  • Is there any way to access YouTube within Plex?
    The Third and last piece is Flexget which is an automation tool which will also keep track of things it has already seen. Source: 10 months ago
  • RARBG is gone for good. RIP☹️
    That’s why I automated all my torrenting. The ads are ridiculous. I use flexget linked to my trakt account. I add something I want to the relevant trakt list and flexget searches various torrent sites, selects a torrent that meets my specifications (quality, size , torrent health), and adds it to my torrent client. I also have it configured to rename files, move them, and clean up my queue after I’ve reached seed... Source: 11 months ago
  • Is there a way to get jellyfin to automatically download youtibe videos from specific creators?
    To automate this, you could use flexget to check the channels you want periodically and send them to your youtube downloader. Source: over 1 year ago
  • One of my favorite podcasts is ending and I wanna back up the entire catalog. Where do I start?

    Lidarr handles your music downloads, sorts them and adds the correct metadata for your library to be picked up by Jellyfin. It will also upgrade your media if a better version is found. https://lidarr.audio/ there is also lidarr extended, which has extra features https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-lidarr-extended.

  • Integrating SoulSeek into Jackett (and by extension, qbittorrent)
    Just a side note there is lidarr that has webui that handles music, not tried soulseek looking at it now, so don't know if it's the same.. Source: about 1 year ago
  • has anyone done the big move from Spotify or other to Plex?
    First you will need "https://lidarr.audio/". Source: about 1 year ago
  • Plex & Torrent
    And finally, to connect these to all the various torrent sites and interpret the varying results you get back into a form sonarr/radarr (and even Lidarr for music) can deal with: there is Prowlarr. It handles adding/removing torrent trackers and each of their categories, then syncs those settings to the other software mentioned. You can also use it to manually search all of your torrent trackers at once for any... Source: about 1 year ago
