Automated TV Show piracy state of the art? (lemmy.world)

I've sailed the high seas for a while starting with Emule, through MIRC, torrenting, mega(upload) and many more.

Lately I've been using a p4s service on plex but they kept having issues so I stopped it. I don't mind paying but I want

  • the latest episodes of my content as it comes out
  • great quality with little to no compression
  • english subtitles, original voice (whether english, japanese...)
  • 100% uptime.

I'm assuming my p4s service was not downloading new episodes by hand, so there must a (set of) OSS software to automatically download new episodes of a predefined set of TV shows / anime, add subtitles, and make it available as a plex server or similar no? I'm a software developer so not affraid to run a few docker containers on a local server

If you're able to self-host:

Sonarr for TV shows

Radarr for Movies

Lidarr for Music

others for books etc.

These can be use with torrent sites (but you'll be dealing with torrent quality files), or hooked up to Usenet indexers which search the usenet for the shows/films/etc you are after.

Usenet tends to have much higher quality copies of files available.

They then pass the info to SABNZBD or NZBGet (other options available) which you hook up to a Usenet provider to actually download the files.

Indexers have free options, but paid are better, and providers are always paid iirc.

Why do you mean by torrent quality? I’ve been torrenting for years and never had any quality issues.

Thanks, I've got that setup in an evening on a machine that wasn't doing anything, with unraid as an OS.

It works beautifully and the quality of content and speed (100MB/s always !!!!) of the usenet servers are just amazing.

So landed on OS - Unraid Getting TV Shows - Sonarr (as Docker app) Indexer - NZBGeek Usenet server - Eweka Getter - NZBGet Streaming platform - Plex

I'll add Radarr at some point but I just don't watch that many movies. Might looks into books and scans of mangas though. Thanks anyway.

Eweka is definitely the best for a main server in my opinion. There's a good discount on it, but I can't find the link since r/usenet is still dark. It's like 3.99/month or something. If you're not totally set on NZBGet, I might suggest SABnzbd instead since NZBGet is no longer receiving updates.

Thanks, I'll have a look over all that over the weekend.
