

An option is also to switch to docker (compose) which would allow you to VPN just the qbit container instead of your whole host machine. Recommend hotio, he has containers for a bunch of apps in this realm and has VPN support built in with pia support.

There is on the main list of artists but I would test it first on a single artist/album

Couldn’t you just fix the naming settings to include the album and then pick an artist and preview rename and see if it fixes it will fix it?

If the torrents are still seeding when the import in arrs happens, it would copy the file(s) to your media folder so you’d have two copies now. If the torrent is done seeding and, I think if you have completed download handling enabled, it’ll do a move instead so you’d end up with only one copy.

Ideally though you want a hardlink compatible setup but from what you said you do not.

Jellyfin just monitors your media folder which is managed by the arrs.

Lidarr is centered around full albums unless a song was released as a single, specifically it uses release-group on musicbrainz.

I run both jellyfin and Plex, and for the music app I think plexamp > finamp, but both work to sync between their respective instance. I haven’t tried anything else because I already had Plex pass for other things.

If they’re organized you can do library imports, after setting up the arrs for the most part. For example your movies folder would need to have a folder per movie named like ‘Movie Title (year)’ at a minimum and then contain the movie…just make sure what you’re seeding in qbit is not the same folder, but you can use hardlinks to keep seeding how qbit wants it while allowing the arrs to keep its copy nice and clean.

I’m pretty sure you can do a library import after you setup the arrs and use them for a while, you just need to utilize categories is qbit so the arrs only look at their specific category.

Read through their wiki getting started and faq and check out the trash guides.

I think it depends how your current files are organized. The arrs require a certain level of organization and naming to do a library import, they also want you to keep your downloads and your library copy as different folders but in a way that hopefully supports hardlinks so you don’t take up twice the space. ‘Trash guides’ is a great place to look at for getting started and they have an unraid guide as well.

The servarr (radarr, lidarr, readarr), sonarr, and trash guides discords are also really helpful if you don’t object to using discord.

If all your current files are still in the “download” folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides and then work your way through importing them to the arrs from the activity queue.

Look at hotio instead, recommended by me and popular among those that support the *arrs.

I have no guidance on your issue but just to make sure, this is two commands and not one:

docker exec -it jellyfin ldconfig

sudo systemctl restart docker

Do you get the restarting message with just the first command?
