You should check out Prowlarr, its like jackett, but integrates better into sonarr/radarr
Prowlarr has a prettier UI but the torrent sites they support are maintained by Jackett. It noone gives credit, at some point Jackett won't be maintained and Prowlar neither.
Disclaimer: I'm qBittorrent, Jackett, Flaresolverr and Bazarr developer.
Hey thanks for your work. QBT and Jackett are super stable and well done.
Damn, I'm huge fan of yours. Using qBbittorent, Jacket, Flarsolverr and Bazarr in docker. Thanks for your work.
But I never managed to get Jackett plugin to work x)
https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/How-to-configure-Jackett-plugin
It has limitations, but qBittorrent is used by 40M users aprox and we are only 3-5 active developers. Managing the open issues don't let us time to work on new features...
Thanks for the link. I've been following these instructions from start. Looks like it's searching for a while, but ends up saying "Jackett: connection error getting indexer list!"
Who needs new features when the most important ones are working perfectly anyway :)
You're doing gods work. Amazing how many people benefit from your efforts. Thank you.
I dont need a fancy UI for jackett since it's only needed for the API.
Prowlarr does have the ability to do a search of all indexers including usenet, combined into one results list, which is very nice for finding rare or niche things outside of Sonarr/Radarr.
So I have both installed and configured, but only ever use prowlarr for manual searches cause jackett is working and i'm too lazy to change all my settings in my 6 separate ARR instances.
Made the reverse. Switched to prowlarr and keeping jackett if something does not work on prowlarr.
Thank you for your work on those beloved softwares.
Qbit desktop thin client when? Lol
It's not in the roadmap. You can run qBittorrent-nox (headless) with the web UI. It works really well with thousands of torrents.
Yeah, just wish there was one. The web UI is very clunky so I use Flood but that has its own quirks. Would be cool though, would bring me back to when I used Deluge!
I have all of these programs running on raspberry pi, including Flood (mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent, also supports Deluge), and plex media server. It can't be easier to watch movies and tv shows that way.
Are they all running on the Pi, or just the torrenting tools?
My 5¢, got a similar stack running fine on a Pi 4B 8GB (with Jellyfin instead of Plex). Just gotta make sure to direct play, it does not like transcoding too much, even with hw acceleration
Transcoding is also turned off in my case. But I couldn't get used to Jellyfin. I tried, but I just couldn't.
That's fair, never used Plex but I suppose it's more polished being a product and all. In my case, I read Plex requires an internet connection to work and I needed my media server to be available offline, so it was a deal-breaker
Jellyfin is actually very polished in my opinion. Using it very often
Works flakey at best. I could transcode but only 1080p anime caused by SSA subs. And it would buffer. A lot.
Today Jellyfin is really good with not causing uneccessary transcoding
Everything is running on Pi. But I have Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of ram. Actually I have Raspberry Pi 400, which is basically 4GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4, with slightly overclocked CPU and passive cooling, inside small keyboard, but I only got that because Raspberry Pi 4 was out of stock.
Make an image of your SD card if you haven't already. Better yet run the OS over USB. sd cards to die.
I have made an image. One sd card already died, but it worked for a long time. It was at least readonly, and I get most of the files off (I had backup, but I wanted to get the most latest files). Movies and series are on 5TB hard drive, so I don't have to worry about that. But are usb sticks really more reliable? My friend is using home assistant and he moved data partition to usb stick, just becaues he heard usb sticks are more reliable than sd cards, but not long after that, usb stick stopped working.
