Media server (lemmy.ml)

Relatively new to this but, I finally got my media server up and working! I want to improve the success of the search function though. Is there a way to know if content is on usenet but my indexer is not good enough? I would rather steer clear of torrenting for now. How do I go about finding good indexer?

I'm using Geek, they're pretty good so far. I've found everything I've searched for on them. I don't even search trackers anymore, with how fast and efficient Usenet is compared to torrents.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking into it currently!

I've started using alldebrid. It technically is torrents but not using my home network so I don't need a VPN anymore. I use RealDebrid Client with my alldebrid account and it works with all the *arr services. Most torrents I can download at my full ISP speed.

I know it's not what your asking for but just throwing the idea out there.

nzb.su, nzbgeek and nzbplanet are pretty good.

I think theres no way to know if content is on usenet but not getting found through your indexer, apart from trying another indexer and noticing the file is there. I'd suggest getting 2-3 lifetime memberships and they should cover your needs. Sometimes lifetime is available fairly cheap, sometimes it's not open and you have to wait. In terms of recommendations, I like nzbgeek, drunkenslug, miatrix, and nzbplanet.

Have you tried using prowlearr? It claims to support usenet.

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

It's not a claim, Prowlarr does support Usenet.

[-] Spark1337@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

You still need at least one indexer account for Prowlarr, correct?

[-] Skotimusj@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't quite understand what prowlearr adds over just adding multiple indexers to Sonarr/radar?

It allows for managing indexer/tracker from only one place for all *arrs. I usually set the apps to "Full Sync", so I never change anything in each of the apps (e.g. radarr).

It also provides some statistics, like how many file grabs each indexer gave you compared to others. This might help to decide which of the paid ones are actually useful (useful for usenet indexer).

If your not resource constrained (e.g. rpi), I'd recommend prowlarr. It makes things more streamlined imo.

I'm not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr's I couldn't work out the point of Prowlarr.

Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn't slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.

[-] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

My point was mostly about the added RAM usage if running prowlarr (or any other additional web server). It's probably not an issue with Pi4s since they have more RAM. I've seen prowlarr use quite a bit CPU while syncing, but that was only for a short time.

So it's probably save to ignore my comment.
