While I wholeheartedly support all your gripes with the streaming services, how come everyone loves fucking Plex with *arr so much? Plex has been nothing but janky for me and constantly tried to push it’s own bullshit through dark patterns (some plex-tv-stuff added to a menu here, some recommendations to their own BS there), while looking and feeling super outdated. This is without the need to switch applications just to get to overseer.
Isn’t Stremio more comfortable for most ppl?
Yep. Got such a service as well. I’ve got this one docker container that’s supposed to connect to a VPN and provide access from the outside to another one. The bitch keeps just crashing to a point where even “restart policy: always” will give up on it. Doesn’t matter too much usually, since I can start the container before I need it, and it will usually run for half a day or so, yet still
Remember the super important maintenance things you learned by hard? This is them now. Feel old yet?
No, it means that there was a Par2-File (which I didn’t recognize since I haven’t used Usenet for long) and a regular file but Readarr kept picking the Par2 file.
Hey, wwhile I indeed didn’t even know one could do a custom format with a negative score, I solved the issue by adding the corresponding releases those par2 files were for manually.
Thanks :) Yet… why keeps Readarr fetching those and not the base file I wonder?
Those do come from a private Indexer (and given the explanation by @Laser@feddit.de, they are supposed to be there
The PDF situation all over again

Oh, it is silly and it is stupid. Yet, it’s how EA acted under Johnny here. That’s the time they were regularly voted as the worst US company. They pulled this with so many things (“Fun surprise mechanics”)
So the Unity stakeholders were less willing to let John do the "if you want something no one’s gonna accept, announce something even more horrible and then release a ‘we heard you’ statement where you announce the thing you wanted in the first place as comprise " bullcrap?
I might just do that when I find the time. It’s way too unknown imho. Yes, it’s not the right choice if you want to keep everything you watched, but for everything you want to watch once and be done with, it’s a better solution in my opinion.
Thank you for putting in the effort!
Yet… I don’t get why using the *Arr stack and Plex is so popular. Plex is annoying as fuck and tries to shill you their paid bullshit at every corner. The Arr stack is buggy and having a separate system for recommendations and requests and for library management is super cumbersome for me. Compare that with Stremio… I could never convince the wife to use Plex with overseer at all. Stremio is super convenient.
Im just saying this because I spent my weekend getting another Arr stack running after years of absence and noticed that the whole thing is as convoluted and fiddly as ever and that really got me wondering why people just take this as the industry standard for torrenting.
And even then, you pay with your Data.
That, indeed, is true. It’s rather cheap, yet not free.
So are you looking to connect storage to it and run local media or are you looking more for a streaming thing to play Netflix and such?
